DIR. &. ]. Whalen. the efficient Health
Commissioner Of Chicago, reported the
condemnation Of nearly four million
pounds OF meat during the four months
ending December 30, 1905.
Now 81 Per cent of these 100000
pounds were found to be afflicted with
tube rcrlOsls.
Every ounce Of these 4.OOOOOO
pounds belonged to the main carcass
and had passed government Inspection.
What about the hearts, ilvers. lights,
intestlnes, fats, blood, tripe and other
inside belongings of these tuberculosis
cattle from which 100000 pounds OF
tuberculosis ana cancerous meat were
fOnnd and condemned?
They were sold to the people ana

habit to use the carcases OF cancerOls

Mortgage Cancelled

The danger that De Forrest Frazier, of
Florence township, would have his farm
sold away from him under q mortgage
forty one years old that he never saw and
knew nothing about was overcome
by the signing of an order of cancellation
by Judge Joseph Gaskill and the generos-
ity of Charles Ellis, of Crosswicks, Mr..
Frazier's creditor and holder of the mort
gage, who consented that it be wiped out.
Mr.. Frazier bought the property In 1904
from Samuel Richardson, who represented
it to be free from incumbrance. No
search to investigate Mr. Richardson's
title was made until about year after
Frazier's purchase. when 1t was discovered
that there was an unpaid mortgage of
$4,000, given in 1866, from Wesley Clark,
one of the old owners of the farm, to Hud-
son Ellis, of Crosswicks, and that under
the terms of the document it had been as
sumed by every subsequent owner down
to Frazier.
No mention of the mortgage was made
In the inventory Of Hudson Ellis estate,
and Charles Ellis, nephew and sole sur
viving heir, did not know of Its existence
until 1t was revealed In his search recently
through some of his uncles old papers.
Upon its discovery Mr. Ellis, who is a
man of wealth, communicated with Frazier
and the application for cancellation grew
out of the investigation which followed,
and which showed that all the parties
connected with the original transaction
were dead.
The records show that the mortgage has
not been recognized for years, no interest
or principal having been paid on it since
long before the death of Hudson Ellis. the
original holder.

Court.

A warm weather session of court was
held on Saturday, and 1t was not profit
able day for Hugh LIE Jambre, a veterin-
airy surgeon. of Bordentown. who will be
put out of business because of his suit
against Richard Harrison, of Crosswicks,
to recover bill amounting TO $40. so. Mr..
Harrison had offered to settle for $50, but
this proposition was refused. Not being
satisfied because the veterinary had raised
the price of his visits to his cattle from
$3.50 to $3.50. the stock owner found
grounds upon which to fight the suit and
he won.
The hearing of the case was on appeal
from a decision rendered by Justice OF
the Peace Carly, and the grounds set
forth by Harrison were sustained by
Judge Gaskill Harrison will now escape
paying any portion of the amount claimed
in the bill.
From the evidence :in the case it was
learned that LIE Jambre, who has been
practicing his profession for many years,
udu never pdsscu Inc cXdmlnhClOn re-
quired by the State lBOard of Veterinar.
ians Neither has he complied with law
which allowed persons not approved by
this Board to practice If they had done SC
five years previous to the passage of the
act of 1889, and did within six months
thereafter appear before the county
Clerk, make affidavit of this fact, and
register their names with him. Because
of his failure to do this, lie Jambre was
therefore not entitled to practice without
certificate from the State Board
1t was also claimed that his practice
was unlawful, and for this reason LIE
Jambre cannot collect any fees for his
services.

Good News For Fishermen.

People who cannot get all the fishing
they want in Barnegat bay this summer
are hard to suit. Bluefish, weakfish,
striped bass. drumfish and barb have been
caught in greater numbers than last year.
People are having great sport in the inlet,
running back and forth from North Point
O. Beach to Sea Buoy. They catch all the
little blues from one to two pound weight
each that they want to take home.
Recently Lewis Barkslow, of Forked
River, had an angler out who wanted
drumfish, and he got them. One weighed
thirty pounds and another twenty five.
They were caught off North Point
P. Kelley, the Beers brothers, of New
York, and other anglers who try the bass
fishing from Forked River, report fine
catches of fish from one to six pounds
While bass fishing In the sunks and
sloughs of the east side they have also
brought in a number Of fine, big, yellow
filmed, Undermining weakfsh.
The bay is said to be alive with small
striped bass, about eight inches long, anC
weighing from half to three quarters Of
pound. They will not bite, no bal
having been found to suit them, but they
can be seen in large numbers in the still
clear water.
Most of the weakfish caught are of tn,
one-pound size, known as school fish, ant
are taken off the oyster beds, where they
feed. Boats are catching all the way
from one to 200.
Forked River fishermen have two rea
sons for the big number Of fish in the ba,
this year. First, they say the Harve,
Cedars fish pound being out Of business
the schools that it caught or else heade,

Florence.

William VanZant, aged 40 years, an
electrician, whose residence was In Cam
den, met with an accident here, Tuesday,
while at work In the new foundry that re-
suited In his death few hours later. He
was repairing some wires overhead in the
foundry and was sitting with his legs over
one of the tracks ON which the electric
bridge cranes run. Howard Bozarth, who
is learning to operate the crane, and was
not aware of Variants presence on the
tracks, started up the machine, which ran
over the mans legs, crushing one of them
and injuring the foot and ankle of the
other leg. DR.. Baird was hastily sum
moned and did what he could to ease the
injured mans sufferings and prepared hin
for removal to the Cooper Hospital, Il
