Dastard1v Attempt.


A most dastardly attempt to wreck two
of the Burlington County trolley cars on
their g. 30 and 9 o'clock trips Thursday
night. was only frustrated by the alertness
of the motormen Of the cars and the work
of Constable John Throckmorton, who
happened to be going to Mount Holly from
Locust Grove Park at the time. The SEN
sational attempt to wreck the cars occur
red at the Wood Lane crossing, where
stones as big as a mans head had been
wedged in the planking against the rails
at that point 1t was no fault of the ma
licious and mean minded persons who did
the deed, that the car run by motorman
Floyd Wilson and conductor Cliff Vansant
was not derailed and tumbled into the
ditch complete wreck. Nor was it any
thing short of miracle that saved the
next car, half an hour later. from being
toppled off the rails, as string of rocks
as large as base balls had been placed
along the two rails, which when struck
by the car almost sent 1t into the ditch
oAOnkoIOC ohC u nChcB AAOhA AobO IL
was saved only by the urgent application
of the air brakes. Both cars contained
considerable number of passengers. and
the matter was kept secret from them with
the hopes that the miscreants would make
the third attempt, but 1t was evident that
they had become scared over the failure of
their plans and had desisted in their at
tempts to wreck the cars for the time
being. Superintendent John S. Gilbert
of the company was apprised of the das-
tardly attempt on the cars and went to the
scene as quickly as he could get there.
He observed how cunningly the rocks had
been jammed into the crossing timbers
and concluded that no childish or inexper-
fenced hands had made the attempts on
the cars. Constable Throckmorton made
a thorough investigation of the neighbor-
ing territory, but in spite of the fact that
the wreckers had worked twice within the
passing of two cars, could not find anyone
about. 1t is supposed the work had been
done by tramps.

Thomas Lucas Killed.

The death of Thomas Lucas, of Mount
Holly, records the first fatal accident on
the line of the Burlington County Rail-
/ way Company. The last up trolley leav-
ing Rancocas Park at LII Sunday morn
ing, had proceeded but short distance
when the passengers were thrown into
confusion by the sudden stopping of the
car, all the air pressure having been APP
piled to the brakes and every possible
step taken to avoid striking the PROSTATE
form of man who was seen lying be-
tween the rails by Motorman William
Briggs. The car stopped so quickly that
passengers say the unfortunate man was
dragged only about two feet, but which
was sufficient to jam him between the
truck and motor boxes in such a manner
that jacks had to be used on the car to
extricate him. Lucas breast was crush
ed. the top of his head was cut. one ankle
was fractured and his neck was broken.
Conductor John Griefsu sent special
car after Superintendent John s. Gilbert
and DR.. William G. Parry, who soon ar
rived on the scene. The latter gave orders
for the body to be removed to Keeler's
morgue.
On Saturday night, Lucas boarded the
last car going west. which put up for the
night in the car barn at Hainesport. Con-
ductor WINS Russell did not want Lucas
for passenger, but the latter said he
knew what he was doing and wanted to go
to the dance. Getting off at Hainesport
Lucas said he would walk the rest of the
way. Russell cautioned him keep away
from the trolley track, and suggested that
he keep in the middle of the wagon road.
Lucas disobeyed this warning and it
proved to be his undoing Russell wanted
Lucas to forego his trip to the park, re.
main at Hainesport and return home on
the next car. but he wouldn't listen to the
proposition.
Coroner Grobler will hold an inquest on
this case at the Court House tomorrow.

sheriff Fenton Ont Of the Race.

0u611u GuLOu OuL VI Tue NdCSs
The following letter. which explains
itself, was given to the public on We'd
nesday of last week, through the Burling-
ton Enterprise:
Mount Holly, N. j., Aug. Z, 1905.
Burlington Enterprise -
A few days ago, at the solicitation of
friends living in different parts of the
county, announced myself as candidate
for the Republican nomination for Sheriff.
Since then have given the matter con-
siderable attention and have had reports
from various parts of the county. / find
that while many active and strong party
men were kind enough to assure me of
their support, yet l also find that many of
my friends have, before this, pledged
themselves to other candidates; rather than
embarrass them or cause the slightest dis
sension in our united party, have con-
cluded to withdraw as a candidate for the
nomination
l will be obliged to you if you will. in
my behalf, publicly announce my with
drawal and extend to my friends through
out the county my sincere appreciation of
their kindness and fidelity in the matter.
In order that there may be no misunder-
standing, l would also like it announced
that do not withdraw in the interest of
any candidate or candidates, and pledge
my aid to the election of the choice of the
Republican County convention, whomso-
ever he may be.
Very respectfully,
CHAs. r. FENToN.
THE News was aware, on Tuesday, that
Mr.. Fenton contemplated this step. but
did not announce it as it thought there
were others who would get more pleasure
in first making the announcement.
Sheriff Fenton went into the field for con-
sideration this fall by advice and desire of
friends from many parts of the county,
and he got out of his own volition against
the advice and desire of those who first
preached the subject to him. From the
time he made his first announcement up
to last Saturday he has been the recipient
of large number of letters pledging him
the strongest kind of support. His rea-
sons for withdrawal we're that. while he
had a reasonable show of success there
was no doubt that opposition would be
met in many places and he did not think
the feeling that might be engendered to
the possible detriment Of the other por-
tions of the ticket and the party at large
justified him in remaining in the contest.
1t is to his credit that he got out early.
He might have remained in the field and
complicated the situation, and he felt that
having decided to withdraw he should do
so that the other candidates would have
an intelligent idea of how matters stood.
In this it is felt by all that he has acted an
honorable part, and he has promised to
support in his heartiest manner, the choice
of the Republican convention, and those
who know him will not require any bond
on that score, for his loyalty to the party

A Saw Contains 200 Gems.

The Atkins saw works of this city,
says the indianapolis Sentinel, has
just completed a large saw contain.
ing 200 teeth, with a Brazilian .dia.
mond imbedded in each tooth. The
saw was shipped recently to Bedford,
to be used in one of the big
stone quarries there.
The saw is eight feet in diameter,
fve-sixteenths of an inch thick and
weighs almost half a ton. Instead of
having sharp teeth, this peculiar saw
has almost a smooth edge. Secured
across the edge Of the outer rim are
200 inserted steel holders; imbedded
in each is a large Brazilian diamond.
The diamond points compose the
teeth of the saw, which will be used
to cut Indiana limestone into desired
sizes.
The diamonds are about a karat in
size and are very dark. Each stone
is valued at $40. Two other saws, du-
plicates of the one completed, are in
the course of construction and repre-
sent a cost of $4,000.

THE AMERICAN TYPE
AS DISTINCTIVE, AS THAT OF
OTHER RACES.
prominent Features Of a Century or
More Ago Are Still in Evidence
Children Of Uncle Sam Easily Rec.
ognized.

There is as distinctive a type OF
American manhood as there is of any
other country. True, the American
people are a mixture. We combine
severa different races and bloods.
But the intermixtures has gone OIL so
gradually, the original American type
always prevalent. that the American
mar is a distinct representative of
civilization, differing from the English
man, the Frenchman and the German,
as much as these differ from each
other.
Examination of the portraits of rev
dictionary times and those of the pres
ent date show little if any difference
between the men of the earlier times
and those of the present day, save in
the matter of attire. Dress the peo-
pie of the present day as were
the people of the revolutionary epoch
appareled and nothing could be found
to establish a notable difference be-
tween the American, of to-day and the
American of the last quarter of the
eighteenth century. Food, climatic
conditions and occupations have all
much to do with the physical peculiar
tiles of a people. The races that have
for centuries received no admixture
OF foreign blood retain peculiarities
that eem Interchangeable.
What people eat and drink, their
dwelling places, the soil and climate
they inhabit, their worship, amuse-
ments and work all determine looks.
The American Indian when first met
on this continent by adventurous
Europeans lived almost exclusively on
a meat and fish diet, the product of
chase and other adventure. He was
tall, thin, muscular and daring. His
eye was bright, his hearing acute. He
looked the fearless being that he
really was. He had to fight wild
beast and savage man. He feared
neither. The early white settlers,
obliged by the peculiar conditions of
pioneer times to live in a measur
like the Indians, became also tall,
thin, muscular, daring. Their eyes
flashed with the fearlessness that
characterizes the American race OF
The present.
We have a more generous and va.
ried diet than our ancestors. Diet
affects personal appearances in
marked degree. We are becoming a
larger and heavier race, but the dis.
tinctive features of a century or more
ago are still in evidence. The Ameri.
can is easily recognizable everywhere
he goes in foreign lands. He will for
a long time present the same type
that to-day distinguishes him from
men of all other races.-Louisville

Of Wide Interest.

Breed, Wis, June 26.-Special.-
Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace
for Oconto Co.. has delivered a judg-
ment that is of interest to the whole
United States. Put briefly, that judg-
ment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best Kidney medicine on the market
today"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason
for this judgment. He says: Last
winter I had an aching pain in my
back which troubled me very much.
In the morning 1 could hardly straight
en- my back. 1 did not know what it
was, but an advertisement led me to
try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking
one box l can say that they have done
more for me than l expected as l feel
as we'll now as ever l did before"
Pain in the back is n of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may
develop into Bright's Disease, Dia-
betes, Rheumatism or some Of the
other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.
