Two large barns on the farm of War
rington Darnell, near Masonville were

When the collector at base ball game
passes the hat for contributions. and is

those having the matter in charge. there
will be some good base ball games in
Mount Holly during the present season.

to work for the trolley company, but left
for parts unknown upon learning that a

side Yacht Club, of which Mayor Weaver,
of Philadelphia, is Commodore. explain
ed that the boiler of a donkey engine had
blown up, throwing one man sixty feet
into the bay and blowing over several
others who were standing near. None of
the men were severely injured, the great
