The Teachers Institute which was In
session here last week was well attended,
In fact it was bound to have a large
audience as there are about 300 teachers
in the county and they were all compelled
by law to be present. The Institute was
about on a par with other occasions of
the kind. Some of the lectures were
great bores while others were fairly In
structive.
The base ball season closed In Mount |
Holly, In drizzling rain, and not In a
halo of glory Burlington.w advertised
as the attraction. Seven of the team
arrived, but those who came would not
play without the other two, one of whom
was Costigan, the catcher. Of the seven
three went away and when the time arriv-
I'd for the game to begin patched-up
team went on the field against Mount
Holly. The whole thing was farce from
to end and there was no attempt
% play any kind of reputable ball. The
gate receipts, which were not heavy, were
liyided among the players.
At noon, on Thursday, messenger was
tent to Mount Holly to say that the woods
IN the South Pemberton road, the proper
y of Edward E. Logan, were on fire and
hat there was danger of house or two
being destroyed. 1t was useless to send
he fire apparatus to the scene, as there
was no water handy, but a crowd OF men
md boys went to the place and fought
;he fire with sand. The dry condition OF
he grass and leaves made 1t easy for the
lanes to spread rapidly but the work OF
he volunteers prevented much damage.
It is supposed the fire was started by
sparks from locomotive.
On Wednesday night Justice Slack held
Samuel d. Ashworth, of Philadelphia,
under $500 bail for his appearance at
court for an assault committed on Mock
Sing and Mock Boo. The Cinnamon were
10 badly cut over their eyes that the
Jelestials were taken to physician and
heir wounds sewed up. The trouble
grew over an attempt of the defendant to
get some laundry without check. 1t is
aid that the Cinnamon were in no way to
blame. Ashworth is carpenter. and has
been working on the dam, his brother
having charge of operations there for the
contractor. Constable Gilbert arrested
Ashworth just in time to prevent further
lamage being done. Yesterday he plead
ID guilty before Judge Horner and was
ined 800.
