A difficulty occurred last Sat-
urday afternoon at the machine
shops of the Lancaster Cotton
Mills between Mr.. George Barn
hill, who works in the shop, and
Messrs Bob and Henry Began,
brothers, in which Bob Began
was seriously, if not fatally,
hurt.
AS far as can be learned, it
appears that the trouble was due
to MIR. Barnhill's calling the at.
tention of the Bogans TO the fac
that it is against the rules of the
company for any drinking to be
done in the shops, which was
resented by the brothers.
They started, it is said, to at.
tack Mr.. BarnhiIl, one of them
having a knife, when he called
on Mr.. Dave Hardin, who was
present, to stop them. MIR.
Hardin seized one OF the men.
Henry, but the other brother,
Bob, continued ID advance on
Mr.. Barnhill, who backed up
into corner, and having re-
treated as far as he could, he
struck his assallaut on the
head with a hammer, crushing
his skull.
Immediately after the diff.
Guilty Mr.. Barnhill came up
town and surrendered, being
placed in jail. The wounded
man was promptly attended by
Drs. Crawford and Brown, who
had been sent for. Saturday
night Mr.. Began was taken on a
motor car to Chester to the Pry-
or hospital, DR.. Brown and 9th.
ers accompanying him. While
his condition is critical, there is
a chance of his recovery.

Interesting Letter from Rep
resentative Hamel---What
the Legislature has Done
this Week.
Intended for last Saturdays
issue
Editor Lancaster News:
Promptly at the hour of high
noon on Tuesday last the present
session of the legis lature was
convened. Senator Hough and
Representative Foster and nv
sell were all on hand to respond
to the first roll call. There was
a very good attendance for the
first days session and the legis-
lature went right down to work
from the very start.
One of the first measures to
pass was a concurrent resolution
offered simultaneously in the
Honse by Representative Rich
ards of Kershaw county, and in
the Senate by Senator Hough, OF
Lancaster. Its purpose was to
permit the introduction of bill
granting a special charter to the
Southern Granite Co. of Lancas-
ter county, to build and opera te
railroad from Heath Springs to
Magill. l apprehend no Difficult.
ty whatever in the passage of the
Bill TO grant the charter.
A matter of general interest to
the state was bill by, Mr.. Arderv.
OF York county, providing for the
sale of the State farms, but the
Legislature took the position that
the farming by the State was not
In competition with farmers, as
the crops produced there could
not affect the markets in the
slightest degree. But, on the
other hand they would contribute
materially to the maintenance
OF the convicts and put a surplus

healthful employment to convict
ed criminals. The bill was there
fore killed.
The bill of your correspondent,
providing for the transportation of
crImioais under sentence of capi

The bill we believe had merit in

AVALON BOOMING!

You may not know that since most of the ground on Seven Mile
Beach at Avalon, New Jersey, has been purchased by a syndicate of
Atlantic City capitalists, among whom are John /. Young, ex- Judge
Joseph Thompson, George and James Bew, and many others of Allan
tic City, extensive Improvements are being made Contracts have
been awarded for a mile and a half of new graveled streets and ave
nues, and the work is now progressing. Also contracts for 3 miles of
cement concrete curbng have been made, and as soon as the weather
permits, three miles of cement sidewalks will be constructed. More
than 1000 feet of water pipes have been laid this winter The Bor-
ough Council lis now having plans and specifications drawn for an ell
ecrc light plant, and at least six good cottages are being built this
Spring.
Remember that Avalon is a Municipal Borough that is practically
out of debt, its waterworks being worth as much as its bonded debt.
Avalon has no floating debt, and has a cash balance in the treasury.
Taxes are lower at Avalon than at any other seaside resort in Cape
May County.
The Avalon Improvement Company are now offering the stock of
a new company to be known as Avalon Summit improvement Com
pany, for the purchase of a section of Seven Mile Beach, which is the
highest ground on any of the island beaches in Cape MAY County.
Sand hills on this tract are IS feet above the level of high water. Long
Reach Thorofare runs within 100 yards of these sand hills. All along
this thorofare boathouse lots have been laid out. The fact that any
one can take a boat a few hundred feet from the highest and best lots,
will always be a leading attraction to this tract of ground.
While this is the very best piece of seashore property ever offered
to investors, we are offering it at a price that would have been cheap
20 years ago, when the other beach resorts in Cape May County were
just starting.
If you have. missed all the opportunities of the past to invest in
seashore property, do not fail to embrace this one.
