Foot Ball.

The foot ball game on Saturday came of
on Centre street before large crowd and
the rainy weather did not seem in the least
bit to dampen the enthusiasm of the root
ers, which seems to fortell the success and
support which a good Woodbury. team
always enjoys from the sport-loving COM
munity.
The team consists of nearly the same
players participating in last years. success
full season, excepting Brodosen, Phila.
player, and Umba, captain of last years
second team, and under the able manage
ment of Mr. Carl Heritage the public will
enjoy the most evenly matched games that
it is possible to secure.
The game started at about four O'clock
the home team making the kick off. The
visitors lost the ball, and the locals ad-
vanced the ball making five and eight yard
plunges through their opponents tackles
and guards, but rarely gaining around the
ends, due partly to the visitors excellent
tackling and partly to lack of practice, al
ternately losing the ball, but regaining it
again by fumbles or by holding for DOWNS
until Thoma plunged through tackle in his
old time style for touchdown. Foster
kicked an easy goal, and the players
changed goals. No other points were
scored in this half, the score standing 6 to O..
The Columbia's kicked off in the second
half, and the Weodbury's advanced the
ball slowly but surely towards the goal
posts, Brodosen making the second and last
touchdown of the day, with two minutes
left to continue the game. No goal was
kicked, the score standing IL to 0.

Mr.. Kugler reported that the Fire Com
mittee would hold the annual inspection
of fire apparatus on Saturday next at four
o'clock, and invited Council and the public.
Water collections and permits for Sept.
aggregated S39973.
In communication, j. J. Summerill,
Esq, reported that he had selected d. j..
Pancoast, Esq, as associate counsel in the
sewer suit, and asked privilege of taking
certain papers. The selection of associate
counsel was approved, and request granted.
Engineer Easily, in a communication,
volunteered his services in the sewer suits
for 5000 and travelling expenses and hotel
bills, and Mr.. Davis moved to pay him
that amount.
Mr.. Henderson said he was not yet ready
to vote faye" on that motion. Mr.. Easily,
he said, should appear as witness the
same as other witnesses who would appear,
on legal subpoena, and simply tell the
truth.
Mr.. Davis said there was an immense
amount of work Mr.. Easily would be
required to perform, in order to aid
counsel in preparing this case for trial
Special counsel, he said, thought that was
a reasonable fee.
Mr.. Henderson said we did not want
paid witnesses in this case; he thought it
would prejudice the city's case.
DR.. Reading said that Mr.. Henderson felt
as he did that the city had excellent legal
talent, and this talent wanted Mr.. Easby's
aid, and thought the fee was reasonable.
The contract with Mr.. Easily was read,
and then Mr.. Davis motion was carried by
the following vote -
No-Leeds, Henderson, Kugler-3.
Aye-Batten, Burkett, Davis, Munyan.
Reading-5.

Camden BOYS Murdered.

The finding Of the bodies of John II
Coffin, IL years old, son Of VIM. Coffin
Division Freight Agent Of the p r. r.
and Price Jennings, three years his senior
son of Joseph Jennings, leader Of Sd Regi
ment band, Saturday morning last in {
weed-grown field on the farm of Heuling
| Lippincott near Haddon Heights, about
seven miles southeast of Camden has I'M
loaded mystery on the Camden polict
which so far has baffled them.
They disappeared from their homes short
ly after noon last Wednesday, and, as theil
parents believed, to come to the Interstate
fair. When they did not return Thursday
the boys parents were in q frenzy.
Friday night the dead body of Coffin
was found in the field. That Of Price wa,
found Saturday morning short distance
away.
MURDER is SUSPECTED.
Murder is strongly suspected. Pau
| Woodward, of Camden, IS years old, il
under arrest, charged with the killing.
Not single mark of violence was found
on the body of either lad. Poison was what
killed them, perhaps The police officials
are inclined to this theory. The stomachs
OF the victims are now III the hands of Geo.
M. Berringer, Camden chemist.
County and city police officials say that
the element of mystery in the case pre-.
cludes the possibility of their fixing the
responsibility of the crime, if crime it was.
