THINGS TALKED About.

At the meeting of the Board of
Trade on Monday evening, DR.. Geo. E.
Reading, of the Fy1amittee on High
ways, brought up the condition of
dirt streets and alleged that the meth
cd of caring for them was largely re-
spOnsible for their bad condition. The
Supervisor is under the impression
that scraping ought to be done only
after the weather has cleared and the
roads dried up, whereas they ought to
be scraped Immediately after each
rain, SO the water will have oppor-
tunity to flow off. Under present me-
thods the water lays in ruts and pools,
and the ruts grow deeper with each
passing vehicle. He asserted that
the condition of township roads is
much better than the city roads and
it is due to more intelligent handling
of the scraper by rural road makers.
A subscriber who is interested in
the tuberculosis in Cattle problem
both as a producer and from the hu-
manitarian standpoint, tells us that
DR.. Rogers contribution to our col
umns, published in our last issue,
while valuable in many respects, was
not, to his mind, conslusive. He
would like the doctors opinion on
two points, wis the tuberculosis
test always reliable? Will an animal
that responds to-day, respond again
tomorrow, or at any trial within
three months. Further, he would like
to have the doctors authority for his
statement that tuberculosis in ami
mails is communicates it a demon
stratable fact, or a theory of certain
specialists?

THE PROPOSED WATER MAIN

The Water committee, under direc-
tion of Council, has specifications pre-
pared for laying new 16-inch main
from the pumping station to the dis
tributing reservoir on Roe's Hill,
distance of something like 1,700 feet.
The cost of this main will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to $4,000.
At present the water is forced through
Pinch main, that has done duty for
20 years, and the reason for going to
the additional expense is that the old
main is inadequate to the needs. 1t
is now, because of the great conSump
tiOn of water, necessary to pump into
the distributing reservoir every day..
Sundays included, because the reser-
voir holds about enough for one days
consumption. The main, when laid,
20 years ago, was supposed to stand
a pumping pressure of 65 lbs. to the
inch, and it now is under a pressure
of 80 Tbs. An accident to this main
that would require more than "a hours
to repair, would find the city out of
water, and Council does not feel that
it is warranted in continuing to keep
the city's water supply on so narrow
a margin.
For this necessity of life and pro-
lection against fire, Woodbury. is abb
solutely dependent on the supply
that comes through this pipe. No
household wants to be without water
for a minute. The city cannot afford
to be without fire protection any per-
iod of time
If the distributing reservoir was
to run dry, because this main, carry
ing high pressure, was out of bust
ness, the whole city would visit just
Indignation on the City Council
1t is true that five years ago City
Council proposed to do this very thing
but for some reason did not carry out
its intention, and the old main has
withstood the pressure. 1t might stand
it for another five or ten years more,
and again it might blow out when the
loss would be greater than the cost
of the entire water system. He is con
sidered a wise business man who APP
plies the ounce of protection theory
to his business propositions; can we
not apply the same rule, to the City
Fathers?

NEW BARN BURNER AT NOON.
VIM. Drager Has Second Barn Fire in
TIVE Months.

At noon. yesterday, March 18th, the
new barn of VIM. Drager,a farmer 21a
miles from Swedesboro, near the stone
meeting house, was destroyed by fire
of mysterious origin. Mr.. Drager and
his son were in Swedesboro buying a
horse, painters were working on the
barn. At noon the men put their
paint cans in the barn and went to
dinner. A few minutes after the
building was in flames. Only by ex-
traordinary effort of neighbors was
the house and other buildings saved.
So great was the danger, that goods
were moved out of the house. Two
tons of hay, at SIS a ton, were just
put in.
Two months ago this barn was de-
stroyed by fire of mysterious origin.
The loss is over $1,000.

THE DAVIS LICENSE CASE.
Davis and His Three Bartenders Held
To Court. n

n InNour last issue we stated the fact
of the reopening of Davis Hotel, in
Glassboro, on Tuesday, the 9Th, under
a writ of certiorari granted by Justice
Reed, of the Supreme Court On Fri
day last Deputy Sheriff Cunningham
acting for Prosecutor Rogers, visited
Mr.. Davis and advised MIN to close
his hotel. Mr.. Davis said he was fol-
lowing legal advice, and should keep
his hotel and the bar open. Mr.. Davis
was then placed under arrest, for
selling liquor without license, and
gave bail before Justice Mankin to
appear at hearing in Woodbury., on
Wednesday, the 18th, at 2.30 D. m.
He continued to sell and he and three
bartenders were again arrested, and
again gave bail to appear at the same
hearing.
At the hearing eighteen persons
testified that they had purchased liq-
uor at the hotel since the re-opening,
among them being some of the prom
inent citizens of the town, and after
these had testified Justice Mankin
held Davis and his three bartenders
in the sum of $500 each for appear
ance at the May term of our county
courts.
Prosecutor Rogers conducted the
hearing for the State Davis local
counsel, Messrs. Swackhamer and f.
B. Davis were present, but did not
cross examine witnesses. Messrs.
Sheppard and Avis, counsel for the
Repp Bros, in the first trial, were
present, but did not examine witnesses
Mr.. Davis counsel advised him that
the Supreme Court writ acts as /.
supersedeas over all the proceedings
in the county courts, and that he may
continue his business under his Ii
cense until that proceeding is de-
termined
The Prosecutor takes the view, and
claims he has high judicial authority
therefore, but not in this State, that
there is nothing for the Supreme
Court to review, as Davis license has
been revoked by the only judicial au-
thority that had a right to revoke it,
and the only authority that can re-
sore his right to keep an inn and
tavern in Glassboro.
The doctors, in this case doctors O.
the law, are certainly far apart.

four EVAN CORRESPONDENT.

A feeling of regret, mingled with
relief, was felt by the residents of
Redwood and EVAN when the news
of the untimely death of Samuel War
wick reached us. So ends the life of
a man who until about fourteen years
ago gave great promise of usefulness.
Mr. Warwick had the advantage of
thorough education, and at one time
was considered one of the best school
teachers in Gloucester county. At the
death of Samuel Eastlack he presented
promissory note against the estate
for twenty thousand dollars. The note
was contested in the courts, the de-
cision being that the note had been
changed from two hundred to twenty
thousand. Mr.. Warwick was tried and.
sentenced to six years in prison, which
he served. On gaining his liberty he
made SO many threats against those
he claimed had wronged him that he
was arrested and examined and sent
to the New Jersey State Hospital at
Trenton, where he was confined about
seven years, and from which place he
made his escape about Christmas,
without a doubt he was dangerous
person to have his liberty and he has
now been called before higher tri-
bune where all things are made right.
During his younger years he amass-
ed quite fortune, great deal of it
being in real estate at Clayton. One
of his heirs is his sister, Mrs. Richard
Taylor, of Pitman.

Unsentimental Lord Beresford.

Like all nautical people, Lord
Charles Beresford is devoid of any
suspicion of "side" or nonsense. At
the close of one of Lord Charles
meetings at York, at the time he was
wooing that constituency, a solemn
and sedate old clergyman who had
been seated on the platform came up
to the candidate and said with much
gravity:
"Allow me, Lord Charles, the pleas
ure of shaking hands with you. I had
the honor of being confirmed, many
years ago, by your respected uncle,
the primate of all Ireland"
Lord Charles instantly shouted in
stentorian tones to his brother, who
was near the door at the other end Of
the hall: "Bill! Bill! here's parson
who says he was confirmed by old
Uncle John; come up here and have
talk with him!' '-Gentlewoman.

Please Don't Smile

A good joke on an editor who
went one evening to report party
at home recent y blessed with a
new baby. He met his hostess at
the door add after the usual salu.a-
tions he asked after the baby's
health. The lady who was quite
deaf and suffering with the grippe
thought he was asking after her
cold aud answered that although
she usually had one every winter,
this was the worst one she ever had;
it kept her awake at night a good
deal and at first confined her to bed.
Then noticing that the newspaper
man was getting nervous she said
she could tell by his looks that he
was going to have one just like
hers and asked him to go in and sit
down.

chiId's Pathetic Death.

SiuiO . FdttClIC DSdINs
For over month pretty little boy,
Arthur Ewers, aged three, has been
missing at Assendon buckingham
shire). The other afternoon the lit
tie fellow was found dead in bean
field by local farmer. The field was
only about quarter of mile from
the spot where the child was last
seen. The circumstances are pathetic.
One day his father and mother went
into the fields to work, taking their
child with them. About four o'clock
in the afternoon he had disappeared,
and his parents searched everywhere
without avail. The police were noti-
fed, and the whole countryside was
secured, but without avail. DR.. Nc
Clure. on making post-mortem ex-
animation, stated that everything
pointed to the fact that death was due
to exhaustion and exposure. The lit
tie fellow had wandered among the
growing beans, could not find his way
out, and had sunk down and starved
to death.-London Mail.
