TELLER SHOWS NO
SIGN OF FEAR At
TRIAL AS SLAYER
Youth Accused of Killing Grand
father Amazes Courtroom
by Indifference.
Tspecial to the Evening star.1

BRIDGETON, JAM. 5.-The trial of
Walter Zeller, the first of the three boys
to be tried for the Staying of aged
William Read, zeller's grandfather, in
Vineland, was resumed today. The
young defendant was as apparently un-
concerned as yesterday, when his ordeal
began. The State will probably con
clude it's case today. Thus far the de-
Tense has not disclosed the line it will
pursue.
1t is not likely that either of the other
defendants, Wheeler and Grigg, will be
put upon trial this week. N
A sensation was caused during the
drawing OF the jury yesterday. Two
jurors whose names were called stated
that they had been approached con-
corning the Read case by the Rev.
Frank Anderson, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, Millville. One said
that Mr.. Anderson had only spoken to
him about Cline Wheeler, one of the
three defendants in the case, and said
to him that his family were fine peo-
pie" The other also said that Mr..
Anderson had spoken to him concern
ing Wheeler's family and had said to
him that Mr.. Wheeler, the father, had
told him (Anderson) considerable about
the case and he did not think that
Wheeler should receive as much
punishment as the others.
Justice Trenchard said that if these
statements were true Mr.. Anderson
had been guilty of an indiscretion, if
not something worse. The matter
should be investigated, he said, and he
directed Prosecutor Fithian to make
such investigation at his convenience
and to make such application to the
court as he might deem o
Young Zeller seems utterly indiffer-
ent to the fact that he sits in the
shadow of the chair. OF a ruddy COM
plexion, and of a stocky build, Zeller
appeares younger than his age. He
sat with his e at a slight angle as
he watched his attorneys fighting for
his life yesterday. His mother and
step-father entered the court house half
an hour after court had convened. AS
they took their places back of the bar,
near their on, Zeller nodded and smiled
in acknowledgment of their greeting.
A number of times during the session
the odd manner of testifying on the
part of some of the witnesses provoked
laughter in the court room and brought
a smile to the face of the prisoner.
During the examination of the tales
men he regarded them steadfastly when
they had been accepted and were told
to look upon the prisoner before taking
their seats.

OFFICIALS TO MEET
TO PLAN IMPROVED
TROLLEY SERVICE

An important conference will be held
ct City Counsel James r. Nugent's
Office at the City Hall, Thursday morn
ing, between the city counsel, Board
of Works Commissioner Arthur r. Den
man and George j. Roberts, first vice.
president of the Public Service Cor
poration, looking toward an improve
ment in the service on several of the
trolley lines. (
Among the lines about which com
plants have been especially made are
he West Kinney street. South Orange
avenue, the West Orange line and Ber-
gen street. The complaint against the
West Kinney street and South Orange
avenue lines is largely because many
Of the cars are not run over the entire
line, especially during the rush hours,
when many of them do not go below
the Pennsylvania railroad. a source of
much inconvenience to residents in the
I%ronbound district.
The trouble complained of on the
West Orange line is that the cars are
so crowded when they reach this city
hat they cannot carry any more pas
sengers. The improvement suggested
IS for more cars to run from Roseville
to the Market street station.
On the Bergen street line it is alleged
there is poo accommodation during
rush hours.
1t Is believed hat some kind of rem
sdy win be suggested at the conference.

The supreme court of the Independ-

defendant in the Supreme Court cir
cult today in the trial of an action
brought on behalf of Mrs. Peter soren-
son to recover $500, the value of her
husbands Insurance policy, which has
remained unpaid By the society. After
hearing arguments, Judge Adams al
lowed a non-suit.

a member in good standing of Walls
burg Court, No. Ass, 1. o. F., ac-
cording to the widow, but she was I'M
able to collect because the lodge as
serted that he was too much in ar
rears in his dues and the rights to the
policy had been forfeited.
In her testimony Mrs. Sorenson said
that she paid the dues to one James H.
Hampton, while the defense was that
no such person was authorized to re-
eeiye funds for the lodge, as he was
not the financial secretary.
Cecil MacMahon represented the
widow, and Craig A. Marsh, of Eliza

ENGLISH SOLDIERS FIRE
UPON HINDU RIOTERS.

CALCUTTA. Jan, 5.-The religious
riots between Mohammedans and
Hindus have taken a more serious turn,
requiring active intervention of British
troops today in Titaghur, who fired
upon the Hindu mob.
The Hindus had resumed the attacks
of two previous days on the Titaghur
mosque because the Mohammedans had
sacrificed cows. The Hindus destroyed
the sacred furniture in the mosque and
partially demolished the walls. In
famed Mohammedans gathered to the
defense of the mosque and were subse-
quently surrounded by a military COR
don, which formed a BARRED between
the Mohammedans n the Hindu riot
ers, who assaulted. the military in an
endeavor to come to close quarters with
the Mohammedans. The troops fired
upon the z~ealots. killing and wounding
several of them.

TRENTON, Jan. Presidents of this

We're considerably aroused by

Moorestown, L~awreneeville and Had

definitely ascertained until hundreds 81

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-The
earth's tremors, which seem to bear
out the contention of scientists that
shocks would be noticed in this coun-
try following the Sicilian earthquake,
were felt in Philadelphia at 2:32 and
4:22 o'clock yesterday afternoon, which
were recorded on the seismograph in
Swarthmore College. According to Pro-
fessor John "A. Miller they were of
brief duration.
Before those who felt the earth's
trembling were through talking about
them, or at $3.50 O'Clock, there was an
explosion of fifty cases of dynamite in
the magazine of the keystone Quarry
Company, near Plymouth Meeting, in
Montgomery county, not far from Nor
ristown. Nearly 10000 pounds of the
explosive went up at once tearing a
great hole in the ground and shaking
the earth for miles around. The
workmen had left the quarries and no
one was hurt.
Panic I'm Insane Asylum.
Windows in buildings five and ten
miles away We're shattered by the ex-
plosion, chimneys were shaken down..
and in the immediate vicinity walls of
buildings were cracked by the terrific
force.
Inhabitants of Norristown were
greatly alarmed, and the attendants of
the State Hospital for the Insane had
great difficulty in quieting their
charges. There are 5000 patients in the
hospital, and with the windows rafting
and the building quiverins, the thought
of an earthquake spread terror in every
ward.

TELEPHON EXTENSION.
The Kingstree Telephone Co. Extend,
inQ Its Lines Over The County.

The Kingstree Telephone Go. is
extending Its lines through the
county and hopes in the near future
to put Kingstree in telephone touch
with almost every community. The
line to Nexsen's is now being con.
tinued to Benson and Bloomingvale
and the line to Fowler's will soon
be connected with Iudiantown church
and from there to Johnsonville. To
the north and west, lines are pro-
jected to Mouzons, Hebron and
Cades. The country people are
taking great deal of interest in the
proposed extension, and are actively
CO. cooperating with the Kingstree
people in the work of construction
and equipment. The telephone is
almost a necessity to people living in
the country and We hope soon to see
Kingstree the center of a system that
will englrdle the whole county.

in the death of Miss Screven CO..
clough, whose young life went out
on Thursday, August u, 1909, at
the home of her uncle, DR. | n
BOYD. near Heinemann, after months
of sickness and suffering. Despite
tie unremltting attention of skilled
physicians supplemented by tender
ministrationS of loved ones, her
malady made such progress that all
efforts were vain to restore her to
health and she faded day by day un-
til the end.
Miss Colclough was daughter
oe Mrs Susan Colclough of Summer
on, Clarendon county, but good
part of her time was spent with
relatives in Williamsburg and she
had many friends in Kingstree who
mourn her untimely death. She
was only twenty-three years old and
her bright, amiable aud attractiv
personality epdeared her to all.
The funeral and interment took
place Friday morning at l1:30 at
the Williamsburg cemetery, Rev K
l. Grier, pastor of Greelyvllle
Presbyterian church, being the
offic iating minister.
Her mother, two sisters and one
brother are her nearest surviving
relatives, her father, Mr. John Ashby
Colclough, having died some year:

OLD SPINNING WHEEL.
Was Made to Run and Hum by a
GIoster Lady Who Knew How.
Jackson ClariOnLedger:

Jackson ClarionLedger:
A few days since Mrs. John p.
Wilmington, of near Gloster, rigged
up her old spinning wheel to see if
she had forgotten how to make
thread, and in a short while the lick
came back to her, and she had the
old wheel humming a merry tune
just like it used to do forty-odd years
ago, when half the families of Missis-
sippi made their own cloth. The
sound of the wheel attracted all the
neighbors, especially the younger
generation, and in short while
Mrs. Whittington found she had
quite an audience and that most Of
those present saw the thread MAX
ing operation for the first time and
were highly entertained. In these
days of spindles and looms run by
electricity, the spinning wheel is
very decidedly back number and
out of place, but time was when it
was necessity, and stood the
South1s best friend. 1t is still in
use in some few of the dark corners
of the State, as is also the old hand
loom-a fact that is evidenced by
an occasional suit of homespun,
even on the streets of Jackson.
