MED the charge, and demanded the name
of the person who gave Cunningham his
information. The balance of the team
refused to play without Kitchener and
the game which had been scheduled with
Florence was cancelled on Friday after
noon. Several persons agreed to give the
club financial aid and arrangements were
being made to have the games played on
grounds in another part of the city. Wis

played. Cunningham would not pay the
guarantee, claiming that under the rules

inquire whether he shall come. Flor
ence, on the other hand, claims the two
O'Clock notification was not recalled, and
also claims the game because the grounds
wsre in good enough condition to play.

and debris that travel was considerably
impeded. A carriage was turned COM
pletely over, but the occupant escaped
uninjured, and carriage house was
moved about yard from its foundation.
Large numbers of young birds were found
in the streets, having been blown from
the trees.
Near Moorestown the wind was also
strong. The barn on Frank Dudleys
farm was completely demolished. The
live stock was fortunately in another
building and escaped injury. A barn on
the farm occupied by John Stafford was
lifted from its foundation and blown some
distance across the field The roof OF
Thomas Holmes barn was blown off. A
tree near this barn was struck by light
ming. A horse that was passing at the
time was frightened and the woman who
was driving was hurt.

| ings were blown down. On the farm Of
Jacob Ritter, on the road to Hainesport, 6
small barn was lifted from it's foundation
and carried some distance The floor was
left standing and horse on it was not in

Highway Robbery.

A daring highway robbery occurred on
the outskirts of Delanco, Saturday after
noon, when Robert Ludlow, 65 years old,
Of Beverly, was badly beaten and robbed
of $40. The footpad, William Deary, a
tramp, was shot twice by Ludlow and is
now in Jail here.
Ludlow was proceeding alone along a
road leading into Delanco about o'clock
in the afternoon, when he was Accessibility
Deary, who asked him to take drink
from flask, but Ludlow replied that he
never drank liquor.
Then take that p exclaimed the tramp,
as he brought heavy stone down on Lud-
lows head. With a groan the elderly man
sank to the ground and blood flowed free
ly from cash where he had been hit. He
attempted to rise, but the tramp struck
him again and again with the stone, until
he sank back, stunned and helpless
The highwayman began rifing his vic
tins pockets, and had secured 50. 40, when
Ludlow rallied and made supreme effort
to defend himself The tramp turned to
pick up the stone to again attack the pros
trate man, but reaching quickly into his
hip pocket, Ludlow drew a revolver and
fred point blank at his assailant. The
bullet took effect in the bicep muscle of
the tramp's right arm, and he dropped
the stone. Ludlow fired again, and this
time the bullet entered the tramp's left
breast above the nipple.
This took all the fight out of the high.
wayman Ludlow arose to his feet, and,
although weak from his struggles and loss
of blood, marched his assailant into De
lance at the point of his revolver. He
took the tramp to the office of DR.. H. K
Weller who is also justice of the peace
DR.. Weller was out attending to his pa
keeping guard over him with his revolver
sat in the office for nearly two hours,
awaiting the doctors return. After the
doctor arrived and the injuries of both
men were dressed, Ludlow made complaint
against his assailant Deary was so badly
wounded that DR.. Weller decided to senC
him to the Cooper Hospital, Camden.
Constable Kreiner took Deary to Cam
den. The prisoner was unable to stant
the strain of the journey and fell from
| exhaustion after leaving the train. A pa
troll wagon conveyed him to the hospital
The surgeons succeeded in removing the
| bullet from his arm, but had been unabl,
to locate the bullet in his breast.
On Sunday it was discovered that Deary
was not as badly hurt as at first supposed
As he was being taken to the hospital t.
have another probing for the bullet, h,
remarked to the officer in charge that h
would save the surgeons further trouble
and handed the bullet over. 1t had passed
through his clothing and after making
flesh wound in his chest had dropped bacl

when he lay down to sleep. Deary wa
brought to the Mount Holly jail yesterday

Another Hitch.

1t seems to be impossible to have the
new stone road between Mount Holly and
Burlington built without lot of friction,
and from all appearances the trouble
seems to be entirely with the contractors,
or, what amounts to the same thing, their
foreman.
There appears to be determination to
build this road regardless of specifications
and in manner satisfactory to the con-
tractors only. John B. Davis is the super
visor and he has shown himself the right
man in the right place. Messrs. Stanley
had better issue instructions that the work
is to be done correctly.
The first hitch occurred at the outset,
when, notwithstanding the contract called
for the use of steam roller, horse roller
was sent Mr.. Davis objected and work
stopped until the matter was righted. And
so from time to time there have been little
things happening to retard the work. AS
the attention of the foreman was called to
them there would be some excuse made,
and sent away.
But the greatest kick came last week.
Mr.. Davis found fault with the stone
being used On calling attention of Pat
rick Fallon, the foreman, to the matter,
the latter claimed everything was all
right, and finally openly defed the super
visor, and announced his intention of
going ahead in spite Of the latter.
He did not know his man, however, and
when he was ready to begin work on
Thursday morning he found Mr.. Davis
had not been asleep all the time. At five
o'clock in the morning the supervisor had
called on Henry s. Haines, engineer on
the road, and took him to the railroad sta
ton where the cars loaded with stone
were standing. Mr.. Haines examined the
material and discovered the stone-was not
according to contract. So work has again
been stopped.

While George Early was going about
the town on Wednesday morning he lost
his pocketbook which contained quite an
amount-of money Mr.. Early went oD a
search and found it in his yard where he
probably dropped it as he was getting in

The residents in the neighborhood Of
the post Office were. awakened about two
o'clock Saturday morning by the ringing
of the burglar alarm in the second story
of the building. Several persons got up
and went to the place where they dis
covered an attempt to break into the post
office. A jimmy had been used on the
back door, but entrance could not be eff
fected in that way, so ladder was used
and window in the second story was
raised. This started the burglar alarm,

week, delighted the patrons of Keith's
Theatre, Philadelphia, will remain for
this week, repeating Sis Hopkins Visit. "
The sketch is one of the funniest of its
kind, and Miss Melvilles work as the
gawky country girl, with her pigtails and
bingham apron, is inimitable. The piece
amuses because of its naturalness, its sim
plicity and quaintness. Miss Melville is
assisted by several clever people, who aid
her in making the sketch thoroughly en-
ioyable. Another quaint character sketch
in the programme will be given by 0dell
Williams, the well-known impersonator of
genial old countrifed characters, who
will, with his company, present little
comedy entitled "The Judge" Mr.. Will
liams is known for his excellent work in
such parts as Uncle Josh in "The Old
