Base Ball.

Pemberton and Vincentown will play at
the latter place on Saturday.
The Mount Holly Field Club will jour
ney to Tuckerton on the Fourth to cross
bats with the team of that place.
There will be two games of base ball at
Vincentown, on Thursday, between Vim
centown and Florence Rosebuds.
On Saturday the fist of series between
the Mount Holly and Medford base ball
teams will be played on the High street
grounds.
A game of base ball was played on the
High street grounds, on Friday morning,
when the Young Patriots put it on to the
Union A. c., by a score of to 2.
There will be two good games here on
the Fourth. The visitors will be the strong
amateur team, South Philadelphia. The
morning game will begin at 1915, after
noon. 8 30.
Sims. the fleet-footed outfielder of the
Mount Holly Field Club, has gone to Mt.
Clement, Michigan, for a stay of six
weeks, and his place in center field will be
a hard one to fill.
Rain prevented many games on Satur-
day. Mount Holly was in good shape for
the contest it had ON hand, and there was
general disappointment that the weather
did not give chance to show what could
be done
Medford will have its usual big time on
the Fourth, and there will be amusements
of all kinds from sunrise until late in the
evening. There will be two games of
base ball in which Florence will try to
beat the home team. Florence has always
been able to defeat Medford, although the
margin has been very small, still it was
enough to keep the Florence team in a
good humor and to prevent their going
off the grounds in a milf. Medford has
the strongest team the town has seen for
years, and it is quite likely that the result
will be different this year. Umpire Custis
will have to be very careful in his de-
cisions, and the extra officers recently APP
pointed to keep good order on the field will
do well to be right on the spot. In ad
dition to the other attractions the Medford
band will furnish music and there will be
lots of snapper soup.

interest has seldom been offered there.

tionalism, seance with the mysticism of
mind reading, genuine fun in some of the
cleverest comedy acts. and dainty singing
and dancing ensembles are on the bill.
Will Rogers, the dashing cowboy, who,
with his broncho and marvellous lariat
throwing created such sensation last
week, is retained for another week and
will vary bis program by still more
astounding feats with the lasso Another

Struck by a Trolley.


In the early morning hours Of Saturday.
a Mount Holly trolley car. running toward
the terminal, at Camden, crashed into a
loaded farm wagon at Third and Market
streets. Three men in the vehicle were
hurled to the street. The wagon was only
partly demolished, but the pair of mules,
which were drawing it. were badly bruised
and the contents, chiefly Strawberries,
were scattered about the asphalt.
In the Cooper Hospital are two of the
farmers. One of them is so badly injured
that it is feared that he will not recover.
The other man, while not so seriously in,
jured, is painfully bruised about the BODY
lacerated deeply on the head and perhaps
may have received internal injuries The
third man escaped harm.
The motorman, Samuel Griscom, and
William ]. May. the conductor, were ar
rested right after the accident They
were sent to the City Hall and arraigned
before Recorder Stackhouse. AS none
of the victims were able to appear at the
trial, the trolley crew were held under $500
bail for further hearing pending the re-
suits of the injuries of the farmers. Secur-
ity was furnished and the men discharged.
The car, which figured in the accident,
was due at the terminal at 0S o'clock. 1t
is called the newspaper car" and delivers
morning papers to points as far out as
Mount Holly. twas few minutes be-
fore O'Clock that the collision occurred.
The farm wagon was owned by Lorenz
NJ Emmons, age 25 years, CT Vincentown.
He and another farmer at the same place,
named Scott, owned the load of straw
berries that were being taken to market.
Scott had two hired men to accompany EN-
mons and one of them, who was injured,
is still unidentified. Emmons does not
know the man. name as he has been work
ing for Scott but short time and came
from Philadelphia.
Both the wagon and the car were making
their way to the ferryhouse. The trolley
was moving along at good clip. 1t was
just at time when the rain began to fall
and the rails were covered with sticky
dampness. Witnesses, who saw the ac-
cident, say that the motorman was sending
the car along at a fast rate and that when
the wagon showed in the path of the head |
light, the motorman lost control of the car |
Others say that the rails were too slippery
for him to stop at short notice.
When the collision came the rear of the |
wagon was lifted into the air and the men |
jolted forward to the street. 1t was all |
done in a second or two. The team was
then pushed toward the sidewalk and the |
crates of berries thrown off the shelving |
The mules were slightly injured, but not |
not seriously enough to stop them from
hauling the wagon away
The crew of the car was arrested by |
Nowrey, who was there at the
time

SOME DUMB ANIMALS ARE WISE AS
HIIMAN

Marvellous Elephants, Too, AS Well AS
Educated Horses. Make a Big Hit with the
Van Amburg Shows Audiences.
| Not all the many sides of interest of q
pilgrimage is seen upon the bills. Could
our readers but follow the magnificent
horses all day as they go about the show
grounds they would be surprised by the
revelation of horse sense.
There are to be united with the Van
Amburg Shows almost 300 head of horses,
and they are all beauties, perfectly love
ly." Each of these horses can find the car
in which it travels at night and can find
its proper STALL In the morning when the
train is unloaded it knows where to go and
where to stand 1t knows when its cage
or den is ready to be taken to the ground;
it sizes up the situation and where its
load should be taken. The horse will find
It's proper place in the big horse tents, and
when the parade is ready it knows where
1t should fall in. The circus horses know
as much about the performance as do the
people with the show. 1t has been claim
ed, and it is probably true, that the ring
and the performing horses know when they
will be needed in the ring, that they can
tell by the music of the band
The circus horses know when to pull
and when to lie down. they know how to
stand up in moving car and they know
how to hurry in case of storm They
can do everything but talk
To select the kind of horses which have
given the Great Van Amburg Shows a
national reputation for having the finest
horses of any show on earth, much time,
intelligence, patience and perseverance
was required For the baggage and heavy
work the Percheron type of draft horse
was selected, and for the hippodrome races
was chosen thirty clean-cut Kentucky
thoroughbred runners. Each year new
stock is selected, always from the same
breeds, and those that had been SCARED,
blemished or injured are culled out.
The mating up of the different teams is
an object lesson to the eye, uniformity of
size. color and style always predominating
When to the 300 head of beautiful black,
dapple grey and bay horses is added the
sixty eight cute Shetland ponies, it is not
strange that the lengthy street parade of
the Van Amburg Shows is most imposing
and pleasing sight.
When the Great Van Amburg Shows
exhibit here, citizens will not only find the
circus aud menagerie exceedingly worthy
OF their patronage, but they will find that
the Van Amburg Horse Stables compose a
veritable horse fair and they should always
be visited. The visitors should not ask
what becomes of these horses if they be-
come crippled, as they will be displeased
with the answer, which is that they are
fed to the animals The big show comes
to Mount Holly next Tuesday, July9.

Another Trolley Victim.

@AAOSA(A AAOAACJ NA(lAAAs
In head-on collision at $50 o'clock
Sunday night between trolley car No. 300
west-bound and buggy east-bound con-
tanning two men. brothers, one was literally
ground to bits and the other so badly in
jured that his life is despaired of at
Cooper Hospital
The dead man is John Pfrom, aged 80
years, of Westfield, this county.
The injured man is George Pfrom, aged
81 years. He is suffering from internal
injuries, lacerated arm, scalp and con
tusions of the body and legs.
The motorman, John Pierce, one of the
oldest,in point of service, and most capable
in the employ of the Public Service Cor
poration, collapsed Immediately after the
accident. He was taken home In a cab
and is still under the care of physician.
Prosecutor Scovel and Coroner Fithian
are conducting rigid investigation to fix
the responsibility for the accident
There are many versions of how the ac-
cident occurred, but the statements of
w IAuCnLlC anu JuC leave
no doubt as TO the cause Kuenzle says
that the car came along at fair rate of
speed without the searchlight, which is
always used until Federal street bridge is
reached, working.
That when within a short distance of
the team the light went on with almost
dazzling brillancy and by its first rays he
saw the team on the inbound track, headed
toward the incoming car, and the driver
doing his best to get the team out of the
way. An instant later the collision took
place.
Motorman Pierce immediately after the
accident and while laboring under great
excitement, said that he had been working
in constant dread and fear of an accident
for week. For several days he said that
it did not make bit of difference whether
he was running at high rate of speed or
whether he was going along at slow
pace suddenly something would loom up
on the track and he would put on the full
force of the brakes to prevent killing
some one, only to find that it was case of
nerves.
| Pierce stated that he did not see the
team and the two men until the car struck
the buggy, and then he applied the reverse
and the full force of air, bringing the car
to such a sudden stop that some of the
passengers were thrown violently forward
in their seats.
| The younger man was found unconscious
by the roadside and bleeding profusely
from wounds in his head, and he was
hustled with all speed to the hospital
The elder brothers body, or what was left
of it, was found wedged between the car
tracks, while by the aid of matches horri-
fed passengers found bits of flesh, cloth
ing and brains strewn along the track
The big wrecker was sent for and it took
nearly an hour to ''jack" the car so that
Pfrom's remains could be taken out
What was left of the body, was wrapped
up in big cloth by Coroner Fithian and
Morgue Keeper O'Brien, placed in box
and taken to the Morgue.
In the meantime trolley employees by
lantern light thoroughly inspected the
track and with broom and shovel collected
| every bit of flesh, brains and clothine
they could find.
