Almost a Murder.

Early Wednesday morning Kate Clark,
who lives on the Bridgeboro road out
near the old toll house went to the home
of Lizzie Bailey, near by, and knocked on
the door,
When Mrs. Bailey came to the door Mrs.
Clark threw her arms around her and TAX
ing sharp knife from her pocket, began
slashing at her throat. Mrs. Bailey
screamed for help and her husband, who
was working near by, hearing her cries,
ran to the house and succeeded In getting
the two women separated An officer was
summoned and Mrs. Clark placed under
arrest.
Dr. Davis, who treated Mrs. Bailey's
injuries, found that if the cut had gone a
sixteenth of an inch deeper the jugulaI
vein would have been severed. Unless
complications arise she will probably re-
cover
The two women were not on friendly
terms and Mrs. Clark is said to have been
intoxicated at the time she made. the at
| tack.
Magistrate Smith, of Burlington, held
her under 81 900 bail, in default of which

The Dam Rnrsted

An event that has been expected for
some time came to pass on Sunday when
the dam on the Rancocas at Mount Holly
gave way and was swept down the creek
1t was an old structure, built in 1871, but
had been repaired many times. Of late
years it has not been given much attention,
1t controlled the water for the grist and
saw mills, and is the property of the
South Jersey Gas and Electric Company,
which purchased it from Mrs. Richard G.
Shreve.
By the bursting of the dam the water
above it will naturally be lowered to a
great degree Notfar from the dam is the
pumping station of the water company.
At the time the water was condemned,
owing to the typhid fever epidemic, the
company removed its intake to the position
it now occupies. This move enabled the
securing of better water, owing to the
depth and condition of the stream at that
point. The former will be interfered with
in the present condition of affairs as where
there has been ten feet of water there will
be likely not over three feet at the best.
All ideas on the matter, however, are
speculation, and nothing definite can bt
determined until the waters, now higl
from the frequent rains, have subsidized
There is little fear of permanent injury II
the water supply as with but three fee
the reservoirs can be easily filled.
Whether the dam will be rebuilt has no
vet been decided This rests entirel,
with the Gas company to settle

Travelling Weather Signals.

Arrangements have been made by the
Post Office Department for the display OF
weather signals from the wagons of the
rural free delivery, and the innovation
will shortly go into effect.
Reports from the Weather Bureau will
be forwarded to all rural free delivery
centres before the departure of the carrier
on his route, and large signals will in ac
cordance be displayed on the sides of the
wagon, so that all farmers along the
route may be able to read them at dis
lance. The signals will be carried daily
where the service is such, and on all trips
OF the rural delivery.
The time of the departure of all routes
is to be carefully noted and the weather
report forwarded to each in ample timt
for use. Where the regular time of de
parture happens to be before the repor
can reach the point the carriers will be in
structed to wait for it.

amined. OF these five were ensigns, and
the entire eight had served on board the

Hand and Ralph N. Marble.
The last witness of the day was Medical

came aboard the Brooklyn on May 26 that
the Spaniards were not at Santiago.
