arthur ID. coward, OF New Egypt, was
among those licensed by the State Board
of Medical Examiners, on Wednesday, to
practice medicine in New Jersey.
In the midst of the merry-making at the
harvest home of the Methodist Church
here on Tuesday night, Dr. George W.
Chamberlain, who was assisting in the
entertainment, gave gasp and fell dead
from heart disease, creating great sensa-
ton in the crowd. DR.. Chamberlain was
one of the Unknown dentists in this
section. He was also a director of the
National Bank, secretary of the School
Board and for several years the financial
secretary of the local Council of the
Junior Mechanics and of the Golden
Eagles
In the Supreme court in Camden last
week, Judge Garrison in the case of
Schlicher VS.. Hammel, ordered the capias
quashed and set aside the bail with costs
upon the plaintiff Hammel, a New
Egypt butcher, was imprisoned last April
alleging fraud, etc, in business dealings
with Trenton packing house. He i'm
mediatelY gave bonds and was released
pending the action of the Supreme court.
1t is reported that he will commence suit
for 49, 900 damages for false Imprisonment
through his attorney, John Meirs of Cam
den.
James Tristran, of Pennington Semin-
airy, in attempting to catch the late train
as it pulled away from the New Egypt
station on Saturday night, missed his hold
with one hand and was swung under the
rapidly moving train. Luckily his foot
caught on one of the axle braces between
the wheels, and he was carried over
hundred feet in this position, with one
foot under the train the other dragging
the ground. At the end of the platform
be was thrown violently to one side, badly
mangled and with several bones broken.
At special meeting of the Board of
Trade Saturday morning it was decided
to hold the Lake Carnival on August H.
There will be about fifty launches, yachts
and row boats entered and handsome
silver cup awaits the boat which makes
the most pleasing appearance. At a
rough estimate it is presumed that several
hundred dollars will be expended by
owners of the boats on decorations alone,
while the Board of Trade will spend a
large amount in decorating the shores of
the beautiful Oaktord Lake at New Egypt,
where the affair will be held. This gigan-
tic boat parade will be over three miles
long, and will be represented by boats
brought from all parts Of the four adjoin-
ing counties. Last year about 5000 people
witnessed the display, which was pro-
nounced one of the finest ever given in
New Jersey.

Eluded the Marshal.

United States Marshal Alcott was foiled
in his attempt to seize the famous fishing
boat Emma B. at Asbury Park Thursday
by Harry Maddox, half owner of the
vessel. learning of the contemplated visit
of the marshal and ordering the boat run
out of the Jurisdiction of the court.
The plaintiff in the case desired the
Marshal to go on board the boat and seize
her, but he declined this proposition, so it
was decided to bring tug down from
New York, run alongside the yacht and
make the seizure, but before this was
done the Emma B. had gone beyond the
MarshaPs jurisdiction.
A libel was filed in the United States
district court against the Emma B. by
Henry F. Pierce, half owner of the boat,
who maintains that Maddox has used the
vessel to convey fishing excursions from
Asbury Park since 1902 and that he has
retained the greater portion of the earn
ings. Pierce desires to have the boat sold,
and the proceeds divided.
Pierce claims that through the actions
of his partner he is unable to dispose of
his interest in the boat.
Harry Maddox, who has been running
the boat, was formerly well known in the
bicycle world, being crack track rider
He claims that Pierce is conducting a
business in opposition to him.
Maddox, in company with his counsel,
was in Trenton Friday afternoon for
the purpose of filing a guarantee bond
for the release Of the boat. Judges Ian
ming and Cross were both absent at the
time, and the men left for Belmar, the
summer residence of Judge Lanning, in
the hope of finding him there

The Keystone team will play the Med

there dropped two games to Florence

town is in mourning for few days.

Is cents.
Mount Holly A. A. and Burlington
played two games of ball on the Fourth.
Mount Holly won the morning game,
played at Burlington, by the score of 3 to
1. Parker's pitching for Mount Holly
was the feature. In the afternoon game
at Mount Holly, the home team put up a
poor exhibition of ball playing and lost, 16
to 5.
Medford defeated Mount Holly A. A. on
Saturday by the the score of 6 to 5. The
game was comedy of errors by both
teams. By the exercise of some common
sense in base running, Medford's score
would have been larger. For instance, in
one inning Medford made six successive
clean hits, all of which netted but one run.
Clements, Mount Holly's catcher, failed
to appear, and didnot send word until that
afternoon that he could not come. This
crippled the Mount Holly club consider
ably. Haines, catcher for the Mount
Holly A. c., was induced to take the
position, and filled it as creditably as could
be expected.
Notwithstanding the stupid playing, the
game was close and interesting. The
visitors made two runs in the ninth inning,
which won the game.

Town Tonnes.

A petition is being circulated request
ing the Northampton Township Commit
tee to include in its annual appropriation
sum not exceeding $3.50 for flushing the
raceway below Mill street
The Mount Holly Water Company,
which recently bought the water rights
and power of the upper creek from the
Public Service Corporation, proposes to
erect dam to replace the one washed
away in 1901. This dam will be only of
sufficient height to guarantee at all times
head of water for the easy pumping of
the towns water supply probably four
feet Incidentally, this height will send
small quantity of water through the race
way leading from the grist mill, but not
enough to do much good toward flushing
it.
The present condition of the raceway
must certainly be a menace to the public
health. An inspection of the waterway
now containing much refuse-will con-
vince any person that some remedy should
be obtained.
The Board of Health has grappled with |
the subject, has made some improvement |
by securing change of several sewer
connections formerly emptying into the
raceway, but there still remains much
room for improvement.
The persons circulating the petitions
have figured that the difference in cost
between erecting a dam of the former
height (about eight feet and the low one
proposed by the Water Company will be
about So, 900, the interest upon which will
be $3.50 per year. The scheme is to have
the Water Company erect the high dam
and pay them annually the interest upon
the increased cost, under the appropria-
ton for flushing sewers. 1t is just as i'm
portant from the standpoint of public
health to flush the raceway as it is to
flush the public sewer, which is and has
been done for years at the townships ex-
pense.
Some revenue would doubtless be OBJ
tanned from the boating privilege and ice
men if the high dam is built, which could
be applied toward decreasing the annual
appropriation.
Another argument-less important, per-
haps-but which interests many of the
people not living near the racewaY, is the
of the upper creek to its for
ner attractiveness for boating. At one
time the stream was considered one of the
features of the town. 1t was as fine {
stretch of water-with much natural !
oeauty-as could be found in this section

A boy employed in the store at the time

FOUR TOWNS STRUCK
SWEEPS OVER PORTION
OF ROSEBUD RESERVATION
IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Fairfax, S. D., July 14.-One of the
worst storms that ever visited the

person and the injury of eleven 9th
ers, two of whom may die.
At st. Hlmo three buildings We're de-
stroyed and Roy McFadden was

Elmo. ten buildings were destroyed.
The home of Mr.. Jensen was de-
molished, and Jensen, his wife and
baby seriously hurt. Mrs. Jensen and

five persons injured. They are Billy
Howell. George Custer, John Herrick,
Mrs. Hugh Coughlin and Captain

Three large buildings were unroofed
and several smaller ones destroyed at

The storm was severe over the en-
tire reservation and several inches of
water fell at the points which suffered
the worst. Much damage was done to
crops.
