Resignation of Mr.. Heb.

A meeting of the county committee Of
the Y M. C. A, of Burlington county
was held on Tuesday evening at the resi-
dence of the chairman, DR.. Atwood, al
Mount Holly. The most important bust
ness transacted was the resignation of the
county secretary, Louis Heb, and the en-
gagement of Ross S. McCown, of Pitts
burg, Pa, to fill the vacancy. The resig.
nation of Mr.. Heb was not surprise to
the committee, his letter having been in
their hands six weeks. The only reason
for rendering it is the i'll health of Mrs.
Heb, and the advice of her physician
that she seek dryer climate on account
of her throat.
Ross McCown, the secretary elect is a
recent graduate of Westminster College,
Pa, where he was president of the Stu.
dent Association, leader of the foot ball
contingent and general leader of the
usual student activities. He comes tc
Burlington county with the highest testi
monials for the work before him. Mr.
Heb and Mr.. McCown spent the greater
part of the week in visiting the variou:
points in the county, and the impression
made by the new secretary upon the loca
workers is very tiattering to him. He has
returned to Pittsburg. but will take VI

Died from Heart Failure.

Heart failure is attributable for the
death of Joseph E. Airrison, a Philadel-
phian, in the Delaware River at Edge
water Park late Thursday night.
The man was in swimming with several
companions when he felt that he had gone
into the water beyond his depth and fear
OF drowning brought on weakness OF
the heart action, causing him to sink
The coroner gave a verdict of death
from heart failure, and not from drown
ing
Airrison was young man, rs years old,
and had been summering at the Edge
water Villa, at the Park, with his wife
and two children. 1t had been his custom
to go upon the river about midnight for a
swim. He was not an expert swimmer,
but always before remained close to the
shore and felt safe in not going into deep
water.
Thursday night he went out in row.
boat and was accompanied by Simon SEES
rolf and Joseph Siegel, the latter lad of
II years. They had all jumped from the
side of the boat, and then Airrison
learned that he was in deep water.
He made an effort to get to the boat and
found that he could net reach it. The
fear of drowning took possession of the
man, and in terror he struggled in the
water and cried for help.

and could not reach Airrisons side, but
Siegel was near at hand and made brave
effort to help the sinking man. He held
him up for a short period, but Airrison
sank. When he reappeared upon the
surface Siegel made another effort to save
his friend, but the latter struggled so
wildly that Siegel was compelled to drop
his hold and Airrison again sank His
body did not come to the top again, and
Siegel and Sesroff quickly rowed to the
shore and aroused the people in and about
the summer resort.
Word was sent to Beverly, and Thomas
Jones and Abe Brooks rowed to the scene
with graphing hooks. After a short
search they recovered the:body of Airri
son. DR.. Tracy, of Beverly, had also
been summoned, and he examined the
body. He said that Airrison's death had
been caused by heart failure brought
about by fright.
Coroner Deworth, of Bordentown, gave
a verdict in accordance with the doctors
finding, adding that the death was acct

shell flying at great rate. He referred
to many things the Republican party had
done which he thought were real naughty,
and which makes him shudder when he
calls himself Republican, and he settled
all doubt as to his political proclivities
when he said 81 am not member of the
Republican party of today and l cannot
be Democrat, but, by God, am an In
dependent. He repeated statement
made in Newark some time since that the
present mental condition of Postmaster
Hays was due to the strain he was under
in trying to secure his reappointment, and
also rehashed fact that is ne secret, that
one of the county judges is counsel for a
railroad company. He again averred his
intention of not making a speech at this
time and reminded his hearers that he
''has a lot of hot staff bottled up for the
next meeting"
Chairman Wildes thanked the audience
for its attention and the reception accord
ed the speakers. He said the representa-
tives of the NEW ideas" were well salts
fed with their first effort and then the
meeting adjourned
