Memorial Day.

Memorial day was tittingly observed in
Mount Holly. The town began to fill up
early in the morning, there being attrac-
tons to draw visitors other than the re-
spect paid to the soldier dead

Riots at De1anco.

The people of Delanco are greatly in
censed over riotous fights between some
young men of the town and several labor
ing men, who are employed in trench dig
ging by the South Jersey Gas Company
and who are boarding there. On Friday,
after they had an overload of beverages,
the men began to get boisterous, which
terminated in a general fight and several
got bruised faces. Saturday evening hos
tilities broke out anew, in which the gas
men came out second best The fight con-
tinued until early Sunday morning. Some
of the men were knocked down and kicked
about the face and head so badly that they
were compelled to go to doctor for aid.
The citizens and also the Law and Or
der Society are talking of taking the
affair into their own hands if it continues
any longer, and if they do quite number
of the boys about town will be arrested
People say there are some who are always
ready with their fists or clubs, whichever
comes handiest to do battle with. As
there is only one constable who acts as
special officer during the summer months,
he is not able to cope with such large
gang as this.
Those who are the worst hurt are
Birmingham, foreman of the gas gang,
whose home is in Salamanca, N. Y; G..
Henry, blacksmith, of Pittsburg, and
man who answers by the name of Mac
alees.
Sunday evening the fight was started
again by the DeIanco boys, and several
special officers have been sworn in to
patrol the town.

Moorestown.


Miss Deborah Terrier. of Oak avenue,
has been elected for the eighth grade in
the list of teachers for Woodbury..
Letters of administration on the estate
of John H. Stokes, deceased, have been
granted by the Surrogate to j. Bispham
Stokes. The personal estate is valued at
$4,000
The first suit against the Township as
an outcome of the sewer muddle was to
have been tried before Vice Chancellor
Reed at Trenton Tuesday, but owing to
the failure of the complainants to put in ap-
pearance the case could not proceed and
will probably not be heard inside OF a
year.
One of the novel sights presented these
balmy nights at Moorestown while the
green grass is growing is a lawn mower
with headlight. 1t may be seen any
evening propelled by young man who
has lots of push but little time during the
day to attend to natures hair cut. The
light is of the calcium variety usually
worn on the front of bicycles. The sue
cess of this little scheme may result in its
general adoption by suburbanites.
D. B. Gray, travelling agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul Railroad,
has adopted a unique method of advertis-
ing. While in Moorestown a few days
ago he hired some boys to capture five
turtles for him. To each turtle he attach
ed numbered brass tag, with the date
and initials of his road The turtles were
released near the school house and Mr..
Gray has offered a prize of free trip
from Chicago to St. Paul and return for
any person capturing any of these turtles
one year after date.
The Moorestown firemen will be com
PEELED to practice economy the coming
year, as but $3.50 was appropriated for

| tablishment of the department. The fol-
lowing Board of Fire Commissioners was
elected: President, B. F. Ellis; secretary,
DR.. F. G. Stroud; treasurer, Benjamin
, Rogers; Walter s. French and Charles
Lessle. Charles F. Robinson was elected
chief and Samuel j. Ruff first assistant
engineer.
