Fire at Mar1ton

Marlton had fire on Wednesday which
while it was subdued without doing much
damage, looked for a time as if it would
result very disastrously.
The fire was at the home of Mrs. r D.
Folwell, who, with her daughter, occupies
part of the corner property belonging
to the estate of ]. M. Brick, the lower
floor being used as q store. Miss Emma
Folwell arose early in the morn ing and
was attending to the household duties
when call from her mother-a lady of 90
years-caused Miss Folwell to hasten to
the room.
On opening the door she was Mortified
to find the room filled with smoke and the
floor ablaze. Miss Folwell gave an alarm
to the men in the store and they rushed tc
her assistance. Joseph Evans found Mrs
and he quickly carried her to place Of
safety. The other men paid their atten
ton to the fire and when the fire depart
ment arrived the flames had been subdued
The wind was blowing at rapid rate and
the extinguishing of the fire so speedily
certainly was greatly beneficial.
The draft for the stove In the store Il
gained by the stovepipe passing through
the floor of the upper room where tn,
outlet to the chimney is located Whethe
the fire caught from the pipe on Wednes
day morning or had been smouldering al
night has not been determined.
The fortunate ending of what for tim
looked like dangerous affair was quit
gratifying to all. Mrs. Folwell and he
daughter have taken up their residence a
the hotel until their new home on Locus
avenue is ready for them.

Medford.

Falling downstairs at the home of he1
daughter, Mrs. Phoebe Witcraft, aged 80
years, sustained painful bruises. Her
condition is serious
The question Of charging the public
school and adding high school course is
now engaging the consideration of the res
idents and taxpayers of Medford.
Medford has new choral society with
80 members DR.. W. P. Haines is chair
man. and Edmund P. Warner secretary
and treasurer. All persons in Medford
interested in music have been invited to
Join. A director win be engaged in Phil
adelphia.
Burlington County horse dealers are
getting high prices for their stock, and,
as the demand for good horses continues,
there is no prospect of break from the
high figures. The other day dealer at
Medford sold 81 horses at an average OF
1927. 70, and Moorestown dealer aver
aged $213. 90 for % Western horses.

Judgment Affirmed.

In an opinion filed Thursday by CHIEF
Justice Gummere in the court of errors
and appeals he affirmed the judgment Of
the supreme court in the case of Anna K
Holmes, administrative, against the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, to re-
cover from the defendant corporation the
pecuniary loss sustained by her through
the death of her husband, who was killed
In November, 1902, while attempting to
cross the tracks of the railroad In Beverly,
The first trial was in favor of the railroad.
The sole ground averred for charging
the defendant company with responsibility
for his death, was its failure to use reason.
BILE care in the operation of its train as il
approached the crossing at which he was
struck down. 1t was charged that the
trainmen had failed to comply with
statutory provisions requiring bell to be
rung or whistle to be blown when 9
train approaches highway crossing.
The engineer, fireman and brakeman OF
the train swore positively that the bell
was rung, while two witnesses for the
complainantin the trial court while assert
ing that they had not heard a signal of
any sort could not swear that signal had
not been given.
One of these witnesses was Mrs. vii.
merton who lived about half square from
the scene of the accident The chief
justice holds that the fact that Mrs. VIII.
merton lived in close proximity to the
railroad and that the passage of trains to
and fro upon it was matter of frequent
occurrence, rendered it quite unlikely
that she would notice whether bell upon
given train was being rung as it passed
along the neighborhood Of her house I'm.
less her attention was attracted to it al
the time.
"a person who lives in proximity to q
railroad where the passage of trains il
frequent, says the chief justice, becomes
so accustomed to the noise of their passage
that they no more notice the sound pro
duced by them as they move to and frc
than they do the striking of clock in 8
room in which they are accustomed to sit >
The chief justice therefore concurs in
the view taken by the trial Judge that
Mrs. Holmes had failed to sustain the
burden of proof to show that the bell was
not rung in the manner required by the
statutes and he sustains the decision of the
trial court.

GA ST q FRI a.
H..,.th. pThS Kind You Have Always Bought
Fair Stewards Meet.


The board of stewards of the Inter stat e
league of County Fairs met Saturday
afternoon at the Bingham House, Philadel-
phia, and perfected permanent organiza-
ton.
The deliberations of the assembly rep
resentatives were held behind closed doors.
Little else than the election of permanent
officers and fixing the annual dues for the
popular fair tracks in membership was
accomplished. The latter was made $40
each.
The permanent officers elected were
Benajah P. Wills, president, and Theodore
II. Coleman, secretary and treasurer.
The board of stewards due to control this
popular fair circuit are as follows:
G. P. Wentz, Scranton, Pa.
Theodore Fl. Coleman. Wilkesbarre, Pa,
and Richmond, Va.
J. Walter Lovatt, Bethlehem, Pa
J. r. Reinheimer, Nazareth, Pa.
Harry B. Schall and President Eckert,
of the Allentown fair.
]. Fred Margerum and L. P. Randall,
Trenton.
Horace B. Murphy, Scranton, Pa.
o. G. Warshime. Frederick, Md.
W. H. Howard, Hagerstown, Md.
Samuel w. Shinn, Mount Holly.
These fair officials agreed to mutually
support each other in the obtaining Of
entries, the regulation ot races and gen
eral promotion of the sport, and they will
accomplish much in the betterment O
racing conditions.
Prior to the adjournment of the fai
circuit stewards committee representing
the Professional Drivers Beneficial associa
ton were given hearing. The presiden
of the organization, Harry w. Davis
asked an endorsement of that association
novel effort to form new trotting congress
for the regulation and control of the sport
the intention being to break ava
from the parent bodies
Each was heard in turn after Presiden
Davis had made his Introductory remarks
Their cause met with approval, but pos
tive action upon the same was deferre
until subsequent meeting of the board {
stewards of the county fair circuits.

State Board of Taxation.

| S@AS( 0ONA0 Va = fA<AAlAOAAs
The State Board of Equalization G
Taxes will meet in the City Hall. Burling
ton, on Wednesday of next week, at 10. &c
to listen to appeals from decisions of tn
Burlington County Board.
Several appeals have been fled TIL
owners of property situate on the rive
front, Riverton. feel aggrieved at tn
judgments in their cases and nearly all O
them have asked the State Board to decide
There are also appeals from the decisions
on two or three river front properties a
Edgewater Park.
Mrs. Martin L. Haines, A. J. Rider
George F. Allowsy, George w. PATTERSON
and George 81. Wisham, are appellants in
Tabernacle township. Wisham is the as
SCISSOR, and the Burlington. County Board
after hearing evidence, came to the con
clusion that his property could be adj
vauced without detriment to him. The
Board had considerable trouble with Wish
am. When he came with his duplicate
he was unable to give information on som,
OF his acts and admitted that he had never
seen some of the properties t.e had assess
ed, and said that the figures reached il
one instance were the result of an agree
ment with the owner in return for services
at the time Tabernacle was separated
from Shamong.
In order to get proper valuations in
Tabernacle the County Board summoned
a member of the township committee and
private citizen to give evidence Wish.
am was also summoned to be present, but
he has never yet answered the summons.
In Southampton township Mrs. Sallie s.
Keen and William ]. Trick are the appel.
lants. Their grievance is that they were
assessed for properties as residences which
should have been valued as farm land.
Both of these people own farms In South
ampton. They rent portion to tenants
and reserve house and some acres for
their own use. They claim all this pro.
perty should be assessed as farm land and
be included in the valuation of the entire
farm. The Board held that there were
two distinct properties in these cases.
There are two cases from Northampton
John D. johnson and B. F. Haywood
Shreve.
The appeals from Tabernacle are all on
cranberry lands. and are the only appeals
on that kind of property.
Other questions will probably be dis
cussed at the meeting of the State Board
Owing to the late date at which the
County Board got to work there was not
time to perfect the system which the law
contemplates, and there were several
little bitches. Some of the assessors did
not discover that they were obliged to
follow certain rules and regulations, but
continued to work under the old manner
of do as you please" In two instances
the assessors paid no attention to the rate
fixed by the County Board but changed it
to suit their personal convenience. This
is serious matter and it is possible NAV
result to the detriment of the townships
interested.
