blood clot at once formed over the eye
obscuring its sight. He came to DR..

New Jersey VS.. Delaware,

A despatch from Washington, dated
April s, says: The case of New Jersey
against Delaware, involving the jurisdic-
tion of those States over fishing rights in
the Delaware river and bay, which has
headed the docket of the Supreme Court
for twenty-four years, came up to-day on a
motion made by Attorney General Ward,
of Delaware, to continue the case for six
months. Attorney General Grey, of New
Jersey, assented, but wished an order issued
requiring Delaware to answer directly on
the merits, cutting off the right to demur
Chief Justice Fuller declined to make
the order, saying this could be done after
the case had been given a hearing. He
fixed the first Monday in the October term
for hearing the arguments.
The controversy first appeared in the
Supreme Court March IS, 1877, and has
since dragged along by continuances.
All the original counsel have died, among
them F. T. Frelinghuysen and John P.
Stockton, of New Jersey, and Thomas F.
Bayard, of Delaware.
The controversy began in 1871, when the
Legislature of Delaware, claiming under
the original grant exclusive jurisdiction of
the river over to the low water mark of the
Jersey shore, passed an act for self protec-
ton that persons from other States must
pay $40 yearly license.
There was considerable i'll feeling caused,
and fight between Delaware officers and
armed fishermen from New Jersey was only
averted by proclamation by the Governor
of the latter State
Delaware then suspended the obnoxious
law, pending decision by commission.
The commission apparently did not reach
conclusion, and the conflict was resumed.
1t continued until 1877, when New Jersey
brought the case to the Supreme Court,
another truce being declared. Since then
nothing has been done but to continue the
case

Rural Free Mail Delivery.

1t was confidently announced a few
weeks ago that the scheme of rural fee
mail delivery would go into force at Sewell,
Hurffville, Barnsboro and Turnerville on
April LIST, and the people in that section
were on tip-toe of expectancy to see how it
would work
That the scheme was all set to music
there is no doubt because the routes were
laid out, carriers selected and everything
ready to start on schedule time The post
office at Sewell was to be the distributing
centre, and carriers were to be launched out
over the county from that point.
But there was a hitch. The procession
did not move and to date has not moved.
The reason is said to lie in visit which
certain influential citizens of HurffvilIe
paid to Congressman Loudenslager, and
petitions against it placed in his hands.
Rightly or wrongly, the people have been
educated to believe that the free mail
delivery scheme means only one mail per
day and that only to persons fortunate
enough to reside on the direct route
traversed by the carrier. Patrons of the
mails whose place of abode is slightly off
the route would be obliged to go to the
post Office as now, or trust their mail to a
box located on the route far from their
homes. In addition they see in the not
distant future the end Of the village post
office and the social evenings on the store
porch and around the store stove while
waiting for the MALL
What the result of this visit to Mr.
Loudenslager will be, nobody in the district
affected seems to know, but at present both
parties, those who favor and those who OPP
pose, are impatient at the uncertainty
They want to know 'where they are at"

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania last
week dismissed the appeal of Charles J..
Field from the decision of Common Pleas
Court No. 2. The lower Court had refused
to order Martha L. Robinson, Principal of
the Keystone Grammar School, to admit
the child of Mr.. Field as a pupil in the
school, the refusal to admit her having been
based on the ground that she had not been
vaccinated. The Supreme Court says -
"We think the Court below did not err
in the ruling referred to in the assign
ments. In Duffield VS.. Williamsport
School District we held that School Di-
rectors, in the exercise of sound dis
cretion, may exclude from the public
schools pupils who have not been vac
cinated. Whether resolution excluding
from the schools pupils who have not been
vaccinated is reasonable one is to be
judged in the first instance by the School
Directors. In the present state of medical
knowledge and of convincing opinion of
those having charge of the public health,
the Courts will not say that such a resolu-
tion is an abuse of official discretion 1t
has not been shown to our satisfaction that
the Act of June Is, 1895, is unconstitu-
tional. For the reasons above stated we
dismiss the assignments ana sustain the
conclusion of tie Court below"
Commenting on the above decision, the
Philadelphia Times says =
THE power of school boards to exclude
from public school privileges those who
refuse or neglect to be vaccinated, is de-
clared to be good in law by the Supreme
Court of the State in decision handed
down few days ago. This should put ar
end to further controversy about the matter
and be accepted by all school boards as
judicial mandate to enforce the provisions
of the act Of June 10, 1895.
THAT vaccination furnishes the best
known protection against the spread of
smallpox is beyond question at this late
day, and if the public authorities are
justified in enforcing any provisions for
the protection of the community against
the spread of infectious diseases, vac
cination should head the list of precau-
tionary measures
We quote the above because the Wood
bury Board of Education has made perma-
nent the rule excluding from school chill
dren not provided with certificate of
and in some quarters the
legality of that act is questioned

Suit for $40, 1000 Damages.

Through his counsel, ex-Judge r. s.
Clymer, Herbert ]. Clement. has brought
suit against the estate of Daniel BEETLE for
$20,0 900 damages, sustained on August 80
last. The source of this suit will be read
lily recalled by our readers. The contention
of the Clements and BEETLE brothers over
the right of way in a lane, the words be-
tween young Clement and Daniel BEETLE on
on that morning in August, the shooting Of
young Clement by BEETLE, and Bettle's
arrest and suicide in Woodbury. Jail.
Benz. r. BEETLE is executor of the estate
of Daniel, and this suit is directed against
him as executor and will be tried at the
next term of our county Courts. Harry
Scovel, of Camden, will represent BEETLE.
Judge Clymer, in his summons, says that
Clement was injured in so grievous man
ner that his life was, by reason thereof,
despaired of, and by reason of such wound
ing the said plaintiff then become lame,
sick and disordered, and SO continued for a
long time, thereby rendering him incapable
of following and transacting his necessary
business affairs
The Court of Errors and Appeals, in
recent opinion, affirmed the decision of the
Gloucester County Circuit Court, giving
the Clements the right of way over the
piece of ground in dispute when BEETLE
shot Clement.

A cedar log, three feet in diameter, dug
up from eleven feet below the surface of
cedar marsh in South Jersey, will be a
