At Burlington, yesterday, a leak in the
gasoline tank of big touring car run
by Riverton residents and a lighted
match thrown into the road near. the ma
chine started an exciting blaze on Main
street. Women occupying the Car scram-
bled out, and the flames were quenched
by Frank Tichenor, local photographer,
who came to the rescue with fire extin-
guisher.
Lightning did considerable damage on
the farm of Noah N. Gaskill, at Julius
town, Saturday afternoon. Three barns
and other outbuildings, including part of
their contents, were consumed, causing a
loss of about $4,000, on which there is /,
partial insurance. Mr. Gaskill was in
Pemberton when the fire broke out. Con-
siderable hail fell from the storm which
passed over that section.
The rate of speed used by many auto ,
mobiles on Mount Holly streets is beyond
the legal limit, and it is probable there
will be some arrests unless the law is re- :
spected. Some of the automobile drivers )
possibly do not realize the speed they are
while others do not care. Chief
of Police Branson has received circular
letter from the State Department on this ,
subject, and it is rumored that rigid meas :
ures will be instituted to have the law ,
observed.
Owing to the rule of the State Board of {
Education requiring four years course {
in the Mount Holly High School, there |
was not any graduating class this year, 5
so the pupils thought they would have
some event to take the place of the usual !
commencement So on Thursday even
ing they gave two farces, and rendered
them in manner not only creditable to
themselves, but which would compare ia
vorablY with those who are accustomed to {
frequently appearing on the public plat {
form. The youthful performers were
heartily applauded, and were warmly con-
graduated upon the success of their first
theatrical attempt.
Joseph Kobersky, of Riverside, thought
by his friends and the police to
have been murdered. was located on
Saturday in Philadelphia, thus dis
pelling the mystery which excited
the town and bringing the release of the
three suspects who were arrested in con
nection with the case. The police are still
after Stanley Patchebuska who escaped
by jumping out of a factory window. He
is said to have struck Kobersky with a
black jack. 1t was after this fight that
Kobersky fed to Philadelphia, where he
was laid up from his injuries. An effort
will be made to have him return and APP
pear as a witness against Patchebuska.
Whatever may have been the history of
Newark Pat has perhaps been lost to
posterity. That such a person existed,
however was revealed few days since
by the discovery of symbolisms on the
ancient walls at the county jail, which
have been hidden from view for a gener-
alton. Newark Pat" was a member of |
the hobo fraternity, and no doubt he had |
record among the Burlington county |
farmers Nothing is known of him at the |
Jail except the hieroglyphics which he left |
behind to mark his rendezvous in the |
tramp quarters at the prison, which occu
Ply all the basement excepting that por-

/ characters, which are supposed to be a
symbol of the Ancient Order of Tramp
