A NATTER Of GRAVITY.

dear young lady and steady" overheard
the damsel asked ''him'' how much she
would weigh. The young man pond
cred over the matter moment and
then replied that he could not tell very
we'll without "hefting'' her. Suitinp
the action to the word he gently placed
his best arm round her waist and raised
her from the ground, and said he should
guess she weighed l25 pounds. The
young lady shook her head and softly
said, That isn't right; you'd better
guess again. Judging from the last
glimpse of the pair our friend thinks
the young man had rather a. .shefty''
job-although not unpleasant one-in
guessing the young lady's weight

farther up the Amazon than any other

the work of civilization will begin in
the Philippines. What will the "aun-

will welcome peace. peace with honor,
peace bringing an enlargement of our

among the nations Of the world. Future
generations will wonder how anyone
could have opposed the onward march
of American civilization.

Nearly an Accident.

There was very narrow escape from
a railroad accident on Saturday afternoon
on the road between Mount Holly and
Camden. The express trains to the shore
were run in sections. Before leaving
Camden they were given orders where to
meet the train from the shore that goes
through Mount Holly at 1.15. The first
section was to meet it at Maple Shade.
The second section was to pass it at Merch-
antville, the west bound train to take
the siding. When the second section
reached Merchantville the other train was
not there, but the express thundered right
along. As it neared Horning Grove the
engineer was startled to see the down
train approaching him on the same track.
He pressed his brakes hard and brought
his train to stop The engineer of the
other train did the same thing and the
two stopped not very far apart.
The east bound line ran back to Merch-
whole trouble was neglect of orders
When the second section reached Merch-
antville and the engineer saw that the
west bound train was not on the siding
he should have waited until its arrival. II
is the rule of the railroad company tt
keep the red signal set at all times after
scheduled trains have passed. This sig
nal was displayed at Merchantville OF
Saturday and the engineer of the SECOND
section blew for the operator to drop it
The latter, not knowing anything of thu
orders issued at Camden, obeyed thu
whistle, which was in accord with tn,
usual custom. The conductor of tn,
train, who was busy taking tickets hear
ing the whistle, supposed it was an answe
to signal from the train they were t.
meet that all was right, and he conse
quently did not look out to see if tn
train was on the siding. 1t was very for
tunate that the meet occurred where
did, as it was straight piece of track
A slight curve would have been disas

Oemooratn Moot.

The state committee of the New Jersey
Democrats met at Asbury Park yesterday
and the result of their labors will not bring
harmony to their disgruntled ranks. Free
Silver was given knockout drops which
while they will not put the advocates of
that theory entirely to sleep will cause
them to doze awhile. The much discussed
question of who should be the successor of
the late Dr. Conrow on the state commit
tee was settled without the aid and advice
of the Free Silver contingent of this coun.
ty and the desires of the county executive
committee were completely ignored.
The Democrat, that potential advocate
of the silver craze, which claims to frame
not only the policy of the party in the
county, but in the state as well, has been
championing William F. Morgan for the
place. To those who knew the rumors of
the strained relations between the heads
of the Democrat and Morgan, there was
some doubt whether this advocacy was
genuine. But it was vigorous and never
tagged and on the face was sincere hence
there must be sorrow in the camp at the
result.
The new member of the state committee
is Prosecutor Budd. There was quite g
delegation of silver men from this county

vacancy but the state committee simply
smiled at them and advised them to go ant

recorded. There is no doubt they wer'
kept on the outside of the hall where thu
committee was sitting, where they tried t

most appropriate.

pared to whoop things up for Bryan an

were also given outside seats. 1t is neet

George Ferguson, son of Charles Fer

Although Rev. o. A. Kerr has resigned
the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church
of this city, and his resignation has been
accepted, he will continue to fill the pull
pit until action is taken on the matter by
the Presbytery of Monmouth. AT present
he is on his accustomed annual vacation.
The Presbytery will convene some time
next month Meantime, we learn that
Mr. Kerr has received letter from the
congregation, signed by majority of the
90 members of that body, expressing re-
greet at his resignation by so small vote
as Is to II; also, thanking him for his past
services, and, in view of all the circum-
stances, assuring him of their entire con
fidence in his integrity and character as a
minister of the Gospel.

Business Changes.

By transaction that was completed On
Wednesday, the Mount Holly gas works
passed under the control of syndicate
that is buying up such property in the
state 1t is called the American Invest
ment Company and is composed of such
men as Coils. Lewis Perrine and A. r.
Kuser, of Trenton, F. Warren Montgom-
cry, of New York, and other we'll known
capitalists. The deal just consummated
has been contemplated for some time, G.
Foster Cox being in communication with
the gentlemen named Mr.. Montgomery
ON Wednesday handed to Mr. Cox check
for $4,000 for the option on the gas
works and at the same time put down
81, 600 forfeit for a refusal on the saw and
grist mill and water power owned by Mrs
Richard G. Shreve. The price paid fol
both plants is $4,000.
1t is expected the entire deal will be
completed by October first. 1t is said the
new company desires to secure entire con
troll of the gas works and will pay off the
owners of bonds and stock in that corpo-
ration. Report says there will be large
plant erected which will supply electric
light, heat and power not only to Mount
Holly but to neighboring towns. A troll
ley system in this neighborhood is also
one of the possibilities. The old wooden
dam now in existence will be replaced by
stone one.
The other change is in the shoe business,
the factory of James H. Allen passing in
to the hands of company composed Of
Messrs. William s. and George Rendell,
of Mount Holly, and ]. Frank Budd and
Charles Harmer, of Burlington. Mr..
Allen will go to Camden and engage in
the manufacture of class of work which
he cannot turn out at a profit here. For
some time Mr.. Allen has been making
shoes for J. F. Budd, of Burlington, and
the latter thought he might as well take
charge of the factory here and do his own
work. Knowing the ability of the Messrs.
Rendell in the manufacture of shoes he
formed the company which will soon take
charge of affairs and probably increase
the capacity of the works.

Death From Paralysis.

Fred W., son of Charles A. Pope, who
lived with his father on farm near Col
umbus, died Thursday night of paralysis
at the age of fourteen years. The funera
took place yesterday, the body being in
TERED in Mount Holly.
Seven weeks since the young man had 8
tooth extracted, and the operation was
successful in every particular. The boy,
who was hearty and robust, expected to
bear the trying ordeal with fertitude, but
unknown to him liquid was injected in
to his gums to deaden the pain. After a
few days it became apparent that he was
declining in health, and before he was
stricken with paralysis his parents took
him to Asbury Park, and while there he
was examined by several doctors who
were attending meeting of the State Med
ical Association, and they concluded that
the patient needed rest, fresh air and ton
les to tone up his constitution.
But Fred continued to decline and f.
nally he received paralytic stroke which
affected his right side, and this was sub
followed by another which de-
stroyed his speech and resulted fatally.
DR.. Dubell who had the case in charge,
consulted with other physicians, and the
report was given out by the family that
the trouble arose from the cocaine used to
the pain.
The other side of the case is given by
the dentist, who says: II have searched
through eminent authors in my profess
sion and l find no such case on record. /
have consulted with several prominent
physicians and they say that it would be
impossible for such results to follow the
removing of tooth as did in this case.
Gas matter of fact have never used
cocaine in my life. The compound use is
eucaine, and it would not affect weak
heart or an impaired system. 1t is used
extensively by surgeons in minor surgery.
Several rumors have reached me as
cribing reasons for the boys untimely
death, the most plausible of which is that
from my office he drove home in the rain,
went to work, contracted heavy cold,
and was not able to recover"
