Mount Holly, (Northampt
Released from Iai1.

The men who have been confined in the
county Jail for some time with the idea
that they were possibly connected with
the murder of Edward Jefferson, at Bur
lington, were released last week as the
grand jury did not find an indictment
against them. The authorities have been
untirlng in their efforts to secure the per
sons who committed the crime. but seem
to have been foiled, and testimony OF
value could not be secured. So the men
were released and Prosecutor Atkinson
made the following statement:
All the ascertaiued facts in the case were pre-
scented to the grand jury but they we're not sufh-
cient to sustain indictment. The three men
who have been in Jail for some time suspicion
will be discharged the evidence is not sufh-
Gent to warrant holding them any longer. They
were arrested the strength of statements
made by one of them, which indicated that they
were either themselves involved in the murder.
or had guilty knowledge OF the crime. They are
drinking men and at the time their actions were
such as to invite suspicion The statements
which caused their arrest were, doubtless, the
result of the local excitement working on
brain disordered by alcohol. careful and dill
gent investigation failed to corroborate the
Statements in any particular. and convinced the
authorities that they did not have anything 10
do with the murder.
Every effort to solve the murder made by
the local officers and the state detective, who
worked industriously upon the case from the be-
ginning. Besides this, the authorities OF the
city of Burlington employed additional detect.
ives, and l. myself secured the services of one OF
the most experienced and capable detectives IN
the country but from all this labor and invest
igation no tangible results were reached and
factssob. aimed which would justify charging any
individual with the crime
Iregret that the the crime remains unpun1sh
ed and still hope that something may yet de.
velop which may lead to the apprehension OF
the guilty parties

Judge Horner granted licenses yester-
day. He stated that there had been a
vast improvement in the conducting of
liquor places, and general disposition to
comply with the law. The Judge said he
desired to call attention to two points in
the law-the selling of intoxicants to
habitual drunkards, and to men whose
families had requested to the contrary.
These two restrictions must be complied
with.
The licenses granted are as follows:

Trades That Kill.

One Of the most dangerous Of trades,
according to the Pilgrim, 'is the cover
ing Of toy animals with skin, chamois
leather being used, for instance, for
the elephants, calfskin for the horse
and goatskin for the camels. This
covering must Of course At without
wrinkle to look natural, so the wood
en- model is first dipped into glue, then
sprinkled with chalk dust; then the
skin is put on. The chalk Is SO fine
that it fills the air and is drawn into
the throat and lungs. A year Of this
sort Of work often results In death.
Another very Injurious toy is the rub
Der balloon. The fumes and solvents
used in reducing sheet rubber to the
necessary thinness while retaining its
strength and the dyeing Of the bril-
liant yellows, green's and purple are
most Of them poisonous.

Lobster Fare.

Hungry Holsters in their natural
state seldom refuse fish of any kind,
whether dead or alive. The favorite
bait with fishermen is fresh or stale
herring, but even shark meat is used
at a pinch. HOLSTERS also eat small
crabs, sea urchins and mussels. In
deed, there are few forms Of marine
life suitable for food which they re-
fuse. HOLSTERS sometimes capture fish
alive, striking them with the smaller

this reason fishermen call the "quick'

The Microscope,

There Is good reason to believe that
the magnifying power of transparent
media with convex surfaces was very
early known. A convex lens Of rock
crystal was found by Layard among
the ruins of the palace of Nimrud
And It Is pretty certain that after the
Invention of glass hollow spheres
blown Of that material were commonly
used as magnifiers. The perfection of
gem cutting shown In ancient gems,
especially in those of very minute
size, could not have been attained
without the use Of such aids to the
eye, and there can be little doubt that
the artiicers who could execute those
wonderful works could also shape and
polish the magniiers best suited for
their own or others use.-New York
American.
