z MOTHERS
CLAIM
A BOY

William Joseph Long, a nine yesrold
boy Of This city, is placed in an unusual
position.
He has double the usual amount Of
mothers, and almost anyone would say
that he is suffering from an embarrsss-
ment of riches.
One Of his mothers had the original
and natural claim, the other mother only
holds the claim by adoption. The boy
has spent two-thirds Of his life with his
mother by adoption, and It is only natural
that al arge share Of his boyish love and
trust should be reposed IN her.
At present the law says that his moth
er. is Mrs. Agnes NJ. Long who lives az
% Lester street, she having taken out
papers OF adoption and made his legal
custodian by an order Of the Municipal
court In August 1895
Al that time he was given the name
OF William Joseph Long His real moth
er is now Mrs Huldah Johnson Of ~
Tell street and for the past few years
the boy has been under her charge
There has been no open contest as yet
for the boy but both mothers fear that
some sort OF climax is approaching
Mrs Long Yesterday. with the idea of
issuing legal warning that would
stop any attempt to interfere with her
rights inserted the following advertise
ment I'm The Journal:
II hereby forbid anyone interfering or
troubling in any manner my legally
adopted son. William Joseph Long.
under penalty or the law
MRS. AGNES NJ LONG"
Mrs Long so far has legal rights IN
the boy
He was seven weeks old when taken in
charge by Mrs. Long and her husband,
Jesse Long. in 1896
A few weeks later the boy was adopted
For nearly six years after the mother
did not see the child
About ten days ago, with the consent
OF Mrs. Johnson, he went 10 Mrs. Long
for a few days with the understanding
that he was 20 go down 10 Westerly 10
stay with Mrs. Longs mother. He is I'm
Westerly now. Mrs. Long said she loves
the boy as n he were her own and wants
him to live with her
Mrs. Johnson has similar views on her
side. She said that Joseph had beeI.r
happy with her the last year and half
past. and that ~ she was his real mother
she ought 20 have him.

The greatest serial story of the year by
Louis Tracy, famous author of ''The
Wings of the Morning" and "The Pillar
of Light" will be exclusive to the readers
of the color magazine given free with each
copy of The PhiEadelbhiG Press, beginning
Sunday, March 20. The Sunday Magazine
will be the only publication in America
where this great story may be read. By
special arrangement with Mr. Edward ].
Clode, Mr. Tracy's American publisher,
this story will not appear in any other
published form until 1906.
England, Russia and America furnish
the principal characters in this remarkable
and timely story. Love and thrilling ad-
venture is the theme, as in all of Mr..
Tracy's most successful work. The action
begins with bomb thrown in London, an
Anarchist meeting in Tottenham Court
Road, some sensational disclosures in the
Russian colony in England, and then
shifts to the castle of Russian provincial
/ governor, or Little Gar, whose subjects
are in revolt at his intrigues. The plot
affords superb opportunity for a brilliant
display of the authors swift Imagination
and an almost equally interesting display
of his intimate knowledge of Russian life
of to-day.

the appointment of an assessor to fill the
unexpired term of the late Benjamin

been warm one. No less than fifteen Gang

the three candidates having the lead be-

after being deadlocked for time, finally

Court.


The will of Annie r. Wood, deceased,
was recently presented to Surrogate En-
dicott for probate by the Guarantee Trust
Company, of Philadelphia, which was
named as the executor. A careful exam
ination of the matter revealed the fact
that several clauses in the will were
found to have been erased or stricken out
by some one drawing pencil marks across
the writing. The Surrogate refused pro-
baton of the will because of its mutilat-
ed condition.
The matter was carried up to the Or
phans' court, on Saturday, and on motion
of George Gilbert, proctor for said petit
toner, an attempt was made to prove the
will and have it admitted to probate. Up
on hearing the testimony of several wit.
nesses, and on objections being filed to
the grant of letters testamentary by Eek
ard P. Budd, representing some of the
heirs of the deceased husband of Annie
R. Wood, the case was adjourned unit
next Saturday for further hearing. The
erasures were not made in the presence Of
the scrivener or subscribing witnesses
and the document will be admitted tt
probate unless there can be some test
mony to show that the erasures wer,
made by the decedent The present con
dition of the will affects the interests o

Charged With Assault.

As the result of trouble on the farm of
Mrs. George Fl. Haines, at Jacksonville,
on Saturday, there will be grievance for
the next grand jury to consider George
F. King has farmed the place on shares
during the past year. One of his hired
men is Thomas Quinn, who appeared be-
fore Justice Laumaster, Saturday, and
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
Frank Rigg, who is acting as agent for
Mrs Haines.
The disappearance of blanket which
was put on one of the horses and being
twitted about not feeding his cattle pro-
perly, started the trouble and the lie was
passed. Quinn alleges that while going
from the stable to the house Rigg
called him a liar and struck at him, the
blow being warded off. At this point
Henry Robinson, constable of Springfield
township, who was present, is alleged
to have caught hold of Quinn's arms
from behind and held him while
Rigg did the assaulting. Breaking away
from the officer Quinn delivered blow on
Riggs jaw. The injury sustained by
Quinn consisted of a black eye, two cuts
on the other eye, laceration of his lips,
in addition to his left thumb having been
bitten to the bone, wound which the at
tending physician says may prove serious
When Quinn appeared in Mount Holly he
was in hurry to find doctor and only
assault and battery was preferred against
well as complaint against Robinson for
assault.
! King and Mrs Haines reside in double
house, there being water only on the part
occupied by King, to which Mrs. Haiues
has access by agreement. When Robin
son went after some water Yesterday
morning, Annie Coyle, the hired girl,
would not let him in, her instructions
being to permit no one to enter that por-
ton of the house but Mrs. Haines Then

fear that Robinson wanted to get in, Mrs

the door, which the officer battered down
with an axe, and then Mrs Haines secured
the water. Rigg appeared before Justice
Laumaster this morning and entered bail
for his appearance at court.
A short time since King was arrested
on the charge of cruelty to animals. but
when Benjamin o. Herbert. of Mount
Holly, and other officers of the Societ y
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
made an investigation. they found that
King was feeding his cattle properly and
that they looked as well as those of any
of his neighbors. King says this suit was
only matter of spitework.
