Scrofula in the blood shows itself sooner
or later in swellings, sores, eruptions. But
Hoods Sarsaparilla completely cures it.
Murderouslx Assaulted.

While on his way to maket with a load of cab
bage on Thursday morning, George, the 2o-year.old
son of William John Mcgowan a well known
Moorestown farmer was shot in the head and pro-
baby fatally wounded by Samuel McKim color
ed about the same age. son of Alexander Nc
Kim of Moorestown The injured man was taken
to the Cooper hospital at Camden. where his wound
was dressed, but there is hardly chance of his
recovery.
The story of the tragedy as near can be as
certained is as follows: Mcgowan was on the way
TO Philadelphia with his team at II O'Clock in the
morning, and just over the line in Camden county
met McKim coming in the opposite direction The
latter was in the employ of Wilmer Collins. and
had disposed of his load and was coming home
empty He and Mcgowan reported to have
had previous disagreement and he ordered Ma
gowan to turn out for him. The latter refused to
do so as his team was loaded, and wrangle &C.
CURED tn the midst of which McKim drew a re-
volver from his pocket and shot Mcgowan, the
bullet striking him just above the mouth, and he
fell backward on the seat.
Several persons rushed forward to interfere, but
the desperate pointed the weapon at them and
threatened to Kill the first man that interfered,
but one of them nocked the revolver from his
hand wl1ereupon he jumped from the wagon and
fed to the woods. The alarm was promptly given
and Chief of Police Linderman, of Merchantville
with posse of men secured thu country until they
came up with McKim in a clump of woods near
The scene of the murder of Mrs. Miller by Lingo.
He made desperate attempt to beat them off,
fighting like 1eud they closed in on him, but
they finally dubbed him into subsection, put the
handouts on him and by three O'Clock he was a
prisoner in the Jail at Camden. He bears bad
reputation and was only short time ago released
When the news of the shooting was received at
Moorestown large crowd gathered and the ex-
element was intense. Had the prisoner been
brought there he would have been roughly hand
led in all probability, as many made threats OF
lynching him.
Geore Mcgowan, the injured man, is peaceable
and industrious and has always borne good re-
putation. Owing to the nature of the wound no
attempt can be made to probe for the bullet.

Blanche Walsh scored an emphatic hit
at the Broadway theatre, New York, last
week, in her romantic historical play,
''Marcelle,' % written by Eugene w. Pres
brey Joseph Brooks and Ben Stern, her
managers, provided display of scenery
and costumes exceedingly beautiful. The
story of the play is founded on facts from
French Canadian history. The action be-
gins in France and ends in Canada at the
fall of Quebec. The dramatic interest
centres in a lovely and loyal Huguenot
maiden, who is desperately loved and pur
sued by rival lovers, French and English.
The Frenchman is an aristocrat and is
commissioned to go to Canada to plot
against the English. He incites an at
tack on her people that he may seize her
defeats this plot and makes a captive of
his treacherous rival. The latter stirring
incident occurs at sea and leads to the
introduction of the great ship scene, the
most beautiful marine picture ever ex-
hibited on Broadway stage. The float
ing vessel, to which the heroine is taken
for forcible conveyance to Quebec and to
which the wounded hero swims, capturing
the villain, is marvellous piece of stage
realism. The stage settings are elaborate
and especially handsome and novel
Broadway has had many imposing ex-
hibits of this kind during the present sea-
son of notable theatrical successes but to
''Marce1le,'' and Messrs. Brooks and /
Stems enterprise, belongs easily the
greatest credit for splendid and tasteful
stage settings The scenes of the last two
acts, laid in Quebec, are replete with |
dramatic interest, the play ending with an
explosion that kills the villain and leaves |
the hero and heroine alive and happy. |
Miss Walsh's success was a distinct per-
sona1 triumph. Her company was ad- |
mirably chosen and kept the performance |
up to the high artistic level of the stars |
Joseph Kilgour, Harold
Russell. Frank Sheridan, Frederick Perry, |
Emma Madden and Katherine Clinton |
which means a company not only large
but unusually capable. The engagement |
at the Broadway theatre will run four |
weeks with Wednesday and Saturday |
matinees.
Henry Lee will remain for another
week at Keiths, presenting his remarkable
representations of prominent personages. |
Perhaps on no two days this week will the
same series be given. All his portraits are
full length and demand alteration from
ueaQ TO IOOt ne Changes never take
more than minute and half to effect, |
and one of them is achieved in less than
half minute. While Mr.. Lees act is
show in itself, there will be fourteen other
specialties that would constitute an un-
usually strong variety bill. Melville and
Stetson are two of the funniest women on
the boards. Many declare that EVE Stet-
son is the equal of May Irwin or Marie
Dressler. Flo Irwin, who used to share
the honors with May Irwin in new
vaudeville sketch, is to present ''The Gay
Miss CON-" one of the funniest musical
farces ever seen here. Clever Walter Hsw-
ley will again be seen in this piece. The
Brothers Roscary, who appeared for the
first time in Philadelphia yesterday, are
acrobats whose feats amaze members of
local gymnasiums.

Trinity Church TO Close.

Prof. A. D. Heffern, Of the Philadel-
phia Divinity School, will oficiate in
Trinity Church, Mount Holly, next Sun
day morning and evening, and this will
be the last time that services will be held
there.
dens and vestrymen of Trinity Church be-
lieying that for the good of the Church
generally and in Mount Holly in particu-
lar there should be but one Protestant
Episcopal Church and one united effort by
all of her faith and communion to make
the Church as strong as possible in this
community. Trinity parish being with
out rector it was deemed best to bring
about this desirable result now.
Trinity Church was built in 1859. 1t
was at one time a strong parish, but
deaths and removals have made many
changes and weakened its membership.
As st. Andrews is the mother Church it
seemed right and proper that it should re-
ceive the united support of all the Epis
copalians in this community.
The corporation of Trinity Church will
be kept intact for the present so that its
affairs can be settled and its assets dis
posed of, but the individual members
will soon become identified with st. An
drew's.
The first service of Trinity Church was
held in the Court House on Sunday morn
ing, July 8, 1859. Rev. w. Fl. Carol,
then rector at Crosswicks, oficiated. The
Church was formally organized July 10,
1859.
Services were continued in the Court
House until the church building on
Washington street was completed. The
first service was held there March II, 1860.
The corner stone was laid July IS, 1859,
by Rev. Henry Brown, of Beverly. The
Church was consecrated March IS, 1860,
by Bishop Odenheimer.
The first rector was Rev. Dewitt G.
Byllesby, who took charge October 8,
1869, and resigned February 7, 1871.
Rev. G. Albert Reddles was called
March IS, 1871; resigned April IL, 1874.

Rev. William Hudson Burr was called
October 1, 1887; resigned September 80,
1888.
Rev. Martin Aigner was called February
16, 1890; resigned September II, 1900
Among the men who built and organ
lied this church were Charles Bispham,

Mr.. Lewis, the present senior warden, is
the only one surviving of the original YES
try, and the only surviving male COM
municant who was identified with the
church at it's beginning.

AS politician Mr. Bryan has become
more guileful. In 1896 hewas on higher
plane than he is now. Then he was
bound to speak what he deemed the truth,
regardless of the consequences. In New
York on Tuesday night he had not a word
to say about the darling of his heart, free
coinage of silver at 16 to 1. Four years
ago he would rather have formally handed
New York over to the enemy than have
sat cheek by jowl at dinner with Boss
Croker, into whose hands on this visit he.
placed himself unreservedly. Mr. Bryan
has arrived at the point where he would
rather be President than be right. He is
willing to do everything he thinks it
necessary to do in order to win
But he will not win. In our opinion
Mr. Bryan has not one chance in a hun
dred of being elected.
