Extensive improvements are being made
at the Palmyra High School building.
The Palmyra Improvement Association
has started to belt the poplar trees on the
streets in order to kill them and replace
them with naples, which give more shade
and do not lose their foliage SO early in
the fall
Q Invitations have been issued for the
wedding of Miss Florence Edna Dayis,
daughter of township committeeman Jo-
seph A. Davis, to George W. McCord, al
the home of the brides parents, on Au-
gust O.
While returning home after spending
Wednesday evening with mis- sweetheart,
Ralph Shoemaker was attacked by a
negro, who knocked him down with a
blow in the face and attempted to rob
him. As they grappled in the darkness
the young man called for help, and when
window in a nearby house was thrown
open the negro took to his heels. The as
sault took place at Broad street aud Nor
gan avenue, where a number of bushes
grow along the sidewalk, rendering it
very dark, though within two blocks of
the railroad station and the business Sec
tion of the town. Shoemaker was unable
to describe his assailant.

Theatres.

The theatrical season in Burlington will
open on August 10, and the first company
booked is noted below. Manager Lanning
proposes to make this playhouse more
popular than ever, and he will be very
careful in his bookings. The 'Errand
Boy is said to be strong musical comedy,
and the management has found by exper.
fence that this is the kind of attractions
the people in this section want A num-
Der of improvements have been made to
this theatre which will be more attractive
at the opening of its third season. The
entrance to the building has been freshly
painted and decorated, giving it a bright
appearance. Mr.. tanning will have fire
escapes erected before the season opens.
In every novel conceivable way "The
Errand Boy spectacular musical comedy
extravaganza, with the very decided ad-
vantage of unique plot and the intro
duction of many tuneful numbers, by as
many composers of note, should prove
more than ordinarily acceptable to those
who have become somewhat jaded, owing
to the frequent similarity with which
theatre patrons have been inflicted of late
seasons The one object that has guided
the judgment of Sullivan, Harris and
Woods, to whom is due the credit for an
offering out of the beaten path, has been
to make their musical comedy enterprise.
larger, grander and in all respects more
inviting than the gentle public have been
accustomed to. In how far they have
succeeded is vouched for in the in
spring press reports, all of which make
special exalted observation concerning the
funnyism of Billy B. Van who leads a
company of entirely capable comedians,
singers and dancers. 1.-THE Errand Bow
is underlined at the Auditorium, Burling-
ton, on August Is.

days at Atlantic City.
Mrs. Levi Platt spent Sunday at Penn
berton with friends.
Mrs. John Bishop has gone to Lakehurst

During the past two or three weeks
several men from this place have secured

The Medford team came over on Satur-
urday with about fifty fans with them,
but the rain was the only thing that saved
them from another defeat at the hands of
the Florence boys, who are putting up
the right style of ball this year.
The Board of Education still faces the
problem of how to care for the children
who will be sent to the public schools.
There are more children of school age in
town than the school houses will hold and
where they are going to put them is what
the Board would like to know. Then
again the State School authorities have
the power to withhold the funds for school
purposes if the Board does not provide
proper school houses for the pupils.

George o. Adams, proprietor of the
Everett house, Tuckerton, died on Tues.
day, after long illness. He was native
of Bass River. being the son of David
Adams, of Bass River, and Hope Rockhill
daughter of Solomon Rockhill, of Tucker
ton. He had carried on the Everett house,
a temperance hotel, at Tuckerton, fol
thirty years, the house being famous fol-
its table. He married Amy Gaskill, OF
Tuckerton. They have no children.
The Ocean County Board of Freeholders
at their meeting on Thursday bowed tc
public sentiment and entered into reform
in the matter of bills. No personal bills
of members were passed without reading
no bill was passed unless the person pre-.
senting it had sworn to its correctness. a
big batch of the bills presented was turned
down and sent back to the persons pre-.
senting them. The Freeholders appro.
priated for the 1905 budget only as much
as the statute allowed, $74, 900, or three
quarters of l per cent. of the assessed
valuation. Last year they went above
this considerably. Another reform was
that they included in the budget $27, 0OO
to pay on the notes now owed by the
county, which amount to $33, 900. 1t was
said by the Finance Committee that they
hoped to save enough from other appro-
priations to pay the rest of the notes. A
committee which has been going over the
accounts of the board for the last two
years reported that the Grand Jury and
the newspapers were right in saying that
the board had exceeded its appropriations.
BY their own figures in 1908, $15 743 was
appropriated for roads and incidentals, y
and more than $24, 900 was spent on roads.
In 1904 $25, 900 was appropriated for roads
and more than $50, 900 was spent on that
item. The board did not take up the ques-
tion of graft that has been alleged against
its members, nor did it investigate the
charges of pooled contracts and rakeoffs.

There recently was removed from the
junction of Cooper, Laurel and Bank
streets, at Beverly, the foundations of the
old Dunk's Ferry Hotel, in Revolutionary
times the Jersey terminus of the only fer
ry line between Camden and Trenton. The
old place had ever been known as an his
torical spot, but facts which have since
been unearthed place its significance in
the colonies early days far above what
has been reported.
History really tells but little about this
hotel, but Beverly's grand old man, y
Abraham Vansciver, vouches for the
statement that the old building was tenn
porarily the headquarters of General
Washington, and that his army used the
ferry and built the road that connects the
landing on the Pennsylvania shore with
the Bristol pike.
Mr.. Vansciver's great grandfather, Fen.
nimore Vansciver, was a Scotchman, who
owned the land where the city of Beverly
now stands and built the Dunk's Ferry
Hotel. To him, in this hotel, was born &
son-James Fennimore. While James Fen
nimore lay sleeping in cradle in the ole
hotel. British boat came up the Della
ware river in search of Washington
army and fired upon the hotel, cannon
ball striking the bank and passing through
the open doors and directly over the heac
of the sleeping child.
James Fennimore was the grandfather
of John w. Fenimore, afterward Speak
er of the House of Assembly in New Jer
sey. He was also the grandfather of ]
Fenimore Cooper, the American novelist
who lived at Coopertown, village abou
mile distant from Beverly
The present Mr.. Vansciver saw the frs
railroad train that was operated in Amer
lea. The old Amboy Railroad was unde
construction and had it's terminus a
Bridge street, Beverly, then called Dunk
Ferry.
Mr.. Vansciver has never smoked no
used intoxicants, and is well preserved
and active. Beverly is noted for its well
preserved citizens. Still living and il
health are Louis Stokes, SO years; E. G
| Worster, 95; Mrs Eliza Fish, go; Marion
King, "a; Samuel Jones, 81; Richard Nor
rell, in his ninetieth year, and many il
their eighties.

Lodz, Russian Poland, June %. =
Troops have stornled the barbados
erected in the streets by strikers.
Fifty persons have been killed and 200
wounded. Martial law will be de.
clared.
Since early yesterday morning this
city has been in state Of panic. The
strike is general and all the factories
and the shops are closed Barricades
have been erected at many points.
Rifle volleys and revolver shots are
heard continually.
Many people have been killed or
wounded, but it is impossible at pres
ent to ascertain the number with any
exactitude, owing to the general char
acter of the disturbances.
The mob sacked number of liquor
stores and broke the street lamps
Street railroad traffic is interrupted
Situation Very Serious.
ST. Petersburg, June 25.-According
to advlces received here the situation
in Poland is again exceedingly seri-
GUS. Censored dispatches from LODI,
though giving few details. indicate
that fierce street fighting was in prog
ress yesterday between the military
and the striking workmen, who barri-
caded the thoroughfares in various
quarters of the city and offered resis-
lance which the troops met with vol
leys. The list of dead and wounded
presumably is heavy, but not even an
estimate has been received here
Russian correspondents telegraph that
the streets are
Entirely In the Hands
of the military and the mob, and that
1t is unsafe to venture out to obtain
details.
I 1t is not known whether the fighting
was continued last night but it is in
ferred that order can be restored only
at heavy sacrifice.
Lodz has been in turmoil for the
past three days. The strike, which en-
braces $4,000 workers, appears to have
entirely lost it's economic nature and
is now a vast political manifestation.
All forms of public business activity
have been suspended, the peaceful in
habitants remaining indoors in fear of
their lives.
