board OF Freeholders.

The March meeting of the Salem
County Board Of Chosen Freeholders was
held in the Court House on the 18th,
every member being present.
Mr.. Robinson, Of Elmer, appeared be-
fore the Board and asked that his son,
Geo. w. Robinson, who is now confined
in Salem Jail be released. Mr.. Robinson
presented a petition signed by many of
the respectable people Of Elmer and VIC
unity petitioning the Board to favorably
consider the matter, as, in their opinion,
justice had been met. Robinson was
found guilty at the May term of court of
assault and battery on Whitley Williams
and was sentenced to six months in jail
and was also fined $500. Mr.. Robinson
stated that he was unable to pay the fine
and that his son had now been in jail
about ten months. He said that his son
would be a great help to him OF the farm
as it was impossible to procure help at
this time of year. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on the discharge
of prisoners.
Mr.. Fox reported that the committee
on the Elsinboro State Road had been
unable to meet for the purpose of con
sidering the acceptance of the same, but
that a meeting would be held before the
next meeting of the Board.
Progress was reported by the commit
tees on the stone bridge in Elmer, the
committee on the Woodstown Bank As
sessment, and by the committee to ascer-
tain needed improvements to the Salem
Jail, the suggestions Of which were con-
tanned in the communication from the
Salem county branch of State Charities
Aid Society, read before the Board at its
last meeting.
Mr.. CARL, who is having a new bridge
constructed below the water works dam
at Quinton stated that the bridge was five
feet above the road bed and asked if the
expense Of building the approach was to
be born by the county. Solicitor Sum-
merrill stated that the courts had decided
that all approaches must be kept in re-
pair by the county. SO that they be safe
for travel.
Road Commissioner Dunn appeared be-
fore the Board in regards to the new
gravel road now being built in Upper
Pittsgrove. He stated that in his opin-
ion the road will not have sufficient slope
to drain the water. In the curse of a
year or two the road bed proper will be
as low as the sides Of the road. In this
case MI. Dunn said the shoulders of the
road must be cut away or the road bed
built up with new material. Then in
scraping the shoulders cannot be scraped
as this material is not fit to go upon the
road. In the course of time a gulley is
formed at the sides of the road by such
scrapings with no way for the water to
drain of. Mr.. Dunn thought the rem
edy would lie in having more slope to
| the road and less shoulders to the road
| when built. The matter was referred to
the committee.
MI. Burk reported that Mr.. Trumbull
has removed the sand off the road bed
proper of the new stone road in Oldmans
but had left it upon the shoulders of the
| road.
Auditing committee for next month,
Messrs. Harris, Griscom and Borton.

A Happy Settlement.

The agreement made by the Commiss.
toners of New Jersey and Delaware by
which it is proposed to settle the long dis.
pute over the fishing rights of the Della.
ware is fair and equitable to the fishermen
of both states. 1t does not deprive Della.
ware of her chimerical claim to an imagi-
nary 12-mile circle, nor does it deprive hel
fishermen of the free right to fish to the Jel
seyshore. 1t does not give Jersey fishermen
any more rights than they have enjoyed
for over 200 years since the settlement
on the Delaware, except when Delaware
asserted a sole, exclusive right to owner
ship which she cannot prove. 1t provides
for common fishing rights and concurrent
legislation. 1t provides for nothing but
what is equitable and just and no fair
minded mar can take exceptions to a
ratification of the agreement.

Delaware Lawmakers Disapprove
Treaty.

DOfN u ANS
Treaty.
One of the Warmest debates during the
present session Of the Delaware legisla-
ture took place Monday morning in the
house of representatives when the reports
of the commissioners appointed by the
general assembly some weeks ago to de-
termine the Delaware river fish boundary
lines between New Jersey and Delaware
was read.
After the report had been read Repre-
sentative Holcombe arose and addressing
the speaker, stated that the report and
the bill accompanying it, Of which there
had been no previous notice given, was
nothing more nor less than a scheme to
pass "snake legislation"
He accused Attorney General Ward,
who was on the floor Of the house at the
time, of perpetrating the scheme, and
also of exerting his influence to have the
report accepted and the bill rushed
through the house with undue haste.
The attorney general, in reply, denied
the accusation, stating that his sole pur-
pose and object was for the welfare OF the
state, and nothing else. MI. Holcombe
contended that if the bill went through
the New Jersey fishermen in a few years
would invade the Delaware waters to
such an extent as to wipe out entirely
the Delaware fishermen.
"Already," he further said: have the
fishery industries along the Delaware
river suffered by the prolonged dispute,
and it is 0 time that the matter should
be settled"
Other members of the house living
within the radius of the twelve-mile cir
Gle objected to the rushing through OF
the measure, as they had not been con-
suited, as provided for in the resolution.
After an hour had been taken up In
debate, blocking all other le~gislatian, the
report of the commission was, according
to Representative Holcombe's motion,
received but not accepted

Big Panther Shot in California.

The largest panther ever killed in Nevada
county, Cal. measuring nine feet and four
inches in length. was put to death on
Scotchman Creek. near Washington, by
Benjamin and Emmett Mccullough on
Tuesday March 10. The men, while hunt
ing, came upon fine buck reposing in a
small open space. A moment after mon
ster panther was seen about ten feet from
the stag, crouching and ready to spring.
One Of the hunters shot at the panther just
as it leaped and the beast rolled over on it's
back. Only for a moment, however, for 1t
was on it's feet in an instant and started
for the men. AS the beast advanced they
kept their rifles going. first one and then
the other shooting at vital spots. Not until
the panther was within a few feet OF the
men did 1t roll over on it's back dead. The
panther was full grown. Its claws were
worn short from travelling over the rocky
hills. Its skin. however. was soft and
glossy. On many occasions the tracks of
the panther have been followed In an effort
to find the den of the beast, and several
times members of hunting parties have
caught glimpses of the animal. Sheep and
live stock have suffered from it's depreda-
lions.

New York's Charity.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Charity finds a wide field Of expression in
New York. In all. there are probably 1000
different institutions. conducted by
churches. by societies. and supported by
subscriptions. by the endowments of the
wealthy. or by the persistent efforts of
individuals. There Is charity for the
mother before her child Is born. for the
city has Its free lying-in hospitals: there is
a charity for the newborn babe, should 1t
be deserted by its parents. for 1t finds its
way into the care OF the organizations for
foundlings. There are many homes for boys
and girls. some Of these homes modest and
poor. some Of them most costly and elab-
crate: there are free schools OF all sorts for
youths and young girls: there are free en-
ployment places for grown men and wo-
men who are out Of work and unfortunate;
and then, there are homes for the aged,
for men and for women. and for husbands
and wives together. when their days of
strength and usefulness have passed, and
have left them unprovided for In their last
years. And finally, there is charity which
conducts the fuperak for instance, whose
members may provide against going to the
potter's field, securing last resting place
for their bones that Is not a pauper's grave
Thus to the newborn babe, to the strong
man and to tottering old age - the hand
