Florence and Vincentown will play at
the latter place tomorrow.
Wonder if the female who slaps men on
the mouth will be on hand with the Med
ford team on Saturday.
Medford will be here on Saturday, and
it is hoped the result will be different from
those on former meetings. Gusts will
umpire.
The celebrated Philadelphia Giants, the
colored champions, will play at Medford
tomorrow afternoon. The game will be-
gin at $50.
Gusts, whose ampiring has given such
general satisfaction in the past, had an of
day on Saturday, and some of his decisions
were rather shady.
Florence got its revenge on Saturday by
shutting Burlington out by the score of
to o. Jakey Cheeseman did not play with
Florence, but covered third base for Bev-
erly, consequently Beverly did not win.
The Burlington Gazette says: "Smith
has made five hits in three games. Not
SO bad for 'hjtless wonder. Looks as
though the Lamb got fieeced." 1t GER
tainly looks that way, as Smith either
could not or would not hit while at Mount
Holly.
Medford shut out Haddonfield on Satur-
day by the score of to 0. The winning
run was really the fault of the Haddon-
field pitcher, who, with the idea that two
men were out, failed to complete double
play and allowed runner to reach third,
from which point he sfterward scored.
Rhubart tried another club last week
and pitched for Riverside against the
South Philadelphia club, allowing them
but two hits. The score was Riverside,
IS; South Philadelphia, 1. The latter is
the club that came here on It's high repu-
tation and was easily beaten.
For the past three weeks the base ball
teams that have been visiting Moorestown,
have been missing money from their
pockets. Chief Conway was notified and

turing John Goodwin, Michael Toole and
Earl Sorden, the latter colored. They
were caught rifling the pockets of J.
Francis Weber, of Florence, who made
complaint before Squire Petit. They all
pleaded guilty and were placed under 500
bail.
Mount Holly won game on Saturday
by defeating the crack Beverly team.
Mount Holly has been entirely reorganized
and its battery work was fine. The throw
ing of the catcher to second base was a
great improvement over what has been
handed down by Whitaker. The score
was 2 to 0 in favor of Mount Holly.
Hoffman, short stop, made some good
plays in the field and scored one of the
runs. Second base and left field were the
weak spots, and they will be strengthened
before next Saturday. Kettler, of River
side, has been signed to play second.

Died In HOSPITAL.

Rev. George A. Sowell, pastor of thu
Baptist Church at Palmyra, died in Coop
er Hospital, Camden, on Wednesday morn
i ing of injuries he sustained by fall he re
ceived after he had stepped from one Of
the trolley cars of the Camden and Tren.
ton Railroad Company at Elm avenue,
Palmyra, about $50 o'clock.
The minister. with his wife and three
children, were returning from trip to
Atlantic City. When the trolley car was
nearing Elm avenue, where the minister
resides, the minister started toward the
door and remarked to his wife as he did
SO, well, here we are at the end of a
pleasant days outing"
He then went to the platform and it is
said stepped off while the car was still In
motion. Whether he did not notice the
step in the darkness or whether he was
carried off the car by his misjudging the
size of the platform is not known.
He was picked up unconscious and hur-
ried to Cooper Hospital. His wife accom-
panied him to the institution, but he never
rallied and died without regaining con-
seriousness. The minister, who was forty
years of age, was the father of five chill
dren, two of whom died just before he left
his previous charge at Marlton to go to
Palmyra. One of the three remsining
sons, Norman, was enjoying a ride In a
butchers wagon about two weeks ago
when the horse became frightened and
ran away. The little fellow was thrown
out of the wagon and his head cut so badly
that it required score of stitches to close
the wounds.
The minister was we'll liked In Palmyra,
where he has been stationed for nearly two
years, and the report of his death produced
quite shock among the people irrespective
of religious belief.

There was a thrilling rescue of tw,
young men and an 18-year-old girl, all o
Riverside, Sunday, off the League Islant
Navy Yard. by several jackies now at
tached to the battleship Kansas. The CIR
was nearly drowned and was revived will
difficulty after she had been brought
ashore at the navy yard hospital.
Miss Alice Koerner and Albert Smith
started down the Delaware river in a trim
cat boat belonging to the young man. The
couple have been engaged for more than
a year and are to be married in the fall
They had fallen In love with one another
after Mr.. Smith had rescued Miss Koerner
from drowning off Atlantic City last sum-
mer.
In attempting to save her again Sunday
the young man nearly lost his own life
and but for the promptness of several
jackies both would have been drowned.
Thomas Baker, whom they had invited
to accompany them on the river cruise,
sank three times before courageous sailor
plunged repeatedly after him, finally sue
ceeding in dragging him from the water.
Jackies on board the Kansas had been
watching Mr.. Smiths craft. There was a
stiff breeze blowing and Mr.. Smith who is
employed at the Office of the New York
Shipbuilding Company, had difficulty in
preventing the boat from keeling over
Suddenly there was stiff gust of wind
and the boat capsized, its three occupants
being pitched into the water.
Immediately two launches filled with
sailors were speeding toward the spot
where the young men and Miss Koener
were struggling in the water The rivers
current had quickly carried the boat down
stream before either of them could grasp
her keel
Mr.. Smith dove after his fiance and,
throwing one arm around her, tried to
keep her and himself above water, but
her struggles exhausted him and they
sank together. A dozen yards away Mr..
Baker had gone down. The current was
sweeping the imperilled trio down the
river. As the launch pulled along side of
Mr.. Smith and his bride-to-be they sank
for the third time. Two jackies, Caleb
Henderson and Arthur Maloney, plunged
in after them and brought them to the
surface. Others dragged them on board
one of the launches. Baker was rescued
by the jaekies in the other launch.
Miss Koerner was unconscious. She
was brought on shore and revived after
half an hours strenuous effort. Later
she was driven home with her fiance
Twice have been nearly drowned,
Miss Koerner said afterwards. 81 am
never going to venture upon the water
again"

Wants No More Trolley Lines.

} In speaking of the trip of the part
consisting of President Thomas McCartel
Vice President John ]. Burleigh, Genera
Manager R. E. Danforth and Division Su
perintendent F. E. Bailey, of the Publ
Service Corporation, and Walton Clark
of the United Gas Improvement Com
pany, of Philadelphia, and others, owe
the line of the Burlington County Rail
way Company, Superintendent Gilkyson
of the Public Service Corporation line
to tour of the local lines by Waltor
Clark, of the United Gas improvement
Company, which has big interest in the
Public Service Corporation.
Mr.. Gilkyson said that the Public Ser
vice just now has all the trolley lines il
cares to handle, and it is not therefore
considering the purchase of the Burling
ton or any other line.
"You know" said he, that running
street railway lines is not a paying propo
sition. There are not many lines operat
ed in this part of the country that are moi
losing money. If l were to receive the
interest on the losses of the lines in New
Jersey alone every year, think l should
be very rich man"
| 1t is said that one of the greatest losses
of the trolley companies is suffered through
the populations of its employees. A man
high in Public Service circles said the
other day that the company suffers partic-
ularly from the thefts of new men. In
not a few instances, said he, these men
stay not longer than six weeks, or just
about sufficiently long for the company to
get wise to the way they are doing bust
ness. He declared that the company was
obliged to hire new men from time to time
because 1t had penalized it's men to the
limit through the receipt of letters from
cranks and others who know all about the
running of trolley lines.
It is said that there was a meeting of
the managers of the operators Of many of
the eastern trolley lines the other day
with view of providing a system by
which the populations of the conductors
may be reduced to a minimum. One of
the schemes proposed is that now in use
on the trolley lines in Montreal and other
cities throughout Canada. There the con-
ductor carries around in his hand box,
and the passenger himself drops his fare
into the box. The conductor, of course
is provided with five or ten dollars worth
of change when he starts out in the morn
ing, and, of course, he must turn up with
the same amount in the evening.
Another scheme proposed is to have the
conductor seated on the back platform of
the car with box arrangement, some
thing similar to that in vogue at the fer
ries, and have the patrons of the car drop
their nickel in the slot as they go on the
car. The objection to this, however, is
that at terminals where large numbers of
people would get on the car, there would
be such delay that many more cars
would have to be operated to maintain a
schedule.
Be what it may. however, the day is
not far distant when the old scheme OF
ringing up the fare by rope will be
thing of the past

Real-Alto Mining COMPANY.

Joseph r. Gillian. fiscal agent, is dis.
posing of large number of shares of the
Real-Alto Mining Company. which owns
and is developing five silver mines in
Mexico. Harry H. Cross, of Mount
Holly, is the manager and mining expert
OF the company. He is now on visit to
his old home here. He says he believes
the mines above referred to will pay hand
some dividends to its stockholders. Ore
In paying quantities is in sight in most of
these mines, so that the investment is not
an experiment. The capital of the COM
panY is one million dollars; par value of
stock one dollar per share. No bonds; no
preferred stock. The stock is now selling
at 25 cents Fer share.
