The Attorney General has
come out with an o I'll { / a

that he obtained as Commis-
sioner of corporations in or

from the grand jury. This i'm
proper action the Attorney

and says that he will ur z e

Delegates representing the councils of
the Junior Order of American Mechanics
of Burlington County, at meeting in the
Office of State Councillor William R Con
ard, here, Thursday evening, set April 20
as the date for grand conclave Thir-
teen councils with over 1900 members are
interested in the movement.
A class of fifteen candidates was con-
firmed Sunday by Bishop Scarborough at
St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church.
1t has been just thirty years since the
Bishop was consecrated to his Office in the
same church. At the afternoon service in
the Chapel of Holy Innocents, in st.
Mary's Hall, the Bishop again admins
tered confirmation to class of four can
didates
The sixty eighth anniversary of the
Presbyterian Sunday school was appro-
priately celebrated by the members Sun
day night with special services Brief
addresses were delivered by the pastor,
the Rev. Frank Lukens, and Paul J. Styer,
superintendent of the school Hand
somely bound books were given to the
members of the honor class as awards for
regular attendance throughout the year.
Negro citizens of this place have held
an indignation meeting protesting against
what they declare to have been the I'M
lawful arrest of members of their race in
connection with the assault of Mrs Frank
Birkett on February II. They say the
authorities have no evidence that will
show that any negro man or any other per-
son whatsoever, with the exception of
Frank Birkett, the woman's husband,
was at or near the cottage at the
time the assault is alleged to have
been committed. The authorities are
charged with arresting and holding
negroes simply because of their color and
race. 1t is also asserted that search for
the Birkett assailants was suddenly
stopped few days after the crime is
alleged to have been committed, and
the signers of the resolutions demand that
the police continue the search until the
guilty person is apprehended.
The Rev. Samuel Prickett, pastor of
the Methodist Church of Chatsworth, de
livered an illustrated sermon upon the
theme, Lost" He illustrated his dis.
course with canvas bearing the picture
of flock of sheep lost in snowstorm.
The picture is only one of several used by
Mr. Prickett in this work. 1t was painted
by him especially for illustrating this ser.
mon, and took first prize when placed on
exhibition at the Mount Holly Fair few
years ago. Mr.. Prickett was formerly a
Burlington boy, and many of his old
friends were present at the service last
night to hear him. Before entering the
ministry Mr.. Prickett was photographer.
It was while following his vocation that
he gained his knowledge of the art which
he has intermingled with so great success
with his sermons.

Court.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dabney, colored, of
Burlington, appeared before the court, on
Saturday, and got little satisfaction af-
ter explaining the circumstances in con-
nection with complaint which her hus-
band made against Edmund Hugg, col
ored boy. The latter was friend of the
woman, who had known him from child
hood. She said that Hugg entered her
room while she was confined in bed by
illness, and drawing revolver, threaten
ed to shoot her. Upon request, Hugg
handed the weapon to Mrs. Dabney, who
found that it contained five cartridges,
although he said it was not loaded. She
then put her hand under pillow, and
drawing her own revolver, made him
leave the room, after which she fred two
shots out Of the window. Hugo laughed
when he entered the room, and he as
laughing when he left it. "He came af-
ter money!" said the woman, who had
made him loans on numerous occasions.
After being sworn, Hugg said Mrs
Dabney told Mr.. Crummell to let him in.
Mrs. Dabney said that another young
man had made an Intellectual attempt to
enter her room and she was afraid of him,
which caused her to get her revolver from
the mantelpiece and place it under the
pillow. HE won't hurt you while am

had been suspended for another crime.
