After somewhat of a contest the
question of who shall be Prosecutor of the
Pleas for Burlington county. was settled
this morning by Governor VOORHEES,, who
gave the prize to Samuel A. Atkinson, of
this town. The Governor is to be con-
graduated upon his choice, and he may
rest assured that he has not made any
mistake. The nomination of Mr.. Atkin-
son is the recognition of an honest man,
one who has by his own efforts and by
earnest application to his profession, plac-
ed himself in a position worthy to be con-
sidered for the Office to which he has been
named His ability to fill it is beyond
doubt. In politics he has always been a
hard working Republican, ever looking
for the interest of his party rather than
personal advancement. He is not what
may be termed "a politicians candidate, =
but the choice of the people of Burling-
ton county. Had there been an election
in this case Samuel A. Atkinson would
have distanced all competitors by large
vote. While there were other candidates
considered by Governor VOORHEES,, he may
rest assured that his selection in this in
stance will receive the stamp of approval
from all sections of the county. The
News congratulates Prosecutor Atkinson
upon his good fortune, and it also con-
graduates Governor VOORHEES, for the
wise solution of what has been knotty
problem, one which he has in reality been
compelled to settle alone, having no Sen
ator to aid him and with the Assembly
men divided. But he has not made any
mistake

More than ordinary interest was mani.
Tested in the sale of property by the
Sheriff on Saturday, owing to the fact that
the Birmingham Inn was to be offered
Before the property was put up Anthony
j. Morris, owner of the mill at Pemberton,
called attention to the custom that had
always prevailed allowing the water in
the creek at Pemberton to be raised and
lowered to meet the requirements of the
mill. He hoped the purchaser of the
Birmingham property would bear this
matter in mind.
| Deputy Sheriff Doughty then read the
description of the property. 1t was
divided into two parts. One contained
the Inn, furniture, laundry, stable, ice
house and five and half acres of land on
the island Tract No. 2 took in the land
outside of the island.
The latter part was offered first Judge
Gaskill, representing the Camden Safe
Deposit Company, asked that the property
be sold in two parts first, then as whole,
and that was the way it was done.
No. 2 reached bid of 81, 100, the Inn
getting up to 81, 900. Then the property
was put up as whole, and was sold for
$13, 500 The purchasers were the a. B.
Smith Machine Company and Murrell
Dobbins
This property originally cost $4,000,
the Inn and furniture costing $4,000 ad-
ditional The stockholders who aided the
enterprise have long since given up the
idea of ever realizing anything on their
investment The stockholders will get
about go per cent of their holdings but
will lose the interest. After the sale it
was announced that the Inn was offered
at private sale. The Smith Machine Com
pany purchased its interest in order to
control the water

provisions in this city, was about to drive
across the railroad when he saw young
lad tagging train whereupon he stopped
A freight which was drilling at the station
passed at this time and the lad dropped

of his young companions. Mr. Long

terrific speed and in few seconds woult

crushing out two lives. With that powe
of action that no man can describe onl.
when he is in such dangerous position
he ierked the horse around and the fas
express steamed by within few feet o

Burglars at Moore.town.

The boldness and persistence with which
gang of burglars is successfully operat-
L ing at Moorestown is alarming the resi-
dents Notwithstanding the employment
of force of private watchmen, by the

notonous frequency. One night last week

the rear of the house. In the deep shad-
ow were two men watching the house,
and she almost ran into them. One OF
the men made grab at her, but, escap-
ing his clutches, she ran for the house
The other man threw a jimmy and
struck her in the back of the head. She
managed, however, to reach the house,
gave an alarm, and then fell in faint.
Mrs. Perkins is the widow of the late Ed
ward II. Perkins, and lives with hel
daughter in one of the fine residences be-
low West Moorestown. Several attempts
have been made to rob her house, but hel
ready use of a pistol each time frustrated
the attempt.

New Jersey Doctors.

NOW OOGHoI 4@UCSOEbs
Writing for the Trenton Times, Francis
B. Lee, of that city, says:
For many a long year two of the three
great learned professions in New Jersey
have endeavored to successfully perpet.
uate organizations whose membership
should embrace men of prominence from
Sussex to Cape May State Bar Associa-
lions and State ministerial unions have
met untimely deaths, but it has remained
for the physicians to sustain a medical
society which has had history embrac-
ing period of 1873 years
The New Jersey State Medical Society
was organized in June, 1865, the first
meeting being held in the city of New
Brunswick, and with the exception Of a
period during the war of Revolution from
1775 to 1881 the society has had an I'M
interrupted existence
The circumstances which called the or
ganization into being were practically of
two classes-the one whereby reputable
physicians sought protection from charla-
tans. the other being of an educational
nature, for in such a society the members
could assemble for an exchange of views,
hear papers read and obtain access to re-
cent publications. most worthy motive
when one considers how far New Jersey
was from. the printing presses, schools
and hospitals of London, Paris and other
European centres.
The allusion to charlatanism as a mo-
tive for the organization of the State
Medical Society suggests a frightful evil
which existed during the provincial Pc
Rod. The colony was overrun with un-
scrupulous men, who, taking advantage
of confding ignorance, found it profitable
to wreck the healths of their victims. At
wayside taverns, on market days in the
towns, whenever a crowd could be
gathered, the vendors of drugs and nos
trums pulled teeth, set bones, removed CD
cataracts and in thousand and one ways
profited by human ills and ailments. In
their wake lay their victims-men and
women salivated, crippled, lame and blind,
with no hope of securing redress. timer
ant doctors are plenty now, but in
colonial times their name was legion.
To the credit of the youthful society is
to be said that it dealt promptly with
such vicious criminals. 1t was long
fight. Although the people were imposed
upon and knew it they still supported the
charlatan, who attracted them by his
sleight-of hand exhibitions, his fluent dog
Latin and his marvellous self assurances.
Right triumphed at last, and the State
Medical Society enjoys the reputation OF
knowing that while it has much TO COM
bat, it has accomplished even more in the
breaking down of the horrors of the past.
