versational tone:
IF a cannon ball were fired from

The cannon ball would reach there

She begins to tremble, thinking his
mind is wandering He goes on:
And the sound of the explosion
would not be heard there for 1000, 900
years after the ball had struck. Isn't
science wonderful?'
He moves closer to her, but she
asks: Have you been drinking, Al.

suspects were arrested in connection
with the murder and robbery late
Thursday night of E. s. Jefferson,

this place. The latter said he was VII
liam Fox. huckster. He admitted
that he had been in Burlington, but de-
MED all knowledge of the murder His
story was straightforward, but he was
held by the Camden authorities to
await the arrival of the Burlington POI
lice. Akers also denies any knowledge
OF the crime. Posses have been scour-
ing the country hereabouts since mid
night, and description has been sent
out of a man who II is said, threatened
the grocer because he refused 10 give
him money, The man was a stranger
here.
Jefferson was murdered shortly be-
fore midnight while returning to his
home. He was strangled with sash
cord. and after the pockets of his
clothing had been ritled the body was
placed on the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, where it was struck by
a train.

When the Mississippi. Freezes.

Since 1870 there have been but six sea-
sons when the Mississippi did not
freeze over, these being the years
1873, 1875, 1882, 1891, 1902, and 1906.
The 30 times that it did close, the ice
stopped running 80 times in Deem
Der, showing that this is the month
when the heavy cold usually sets in.
The earliest date recorded is Decem.
Der 4, 1872, and the latest February

ice froze up tight and then moved

another to her long list of victories
over the Crimson. American football
between the two universities dates
from 1879, when Harvard defeated
Yale at New Haven by four goals and
four touchdowns to nothing. In the
twenty-six games which have follow
ed, today's contest being the twenty
eighth, Harvard has repeated that first
victory on three occasions only, while
Yale has carried off the honors in nine
teen matches. three meetings being
without result and q fourth forfeited
by Harvard. What wagers are report
ed have been almost entirely on the
size Of the score or on TIarvard's
chance of crossing Yale's goal line or
kicking a goal from the field.

handiwork of the members. a handsome
alarm board. painted in silver letters,
and the company's hose carriage,
which is being deliberately decorated
and repaired, were much admired.
Because this companys steamer was
rot in service when the experts made
the test, it was given no rating in the
report. Several tests at fires. however

have one Of the best engines in VIII
mington.
Members Were at Fault.
The Brandywine and Friendship ap-
paratus were both inspected at the
former company's engine house. The
Brandywine members freely admitted
that they were at fault because Of the
showing made by their engine. as the
Underwriters say. poor stoking was the
cause Of the low percentage made, but
Engineer Jacob Dresh said: We have
learned better and are now ready for
any test that any experts may desire to
put the engine to-"
There is little to say about the
Friendship eng ne, as according To the
rerort of the experts 1t made the best
showing Of any steamer iu the depart
ment. and the members Of No. 1 are
in consequence proud Of the machine.
Made Grave Mistake.
1t was with the Phoenix engine that
the experts made their greatest mis-
take, and incidentally splayed trace
Of ignorance Of fire engines. The aver
age first published in The Evening
Journal was n per cent Upon exami-
nation sometime afterward. the ex-
perts found they had figured the per-
centage on the steamer having a 3S-
inch heller, when in reality it had a
/ s4-inch one. Then they jumped the
percentage to 50, yet when the second
report appeared the percentage Of only

| Phoenix Company satisfactorily ex-
planned the workings of the engine. He
said that even with three outlets the
