struok Hind ON Train.

Richard r. Lippincott, of Rancocas,
met with a terrible affection yesterday
He was ON train coming from Asbury
Park, and when near Freehold noticed
that something was the matter with his
eyes. Mr.. Lippincott is about go years
of age, hale and hearty, and his atfliction
is very severe. His business is that OF
travelling salesman for Krause, Ingham &
Hester, wholesale grocers in Philadel
phia.
Mr.. Lippincott was reading in the smok-
ing car, when, as his eye ran from one
line to another, the light failed and he
found himself plunged in impenetrable
darkness.
The stricken man suddenly cried out
that all was dark, and appealed to those
near him to tell what had happened. His
fellow passengers told him that the sur
was still shining brightly. Then he
shrieked in anguish: my God, an
blindl'
His agony was pitiable as he fell bach
in his seat moaning and passing his sight
less eyes, saying: II am blind. | woulC
rather have been stricken dead"
When the train stopped at Freehold sew
eral passengers assisted the sightless mar
to carriage, in which he was taken tC
the hotel. There local physicians were
unable to afford any relief. There wa!
no alteration in the appearance of thu
eyes. Last ght he was in Philadelphia
under the treatment of specialists Fear
are entertained that he will never recove
his sight

Vesper Voices.

The above is the title of neat little
volume of poems by Mrs. Anna Perkins
Ford, who formerly resided at Asbury
Park, but is now living at Binghampton,
N. Y. In her Introductory Mrs. Ford re-
fers to another book she published and
says: "Vesper Voices in miscellaneous
poems is offered in the same spirit. Sin
cere has been the desire in later years to
express sympathy and encouragement for
those who are in the struggle for life and
who are now bearing the burden and heat
of the day also to cheer and comfort
many sorrowing heart, and awaken and
increase in children all that is good and
beautiful" Fl
The little volume will certainly bring
cheer and comfort to those who read it,
for it is bright book, full of sunshine
1t will make a beautiful holiday gift.
The author does not offer it in order that
she may become pecuniarily benefited,
as she devotes the proceeds from its sale
to missionary purposes, in which work
she is deeply interested. The book is fol
sale at Miss L. G. Jamison's store, and the
price is $3.50.

The commissioners appointed recently by
Judge Gaskill to examine the Centreton
turnpike met on Saturday and went over
the road. About three weeks ago the
Turnpike company began suit against
Uriah Funk to collect toll which they
claimed was due them.
Funk had been using the turnpike be-
tween Rancocas and Centreton, turning
into the road leading to the phosphorus
works. As this turn was made before the
toll house was reached, Funk escaped pay
ing toll. At first the company placed a
man at the bridge and collected toll as
Funk left the bridge, but they soon aban-
doned that plan and charged the toll up
to his account, and then sent him bill,
and upon his refusal to pay sued him.
Owing to the illness of one of the princi-
pal witnesses for the company the suit
was abandoned. Then several of those
who travel over the road petitioned the
court to appoint commissioners to ascer-
tain whether the road was, under the law,
tollable.
The statute provides that the road must
be at least thirty feet wide in the middle,
sufficiently arched and drained to make
and keep the same dry, and at least six
teen feet shall be sufficiently bedded with
stone, plank or gravel to make good and
firm road.
The commissioners went to Rancocas
and drove from there to Centreton They
found the road from the village to the
Friends burial ground less than a mile,
was all right so far as width was concern
ed, but there were several places where
the arching was not as required to proper
ly drain. The gravel on the road was no
thing more than sand From the burial
ground to the bridge, all the legal require
ments had been adhered to, save the
width of the road Here the turnpike is
about twenty-five feet wide from railing
to railing This makes it exceedingly in
convenient for two loaded teams to past
From Centreton to the road from Mount
Holly to Moorestown, at the railroad
crossing, the turnpike is in miserable
shape. The bed is nothing but sand the
entire distance, and in many places the
width does not exceed fifteen feet.
From Masonville to Centreton the road
is quite wide and the part graveled is as
the statute requires as to grading and
graveling, but the material used is miser-
able, and there is but little of the road
that can be said to comply with the law
After making careful examination the
commissioners decided to report the road
is not in the shape required by law

j. Holmes Longstreet, of Bordentown,
asked for information how a stone road is
10 be rolled. The road between Borden
town and Georgetown is sadly in need of
the roller. The contractor has been mott
fed, but had failed to respond.
Mr.. Tallman suggested that the Shan
leys, who built the road, be notified to
put it in order. If they failed to comply
with the request, let the chairman of the
committee on ithe road have the work
done and deduct the price of it from the
five per cent. due the contractor.
In accordance with this idea Mr.. Hig.
gins, member from Bordentown, was in
structed to notify the Shanleys to bring
their roller to the road within certain
time and if they failed to do as requested
to go on with the work himself and keep
the charges out of the five per cent. If
there was not sufficient, the balance could
be collected from the bond furnished by
the contractor.
DR.. Charles S. Allen, of Pemberton,
was appointed to be physician at the aims
house to fill the vacancy caused by the
removal of DR., Webb, who had gone to
Clayton.
Mr. Tallman offered resolution that
all bills for the burial of deceased soldiers
and sailors must hereafter be certified by
the resident freeholder before being acted
upon by the board.
Drs Parry and Stokes had been in at
tendance at the meeting all day, and the
impression was that they were there to
present the views of the Burlington
County Medical Society ON the question of
the site of the proposed lunatic asylum to
be built by the county, but there were
evidently some freeholders who did not
care to hear anything on the subject for
a motion to adjourn was made and rushed
through with such speed as to take ones
breath.
The following bills were ordered paid

Mr.. and Mrs Frank P. Ships gave a
progressive euchre party at their home,
on Farnsworth avenue, on Wednesday
evening, at which some thirty persons
were present.
Caleb Southland, living on farm near
the Mansfield Square, was awakened by
hearing his dogs barking, at midnight,
Thursday, and putting on his pantaloons,
slipped down stairs in his stocking feet,
got his gun, and, going out, discovered a
man in the vicinity of his poultry house.
Southland ordered him to halt or he would
shoot, but the man took to his heels across
the fields, when Southland let one barrel
drive at him, but it is thought it went
wide of its mark The man was some
fifty yards off when the gun was dis
charged after him. Some time ago thieves
stole a number of his chickens. Southland
says he is determined to break it up.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
if you want to get well and stay well
Most likely it's indigestion. The irritating
poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in
the stomach by indigestion, cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness
stomach ache, nausea, irritability, and all
the other well-known symptoms of indi-
gestion.
They also cause many pains and disor-
ders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But as
soon as the poisons are removed, all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, be-
cause there is nothing left to cause
them. Nothing succeeds in this like
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it pre-
vents the undigested food from ferment-
ing in the stomach and helps the stomach
to digest its food.

Company at Smithville. 1t proved to be
more than they could handle, so the firm
sent to Mount Holly for cartman T. La
cey Atkins to come out and move it, and
the task was only accomplished after
considerable difficulty. The machine was
taken apart. The bed, which weighed
II, 900 pounds, was placed ON Mr.. Atkins
wagon. Just then train of cars came
along and broke the tongue, which ex
tended over the track Finally start
was made, and when the wagon got on
the sandy road back of the freight sta
ton, the wheels sank in up to the hubs.
1t then became necessary to put railroad
ties under the truck and the wagon was
gotten out of it's position by the use of
jacks. 1t took several days to finish the
job, but Lacey was equal to the emergen-
cy.
John Clemens, of Conshohocken, Pa,
came to Mount Holly on Tuesday night
and was driven to Lumberton in Matthias
hack, where his father in law, William
.. pager, TISSUES. OltulcuS WAS III search
of his wife, who had left for alleged
abuse. The occupants of the house had
anticipated the husbands coming, and
they chained and barred the front door
to keep him out. This, however, proved
no barrier, as he soon effected an entrance
and then there was trouble. A fight en-.
sued, and matters became so lively that
Walter M. Voorhees, was called, and the
two men elected Clemens with some diff
fculty. Sager was struck several times
on the face and his ear was cut. The ag-
gressor then rode back to Mount Holly
In the meantime warrant was issued fol
his arrest, and Constable Parker came
here and arrested the man before he haC
time to get away on the cars. Clemens
was taken back to Lumberton, and after
being given hearing, Justice Younker
committed him to the county jail in de
fault of $500 bail. Mr.. Sager at one tim,
was freeholder from Mansfield township
and he was also former superintendent
of Lorillard's stock farm at Jobstown.

little book which will be of interest to
good many more than those TO

Aside from the programs, 1t contains
ployed in the county, with the name

interesting to note parenthetically
that the lola schools employ twenty
five teachers with an aggregate

WHO Is LENDING AID AND CON

The United States is at war with a
tribe in the Philippine Islands known
as Tagalogs. No matter now whether
that war could have been averted or
not; war exists and American soldiers
are fighting an armed enemy. Who
is the patriot, the man who throws all
his Influence in support of our own
soldiers. or the man who by criticising
and opposing the home administra-
ton leads the enemy to believe that
the war against him will soon be
stopped Read this extract from
Aguinaldo's latest proclamation:
In America there is great party that
insists upon the government recognizing
Filipino independence. That party will
compel the United states to fulhll the
promises made to us in all solempity and
good faith, though not put in writing
Therefore, we must show our gratitude and
maintain our position more resolutely than
ever. We should pray to God that the great
Democratic party may win the next Presi.
dental election aud imperialism fail in its
mad attempt to subiugate us by force Of
arms"
If the armed enemies of our country
should pray to God that the great
Democratic party may win the next
Presidential election, " what should be
the prayer Of 1.-THE patriots who want
to see American arms victorious? But
prayer, like faith, without works is
dead. The plain duty of every patriot
is to begin now to do the things which
shall make the success OF the great
Democratic party impossible. And
the first thing to do is to defeat every
county candidate whose election this
year would add strength to the Demo-
cratic campaign next year. When our
country is at peace, patriots may
honestly differ ON questions of policy:
but when our country is at war there
is only one place for all patriots, and
that is under the flag of their country.
