A Dos Causes Trouble,

Wilbur Leek, who resides with his pa.
rents on Mount Holly avenue, while al
Moorestown peddling goods with his faith
er, on Tuesday, found q stray friend in
the shape of a st. Bernard dog. Beliey-
ing from its actions that the animal was
lost, the young man told his father that
he would take it home, feed it and try to
fiud the owner by placing notice in the
post office, and with this he started on his
long walk for Mount Holly At Stanwick
some little girls became frightened at the
sight of the large dog and the boy held
it while they passed, after which he Sc
cured rope and put it around its neck.
When Hartford was reached Wilbur told
the ticket agent at the railroad station
that he had dog which he thought was
lost. ''That is valuable animal, take it
home, said the Hartford man, land you
may be able to get reward for your
trouble" The dog belonged to DR.. Thorn,
of Moorestown. When he found it was
missing he employed two men to find it,
and there was no trouble to trace it to the
county seat. In the hunt it is alleged
that there was an expense incurred of $12,
which the parents of the boy are expect
ed to pay although they are poor and I'M
able to do so. A detective came to town
and openly accused Harry Smith of steal
ing the animal Finding he was mistaken
in blasting the reputation of an innocent
man, the same officer, without a warrant,
went to the Leek home, accused the boy
of being thief, took him and the dog
to Justice Clevenger's Office, and after a
brief hearing Mr.. Leek said he would do
what he could to settle the matter.
AS the boy made public declaration at
Hartford of what he was about to do,
showing conclusively that his part in the
transaction was one of honesty, and as
the wealthy physician secured the animal,
which he values at 800, without paying
any reward for it's return, it seems the
doctor would be pursuing the proper
course, in view of all the circumstances,
if he paid the costs incurred by himself
and not saddle heavy burden on the pa
rents of the boy, when the latter was
DESTROYS of assisting the owner of the
animal W hoover he might be.

Has Had Seven Wives.

Seventy five year old Peter Joseph Cram
er. who was arrested on charge OF big
amy in Camden late on Sunday night, has
had seven matrimonial ventures, accord
ing to the wife who stands as his accuser.
The old man denies that he is a bigamist.
He saws he has had the seven wives, all
right, but that all are dead save the one
who caused his arrest.
When Cramer was arrested he had an
attack of heart trouble and was taken to
hospital He was well enough to leave
the institution yesterday, and was taken
to the office of Justice of the Peace
Schmitz, who had Endorsed the warrant
issued by Justice Zeigler, of Riverside.
There he was confronted not only by the
woman who says she is wife the seventh,
but Mrs. Margaret Moerle, of Philadel-
phia, who says that Cramer got from heI
at various times on various pretexts the
sum of 5000, and has failed to make res
titution. The aged man seemed i'll al
ease in the Court and the young woman,
who says she is his nurse, but whom the
other Mrs Cramer says is perhaps the
eighth Mrs. Cramer, paid him assiduou'
attention and seemed solicitous of his
comfort.
Cramer was married to Mrs. Minnie Gil
pin, of Bridgeboro, who is SO years old
by Justice zeigler, in Riverside, ON May
90, 1900 He then said she was his seventh
wife, the others having died. They
lived together in apparent happiness unit
several months ago, when the aged hus
band disappeared. Mrs. Cramer knew
nothing of his whereabouts until day o.
two ago, friend in Riverside got lette
from him at Vailsboro, N. j., In whicl
Cramer glowingly described the beauty o
a young wife he had just taken. Mrs
Cramer at once began the search whic
ended in Camden. Cramer was brough

Death of Benjamin F. Lee.

BENJAMIN F. Lee, cashier of the Mount
Holly National Bank, died at his home on
High street, Thursday afternoon, after an
illness of about two weeks He was taken
with bronchitis, and was apparently re-
covering from that disease, when his
heart began to show symptoms OF weak
ness. This increased and on Thursday
ended fatally. Deceased was known bet
ter as Judge Lee, title acquired by ser
vice as one of the lay judges of this
county. In 1875 he was elected sheriff on
the Democratic ticket, and soon after his
retirement from that Office he was given
the position on the bench. In both OF the
offices he acquitted himself with credit
and honor to himself and the county. AT
the time of the death of Floyd Armstrong,
cashier of the Mount Holly National
Bank, Judge Lee was a member OF the
hoard of directors of that institution. 1t
was thought advisable to go outside OF the
clerical force for a cashier and the position
was offered to Judge Lee. He accepted
and the yerv able manner in which he full
filled the trust was highly appreciated by
the directors and stockholders of the bank.
Deceased served as captain in the war OF
the rebellion. He leaves wife and son.
The funeral took place yesterday, in
terment being made in the Mount Holly
cemetery. The directors of the Mount
Holly National Bank acted as honorary
pallbearers.
At meeting of the Directors of the
Mount Holly National Bank, held on
Friday, the following resolution was
adopted;
| Resolved, That we haYe heard with deep sor-
| row OF the death OF our esteemed associate In
| the Board of Directors, Benjamin 4. Lee, al
his home in Mount Holly, on the eieventn =. Jay Y
| for 26 years, and as Cashier of the institution
for the past 10 years OF that period, his omclai
! action has been marked with ability OF hlgn
order and with great fidelity to the trusts I'M
| nosed upon him. In the death OF our late
| cashier who had served with honor In MS
| lifetime IN the office OF Sheriff OF the county
| and as one OF the Judges OF the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, we feel that we have sustained q
personal bereavement and the bank ana the
public have suffered great loss. We extend
| to the widow and family OF the deceased oui
deem sympathy in their great bereavement
| As a mark of respect we Will attenu Int
funeral In body.
| The resolutions were signed by eacE
member of the Board of Directors and
copy was ordered sent to the family O
| the deceased.

was a large fire in the cane last We'd
nesday of last week at eight miles,
caused by sparks from the locomotive,
burning over nearly four acres, but
fortunately 1t was mature cane, which
was cut at once and sent to the mill,
so there was no loss.
PUNALUU, August PA new fire
started in the cane at Kapalana at noon
today and before it could be got under
control between forty and fifty acres OF
cane were destroyed. OF this seventeen
acres belonged to a Japanese, few
acres to Honokaa Sugar Co. and the
balance to Pacific Sugar Mill. When
the fire was discovered word was sent
to Honokaa and almost the entire force
including Manager Watt responded. A
wide road was cut through and around
the cane and by this means the fire was
put under control

Cause of Honolulu
Plantation
Fire.

Fire In field Of the Honolulu plan
an acre of cane. AS soon as the fire
was discovered the men were turned
out In force and the cane was cut about
the burning area, confining the fire to
the one spot. The blaze was seen at
the Peninsula by Acting Governor
Cooper. and his telephone message
brought about arrangements here for
the sending of an engine. on the sup
position that the mill was burning. As
no connection with the plantation could
be had. nothing was done ard within a
half-hour the fire was under control.
Manager Low of the Honolulu plan
tation said yesterday: THE fire was
about $500 feet above the mill. Peopie
living on the Peninsula naturally
thought 1t was in the mill, as the glare
shone through the windows and made
1t really appear as though the blaze
was directly in the building. There are
any number of windows in the mill.
and / am not surprised that people on
the Peninsula were deceived.
AS for bringing the Honolulu fire de-
partment down to the plantation, that
would hardly be necessary except in the
most extreme case. We have a fully
equipped department of our own, in
Guiding hose. hydrants and fire-fghting
paraphernalia. and a reservoir high up
on the hills which holds 1900 gallons
of water. We have a hundred-foot
head.
II am of the opinion that the fire was
ineendiary. There are a number of men
who have been shifted around from one
kind of field work to another. and it is
probable disgruntled laborer made up
his mind to obtain revenge by burning
up the plantation"
