On Tuesday jury was empanneled to
try the Indictment against Charles Perrine
for breaking into the Pennsylvania rail-
road station at Pemberton, and stealing a
jug of whiskey which had been consigned
to man who refused to receive it. The
liquor was left in the station and Perrine
broke into the building and appropriated
the contents of the jug.
The robbery occurred on the eighth of
February. The whiskey was consigned
he refused to receive it on the ground that
he had not ordered it. When the station
agent went to the place next morning
after the robbery, blood stains were found
on the window frame. Suspicion rested
on Perrine. He went to the station in
the morning, when it was noticed that he
had cut on his hand. He was very
drunk and had bottle of whiskey in his
pocket The jug in which the whiskey
was shipped was found near New Lisbon
and there was evidence to show that the
defendant had been there after the rob-
berry.
Jacob c. Hendrickson conducted the de-
fence and made general denial of the ac-
cusation. Testimony was given to show
that defendant had scratches on his hands
the day prior to the robbery. Evidence
was also produced to show that the de-
PENDANT had always been man of good
repute with an unimpeached reputation
for honesty.
The jury returned verdict of not guilty.

people indicted for the theft. The de-
fence showed that Lizzie worked for
Haines She had little daughter who
she boarded at the home of the Clines

in these houses, but the defendants claim

NOTES.


Bordentown at Mount Holly next Satnr
day.
Queen has been released and Eberhart
has been signed.
Fischman is certainly conner. He is
a mere boy, not over II years of age.
Some of the score keepers are very dill
atory in sending scores to the secretary of
the league.
Playing for the grand stand is all right,
possibly, but playing for the benefit of
the team is more to the point.
| Bob Black was cordially received by the
spectators. His left arm is still good as
several of the opposing batsmen dis
covered, but his team did not support
him.
| Eberhart, Mount Holly's pitcher, m ade
quite record in the game on Wednesday.
He retired the side on five pitched balls in
one inning and in another he put three
men out on three pitched balls.
If Lynch, of the Burlington team,
would play more with his head and less
with his mouth he might amount to some
thing. Tearing around field like a mad
bull does not accomplish anything, but
dropping fly balls which come squarely
into the hand, and collisions with another
player who might have caught the ball,
are very costly.
Queen must have soon had change of
heart, or else he discovered that the
chances for getting his salary were better
at Mount Holly than at Newark, for he
wrote on Wednesday morning that he
would come to Mount Holly if needed.
Other arrangements had been made and
he was allowed to stay home.
That there is more interest in base ball
than in horse racing was plainly shown
on Decoration day. When the ball game
began the crowd focked to the dia-
mond, leaving barely two hundred in the
racing stand When it is remembered
that the number of people present was
1900 this incident speaks for itself.
i Queen, Mount Holly's pitcher, wrote
that he was going to join the Newark
team. The letter reached here at nine
o'clock Tuesday morning. With game
scheduled for next day. and probability
that good pitchers would all be engaged

costly.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
if you want to get well and stay well.
Most likely it's indigestion. The irritat-
ing poisons Of fermenting, putrid food
left in the stomach by indigestion, cause
headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi-
ness stomachache, nausea, irritability,
and all the other well-known symptoms of
indigestion.
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 Di-
gestive Cordial, because it prevents the
undigested food from fermenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to digest
its food Sold by druggists, price 1O
cents to $1.OO per bottle.

it's first spring meeting at the fair grounds
Wednesday afternoon and proved great
success. The weather was fine and con-

the number of paid admissions being

game constituted the attractions. The re-
suit of the races was as follows

The base ball game was between Mount
Holly and "Bob" Blacks team of Cam
den and was a good game throughout.
Eberhart was in the box for the home
team and pitched good steady game.
Perkins kept up'h his reputation for home
runs and drove one of Blacks curves over
the trees to the race track. Kingdom made
some difficult catches in centre and made
a timely hit in the second inning that
brought in two runs. The score:

Several months ago leak occurred in
the gas main running through Broad
street. between Buttonwood and Cherry
streets. A number of shade trees and con-
siderable shrubbery in that vicinity died
from the effects of the escaping gas. A
number of good wells of water on Union
and Cherry streets at that time became SC
saturated with gas that the water was un
fit for USE Within the past few weeks
other wells on Union street, near the place
of the previous trouble, have also become
unfit for use, and it is a question whether
another leakage has not occurred in thu
Broad street pipe, as no trace of gas ha:
heretofore been detected in these wells.
