Burned to Death.

Caleb Brown, colored man 70 years Of
age, met his death Saturday night by burn
ing. He had no home and had been al
lowed by Elijah Anderson to occupy a
room over the latter's, stables, corner OF
High and Federal streets, Burlington.
On Saturday evening Brown went to the
stables but was not able to get into his
room, the door being locked and he had
lost the key. Mr.. Anderson went to
his aid and succeeded in letting him in.
The old man said he was not feeling
well. Mr.. Anderson went down among
his horses and while working around he
heard noise up in Browns room.
Thinking perhaps the old man needed
assistance Anderson went up stairs and
was Mortified to find Brown running
around, his clothing, what was left of it,
being in blaze ON the floor, having been
burned completely from Browns body.
Mr.. Anderson fought the flames with his
hands and tore off the remaining clothes.
DR.. Blair was Immediately called and did

on Sunday morning.
How the fire originated is a matter of
surmise 1t is thought Brown attempted
to light his lamp or start fire in the steve
he had in the room and while so engaged
his clothing caught on fire. On table
on which the lamp was placed was some
uncooked meat resting on several thick
nesses of newspaper that had been spread
out as covering for the table. The
paper had been on fire, but burned itself
out without communicating the flames to
any other part.
Mr.. Anderson is suffering considerably
from the burns received while trying to
save the mans life by beating out the
flames of the blazing clothing, every fin.
ger on either hand being mass of blis-
tiers.

Value Fixed.

Commissioners Henry j. Trick, Henry
P. Thorn and Charles B. Ballinger, APP
pointed by the Court to determine the
value of the Burlington county end OF
the Moorestown and Camden turnpike.
with a view to its acquisition by the
county under the state aid act, have fixed
the total value at $22, 3O441.
Several years ago, when the Board of
Freeholders sought to acquire the turn
pike, the price fixed by the company was
$4,000. When the proposition was sub
mitted to the Camden county Freeholders
they declined to enter into the purchase.
Burlington county then offered to pay the
pro rata tax of $17,6 for its portion. but
this offer was refused.
There was no relief from this situation
until last winter, when Speaker Robbins
succeeded in having passed law that
permitted the acquisition of turnpike
roads by condemnation.

Iicense Withheld

Commissioner of MotorVehicles j. B. r
Smith. of Trenton, has sent notice to tn
office of a New York newspaper demand
ing an explanation of the rufnor that they
delivered papers in Atlantic City in an
automobile that left Camden and made
the run to the seashore in record fractur
ing time. All people ir this State who
were connected in any way with this re-
markable speed run have been put under
the ban and will not be granted license
or certificate.
The auto, a forty-horse power machine,
was used to carry the late editions of the
metropolitan publication to the seashore
resort from the Broad Street Station in
Philadelphia, to which depot they were
taken by train.
What caused all the trouble was the fact
that after the vehicle had made the run
from Camden to Atlantic City in sixty
nine minutes, the newspaper came out
with an article, boasting of the remarkable
time made and what they were trying to
do for their subscribers at Atlantic City.
This was seen by Commissioner Smith
Lacey Potter. famous for his daredevil
drying in the Vanderbilt Cup races. was
at the wheel of the newspaper auto As
the time showed that the speed was nearly
mile minute, which is 10 violation of
the speed laws, and as Potter is not licens
ed in this State the trouble is that much
more complicated.
Because of this all persons connected
with the publishing company have been
debarred from having license in this
State. Notices to this effect have been
sent to all agents throughout the State.
The matter now rests until some reply is
made to the letter sent by Commissioner
Smith.

Richard B. Eckman filed exceptions to

The Burlington County Safe Deposit
and Trust Company, trustee, asked for
authority to reinvest funds belonging to
the estate of Emma s. Doughten, de-
ceased, of Moorestown.
A recess was taken for private consul
tation over the case of a colored boy, of
Moorestown, aged 10 years, now confined
In jail, against whom there are two serious
charges No action was taken.
The application of counsel for fee of
$1,000 in settling an estate valued at $94,.
600, brought forth a few remarks from
the court for the guidance of the legal
fraternity, matter which had been un-
der consideration for some time.
Judge Horner said it was his desire to
deal fairly with the people and those in
terested in estates. In many cases 1t was
impossible for the court to know how
much work had been done in some partic-
ular cases. and the Judge thought it would
be good idea for counsel to discuss with
the accountant as to what fee would he
proper, which would be of much guidance
to the court
Judge Horner said he thought counsel
should be properly paid, but he did
not want the impression to go out that the
court was allowing exorbitant fees. In
some counties of the state counsel are
obliged to get their fees approved by the
executor of the estate Judge Horner
made reference to times when he had oc-
casion to increase the fees of counsel be-
cause of their modesty, and at other times
he had cut down the sum asked for. In
most cases, however, the court has ac
cepted the claim of counsel.
An order was signed for the discharge
OF second mortgage of 800 on a pro-
perty in Lumberton, formerly owned by
Joseph R. Lippincott. George M. Hill
man called several witnesses to show that
the Indebtedness had been paid, and that
diligent search had failed to find the bond
and mortgage, which had been given
several years ago.
Aaron McClough and daughter Mary,
colored. of Bordentown, were committed
to the Burlington County Insane Asylum
at New Lisbon.
The report of William A. Slaughter
probation officer, which was approved by
Judge Horner, contained the names of
forty-one persons upon whom sentence
had been suspended. The standing of
nearly all of them was shown to be excel |
lent. The time of two or three is about
to expire, and they will be released at the |
next session of court, to be held on Thurs |
day. April 10. One prisoner is in the jail |
who will be punished for violating his
parole.

Get a Permit.

Few persons know that it is necessary to
get apermit before burning brush but some
residents of the county have discover
ed the fact and paid something to gain the
knowledge. Under law recently passed
by the New Jersey Legislature it is neces-
sary to get a permit from deputy fire
warden and failure to do so is liable to
bring fine ranging from $50 to $500.
Two residents of Tabernacle are reported
to have started fires in brush heaps with
out getting the required permit and con-
sequently each are out $50. Other arrests
are expected. In one case it is reported
that fire was deliberately started in the
brush near Bozarthtown in Southampton
township and but for the earnest efforts of
deputy fire warden Moore a residence
and the school house near by would have
been destroyed.
