Court.

On Tuesday morning jury was called
to try the civil suit of George w. Snyder
vs. the John S. Rogers Company. Snyder
is resident of Moorestown, and is a
painter by trade. He was employed by
the Rogers Company, and was at work on
the new trust building in Moorestown
standing on a ladder, which broke,
throwing him to the floor of the
building, breaking his leg and causing
injuries that it is said will result
in a permanent disability The defense
was that Snyder was not authorized or
directed to use the ladder for any such
purpose; that there was no occasion for
him to do what he did, and that the acct
dent was entirely the result of his own
lack of judgment and care, therefore the
defendant could not be held legally re-
sponsible for the injury.
After hearing three witnesses for plain
tiff, counsel for the defense moved to non
suit on the ground that Snyder was en-
gagged in work not in the line of his duty
when he met with the accident, and that
the ladder in question was not furnished
for the use to which the plaintiff had
made of it, therefore he was guilty of con.
tributory negligence. This view of the
| case was taken by the court and a non
suit was granted.
The suit of John b. Davis, receiver of
the John w. Taylor Co., of Mount Holly,
against the Wolf Milling Co., to recover
| the..value of water wheels sold and deliver
ed to the defendant, was next put on trial
There was no defense to the suit, and
| judgment was rendered by default for the
full amount claimed, $3.50 E. p Budd
appeared for the plaintiff.
On Thursday morning George D'Alisa
was put on trial for an assault with intent
to kill William Mathews. The ARRAY oc-
CURED in Mount Holly last summer
Several witnesses for the state had given
their evidence when Charles K Chambers
counsel for defence, asked permission to
withdraw the plea of not guilty and enter
one of non vult contendere This was
granted.
| The prisoner was then given a lecture
by the court, and sentence was suspended.
Sentence was also suspended on Bert
| Smith, who was indicted for steal; ng
goods from Wilmer Burning, in Medford
Harry P. Collins, who retracted his
plea of not guilty to charge of forgery,
was sent to the state prison for one year
and six months.
| Sentence was suspended on George
Hall, colored boy, who stole an. over
coat.
Ezra Bowker, Jr., was acquitted on the
charge of stealing two axes, and was con
victed of breaking and entering dwell
| ing in Browns Mills, and stealing house
hold goods.

cut list and set trial for Thursday.

jurors were discharged subject to the call

Tuesday, November 4, will be election
day. Polls open at A. M, close at Z P.
NJ.
The Democrats have been playing a
shrewd game. They had several of their
candidates Decline leading Republicans
to believe they would have an easy time
of it. All the time the Democratic candi-
dates have been secretly working for their
own benefit
The Democratic executive committee
got together last week and induced Ben
jamin H. Deacon to stand up and be
knocked down next Tuesday. They also
used persuasive arguments with others
and placed George w. Sisom, of Burling-
ton city, to stand for Assembly, and Budd
r. Hancock, Burlington township, for
auditor
The Democrats of Burlington city have
no ticket. They did not hold their eau
Gus until Friday. The law requires all
nominations to be filed with the county
clerk ten days before election. The limit
expired on Saturday. On Monday at
noon the Democratic ticket was offered to
clerk Warrick, but he refused to receive
it. The Democrats have nobody to blame
but themselves On Thursday Republi-
can of Burlington telephoned the county
clerk to know the latest time nominations
would be received Mr.. Warrick told
him, and added that not minutes grace
would be allowed beyond that time. The
Republican not only hurried his own tick
ct but telephoned certain Democrats in
Burlington what would happen if they
were not on time. The latter are takin 2
counsel to ascertain if there are any means
whereby they can get their ticket printed

of the popularity of "a
dramatic star as the size of the audiences

favor is seen at Wallack's Theatre, New
York, at every performance of 1.-The
Sword of the King by Miss Henrietta

at the theatre each week during Miss

proof of the hold this talented artistic has
taken on amusement patrons. Miss eros

her stage career had she equalled the

KETTH'S For the current week at
Keith's an above-the aver
age entertainment is indicated by the list
OF entertainers announced. Heading the
program will be Eva Williams and Jack
fucker, the former one of the cleverest
actresses on the American stage in her
peculiar field. The illness of Miss Will
liams last week prevented this team
from appearing, but they were seen last
evening in "Driftwood," than which, per-
haps, there is 10 more delightful little sketch
in variety. 1t is something unique among
the many little plays that have been pro-
vided for the delectation of Keithites. Ii
is piece that provokes laughter and tears,
and is at all times charming. Another
exclusive Keith card is Papinta, the
beautiful myriad dancer, the value of
whose act is evidenced by the fact thai il
proved last week one of the greatest draw
ing cards of the wear, notwithstanding the
frequency of its former presentations in
this city. Papinta has been styled Terp-
schore incarnate. and her performances
this week are likely to draw audiences nc
less large than those of the past six days.

team has for a decade been seen in q
single act, fact which indicates Its ex-

entertainment far more enjoyable than
was their former effort. The remainder
of the program is composed Of acts thai
