DoiAncO AT w mite Hill.
WHITE HILL 6, MOUNT HOLLY 1.
White Hills aggregation made its frs
appearance in Mount Holly on Saturday
and the county seaters can understand
now why that club has been holding frs
place in the race for the pennant Theil
long suit is Hesley's hinky dink pitching
which proved too deceptive for the home
team, as only three hits and base OF
balls were secured. OF these Gleason got
the base on balls and two hits. The Other
hit was made by Dunn.
Wilson, on the other hand, was batted
freely-the hardest of the season. By &
combination of six hits, wild pitch and
two errors in the second inning, the visi
tors scored five runs, and removed all
doubt as to the outcome of the game.
After that it was pretty contest to wit
ness, as there was some fast fielding, par
ticularly by Mount HOLLY. Three quick
double plays by the home team was a
feature.
Mount Holly scored its solitary run in
the first inning. Gleason drew base on
balls and stole second Dunn sacrificed,
advancing Gleason to third. Logan hit
to Furth, who fumbled the ball, and GIea-
son scored. Logan was caught trying to
steal second and Denness struck out, re-
firing the side.
As above stated the visitors got five
runs in the second inning after which
there was no tallying until the seventh,
when they got one more on an error by
Dunn and two singles by ]. Hesley and
Furth.

Killed at Moorestown.

| Under the impression he was shooting 8
chicken thief, Charles Blackison killed 6
man on Thursday morning. About three
o'clock in the morning Blackison, who
lives on Silas Walton's farm, near Moores
town. was aroused by noise among his
chickens. He got his gun and went tc
see what was the trouble. When he got
near the chicken house he saw dark OBJ
ject crawling along the ground. At first
he thought it was dog but was well sat
isfied that whatever it was it was interior
ing with the safety of the chickens, so he
fired
There was an outcry and Blackison then
found he had shot man. He at once
went to the latter and discovered the en-
tire charge from the gun had entered the
body of the victim with terrible effect.
Blackison at once notified Moorestswn's
chief of police and that officer took the
wounded man in charge, keeping him at
Moorestown until Thursday afternoon,
when he started for the Burlington County
hospital at Mount Holly with his patient,
who died however before Masonville was
reached
I The dead man was George Miller, a
tramp, and member OF a gang that has
been hanging around Moorestown for
some time. After discovering what he
had done Blackison at once surrendered
himself to the authorities to await the
action of the coroner.
Coroner Stroud took charge of the case
and empannelled a jury to investigate 1t
was composed as follows Samuel S.
Dagger, Fred. A. Measey, John W. Dix
Jr., Thomas II. Marter William s. Tip
penhauer, Joseph L. Borton. The inquest
was held on Saturday afternoon. The &C
cused man was represented by Aaron E.
Burr.
Before the jury Blackston told his story
to the effect that he was aroused on the
morning of the shooting by hearing a
noise in his chicken yard. Taking his
gun he went down and saw something
moving along the ground, and thinking it
was dog he fired, to find that the object
was man. He at once went to his house,
told his wife he had shot man, and then
went for aid After the man was remov-
ed from the scene of the shooting Black
ston delivered himself to the authorities
Other witnesses testified to the good
character of Blackston, who appears to
to be a Woodworking, inoffensive man.
Silas Walton told of the place where
the shooting took place 1t was in dark
corner where it would be impossible to
discern between man and dog. Mr.
Walton gave Blackston very good char
acter as to quiet disposition.
The jury decided that Blackston had
not committed any criminal act and rem
dered the following verdict; eve find the
said Henry E. Mullen came to his death
by gunshot wound at the hands of Charles
Blackston, and this jury exonerates said
Blackston from any blame.
The body of the dead man was taken in
charge by Undertaken Bolton, who used
every endeavor to locate the mans friends
who were supposed to be in Philadelphia
He discovered that there were no relatives
nearer than Idaho, so he buried the body
in his own lot at Bridgeboro, that he may
know its exact locality in case it is evel
claimed by friends.

There are two female tramps about
town whom the officers do not like to ar
rest, not because of the gender in the case.
but because of the scene which usually
follows. One of these women is Maggie
Bryan. When arrested she uses shocking
and profane language, more to humiliate
the policeman than anything else, but
when passing where there are ladies her
vulgarity is of such character as to
shock the sensibilities of decent people
These women are entitled to no tender
sympathy when being taken to Jail, and
the best way to get them there is for the
officers to have the power to secure con
, veyance and take such prisoners by /
back route. On account of their past his
tory they should be given the full penalty
, of the law, and by so doing they woult
! be kept in seclusion most of the time
