Mr. Arthur Dunn comes this year IN
his new musical comedy. by Herbert
Hall Winslow entitled THE Little Jok-
err This comedy is said to allow
great opportunities for Mr. Dunn-s
many and varied talents as a come
dian and promises to eclipse the strong
impression which he made in the
RunawayS'' last season and THE
Runaway Girl previously. There will
be a large and competent supporting
company and a score of pretty girls
gorgeously gowned and the production
viii be complete in every sense. Mr..
Dunn has secured several new ana

the first time here.

critics to be his best effort. Mr.. Mac

host of pretty girls, and elaborate

that the forthcoming performance
will be one of the principal events of
the dramatic season here. The pro-
duction was staged by Julian Mitchell,
and came here direct from the Lew
Fields theater in New York city
where it played for more than a year
and half. Unlike most of the big

For The Year 1907.

The Fair of the Burlington County Fail
Association will be held in Mount Holly
on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, September "a, %, 26 and 81, and
all indications point to it being the largest
and best ever held. And that means a
great deal, for there have been some very
fine events since the new management
took hold of the institution and revived II
to point far beyond Its oldtime reputa-
ton.
With the finest grounds of the kind,
with all facilities for handling the people,
with the fastest half-mile track. to be
found anywhere, there is nothing to pre-.
vent the Mount Holly Fair from being the
best that is offered to the people.
Ever on the alert to provide attractions
for all who attend, the management this
year Is hard at work and already there
have been booked some of the finest
vaudeville performances that money can
secure
Professor Apdale's animal act is one OF
the very best. 1t consists of four bears,
nine dogs, half-dozen monkeys and an
eater. All of them are finely trained
and do stunts that evoke laughter and ad
miration. Think of an animal like an
ant eater trained to do tricks.
Him and Them" is the title of another
attraction. 1t consists of barnyard with
fha onir,oolc ond othar inroo+an 81 a,,ol q
place and they perform in manner that
is astonishing.
Babcock's ''loop-the loop and jump-the-
gap" is thrilling act. This attraction
has been secured at great cost, and will
undoubtedly draw many to the Fair.
Enochs swimming under water is an
other vaudeville act that will entertain all
The swimmer goes under water and re.
mains 10 minutes. While there he per.
forms on several musical instruments
smokes, eats and does other things that
seem almost impossible.
Performing dogs are always favorites
and Mrs Doherty will be present with a
pack of poodles.
Another act that always wins applause
is the performing horse. The great Ban
zoe horse act will be one of the inside o.
the ring attractions.
In order to make more room and to giv'
still more entertainment, the poultry de
partment has been removed from Its for
mer quarters and placed under the CRANE
stand. The space vacated will be occu
pied by moving pictures.
Notwithstanding President Wills ha
already secured good talent for his vaude
vile department he is still on the lookou
for more. and will undoubtedly give every
body the worth of their money.
The list of speed horses is fast filling VI
and there will be plenty of sport of tina
kind. The Mount Holly Fair for 1907 vii
be one that will outshine all former oc
casions.

Death from Alcohol Poisoning.


3 Two men are dead and another is slowly
recovering from the effects of alcoholic
poisoning, from drinking the fluid on {
farm between Tabernacle and Goose Pond
On this place lives Thomas Blazak
who runs small farm and also makes
grape wine. On Friday three of his
neighbors went to the farm to help with
the work Toward the close of the day
Blazak offered to get the men a drink.
He poured some wine into pitcher, and to
this he added another liquid to make 1t as
he remarked "have a little life" The
men who had helped with the work and
who were treated were Alfred Foster, Rue
ben Foster and George Shotwell, Alfred
Foster and Shotwell drank freely of the
decoction, but Reuben Foster said it did
not suit him and he did not drink much.
This probably saved his life. Blazak did
not drink any of it.
Soon after drinking the stuff the men
showed symptoms of being drugged. In
addition to being sick they became blind
and on Saturday evening Shotwell died,
Foster expiring on Sunday. Coroner
Seeds was notified and after short in
vestigation he concluded the Prosecutor of
the Pleas should be notified. Mr.. Seeds
put some of the liquid in bottle and
placed it where it could be found when
needed. He then informed Prosecutor
Atkinson of the deaths The latter
directed Drs. Brown and Small to make a
postmortem. This was done yesterday and
the result was positive proof that death
resulted from poison and that the liquid
added to the wine was wood alcohol.
The coroner will hold an inquest to-
morrow. There was no motive for Blazak
to commit any crime and the deaths are
the resulto of carelessness or
Ignorance which in this instance appear to
be criminal. Blazak came to the vicinity
Of Tabernacle from the West, where, it is |
said, he was brewer.

A Murderous Assault

There was considerable excitement II
Mount Holly, on Thursday, when 1t be
came known that an ex-convict had trieC
to kill his wife.
The trouble occurred at the home OIL
Benjamin Aaronson, on West Washington
street, where his daughter, Mrs. Florence
Tomlinson, wife of Harry Tomlinson, had
been living.
A forerunner of the events which were
enacted Thursday morning took place on
Monday afternoon, when the funeral OF
Mrs. Benjamin Aaronson took place.
At that time, 1t is alleged, Tomlinson Gre
ated some disturbance, and was put out of
the house. He attacked his son Kirby
Tomlinson, and blackened the latter's eve
while he was defending his mother.
Threats to kill his wife had been made
by Tomlinson, it is said, and on Wednes-
day he to prepared for that work.
In the afternoon he went to the shop of
Shreve & Colder, on Mill street, and
asked for revolver which he said he had
left there to be repaired, but Mr.. Shreve
says he left no such weapon. In the eve-
ming he tried to purchase revolver at the
Engle Hardware store, but the proprietor,
knowing his bad character, refused to sell
him one.
Nerving himself for the occasion, per-
haps by the use of drink, Tomlinson went
to the Aaronson house Thursday morning
between 5 and o'clock and broke into the
house by forcing rear door.
Mr.. Aaranson says that in one of the
kitchen drawers he kept large shoe
makers knife for the purpose Of cutting
bread. The blade was six inches long
and somewhat loose in the handle.
Securing this dangerous weapon, Tom
linson went up stairs to a back room
where his wife was sleeping and attacked
her. She fought with him desperately,
and after being cut several times on var.
ious parts of her body, the knife blade
came out of the handle and fell to the
floor, which proba bly, saved the woman's
life. Tomlinson then fed.
DR.. r. II. Parsons was soon on the scene
and he was compelled to sew up several of
the wounds, which are not regarded ser
Ious. If blood poisoning does not set In
Mrs Tomlinson will soon recover.
Captain Branson, who was about to
retire for his morning nap, was notified,
and he at once started out in search of the
fugitive, beating his way through Lippin-
colts meadow and all around in the west
ern section of the town. All the officers
were soon on trail of the man. but he has
not yet been found. He has served one
term in state prison.
