pleasurable that the citizens of Ogden
have ever had the opportunity to enjoy,
Ely is tributary to Ogden. The run

opportunity offered to 'look us over, y
but there are signs of awakening in
Zion and word comes from there that

The New Dam.

All doubt as to the intention of the
Mount Holly Water Company erecting a
dam on the upper creek has been dispelled
by the beginning of active operations, I'm.
der the direction of William H. Mason,
which are well under way.
Work is now in progress on the site of
the old dam, about 70 feet to the west of
the structure recently washed away. Mr..
Mason says this portion of the new i'm
provement, which VIZ constitute one third
of the dam, will be completed late in the
fall, and that the dam which will span the
creek, cannot be commenced until next
year.
The present structure is an annex to the
main dam, of which there will practically
be two, with an embankment of earth be-
tween them, which will be supported on
either side with stone walls.
The back water in the creek is being
held in check by Golfer dam, and to the
end of this will extend the sheeting. A
provision is being made for wheel pit,
into which three water wheels will be in
stalled, to be used, if occasion should
arise, at anytime, to utilize the water
power This portion of the dam will
contain gates to let off the excess of
water. 1t fronts on the mill race. down
which large body of water will flow
when the whole structure is completed.
In case the water is excessively high, the
opening of these gates will relieve the
pressure on the main dam.
Mr. Mason is now engaged in dismantel-
ing the work which he erected SO years
ago. If he finds the foundation in good
condition, this annex will be constructed
of very heavy timber, large quantity
suitable for the work being stored on the
saw mill lot on Pine street, which came
from the dismanteled mill. Mr.. Mason,
however, is of the opinion that the foun-
dation is not good, as it was put down go
years ago. If this proves to be the case,
this portion of the whole structure will be
constructed of cement

Suit for Divorce.

The sensational breach of promise sui
against DR.. Thomas s. Lippincott, of neal
Pottstown, and the equally startling tria
of the fair plaintiff, Blanche Nourse, an
Altoona nurse, charged by Lippincott
with setting fire to his barn when he re
fused to marry her, were revived in Court,
on Wednesday by the action brought by
his wife, who was then "the other woman
in the case, for divorce, counsel fees and
costs.
1t is in evidence that Lippincott had
just been divorced from wife when Miss
Nourse answered his personal advertise
ment for companion with matrimonial
intentions. Miss Nourse didn't land him,
but Miss Viola White of Mount Holly did.
The latter is sorry now, and charges that
he subjected her to various indignities and
cruelties and that she was obliged to
leave him with her baby in arms. She
claims that as Lippincott owns $4,000
farm and other personal property he
should pay her s. a week for maintenance
of herself and child, and in addition 500
for counsel fees and 800 for expenses in
the divorce proceedings.
DR.. Lippincott denied that his wife had
just cause for quitting his home, alleging
she was influenced to do so by her rela-
tions, and lone other person" from I'M
worthy and improper motives, He further
declared that his farm is assessed at $4,000
and is encountered to the extent of $2417,
and that he owns nothing, except farming
implements to the value of $500.

and was in his usual snappy form. He
has given his services to Medford all the
season and they showed their appreciation
by presenting him with gold watch and
chain.

singing defeat to the team of that place
by the score of A to3. Herbert House, the
Navy boys pitcher, had the Vincentown

and allowing them only hits.
Gusts, the crack umpire, whose decis-
ions Medford has sworn by for several
seasons, is down and out with the base

Medford and Mount Holly had a royal
