MooresSown,

The members of William T. Sherman
Post, No, 112, G. A. r., are hard at work
arranging for the proper observance OF
Memorial Day on May 80.
On Memorial Day the Moorestown Field
Club will have an all-day game Of cricket
on their grounds with the leading cricket
club of north Jersey-the Jersey City A.
A. club.
One of u former Moorestown boys,
Isaac Shreve, who has established a sue
cessful business at Tioga, Pa, was mar
ried to Miss Mary Taylor, of that place, on
Wednesday evening.
While DR.. @. j. Kille was lubricating
his bicycle, he caught his hand in the
chain, and had one finger cut off and the
rest of the fingers badly mutilated. 1t is
feared he may be compelled to have his
hand amputated.
Hundreds of bicyclists from every di-
~rection came through here, but eight of
them came to grief. As the roadway
made poor riding, they took the sidewalks,
and watchful constables took them in.
Each had to pay So fine for riding on the
sidewalks on Sunday, in violation of a
township ordinance.
Walter Fl. Thompson, the head of the
book publishing firm of w. H. Thomp-
son & Co., of No. 1926 South Sixth street,
Philadelphia, died at his home here Fri
day, after an illness of about two weeks.
He was suffering with a complication of
diseases, but the direct cause of his death
was an affection of the heart. Mr.. Thomp-
son was widely known through his num-
erous publications. He was also actively
connected with numerous secret and ben
evolent organizations and a member of
the Baptist Church here.

Before Judge Garrison, in Camden, on
Saturday, Lawyer F. Morse Archer, coun-
sci for DR.. Willis H. Hunt, made applica-
ton for two rules to show cause why a
certiorari should not be granted for the
purpose of taking up for review before the
Supreme Court the action of the Camden
County Board of Freeholders in author
izing the purchase of the Marlton and
Medford turnpike and the Camden and
Westield turnpike The prosecutor in
his affidavit asserts that at the time the
Board of Freeholders decided to purchase
the roads there was no appropriation with
which to pay for them, and that the Board
could not legally raise money for that pur-
pose.
The affidavit also attacks the method by
which the resolution was adopted, and al
leges that one or two persons, members Of
the Board, were interested in the sale Of
the roads, because of their directly or in
directly holding stock or judgments
Judge Garrison allowed both rules, made
the same returnable in two weeks and
made an order of stay.
There will be little to be heard, how
ever, when the time expires, as the free
holders turned a complete somersault yes
terday. Every member of this board had
been served with a copy of the writ Of
certiorari granted by Justice Garrison OF
Saturday. The board not only reconsid
cred the purchase of the pixies, but re.
solved to indefinitely postpone the pur
chase. Not satisfied with this, the mem
bers of the board reconsidered the con
struction of the stone roads from Had
donfield to Magnolia and to Mount Eph
rain, and left the petitions to the incom
ing board, which will organize next week

Balance on hand.

The report was received and ordered
spread upon the minutes.
An informal discussion then took place
upon the means of raising the money nee
essary to pay the annual expenses Of the
Board, the chief item being the rent of
the shoe factory property. The sense of
the meeting was that no industry should
be allowed to leave the town for trivial
reasons, and that the promises made by
the directors should be fulfilled. A mo-
ton was passed requesting the directors
to appoint a committee to solicit the bal
ance needed to pay outstanding debts.
Amos Gibbs. on behalf of those of the
owners of the mill property present at the
meeting, pledged So each toward paying
the rent of the shoe factory hereafter.
The following officers and directors
were elected: President, Charles Evan
Merritt vice president, Charles K. Cham
bers; secretary, Harry L. Walters; treas
urer, John B. Davis; directors, Amos
Gibbs, Charles A. King, Robert L. Nixon,
Edward D. Stokes, George D. Worrell,
DR.. John J. Flynn, Charles H. Folwell,
John A. Bidwell, Mark R. Sooy, Joseph
Cross, Josiah w. Evan.
The annual dues of members, one dol
lar, being called for, a number of those
present paid the secretary, and notice was
given that all others are requested to pay
same without being solicited-an unpleas-
ant and thankless task. Any person can
become a member at any time upon pay
ment of 81 to the treasurer or secretary.

Suicide.

Some boys roaming through the woods
at Mount Laurel Sunday, found the body
of an unknown man about 60 years of age.
Beside him lay a revolver, and a bullet
hole penetrating his left breast and heart.
Every indication pointed to deliberate sui
eide. He was seen in front of the Mount
Laurel town hall Saturday afternoon, and
about dusk a shot was heard in the woods,
but no attention was paid to it. The man
had climbed to the highest point of land
on the mount, and in that almost inacces-
sible locality committed the deed. Cor
oner F. G.. Stroud, of Moorestown, was
notified, and viewed the remains. The
man had no marks or papers of any kind
on his person whereby he could be identi-
fed. The contents of his pockets consist
ed of $3.50 and a policy ticket. He is five
feet seven inches in height, weighs 1870
pounds, has light sandy hair, moustache
and goatee, and wore a suit of light brown
plaid clothes, low walking shoes and Der
by hat. The body was taken to Moores-
town, and has been identified as that of
John Olsen, of Philadelphia.

The Yardville Crossing.

Judge Robert s.. Woodruff, represent
ing the Trenton Street Railway Company,
appeared before Vice Chancellor Reed,
Wednesday morning, and asked the Vice
Chancellor to designate the name in
which the company shall cross the tracks
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
near Yardville. The trolley company is
DESTROYS of having a grade crossing, while
the Pennsylvania Railroad insists on an
elevated crossing. The Railroad Com
pany was represented by Alan H. Strong.
After hearing the witnesses produced
on each side and listening to the argu-
ment of the respective counsel, the Vice
Chancellor said he would personally visit
the place where the crossing is to be be-
fore rendering his decision. The Vice
Chancellor went to Yardville on Wednes-
day and made an investigation of the
spot, and it is anticipated that his deci-
sion will be rendered at an early date.
The application to the Vice Chancellor
to prescribe the manner of the crossing of
the two tracks was made under a law
passed a few years ago by the Legisla-
ture which vests this power in the Chan
cellor, The Pennsylvania Railroad has
for ZONE years been trying to abolish
grade crossings on its system as far as
possible, and this was their reason for OPP
posing the construction of a grade cross
ing in the present instance.

Towards the close of the game on Satur
day, a crowd of boys and young men
rushed along the right field line and began
to boot and jeer the Florence players with
the intention of discomfiting chem. The
game was stopped until the crowd returned
to the bleachers. This caused some
growing on the part of a few who claimed
that Mount Holly gets such treatment
when it goes from home. 1t must be un-
derstood that rowdyism will not be al
lowed on the Mount Holly grounds.
Those who indulge in such conduct are
not the only persons to be considered.
There were many others present on Satur-
day who could not hear the umpire's an
~nouncements, nor could they enjoy the
game owing to the noise being made by
the shouters. Mount Holly will maintain
proper order on its grounds.
Saturdays game here shows that the old
system of roasting" the manager is not
to be abated, and he will be harshly criti-
cised every time his club loses a game
when it wins he will be one of the best
fellows ever seen on the grounds. This is
unfair. The management of Saturday
was all that any fair minded person could
ask. This remark applies to the event in
the seventh inning. It was decidedly better
to accede to the demands of the visitors
than to have the first game on the home
grounds end in a row and have the teams
leave the field. So far as the two clubs
| are concerned Mount Holly is certainly

the stronger, with possibly one exception,
which weakness will be remedied before
the next game. The friends Of the home
team must bear in mind that there will be
more feeling against the Mount Holly
club than against any other in the league.
If the hackers of the home team lend their
aid in this direction by criticising mana
ger and players it is easy to see the finish.
Give everybody a fair chance.

The sidewheel steamboat Florence,
which is owned and commanded by Cap
tain Tyler, of this city, plying between
here and Philadelphia, while on her re-
turn trip to Bordentown, Thursday after
noon, was struck by the coal barge Frank
lin, of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company, which was being towed to
Port Richmond, crashing in the bow of
the steamer so badly that the boat began
to fill. At the time the steamer was struck
there were about twelve passengers aboard,
and the captain headed the disabled craft
toward the New Jersey channel, and final
ly beached the boat at the head of Second
street, this city, where the passengers
were put ashore and the freight was re-
moved to the wharf by the crew. The
barge was also towed back to Mills
ship yard, practically u%ninjured. The
cause of the collision, it was said, was
due to the fact that the barge was light
and in tow, and the wind, which was
blowing a good breeze, caught the craft
as it was in the turn, and swept her into
the bow of the Florence. The damage to
the steamboat is estimated at nearly 81 900,
and the boat will have to be hauled out
on the railway for the necessary repairs.

BEVERLY 9. BURLINGTON 3.

This game took place at Burlington and
was quite interesting until the last inning,
when Beverly scored five runs. Hitch
ener, a new man in this section, occupied
the box for Burlington, their regular
pitcher, Pete Miller, having signed to
play in Portland, Maine. McFetridge
pitched two innings for Beverly, striking
two men. He then retired, owing to
a sore arm, and Randall took his place,
putting up an excellent game.

Florence, White Hill, Beverly and Pal
myra were the winners of the ball game
of the Burlington County League on Sat
urday, the opening of the season. TIL
attendance was good at all the games, anC
the outlook at present is that the league
will create more enthusiasm in base bal
in Burlington county than was ever ex.
perienced before.
Below are the scores of Saturdays
games:
FLORENCE 8, MOUNT HOLLY 6.
The game at the fair grounds was very
exciting, the score being tied several times.
Mount Holly had the game won at least
twice and should have finished ahead, but
costly errors and some queer umpiring
gave the contest to Florence.
The only unpleasant feature was a
wrangle over the umpire's decision in the
seventh inning, while Florence was at bat.
One man was out and second and third
bases were occupied. The batter hit a
fly which looked safe but was caught by
Cross in right field. The runners on sec
ond and third, thinking it would not be
caught, each advanced a base at once.
Cross threw the ball to second, complet-
ing a double play. The umpire decided
the side out but that the runner from
third scored before the double play was
completed, and that the run counted-a
very liberal Interpretation for Florence.
Much to the surprise of the spectators,
Florence kicked and refused to continue
unless the decision was changed so that
only one man was out-the one caught
out by Cross. After a twenty-minute
pow-wow the trouble was concluded by
placing one runner back on second and
allowing the run to count.
Seeds pitched a mastery game, holding
the visitors down to six hits and striking
out ten men. He was supported excel
lently by catcher Green, but poorly by
the balance of the team at critical points.
the short stop, did some good field
and hitting.
Cook, of last years Bordentown club,
occupied the box for Florence. Mount
Holly got ten hits off his delivery and he
gave two bases on balls. He struck out
five hands.

PALMYRA Z. DELANoo 0.

The game at Delanco was a surprise to
many persons, as it was thought it would
be a close contest, but it resulted in a
shut-out for the home team. Delanco
batted fairly well, but the hits came at
the wrong time. Rush, Palmyra's pitch
er. was steady and effective.
