among the speakers. Samuel Fort, of
Wrightstown, member of the executive
committee of the Milk Shippers Union,
said that every can of milk sold at the
present price brings a yearly revenue to

farmers In this state nearly 1900, 900

der which system the wholesale buyers of
milk in Philadelphia got from the New
Jersey farmers 10000 quarts of milk per
year that they did not pay for.

The loss of five dollars by the 12-year
old daughter of Mrs. Ella Powell, of
Water street, ON Wednesday afternoon,
came near getting Mrs. Noah Smith in
trouble. She is an honest and respecta-
BILE colored woman and was undoubtedly
falsely accused. At least this is the opin-
ion of Prosecutor Atkinson and Justice
Jamison. Mrs. Powell had given her
daughter the money to make purchase
at Karg's store. on King street, and when
she arrived there the money was gone. At
the draw bridge the girl cried over her
loss, when stranger asked what the
trouble was. Returning and walking half
a square with the girl the man said: THAT
