swallowed laudanum in mistake for an
other drug. He was alone at the time
and kept running about his farm for two
hours for fear he would fall into the sleep
that would probably have known no
awakening. At times he says he could
hardly hold his eyes open. and, even when
the effects of the drug had worn off, he
was afraid to stop moving about until
other members of his family came home.
The large advertisement that cannot
fail to be seen on the second page Of THE
NEWS to-day, clearly indicates that Mar
tin Bayersdorfer is making a sacrifice by
offering such after holiday bargains. A
few skepticals who have made inquiry
found that these bargains are genuine,
and well calculated to make this store
busy place for several weeks to come. 1t
simply means converting surplus stock
into cash.

Henry Tomlinson, living near Pen
sauken, is suffering from bullet wound
in the fleshY part of the thigh as result
of an attempt to brighten brother by
playing "ghost" He wrapped himself in
q sheet and waited at the cemetery until
his brother approached, when he stood
upon the wall. with outstretched arms.
Instead of running, as the joker hoped,
his victim drew a revolver and began to
fire rapidly at the figure in white. When
Tomlinson fell to the ground the other lad
ran away, greatly frightened, without
stopping to inquire what damage his
bullets had done. He did not know he
had shot his brother until the latter
limped into the house later.
There was an item in last weeks News
that was misleading. 1t appeared in the
report of the proceedings of the Board of
Freeholders and said that Warren, Web
ster & Co. were released from bond of
So, 900 given for the proper heating of
certain portions of the Insane Asylum and
had given bond for smaller amount.
The fact Is that the bond does not
expire until April. Warren, Webster &
Co. agreed to do certain work for the sum
of 81, 900. Estimates by an engineer had
led to the belief that it would cost nearer
$12, 900 than $1,000 to complete the job.
The firm went ahead and did all that the
specifications called for and the general
impression is that, instead of making a
profit, there was loss of a large sum.
The bond required heating and ventilat-
ing at 70 degrees in zero weather. As
there has not been any of that sort yet it
cannot be told whether the requirements
will be fulfilled, but the results in the
coolest weather so far experienced have
been satisfactory and 1t is believed the
promises of the contractors will be carried
out when occasion requires, and Warren,
Webster & Co. have signed an agreement
that If there is no zero weather before the
expiration of this bond they will execute
another for %. 900 for the faithful carry
| ing out of the provisions of the contract
