Discard Murder Theory.

With one or two important points
still unexplained the authorities now
say that Miss Mary Bradley, whose
body was found in her lonely home
near Franklinville, was not victim
of foul play. They think she died OF
natural causes, despite all the indica-
tons of a crime Among the discover
les which seemed to strengthen the
idea that the woman might have been
slain was that the letter she was APP
parently writing at the time she died
and which she never finished, closed in
a handwriting different from that of
the main portion This, it is explained,
may have been due to the fact that the
unfortunate was probably stricken
with the fatal illness as she sat writ
ing and her trembling hand produced
the change. Another fact is that at
least $1.35 of the woman's money is
missing. On the Saturday night before
she died she gave Mute & Sons, store
keepers at Franklinville, a check for
SO in payment for goods amounting
to $3.50. She got the change, but only
two cents were found in her house
after most diligent search. The blood
found on the floor where the body lay,
DR.. Fisler says, may have been caused
by the knocking loose of Miss Brad
ley's teeth in the fall from her chair,
as she struck the stove, which would
also account for scar on the face. Un-
less the authorities get more direct
evidence there will be no autopsy.

/ What Thomas Dexter had good cause
to remember was that he rose the next
morning with splitting headache and
that three weeks afterward he and
Polly Cleaver were married.
They lived together for just two
months, and then they parted. The
plain truth is that Polly ran away.
When Thomas Dexter aWoke from
his dream and discovered his mistake
he tried to make the best Of it.
He demonstrated and argued with
Polly, but his circumstances were
thrown away upon her, and her argu-
ments were stronger than his--consist-
ing Of anything in the hardware line
she could lay her hands on. She was
at once incorrigible and honest.
II was never cut out for married
woman" she said.
She had old acquaintance whom
she would not give up "for the best
man that ever wore shoe leather"
Among these acquaintances was Holy
Joe, a costermonger, so called because
he was in the habit of making an open
scoff of religion.
sI've made bad bargain" sighed
Thomas Dexter.
He did not mourn long. Now that
his eyes were opened, his fear was that
Polly would come back from time to
time, and make his life intolerable.
Her father made many efforts to in
duce her to extract money from her
husband, but she would not listen to
him.
Then Mr.. Cleaver endeavored to OBJ
tain a hold on Thomas Dexter by going
to him and reviling Polly, but Mr..
Dexter would have nothing to do with
him. The end of Mr.. Cleaver was that
he died Of a days work.
In the course of two or three years
Thomas Dexter almost forgot Polly en-
tirely, almost forgot that he had ever
been married, almost forgot that he
had ever been in love.
He could undoubtedly have been re-
leased by law from the yoke of matri-
mony had he sued for divorce, but
he would not trouble himself.
From that time forward he thought
no more of women. A seal was put
upon his romance, in its sentimental
aspect, which was never to be re-
moved.

AT intervals comes news of the trial
trips which the electric locomotives
are making from Schenectady, N. T.,
with expert officials aboard the trains.
One engine, drawing a large number
of heavy cars. reached a speed of
eighty three miles an hour. a consid-
cradle time will pass before all the
trains to and from the new Grand Cen
trial Station in New York City viii be
moved by electricity, but that seems to
be the end toward which we are MAX
ing progress. The development of
transportation has wonderful things in
store, asserts the New York Tribune.
New York has witnessed marvellous
changes in the past, but the progress of
the early portion Of this century may
surpass them all.

Arrest Cost Them 5000.

Charles Fl. Goodenough was awarded
a verdict of 5000 damages against
Chief CT Police Conway and Police Of
ficer Painter. both of Moorestown, in
County Court at Mount Holly, for false
arrest early on the morning of October
z last on complaint of Car Conductor
Fred ClaypOole, who said Goodenough
was drunk and disorderly on his car.
The conductor failed to appear at the
hearing the next morning and Good
enough was discharged. But his feel
ings had been injured and he entered
suit for damages for false arrest. At
the trial Claypoole denied that he ac-
cused Goodenough of being drunk and
that he asked to have him arrested,
but it is said it has become known
since the trial that Claypoole told Of
ficer Severns, of Mounty Holly, on the
morning of the arrest, that he had a
man ''pinched' for being drunk, but he
wasn't going to lose his sleep to appear
against him, at the hearing, and the
officer who made the arrest could hus-i
tie for himself. Chief Conway testi-
fed that Officer Painter had nothing
10 do with the case, and did not even
lay his hands on Goodenough; but on
the testimony of the complainant that
both officers arrested him, they were
held to be equally guilty, although the
witnesses for the defendant testified
that Painter had nothing to do with
the man.

Dwarf Tomatoes.

Years ago my wife and thought

grow any of the bushy varieties that
go so much to vine.
Storms of wind and rain will
twist about the vines and expose the
fruit to sun-scald and rot from con-
tact with the soil in the bush kinds,
where the dwarf varieties are not at
all affected. Heavily MANFRED or ex-
cessively rich land cannot be success

plants, the tendency being a rank
growth of vine and light setting of
fruit or at least that ripening of
fruit is prevented by dense foliage

to perfect and mature ripening. The

type, may, on the contrary, be plant
ed in compost heap without such
troubles.

fertile soil and makes liberal appli-

has been that the richer we had the
soil the stronger and larger the main

find is increased in proportion to
