In Her New Home.

The New York Telegraph, Of July 4,
contains the following with reference to
the couple who have recently given this
neighborhood food for talk:
Harrie Allen Baxter, the Claude Mel
notte of Great Neck, L. L., yesterday re-
turned to his ancestral hall with his fair
Young bride of Mount Holly, N. j.
This modern version of ''The Lady of
LYONS" has received much attention from
the folk of Mount Holly of late Young
Baxter, it will be remembered, created
something of a sensation in the little Jer-
sew town by appearing there in the guise
of rich young clubman of New York.
He laid siege to the heart of the daughter
of Judge Wills, one of the influential
men of the village, and captured her maid
en- affections.
The Young men of the town were deep
lv aegrieved, and they were further in
censed when they learned that Judge
Wills disapproved of the attentions of
Baxter, but that the latter had apparently
hypnotized his motherin- law be and
had so won her to his cause that she lent
him money and permitted him to stay at
the Wills home as long as he pleased.
The tragic element of this romance de-
veloped when Baxter was ordered from
the house by Judge Wills and retaliated
by drawing pistol on the father OF his
sweetheart.
After Baxter was released from Jail,
he married Miss Wills and went on a we'd
DING tour. He took his bride home yes
terday to the house of his mother, several
miles from Great Neck.
1t was a great day for Great Neck. All
the village folk are familiar with the de-
tails of the Baxter romance, and they
turned out in force to greet Baxter and
his bride.
It is a long drive from Great Neck to
the Raxter homestead and it is hardly
worth the trouble In Mount Holly Miss
Wills was housed in handsome building,
and fitted with what the real estate agents
DESIGNATE as a. m. i.-all modern improve
ments.
The house to which she was taken in
Long Island does not answer this de-
scription. 1t is set down in the middle OF
a big bare field, bare of everything but
tall grass and daisies. 1t is low, squat,
wooden building, old and weather beaten.
Its last coat of paint has been blistered by
MANY suns and washed by many rains and
SHOWS, and but little is left to show that
it has ever felt the soft caressing touch OF
There is nothing to shelter it from the
crumbling hand of time. No trees shade
it. No caves protect its bare face. No
porch invites an approach to the square
door, punched in severe nicely exactly in
the middle of it's fiat length. There are
no signs of life about it. No birds sing
there.
This is the castle at Lake Como to which
the Jersey Lady of Lyons has been taken
She was received by Baxters Woodworking
old mother and shown to her room in the
attic.
Just how long she will stand it is mat
ter which is engaging the attention OF the
gambling folk of Great Neck, who are lay
ing wagers on the length OF time Mrs
Harrie Allen Baxter will remain with
them.

Severe Electrical Storm.

Mount Holly was visited by a thunder
storm Wednesday evening that gave the
people pretty bad scare. 1t was pro-
badly mere severe in its results that any
thing of the kind experienced here for
many years. The lightning not only
caused one death, but gave number of
people an unpleasant shaking up. The
rain was welcome visitor, but the pre-
sence of the storm would have been more
highly appreciated if there had been only
water and no lightning.
Vivid flashes of lightning were Of fire.
quent occurrence, and one bolt, which
caused the death of Alice Shinn, seemed
to have effected most all the people living
on Topetoy. Many ladies in that neigh
borhood have peculiar experiences to re-
late. Mrs Benjamin Gauntt was rendered
unconscious out in her yard, where she
was found by neighbors. 1t was several
hours before she assumed her normal con-
dition.
Early in the evening there was an alarm
of fire, the trouble being at DR.. Prickitt's
drug store, where an electric light wire
had punctured hole in the gas pipe,
causing the gas to take fire. There was
large flame, but this was kept subdued by
chemical extinguisher in the hands of
Edward Reynolds, who saw the fire from
Engle's hardware store across the street,
where he is employed. This extinguisher
has only been used twice, and on both
occasions it was at fire in DR.. Prickitt's
place of business. The gas was turned
off, which ended the fire.
The lightning did not cease, and soon
reports were coming in Of other damage
done about town. Some of these sufferers
were DR.. Melcher, Frank S. Citizens, DR..
Vanderveer, and there were others where
the fluid entered their houses but did not
start fire. A tree in the Trinity bury
ing ground and one in the yard of Samuel
E. Rogers, on WOODLAND, were reduced to
splinters. The trolley cars were put out
of business and many telephones were
rendered useless, in addition to the lady
operator being knocked out of her chair.
A number of trees and buildings were
struck in the country, but fortunately a
fire did not ensue. Lightning knocked
chimney off the residence of the late
Harris Cox. At the residence of j. Shan
nan Haines, near Jacksonville, lightning
struck in the barn yard, scattering chick
ems and their coops in all directions. The
barns of Stevenson Brothers, who have
been burned out twice by lightning, were
struck but only slightly damaged.
During the shower on Wednesday even
ing the men on William B. Tomlinson's
farm took refuge under shed. Near by
was a tall maple tree, which was splint-
cred by lightning A valuable horse had
been removed from under the tree but a
few moments before the stroke descended.
During a thunder storm Friday at
Crosswicks, the spire of the Grace Epis-
copal church was struck by lightning
Co nsiderable damage was done by the
stroke but no fire resulted.

New Iersey,s Fighters.

There will shortly be issued from the
Adlutant Generals department at the
State House the most complete war
record possessed by any State in the
Union. Thirty-one years have been
spent in gathering the material neces-
sary for it, and $4,000 have been ex-
pended in making researches and on
clerical work.
The work is simply appalling in its
magnitude. In all something over
1870, 900 Jerseymen have been engaged
in the warfare at various times within
the States history and an active effort
has been made to locate the exact
record of each one. The search has been
largely successful, but there will ever re-
main several thousands of whom the
single word missing" tells the only story
that will ever be known.
OF the 100, 900 men, S,3O5 engaged in
the Civil war, and the remainder were
scattered over period dating from early
Indian troubles down to the present record
of those now engaged in the Philippines.

Killed by Lightning.

Fatal results accompanied the severe
thunder storm on Wednesday evening
While the lightning was flashing and the
thunder pealing in loud tones, Alice
Shinn, daughter of Job T. Shinn, OF Mill
street, aged nearly thirteen years. went
out of the house on an errand OF mercy.
A family that had recently moved away
left a pet cat 1t had received no attention
for two or three days, and Alice's sympa-
thies were aroused as the storm ap-
preached. She obtained the feline and
took it to the residence of her aunt, but
as the latter did not want it, the little
girl started back home On the way
Alice was stopped by George Bothner
who was leaning over the fence in the rear
of his yard. With Alice was an Italian
girl, aged eight years, named Mile
Scorgo. "Give me the cat, said Bothner
land YOU run home as it is going to rain
hard" Alice was about to pass the
animal over the fence when a bolt OF
lightning came down and struck her on
the head. The electric fluid passed
I
through her body and out of her left foot,
cutting off her shoe as though with
sharp knife. Bothner and Mile were
both rendered unconscious. When the
former came to he called for Jesse
Streaker. The latter ran over from his
house and found Alice lying on her back
with her arms outstretched, and Mile
about recovering. As soon as she came
to she tried in vain to arouse her com
panion. When the condition of her foot
was discovered it was then seen that the
little girl was dead. She was carried
home after her father had been summoned.
Alice was bright child and great help
to her mother, who became Frustrated
over the sad affair. She was member OF
St. Andrews Sunday School and attended
the public school. The remains were
buried on Saturday afternoon in the
Mount Holly cemetery.

Struck Jury for Murder Case.

Judges Garrison and Gaskill were at
the court house on Saturday to draw a
jury to try John Young for the murder of
Washington Hunter.
The prisoner was brought into court
Before proceeding with the drawing
Judge Garrison asked counsel if they
proposed to enter objections if the pro-
ceedings were compelled to go over until
afternoon, thus taking portion of legal
holiday. Ex-Prosecutor Budd replied that
he had not considered that point as he had
not expected that the drawing would be
done on Saturday. 1t would be necessary
for him and Mr. Chambers to examine the
list in order that they might make objec-
tons intelligently. 1t would be farce
to attempt to go ahead without ample OPP
portunity to thoroughly scan the list.
Under the law the court has discretion to
allow time for this procedure, the limit
being ten days
Judge Garrison plainly said he did not
propose to give any such length of time.
If such action were taken the case would
drag along into the next term. The OBJ
ject of granting this order for struck
jury was to bring the case to speedy
trial. He then suggested that Monday be
agreed upon, but this did not suit Mr..
Budd, who said he could not possibly get
the information desired in that time
Several other days were mentioned and
during the discussion the list drawn by
the sheriff was shown to counsel. After
scanning it Mr.. Budd made the remark
that it seemed to be made up mainly of
politicians and ward heelers
Wednesday was suggested, and Pros
ecutor Atkinson said he would rather have
Tuesday set as he had made arrangements
for pleasure trip that day. This did
not suit Mr.. Budd, however, and the mat
ter was finally settled by Mr.. Atkinson
agreeing to cancel his trip and attend to
business. So the jury will be named to-
morrow morning unless there are more
exceptions on points similar to that which
caused the present situation. The names
selected by the court from which the jury

REDUCING THE FORCE.
Problem Confronting the Internal
Revenue Bureau.

The officials of the internal revenue bu-
reau are confronted with the problem of
reducing the force of the service, both in
the field and in Washington. The revenue
reductions act, which will go into effect
July l next, will reduce the receipts of the
government, it is estimated, by about S4O,-
100000, and in consequence of this the ap-
preparation for the collection of the rev
enues cut down 100000.
This large decrease will necessitate the
dismissal of a considerable number of
clerks employed in the bureau here, as well
as those in the several collection offices
throughout the country. and at this time
the commissioner is making a critical ex-
animation into the work of each collection
district with view to dispensing with the
services of all employees not absolutely in
dispensable to the collection of the rev.
enues. Office expenses will also be cut
down where possible.
