Citizens Discuss Coal.

There was a meeting of citizens at the
Good Intent engine house, on Friday
night, to devise ways and means to secure
more coal for Mount Holly than the linn
tied amount now being received by the
dealers.
Robert s. Gaskill was chosen chairman
DIR. G. W. Vanderveer stated that he
had called on several operators in Phil
adelphia that day to learn something
about the coal situation. He was inform
ed that the scarcity of cars was the chief
cause of the coal famine in South Jersey.
The Lehigh and Central railroads, the
Doctor was informed, had lately refused
to allow their cars to go on the Pennsyl-
vania system, alleging that the latter road
used the ears to haul soft coal. instead of
returning them when empty. The coal
that has been coming into this section has
been sent in Pennsylvania cars, but those
cars seem to be very scarce for some rea-
son.
After more discussion it was decided to
appoint committee of three to learn if a
thousand tons of anthracite could be pro
cured from the Reading railroad, at some
wharf in Philadelphia, so that it could be
transported by boat to Hainesport, and
from there carted to Mount Holly. If Sc
cured, it will be sold at cost.
The meeting named Robert s. Gaskill,
Samuel L. Tomlinson and DIR. G. w. Van
derveer as the committee and then adjourn.
ed.
The committee has not yet had reply
from the Reading Company, but expects
to hear from them to-day.
Replies have been received from one OIL
two wholesale dealers, who state they dc
not care 20 take any orders now from new
customers

Governor Scouts Charges.

The announcement is made that Cover
nor Murphy would not pass the sensational
report of the New Jersey State Charities
Aid Association, which made such sensa-
tional charges against the jails and institu-
lions of the State.
The Governor declares that he will not
allow the keepers of asylums and jails
throughout the State to be misrepresented
and assailed in any such way, particularly
when there seems to be but little basis
for the adverse and unfair criticism" and
especially in view that the men attacked
have no adequate means of defense
The Governor has discovered that the
officers of the State Charities Aid Asso-
citation spent but seventeen minutes in one
institution during the year, while one OF
those most violently attacked was visited
less than one hour. The Governor has
told the officers of the association some
plain things, and when the seventeenth
annual meeting of the association opens
in the Newark Public Library there may
be sensational developments.
Secretary William II. Allen, who ac-
cepts the responsibility for having pre-
pared the report, was at the State House
this week, and during his visit was taken
to task for the attack he had made on the
executive department. When confronted
by the facts, Mr. Allen admitted the ms
take but asked that the entire report
should not be condemned an account OF
one error.

Death of Edda Parry.

The heartfelt sympathies of the people
of Burlington county have gone forth
to ex- Senator William G. Parry and his
family over the death of his Youngest
daughter, Edda Middleton Parry, which
occurred at the home of her father at
Hainesport. on Tuesday evening. Four
weeks prior to her death the young girl
was seized with illness which developed
into appendicitis in an aggravated form.
Skilful specialists were summoned and an
operation was performed. The case was
of such nature than within three weeks
two more operations were necessary.
Pleurisy developed and still another opera
ton was resorted to, but in vain, and
after intense suffering the patient sank to
rest.
Miss Parry was but IS years of age
She was a modest, unassuming girl, but
with warm heart, always ready to do a
good deed and to speak cheerful word.
She was teacher in the Friends First
Day school, Mount Holly, but did not
confine her religious work to that sect,
taking an active interest in the Baptist
mission at Hainesport, and was president
of the Christian Endeavor at that place.
Her interest in social gatherings was
great and she was in constant demand at
many entertainments She was quite a
worker in the Young Friends Association,
and also took great interest in the gather
ings of the Farmers socials.
Her funeral took place on Friday, inter-
ment being made in the Friends burying
ground, Mount Holly.

Political Pointers.


The latest sensational development in
the borough fight, is the threat that if the
borough act is not repealed by the com
ing legislature, all of West Tuckerton,
that is all of the borough and of Little
Egg Harbor township west of Tuckerton
creek, will petition to be set back into
Burlington county.
From the Mays Landing Record" There
are in the Republican party says the
Trenton State Gazette, several men who
won d make capable successors as party
leaders to the late William j. Sewell, but
the trouble lies in the fact that each is I'M
willing that the other shall succeed
Casting county pride aside, no man in the
state could better fill the bill than the
Hon. John j. Gardner, soldier, statesman,
diplomat"
Representative Gardeners friends say he
has fine chance to be made chairman of
the Postoffice Committee in the House in
the 58th Congress. There are two mem
bers before him in seniority of service,
but one is deaf and the other may be
passed over as not possessing the same
qualifications as the representative from
the Second New Jersey District Mr.
Gardner has made distinguished record
as chairman of the Labor Committee, but
has been, likewise, active as member of
the Committee on Postoffiees and Post
roads.
The Philadelphia Record says: "What
an easy time Assemblyman Horner had in
landing the Assembly Speakership 1t
looked as though he was called to the
front and presented with it on a silver
salver. He will accept the honor with
that modesty that has been noticed in his
demeanor ever since he began to repre-
sent Burlington County in the Lower
House, and if he shall fail to acquit him
self well he will give many friends a big
surprise. Mr.. Horner is bound to go up
front, and as he is young, aggressive and
alert it will be well to keep an eye on
him. The political field in New Jersey is
just now very promising to men of that
type.
1t will be remembered that, during the
last campaign, an anonymous circular
was issued, asking for Assembly man
Horner's defeat owing to some action ON
the pure food law The report of the
State Board of Health, just rendered to the
Governor, shows that food stuffs and drugs
sold throughout New Jersey are adulter-
ated to a very alarming extent. Of 1892
samples of drugs collected and analysed
during tne year, S4O or OF per cent. were
found to be below the standard of purity
required by the United States pharma-
copeia. About so per cent. of the food
stuffs examined was found to be adulter-
ated Hamburger steaks collected from
butcher shops were found to be drugged
with boracic acid Other articles drugged
were olive oil, molasses and syrups, mince
meat, sausage and scrapple, cream of tar
tar, coffee, cocoa and chocolate and mus
tard. The Investigations of milk and
butter showed that these articles were
now being sold almost entirely in a pure
condition in this state. The total amount
of fines collected for the year for viola
tions of the pure food and pure drug law
was $4,000. The pure food and drug law
is not such bad measure after all

She Feels Tired.

At Smithville there is little girl aged
10 years. Her name is Effie Norcross.
Last May she was so severely burned she
was compelled to go to her bed where she
has been confined ever since, unable to
occupy any other position than lying fiat
on her stomach, saving such times as she
is moved by her attendants. When you
think of it that is a trial that would cause
many older persons to feel discouraged.
Seven months in such position, suffering
pain from the burns, would break up an
adult. We are glad to say the little suf-
ferer is recovering and it is hoped she will
soon be able to be around. 1t is no won
der she feels tired" and has put some of
her feelings on paper. They are quite
good 40 we give them.
