RT SEEMS hardly credible that China

Wife and Baby Mis.ing.

The wife and infant child of John Ady-
lotte, painter residing at Five Points, a
small settlement about five miles back
from Palmyra, have been missing since
Tuesday. Adylotte and his wife have
lived unhappily. Two years ago Mrs.
Adylotte had her husband arrested for
cruelty to herself and children, and under
this charge he was convicted, but needing
petitions presented the Judge suspended
sentence and the fellow went unpublished.
The couple seemed to get along well
for time, but the old sores soon broke
out afresh and it is reported Adylottee
beat his wife the night before she left.
When he returned from work the next
evening he found. his wife and child gone.
A search was at once instituted and
along the Peasauken creek, shortsdis
lance from the house, was found the empty
baby coach and some wearing apparel be-
longing to the woman Graphing parties

have been unsuccessful.
Adylotte claims that there are two sides
to the story, and that his wife at times
provoked him beyond endurance, and he
is under the impression that she has gone
to some of her friends or relatives, who
are hiding her, and that she left the coach
and clothes along the creek for ruse.
The day before she disappeared Mrs.
Adylotte told Miss Mckay, of ROLAND
street, Palmyra, that she was going to kill
herself Her husband believes that she is
alive and says he intends to institute pro-
ceedings for divorce.

TWO Rovs Drownad.

| A double drowning occurred at Riverton
Saturday, and there is deep sorrow in two
Philadelphia homes in consequence. The
victims are John J. Ryan, aged 10 years,
and John Michael Kelley, 9 years old
The boys left their homes a few days
ago in company with their mothers, to
take advantage of two weeks vacation
given by the Children's Summer Home of
Cinnaminson. Saturday morning, in com
pany with eighteen other children from
the home, under the care of two of the
matrons, Miss Clara Hannum and Miss
Mary Wiley, they went to the borough to
spend few hours on the banks of the
Delaware River.
While on their way to the river the
matrons stopped at the store to order
some goods to be sent to the home, leav-
ing the children outside. They were only
in the store few moments, but when
they came out two of the boys were miss
ing. Thinking they would find them at
the river bank they proceeded there, but
the boys were nowhere in sight Nothing
was thought of this at the time, as some
of the childreny have frequently run off
and returned to the home when out on
pleasure trip of this kind.
When the matr ons got back and found
that the boys had not returned to the home
they became greatly alarmed, and one of
the men employees was sent back to look
for them. Although search of the river
shore and town was made no tidings could
be had of the missing boys until late in
the afternoon.
When the tide, which in the morning
was high against the stone wall, had re-
coded, some boys playing on the Riverton
Yacht Club pier saw part of an arm and
leg sticking out of the water. Two of
the boys, Willie Lanigan and Clarence
Lee, were soon in the water and carried
the bodies, which were sticking in the
mud, ashore. The boys were lying very
near each other, one on his side and the
other face downwards From the positions
of the bodies it is supposed that one of
the boys fell into the water and had got
ten out beyond his depth, when the other
lad went to his assistance, and both were
drowned.
Between ten and fifteen hundred child
rem have been cared for at the home since
it's institution, eight years ago, and this is
the first fatal accident that has occurred.

Receiver Asked For.

A unique occasion for the appointment
of receiver for an insolvent corporation
has arisen in the affairs of the Vacuum
Gas Engine, Power and Machine Com
pany A receiver has been asked for,
among other things, to enable the com
pany to move it's effects out of its old
! building.
The application was made by Lawyer
S. Conrad Oft on behalf of Thomas Small,
the general manager and a-heavy stock.
holder in the company. Vice Chancellor
Grey has allowed an order to show cause
why a receiver should not be appointed,
which at the same time restraints the COM
pany from transacting any business until
the application is disposed of.
The bill of complaint places the liabil-
tiles of the concern at $40, 900 and the as
sets at less than $4,000. The treasurer
has but little trouble caring for the funds,
as the papers show but three dollars in the
treasury. The company rented the Ris-
don works, on Church street, from Mrs.
Josephine Risdon at $500 year. This
was in January, 1898. and no rent has
been paid on this contract. Mrs. Risdon
recently sold the building to the John W.
Taylor Manufacturing Company, but the
Vacuum Company's machinery, engines
and several tons of iron still remain there.

is for receiver to take the things away
and dispose of them. This will suit all

Death of Judge Lippincott.

Supreme Court Justice Job H. Lippin-
colt, of New Jersey, died suddenly Thurs
day afternoon at his home, Jersey City
Heights, from heart trouble.
Justice Lippincott was taken i'll at s
o'clock in the morning, just as he was
about to take the train for Trenton.
1t was at once seen that his condition
was serious and word was sent to his wife
and son Herbert, who were at Vincen-
town.
The justice began to show signs of i'm
provement and was walking across a room
at his home when he fell to the floor. An
aged servant who was with him picked
him up and placed him on the bed and
summoned two physicians, who told him
the end was near.
81 am ready to go now" said the
Justice. st is only for the sake of others
that care to live"
Justice Lippincott was born November
10Th, 1912, near Mount Holly. He was
reared on his fathers farm at Vincentown,
and received a common school education.
When IS years of age he attended a
private academy in Vincentown for one
year, and then went to the Mount Holly
Institute under tuition of the late Rev.
Samuel Aaron, where he remained for
about year. He began the study of law
with Evan Merritt, at Mount Holly, in
January, 1868, and afterwards went to the
Harvard University Law School, whence
he was graduated in July, 1865. In Feb
ruary, 1857, he was admitted to the bar of
New Jersey.
| In May the same year he opened law
Office in what was then the city of Hudson,
now part of Jersey City. His quality
was soon recognized, and in 1868 he was
elected member of the Board of Educa-
ton of Hudson, and served in that
capacity, and as President of the Board,
until 1871, when the consolidation of Hud
son and Bergen with Jersey City took
place.
Judge Lippincott had been greatly
agitated last week by the refusal of the
Grand Jury to find indictments against
gamblers against whom the evidence, it is
claimed, was clear. 1t is a singular CO.
incidence that Judge Knapp, who pre-
ceded Judge Lippincott on the bench, also
died after repeatedly urging the Grand
Jury to do its duty. Judge Knapp died
on the bench January 26, 1892, of
apoplexy while he was begging the Grand
Jury to indict violators Of the Sunday
law.
Judge Lippincott won fame in 1890 by
the fearless manner in which he pursued
the Democratic ballot box suffers, nearly
hundred of whom he sent to prison for
frauds in Hudson county. He was an in
dependent Democrat and was iercely an
tagonized by the local Democratic ma
chine. Before he became Justice he was
counsel to the Board of Freeholders and
Judge of the Hudson County Court and
United States District Attorney.
Funeral services were read at the home
of deceased, in Jersey City, on Saturday
evening. The remains were brought to
Mount Holly on Sunday and inferred in
the Mount Holly cemetery.

On the testimony of Sheriff Fenton, on
Saturday, John Robinson, prisoner con-
fined in the jail, was declared to be lun-
attic, and Judge Gaskill committed him to
the state asylum. This is the man who
created scene on the trolley car while
being brought here from Bordentown.
Henry Jones, colored, was brought into
court, and he took seat by the side of
his counsel, William A. Slaughter. The
prisoner had pleaded guilty to taking a
horse and wagon from George B. Plaskett,
farmer at Hartford. Judge Gaskill took
testimony to ascertain if it was case OF
horse stealing, so that he might be guided
in passing sentence.
Mr.. Plaskett told how his horse had
been stolen, which was subsequently
found in the possession of Henry Jones al

Celebrating the Fourth.

The celebration of Fourth of July was
begun early Tuesday evening by young
America of the town, and all night long
the sounds of fire crackers under tin pans
at almost every street corner, punctured
by the roar of small cannon and the bark
ing revolver made sleep almost impossible
for those residing in the central portion of
the town.
At daybreak the large twelve pound
cannon in the Court House yard roared
out salute and during the day salute
was fired every hour Extra precaution
was taken by the police to prevent the
ringing of the fire bells and they were
successful in their attempt
The parade started at 10. 80 headed by
the police and Phillips band of Burling-
ton. In the procession was Company E,
in command of Lieutenant John @. Sims,
Jr.; Gen. Joe Hooker Camp, Sons of Vet
Grams; Gen. A. E. Shiras Post, No 26, G.
A R.; Washington Council, No. 10, o. U.
A. M; Pocahontas Tribe, No IS, /. o. r.
NJ; and the apparatus of the Mount Holly
fire department. The parade formed at
the Court House and passed through the
principal streets.
Phillips orchestra furnished music for
dancing in the Court House yard in the
afternoon, but the attendance was very
small, the crowd all being at the fair
grounds. There was lerge crowd pres
ent in the evening to enjoy the dancing
which continued until midnight.
A shower early in the afternoon
threatened the sports at the fair grounds,
but soon passed over. Despite the rain
there were 1856 paid admissions to the
grounds, which was an increase of about
80 over Memorial day. The racing was
interesting but each event was captured
in straight heats. 1t was evident that
base ball was again the main attraction
for the crowd. The summary of the races
follows:
