County Board of Education.

The annual meeting of the Burlington
County Board of Education will be held
in the court house, Mount Holly, on Sat.
urday, at 1890. The first business will
be the election of officers. After that
there will be speaking and the annual
dinner.
The speakers will be Vernon L. Davey,
principal of the High school at East

superintendent of Middlesex. Both of
these gentlemen are eloquent takers.
Ex-senator Stokes has accepted an invita-
ton to be present and the assistant super

The Trenton Times says: Much of the
success of public schools depends upon a

To secure this the educational leaders
must get in touch with the people, address
ing the parents through the press and on
the platform Public school work cannot
be done in corner. The people must be
reached and close relationships established
between them and the schools. If Ma
homet will not go to the mountain, the
mountain must go to Mahomet In this
case the people never have taken the in
itiative. Those in charge of the schools
must go to the people"
This especially touches the subject in
hand. No better or more profitable
method of gaining information can be
suggested than by meeting and exchang-
ing views on the subject in which all are
interested. 1t is to be hoped there will be
a large attendance.
The public is invited to attend the
meeting in the court house.

AT meeting of the Auditorium Com
pany held Friday reorganization was
effected as follows: Edwin R. Walker, OF
Trenton, was elected president; William
Alfother, Trenton. vice president; George
A. Atkinson secretary and treasurer. The
following comprise the board of directors;
Edwin r. Walker, William Alfother,
George A. Atkinson, James W. tanning
and George c. Gum. 1t is proposed to
push the work on the building so as to
get it completed at the earliest possible
day, the theatre to be finished first.
William G.. Farmer and Harry W. Car
man, of Burlington. have made assign
ments for the benefit of their creditors.
The assignment of Messrs. Farmer and
Carman are sequels of the effort to build
large opera house in Burlington. These
gentlemen were among the promoters of
this project. They put money in it quite
literally. The stock and bonds did not
sell as rapidly as was expected aud the
original incorporators were not able to
carry out the idea The plans of the
building were extended beyond the first
ideas and the expense was greatly in
creased. The military company and the
basket ball team, which had been expect
ed to take permanent quarters in the new
building rented elsewhere, and that at
once took away the prospects of good re-
turns. The cost of the opera house was
reaching near the sum of $4,000 which
was quite large amount of money to put
in such building. Whether the new
management will be able to make it pay
remains to be seen. The inside history of
this concern would make very interesting
reading.

nestrnctiue Fire

]
The Fenimore farm, near Wood Lane
station, was the scene of destructive fire
1 on Sunday morning. Patrick Hogan owns
the place and he was awakened about one
o'clock by the light from the flames He
hurried out, but was unable to do any
thing towards saving his property. When
he got to the barn the entire southern por
ton was in flames, indicating that the fire
started at that point This was corrobo-
rated by the statement of neighbor who
hurried to the place and who said the
northern end by which he approached
was dark. In addition to this the cows
in the northern end of the barn were
saved
Mr.. Hogan's first thought was for his
horses which were in that part of the
barn which was on fire. When he reached
the spot he soon realized that the animals
were doomed. He was able to see into
one stall and there was one horse stand
ing enveloped in flames. Seeing that
nothing could be done to save either the
attention to the other buildings, small
barn and the dwelling. In this work he
was assisted by George Hendrickson and
Harry Evans, who happened to be driv
ing by and went to the fire. Mr. Hogan
says these young men must have had ex-
perience at fires for he never saw any one
work with more system and energy than
they did. He feels very grateful to them
for their assistance.
There were two barns destroyed. In
the building where the fire started there
were seven horses, two mules and colt
These horses were of good stock, Mr..
Hogan making speciality of raising
blooded horses, He had one double team
he valued at $3.50. All of these animals
were burned. One mare got out and wan

SO badly burned it was necessary to kill
her. In addition to the live stock there
were 20 tons of hay, 10 bushels of I'M
threshed wheat, 900 bushels of corn and
two tons of rye straw. There were few
Ill PiVLhChOo ACoIAOJCus 1uc COWS were
all released.
The fire was probably of incendiary
origin. A neighbor who was attracted by
the light, and who hurried to the fire. saw
two men walking up the railroad at rap
id gait. Another neighbor who lives close
to Hogan's, was up at the time the fire
broke out. He was joined by the gentle
man first mentioned and when the Incl
dent of the two men was related he
remarked that the two must have
crossed the fields as he was positive they
had not gone up the railroad. The dis
lance from where he was to where the
two men were observed made it necessary
for them to pass him if they had used the
track.
Mr.. Hogan had his buildings insured for
$4,000 in the Burlington County Insur-
ance Association. The Royal carried
So, 900, one half of which was on cattle
and horses, the balance being on crops
and household goods. He will recover
800 on his horses. The reason for this is
that he did not insure his horses for more
than $75 each, although some of them
were worth nearly three times that sum.
On the crops he will recover 81, 100.
There was no insurance on the wagons
and implements

Walter Garon and J. Fred Kiner. of

like to be doorkeeper and Kiner would
appreciate the situation if he is allowed
to finish his three years as clerk to com
mittee in accordance with the usual Gus
tom. Both applicants. however, will be
obliged to await the result on the appoint
ment of private secretary to the speaker.
If that should come to Mount Holly. other
applicants would not have any show.
