No town enterprise in this section of the
State has met with greater success than the
village Of Newbold, three miles north of
Woodbury.. Fifteen years ago the tract
was farm land, while to-day ills beauti-
full residence town of near one hundred
houses, with water works, gas, electric
lights, and fire protection. When this
record is compared with older towns it is
little less than remarkable
The stockholders in the Newbold I'M
proyement Company, in connection with
lot owners are now engaged in laying con-
crete walks on both sides of Highland ave-,
from the railroad to the river, a distance OF
at least half a mile, also on Station ave.
This work is being done by Sites & King
ston, contractors.
An advertisement on the eighth page Of
this paper calls attention Of the public to
the desirability of Newbold asa residence
town. This, we believe, is the first gener-
al effort to bring the advantages of New
I bold as residence town prominently before
the people, and we haYe no doubt will re-
suit in a new impetus to its growth. Chas.
R. Barker is the real estate agent at New.
bod, and to his enterprise is due this effori
to let the world know what good place

| The DONNELLY TRAIL. |
Prosecutor Starr Asks Verdict Of
Second Degree Murder.

| On June last John Donnelly ard his
mother, Mrs. Anna Donnelly, occupied
separate houses on Buck ST., Paulsboro,
the former as his home and the latter a
house opposite as a boarding house. sam'I
Donnelly, brother of John, was member
Of bis mothers household, and general
utility man. The families were on good
terms and visited each other On June 7,
John struck Samuel blow from which he
died the Tuesday following.
John was apprehended and at special
session Of the Grand Jury in July, a true
bill for murder was presented The trial
of this bill Of indictments was begun before
Justice Garrison and jury on Tuesday
The jury was quickly empanneled, and
qualified as follows:
Jubal Merchant, A. J. virgins, Elmer
Handle, Frank Frease, Warren A. RuloD,
Harry Glogger, VIM. P. Hallmaa, Howard
Walton, Edw. Green, VIM. Morgan, Will
mer Pierce, and Jos. E. Truncer.
Prosecutor Starr and assistant Rogers
represented the State and Watkins & Avis
are conducting the defense.
Prosecutor Starr in outlining the case to
the jury said he would ask for verdict Of
murder in the I'd degree.
/ The general concensus Of the testimony is
that on the morning Of June Z general
good tine'' was in progress with the
Donnelly 8 and their boarders on Buck St.
There was a box Of beer and some whisky
at Johns and the men went over.
Saml and John began playing crap
A difference soon arose over the correct way
Of playing the game; John picked hall
filled bottIeof beer from the floor and struck
his brother over the head with sufficient
force to break the bottle,
i Sanl'l walked home, blood flowing from
the wound on his head; he laid about the
house, and DR.. Laws was called in in the
AFTERNOON He found an indentation Of the
skull but no fracture. The trend Of the
defense seems to be that death was from
4 alcoholism, not from the blow. Tho case
will probably be concluded to-day.
