While NJ. W. Stern and his daughter,
Sarah, aged years, were out driving on
Friday afternoon the horse became fright
ened, and running away, dashed on the
Camden and Amboy Railroad tracks.
The horse followed the tracks to Borden
town Electric Light Plant, where the
wagon was upset, demolishing it. The
occupants were thrown out and narrowly
escaped serious injury.
Word was received from Bordentown
Wednesday evening that two impostors,
who gave their names as Michael Yeesoh
and Elias John, were on their way to
Trenton. The men attired in the garb of
priests, had covered the greater part of
Bordentown, soliciting funds in order to
build synagogue in Syria, when they
were arrested and taken to the city hall
at the order of Mayor Gabel. When ar
raigned the men produced letters from
several clergymen in this city, showing
that the latter had contributed to the
fund. Mayor Gabel ordered the men to
leave town at once, and Marshall Thorn
placed them on trolley car coming to-
wards this city. Inquiry at the homes of
several clergYmen revealed the fact that
the men are unknown here. 1t is likely
that the letters are false.
Some time ago Archbishop Farley, of
New York, and Bishop McFanl, of Tren
ton, warned their parishioners not to con-
tribute to two men who were on their way
to this country to collect funds for frau
dulent purposes. 1t is likely that the men
In question are the same ones referred to
by the prelates.

Two Beverly Men Drowned.

Edward Russ and Thomas Swift, O
Beverly, whose lifelong friendship haC
been sealed by double wedding little
over two years ago, went to their deaths
together in the waters of the Delaware
river.
The two men went out in patent non
sinkable rowboat early Sunday morning
for day on the river. They took theil
lunch with them ann spent the entire day,
1t is supposed, rowing about. Toward
nightfall they rowed over to Edding-
ton, on the Pennsylvania side of the river.
Near Eddington, at Dunk's Ferry, the
friends went for supper to small hotel,
kept by Mrs. Paul Smith. After supper
they sat on the porch talking, and about
o'clock, according to Mrs. Smith, went
down to their boat.
They launched their boat and disap-
peared into the darkness of the river
When Russ and Swift did not return to
their homes last night, 1t was at first sup
posed by their young wives that they had
decided to spend the night up the river,
perhaps at Bristol.
When morning came and no news was
heard from them great anxiety was felt
About half past 8 o'clock Fred Douglass,
who gives boxing lessons in Philadelphia
and who is taking vacation at Beverly,
went out for row on the river.
He rowed across the river, and was
nearing the Pennsylvania side when he
saw a dark object on the mud bank of the
river, near Eddington. On close scrutiny
he saw it was the body of man.
Douglass went ashore and succeeded in
having Deputy Coroner Rue, of Bristol,
notified. Rue had known Russ, and al
lowed his body to be taken across tie
river to Beverly later in the morning.
Search was Immediately begun for
Swift's body. Several row boats. manned
by residents of Beverly, some of them
friends of the dead men, who dragged the
river in vain.
About noon the patent row boat was
found floating bottom upward near Bur
lington. 1t is believed that the men be-
came confused in the darkness, were car
ried out of their course by the current
and becoming excited by this, upset the
boat in their violent efforts to get across
stream.
Russ was good swimmer while Swift
was unable to swim stroke. 1t is be-
lieved that Russ, who all his life had been
a devoted friend of Swift, went to the as
sistan ce of the drowning man, who he
knew was unable to swim.
Russ, 1t is thought, expended his
strength thus, and when he started to save
himself sank exhausted. His body was
washed ashore by the tide.
Russ and Swift were widely known in
Beverly. Russ was twenty seven years
old, one year younger than Swift. The
former was the son of Edward Russ, ST.,
who has for the past thirty years been
owner and proprietor of the Farmers
Hotel, Beverly. Edward Russ, Jr., con-
Quoted wholesale liquor establishment
next door to his fathers hotel. Swift was
a gardener and florist.

Mount Holly did not play on Saturday
and Manager Lamb let the Field Club
have the grounds. The visitors were st.
Luke. They were advertised as 1.-THE
champion amateur team of South Phil
adelphia. =" Even that reputation did not
cause the Mount Holly boys stage fright,
and they started in to win, which they
did, although it looked for time as if the
result might be disastrous. Neither side
scored in the first inning but in the second
Mount Holly got two runs through
"punky'' playing of the champions In
the third the run getting was repeated,
but this time the runs were earned. One
more score in the fifth made six for the
home team, and ended their part of the
performance. In the same inning the
Philadelphia boys woke up and got one
run. In the seventh two runs were added.
In the last inning a slow ball went down
to Haines, on second base. He had plenty
of time to catch the runner at first and
with that assurance he played carelessly
and poor throw gave the runner his
base. Hits well placed sent him around
and it looked as if defeat might be handed
to the home team, but the game finally
ended with the score six to five in favor of
Mount Holly.
Herbert House pitched for the Field
Club and he certainly did good work. He
has the developing o. good pitcher He
was ably supported by Pounds, a young
catcher from Philadelphia The latter
did not handle all of the balls delivered
to him with the accuracy that might be
expected, but he was on hand at critical
points and threw to second inxa way that
would be good example for Whitaker to
follow. He was also handy with the bat
The st. Luke players said they had their
regular team with the exception of the
pitcher. They were saving him to do
Egg Harbor on Sunday. BY the report of |
the game in yesterdays papers the regular
did not seem to be of much account as he |
was knocked out of the box in the first |
inning. The Philadelphia boys could do |
one thing-object to the umpire's de |
cisions. Jim Berry officiated, and the |
amount of kicking done and the ignorance
of rules displayed made up for all other
deficiencies.
The way in which the visitors gained on
Mount Holly in the ninth inning shows
that over confidence is a dangerous thing.
There is but one way to play ball and
that is to keep at it until the last man is
out, just as If every run was strict me-
cessity.
