D. A. r. Meets ia Burlineton.

Burlington was dressed in flags and
bunting on Saturday in honor of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
of New jersey, who held their annual
spring meeting in old Saint Mary's church.
There were between two and three hun
dred Daughters present as guests of the
Annis Stockton Chapter. D. A. R, Of
which Mrs Harriet N. NJ. Pancoast is
regent. This chapter was named for the
heroine of Revolutionary fame who buried
papers and dispatches which would have
been of value to the Tory leaders, when
she learned of the approach of the
British army.
There were many invited guests from
were Mrs Donald Mclean, honorary pres
ident of the National Society OF D. A. R.
G. Taylor Rue, Mayor of Burlington,
greeted the Daughters In behalf of the
city, telling them the city's latch key was
out, and to stay as long as they pleased,
and to have as good time as possible.
Mrs. Mclean made very stirring adj
dress touching on patriotism. Henry s,
Haines, one of Burlington's most valued
citizens, made an address on Historic
Sites in Burlington" He spoke at some
length of the Boudin IT. Bradford house.
1t is said that in this house much of the
work of framing the Constitution of the
United States was done. The houses of
Isaac Collins, the Kings printer. and the
birthplace of Captain James Lawrence
were mentioned as being of great his
torical interest.
The Queen Anne silver service was
taken from the vaults in honor of the oc-
casion, and its history was told by the
| Rev. James Olmstead.
The short address ON Patriotism as
taught by the History Of our Flag" by
Mrs Richard SelbY Williams, of Palmyra,
was feature of the days exercises. Mrs.
Williams, being reader of ability, could
give the necessary oratorical powers which
her speech required. Mrs. William Libby,
regent of the State d. A. R., presided at
the meeting. Luncheon was served at l
O'Clock at the parish house. The commit
tee of the chapter, who deserve specia
mention for the days success, include the

Must Have Lamps.

Inquiry is being made from time to time
as to the provisions of law that was
passed by the legislature in regard to the
carrying of lights on vehicles drawn by
horses The law, which was approved by
the Governor on April 20, becomes opera
tive on July A. So that all persons who
own or use vehicles that are subject to its
provisions may become familiar with the
act. it is given below in full:
81. Every vehicle drawn by horse,
horses or other beasts shall carry, during
the period from one hour after sunset to
one hour before sunrise, at least one light
ed lamp showing light visible at least
$50 feet Said light shall be 30 displayed
that it may be seen, either in the direc-
ton toward which or from which the We
hicle 10 proceeding; and if any person
shall offend against this provision, such
person shall forfeit and pay the sum of 81
for the use of the township, to be used
for and recovered by any person who shall
sue for the same.
''2. This act shall not be construed
to affect in any way legislation regarding
motor vehicle lights
There has been an impression that the
lamps on wagon must show a white
| light in all directions, but careful reading
of the law shows that no distinct color is
named, the provision being that a light
must be shown that will be visible for the
distance of $50 feet in each direction,
Any color may be used providing it is
easily seen at the distance named by the
law

Political Matters.

Joshua Matlack announces that he is a
candidate for the Republican nomination
for Member of the Assembly.
Assemblyman Lewis is candidate for
the Republican nomination for State Sen
ator. He is in earnest over the matter
and will work from now until the prima-
ries to secure the prize.
The new primary law is creating con-
siderable discussion and no conclusion has
yet been reached as to just what the stat
ute means. The Burlington County Re-
publican committee is inclined to believe
that the rules adopted by the last conven-
ton, providing for the election of nine
members of the County Committee, are
all right, but the question is how to ap-
portion that number among the several
voting districts. An opinion from the
Attorney-G Generals Office may be neces-
sary to settle the subject.
The fact that the candidates who last
year favored local option were not sue
cessful at the primaries will not deter
that party from again entering the con-
test. A candidate for State Senator has
already been decided upon, and there will
also be names presented for the Office of
Members of the Assembly. The idea of
the local option people is to keep contin-
ually pegging away until success is
reached. They feel that the result last
year was encouraging.
Whether Assemblyman Trick will seek
reelection as Assemblyman or will be a
candidate for State Senator is something
we cannot say with authority, having
heard both offices mentioned in connec-
ton with his name. Last year he openly
announced that he would oppose local
option bill and he was elected with that
declaration being expressed. The mea-
sure did not reach the House, so he did
not have chance to express himself, but
he was fair enough to tell the people in
advance what they might expect of him.
He did show his liberality on certain sub
jects by voting in favor of bill to legal
lie Sunday base ball

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.

''The Walls of Jericho" the successful
play 10 which James &. Hackett and Mary
Mannering appeared jointly, will be given
its first presentation at popular prices in
Philadelphia, this week, by the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre.
The play was written by Alfred Sutro, an
English dramatist, who has rapidly forged
to the front as one of the most brilliant
writers of the day. His knowledge of
English society. which he attacks in ''The
Walls of Jericho, shows him to be keen
and analytical observer of men and things.
Laying aside the ethics of the play and its
lesson, "The Walls of Jericho" will still
be found drama of exceptional interest,
and the story is most absorbing. The
four acts are laid in London and the
characters, with the exception of two, are
members of that fashionable world. We
find, as the central f1gue of this play, Jack
Frobisher, young man of resolute will
Of great strength of character. He is
slow to anger, but once aroused he will
fight to the finish for his rights. The play
provides unusually good parts for William
Ingersoll and Marion Barney. The pro-
duction will be handsomely consumed
and staged under the supervision of Stage
Director Percy Winter.

Horse Killed.

A horse belonging to the Grand Union
Tea Company, of Trenton, was electro
cuted Friday night near Bordentown, and
the driver had narrow escape from the
same fate.
The driver had been attending to some
customers in Burlington county during
the day, and started to drive home about
7 O'Clock during the heavy rain storm.
The wind had blown down telephone
wire, and 1t fell across one of the wires Of
the Camden and Trenton Railway COM
pany, on the outskirts of BordentowD.
While trotting along the road the
animal suddenly stepped on the wire.
The electricity ran through its body, and
the beast fell dead in the road.
The harness and shafts were wet, and
this caused the electricity to run along to
the wagon. The driver became frightened,
and jumped from the vehicle.
After having the carcass removed, he
went to Bordentown in the drenchine
rain and secured another horse, and re-
turned to Trenton.

Weldon struck man named Peter Barry
with stone and he later died in hospi
tai as the result of the injuries inflicted
by Weldon.
Weldon was brought into court and
pleaded not guilty. The case was sci
down for trial on Friday of this week.
The defendant will be represented by
Spencer Simpson.
The next case was Joseph F. Denneler
against James F. Stuart, an action to re-
cover damages. Last September plaintiff,
who is a farmer in Delran township, was
driving on Pavilion avenue, Riverside,

and her sister accompanied him. Sud
denly the horse, wagon and occupants
were precipitated into large hole that
had been dug in the middle of the street
in connection with some sewer work being
done by plaintiff. The horse was injured,
the carriage damaged to the extent of $50,
the harness SIS, and the wife rendered
unconscious. The doctors bill for attend
ance on Mrs. Denneler was $40. The &C
cident happened at about nine o'clock at
night.
Several witnesses testified that there
we're no lights to show the hole nor any
barriers to prevent team from going into
the excavation.
George NJ. Hlllman appeared for plain
tiff; Spencer Simpson represented de-
PENDANT.
The defendant held that there were
both danger lights and barricades to pro-
tect the public from falling into the hole.
A number Of witnesses testified to that
effect. One broken red lantern globe was
found in the excavation.
The jury rendered verdict of no cause
of action.
Prosecutor Atkinson, not being ready
to move to-day the indictments against
the Burlington liquor dealers, the court
fixed September to try these cases.

There is indignation over the fact that
some COWS affected with tuberculosis, be-
longing 20 Robert c. Wills, of Marlton,
were sold for beef in the city of Trenton.
Suspecting that animals in his herd were
affected with the disease, Mr.. Wills had
them inspected by DR.. Gardner, of Moores
town. The latter consulted with mem
Der of the State tuberculosis Commits
sion, and eight cows responded to the
test, one of them being killed immedi.
ately. They were appraised at 1892, which
amount was paid by the state. The cows
were in the pink of condition aside from
being affected with the disease. Will
the commissioner came a Hebrew butch

$50 for the cows ''for the hides and tai

Mr.. Wills to ship the cows to Trenton. L
was agreed that Mr.. Wills should be pres
ent when they were killed, which is pre-
vailing custom. Over the telephone MIR
Wills learned that the COWS had been kill
