Many employees of Ocean county who

Andrew j. Tilton. son of Jackson Til
ton, of Silverton, and brother to Jacob
Tilton, of Toms River, was shot in the
back on Tuesday morning by Willie
Steigert another young lad about II
years old. Tilton died from his wound
early the following morning. The weapon
used was a % calibre Winchester rife.
No reason can be assigned for the act.
Steigert is looked upon as a half-witted
boy, if not totally an idiot. He has since
admitted the shooting. and says he did it
because the Tilton boy made him mad.
Steigert is understood, has the projecting
ears, the open mouth, and all the stigmata
of the degenerate in his appearance. The
general opinion seems to be that his evil
dent idiocy will save him from death in
the electric chair.

In line with the general movement for
the publication of the Delaware river the
State Board of Health has sent out notices
to the city of Camden and the borough of
Riverton that they must install sewage
disposal plants and stop sewering into the
stream They are given until September
1, 1919, in which to construct the neces-
sary plants.
This move of the State Board Of Health
is not only the logical result of the agita-
ton against stream pollution, but it comes
just at a time when it will help the whole
Delaware water shed by getting better
legislation through the Pennsylvania
legislature whereby DR.. Dixon, the state
health commissioner, can compel Penn
sylvania municipalities to stop polluting
streams.
1t has been a great drawback to the
New jersey health department that Penn
sylvania did not do her share toward
stopping the pollution of the great river
dividing that state from this. But Penn
sylvania has not on the statute books the
requisite drastic legislation. In New Jer
sew the state board of health has the
power to go into the Court Of Chancery
and get an injunction against a municipal
ity for poliuting potable water streams,
or of going into the Supreme Court and
by mandamus compelling municipalities
to establish plants which would render
their polluted water harmless when finally
emptied in the stream.
In Pennsylvania the state health COM
missioner cannot do any of these things.
He has power, however, to hold up sewer
extension in cities until they agree to do
as he says about polluting streams. And
that is the present situation at Easton
He is holding up asked for sewers until
Easton stops polluting the waters of the
Delaware.
DR.. Dixon would like for Pennsylvania
law similar to the Jersey one, and efforts
towards that end will be made in the COM
ing legislature of that state. Then both
states can work together and in three or
four years the whole Delaware watershed
will be free from pollution.

Giant nah at crossuicka.

An ancient, historic oak tree is situated
In the graveyard of the old Quaker church
at Crosswicks, and is one of the most
priced revolutionary landmarks in the
state. 1t is as beautiful a specimen of the
oak family as can be seen anywhere,
either In summer, when it is heavily
clothed with foliage, or in winter, when
its broad trunk, stout, bare limbs and in
Vulnerable branches tell their own tale of
its wonderful growth and virility. The
girth of the trunk at its base is twenty
nine feet six inches, and two feet from
the ground it is twentY-one feet four
inches. The main branches extend fifty
three feet from the trunk and the area
covered by them is 1868 square feet
The tree is ninety-seven feet high. 1t
witnessed some of the thrilling episodes
of the Revolutionary war. In ITS the
Hessians occupied the old church, and
further down the street, on the north side
of Crosswicks creek, the Americans under
George Washington were stationed. Dur
ing the fight between the two armies three
cannon balls struck the church and one
remained imbedded in the woodwork. 1t
was afterward removed and Is now in the
possession of Francis Ellis. The missile
weighs three and halt pounds The
battle resulted in the rout of the Hessians,
and when they fed from the edifice the
Americans occupied the churchYard and
camped under the tree. Soon after the
Battle of Trenton the American troops
used the meeting house as barracks, but.
however. they always evacuated the build
ing and had it in order for worship on
Sunday. Legend has it that the tree once
shaded General Washington while he was
eating meal, and it is also said that an
American traitor was swung from its
boughs.

The A1mshouse Again.

|
The Commission that has been invests
eating the various institutions of the
State had session at Trenton yesterday
and the Burlington County Almshouse
came in for the usual amount of looking
oyer. The same old straw that has been
threshed out at former meetings was
again given an airing. Nothing new and
nothing startling.
The morning papers in their reports of
the proceedings, give some space to the
testimony of Mrs. Catherine Abbey, of
Mount Holly. One of the papers says:
"More sensational than Mrs. Mansell's
testimony was the story told by Mrs.
Catherine B. Abbey, secretary of the Bur
| lington county branch of the State Chart
ties Association, who reported on the Bur-
lington Almshouse, at Mount Holly. She
declared the place had no provision Tor
the segregation of the sexes. and that be-
cause of this there was much immortality
there.
'Mrs. Abbey declared the county Free
holders had recently reelected the warden
of the almshouse, despite protests OF per-
sons who considered him responsible for
much of the laxity In morals.
CDR. Alexander Marcy, Jr., president OF
the Burlington Charities branch, corrob-
Grated Mrs. Abbey's testimony. He also
advocated a State home for inebriates
DIR. Marcy said that in his opinion seventy
five per cent of dependency In this State
is traceable to alcoholism.
If this is correct it shows woful lack
of knowledge on the part of the witness.
The Board of Freeholders has no more
to do with the appointment Of the Stew
ard of the Almshouse than has the State
Charities Association.
The office of Steward of the Aims
house is an elective one and Mr.. Harbert
was nominated by the vote of his party at
the primary election, which nomination
was ratified by election In November. So
it will be seen that it was the people OF
the county and not the Board of Free
holders who reelected the warden of the
The same paper says that DR.. Marcy |
corroborated the testimony of Mrs. Abbey
but he probably only went as far as the
matter of ''segregating the sexes" was
concerned, as he certainly knows that the
Board of Freeholders has nothing to DO
with the election of the Steward.
There has been much time devoted to
showing the great abuses supposed to be
In existence at the Almshouse, and there
has not been any attempt to hide any
thing. Steward Harbert and his matron,
Miss McGettigan. frankly answered ques-
tions that were put to them, and 1t was from
them that the Commission gained much
of the information ON which it is making
capital The testimony was published in
all the newspapers, city and local, and the
people were thoroughly acquainted with
the facts. This was all prior to the cleo
ton, and with,the facts fairly before them
the taxpayers of Burlington county, by
good majority, declared their satisfaction
with the way in which things were being
conducted at the Almshouse. the general
idea being that until the present quarters
are materially changed with separate
quarters for the sexes, it will be impossi-
Bile to get the degree of perfection sought
by the Commission.

Talent Day at New Lisbon M. E
Church

u
Church
Sunday was observed with appropriate
services as Talent Day" in the New
Lisbon M. E. Church, the exercises being
in charge of the pastor, Rev. G. G. Rey
nolds, assisted by Rev. Milton Relyea and
and Rev. Mr.. Pursel, of Pemberton. The
church has no parsonage, the pastor be-
ing required to rent house, and for long
time the matter of securing a parsonage
has been under consideration. Definite
action was taken some months ago when
Mrs. George F. Harbert, wife of the stew
ard Of the almshouse, suggested the plan
of giving out talents" the recipients to
use every endeavor to multiply
them. Each person received FIVE cents
and on Sunday brought in the increase.
In every case the original talent multiple
ed many times and the plan worked very
satisfactorily. 1t was very interesting to
hear how the talent workers had been able
to accomplish the result.
Mrs Harbert made very touching ad
VI COS oOdblhS tAC ACooOA why oAO LOU OOOA
impelled to take initiative in the matter
and how she had collected from friends
and in other ways, such as selling fancy
articles, &c. She announced that she had
on deposit in the bank at Pemberton the
sum of 1856 %. The amount brought in
by the talent workers, and raised by sub
scription on Sunday was $102 05, making
In all now on hand for the new house the
sum of 1857. 80. This start certainly will
insure the new building as the work will
be continued by these. energetic people.
A friend owning property in New Lisbon
has offered to give the necessary land
when the entire fund is raised.
The little church was crowded to its
capacity at the services, many friends of
Mrs. Harbert from Pemberton and Mount
Holly being present. Rev. Mr.. Pursel
delivered the sermon, which was appro-
pirate to the occasion and was enjoyed by
all present. Mrs. John 8. Gilbert, of Mount
Holly, and Miss Annie Antrim, of Penn
berton, rendered solos, which were greatly
appreciated. and contributed much to the
enjoyment of the services.
