day afternoon the wheels left the track,

Charles Evan Merritt, receiver, has sold

On Friday morning a strong smell of
gas was noticed coming from a room in
the Spring Garden hotel in Philadelphia.
One of the clerks entered the room and
found a man and woman unconscious.
They were hurried to a hospital where
they recovered. The man gave the name
of John Carroll, of this city, but it is
thought the name was assumed, as inquiry
fails to find any one with that name here.
The Republican Executive Committee
of this city nave retained Mark r. Sooy to
represent them in an action about to be
brought against Samuel w. Semple. Sem
pie was elected as a Democratic represen-
tative in the Common Council of this city
at the last municipal election by a major
ity of Z. The Republicans claim to have
gathered sufficient evidence of fraud prac-
ticed in the ward on election day to I'M
seat Semple.
A man who appeared to be demented
was picked up on the farm of William
Brock and brought to this city. He was
locked up at the city jail. When picked
up the man had nothing on his head or
feet and claimed to be in search of water
in which to wash. The prisoner says his
name is John Haggerty, a leather worker
by trade, and that he worked at Newark,
and boarded at Canal and Laurel streets,
that city. His actions and talk are irrat-
ional. He will be held pending further
Investigation.
The residents of this city were greatly
shocked on Sunday to hear of the death
of R. Frank Wood. About two years ago
Mr.. Wood went to California in the hope
of beneftting his health. The climate for
a time did what was expected, but during
the past few months the sick man seemed
TO decline. DR.. Rink was summoned to
go to Pasadena, where Mr.. Wood had
settled himself in a nice home. He had
decided to come back to Burlington and
wanted DR.. Rink to be with him on the
journey. They started and the effort was
probably too much as Mr.. Wood died on
the train between Harrisburg and Altoona.
Mrs. Wood and DR.. Rink were with the
sick mar when he breathed his last. AS
there had not been any idea hat the end
was SO near the news came to friends in
this city like a thunder bolt. Mr.. Wood
was 40 years of age. He was one of Bur
lington's most enterprising business men,
whose death will cast gloom over the en-
tire city. He leaves a wife and three
children.

Teachers Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Burlington County Teachers Association
was held in the High School building,
Mount Holly, on Saturday. The algebra
class finished quadratics and then proceed
ed to the discussion of the general theory
OF equations. The rule was given for de-
termining the number of positive roots
and the number of negative roots an equa-
ton may have, also for determining the
sum of the roots and their product. The
class then took up proportion and solved
a few problems under that head. County
Superintendent Stees said he would like
to make the meetings of the association
more interesting and more beneficial next
year and asked for opinions in regard to
the best method. Several suggestions
were made recommending plans used in
other places. Owing to the small attend
ance no afternoon session was held.

Joseph H. Beers, of Trenton, t~estiies
that he caught a severe cold which settled
IN his lungs; was treated by his family
physician for 2 months, but grew worse.
He told him he had consumption and no
medicine could cure him. A friend of
the family advised him to get Stretch's
Balsam. He bought a bottle and to his
delight found prompt relief. He con
tinued its use, and after taking six bottles
found himself sound and well, able to do
his work, and feels as well as he ever did.

According to a celebrated anatomist
there are upwards of 8, 1000, 900 little glands
in the human stomach. These glands pour
out the digestive juices which dissolve or
digest the food. Indigestion is want of
juice, weakness of glands, need of help to
restore the health of these organs The
best and most natural help is that given
by Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural,
because it supplies the materials needed
by the glands to prepare the digestive
juices. Because it strengthens and in
vigorates the glands and the stomach, IN
til they are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indiges-
ton certainly and permanently. 1t does
so by natural means, and therein lies the
secret of its wonderful and UNMARRIED sue
cess. At druggists, price 10 cents to 81 100
per bottle.

rhe Value of Unremitting Adv cruising.

A well-known member of a New York
publishing house, in an interesting talk on
advertising matters recently, told the fol
lowing incident, which shows how famil-
lar the general reading public may become
with an advertising trade mark, when it is
used with unremitting vigor:-
81 went to the Riviera last winter, and
on the homeward passage, coming out of
the Mediterranean, l suddenly thought of
passing the Rock of Gibraltar. 1t was a
beautiful moonlight night, and quite a
party of Americans gathered on the deck
to see if the fortress did really look like
The Prudential advertisement. We got a
splendid view, and the illustration in the
the advertisement is very like the real
thing. We were all a little disappointed
however, that we didn't see The Pruden-
tial has the Strength of Gibraltar on the
side of the rock, but l presume Her Maj
esty's Government objected"
Doubtless The Prudential Insurance
Company has never requested such per
mission but it is evident that the rock and
its world-famed fortress has been of vast
benefit o the Company in its extensive
advertising operations.
