J. Henry Heaviland, formerly keeper of
the Court House, refused to hand the
keys of the building to his success or,
Wilbur F. Shinn, but the latter secured
the key to the front door and conducted
business with that for a few days. Heav-
Hand has opened the other doors and it is
said that he has given up all idea of con-
testing for the position. His grounds for
ever considering such a project were
that, being an old soldier, he could not be
removed except for cause. The law I'M
der which he proposed to act was passed
in March, 1897. Heaviland was elected
the following May, hence Shinn, who was
then removed, had the first claim to the
office. In order to su~bstantiate his suit
for retention Heaviland would be com
PEELED to prove his legal title to the place.
Georgianna Webster, aged is years,
whose father, Henry Webster, resides at
Brandywine Centre, Pa, is the name of a
Young girl who seven years ago was tax
/ en- from the Burlington County Children's
Home by Benajah P. Wills of Mount
Holly. She was treated kindly and had a
good home and it was not suspicioned that
She was dissatisfied. On Friday night,
however, the girl ran away, going to
Philadelphia on the late train. The faith
er had been telegraphed to but he could
not be found. There are circumstances
which lead to the belief that Georgianna
was assisted in her sudden departure by a
former employee in the Wills home and
also by a young lady living on Pine street,
who accompanied the runaway to the
railroad station. Her clothing had pre-
viously been removed during the absence
of the family by an accomplice. Mrs.
Morris H. Keller and Mrs. Daniel Suffer,
as representatives of the Home, nave put
Officer Denness in search of the missing
girl. He went to Brandywine Centre last
night.
