Trolley Road Sold.

Judge John G. Homer, as special
master. sold the Burlington County Rail-
way Company, on Thursday. Reginald
Branch, Esq, of Burlington, representing
syndicate, made bid of 800, 10O The
committee of the bondholders raised the
bid to 100000 and at that sum 1t was
cried off.
The road as is well known, runs from
Moorestown to Burlington, and the prop
ertY sold includes everything connected
with the line. The road has been in the
hands of a receiver for long time. The
bonded indebtness was $475, 900. A large
amount of these bonds, but not con-
trolling interest, as has been stated, are
in the hands of the estate of Josiah K.
BOUCHER. During his lifetime he prompt
ly met the interest, but after his death the
family decided not to continue this and
receiver was appointed. The bondholders
held several meetings, the result finally
being an agreement by nearly all of them
to have the road sold and to operate 1t in
the interest of the bondholders
The road will still be in control of Judge
Horner until next Monday, when the
court will be asked to confirm the sale. II
this Is done there will be an immediate
reorganization and new stock and bonds
will be issued. A. Merritt Taylor, whose
speciality Is recognizing defunct corpora
lions. will be placed in charge and pro-
coed to do what will be for the advantage
Of those concerned. Just what plan he
will pursue is not known. 1t will pro-
badly be two or three years before any
dividends may be looked for, but the
general opinion is that the road, with
good management, and reduction in
interest account, can be made to pay.

binary surprise. There was no uneasiness
among the stockholders or depositors OF
the bank and business went along just as
usual. Even when it was known that a
large amount of cash had been taken
there was no distrust, for it was known
the bank could easily stand the loss, al
though 1t was not desirable or pleasant.
A bank examiner was sent for and was at
work yesterday and when he has finished
expert accountants will be put on the
books. Cashier Lee has not hesitated to
make public all the information in his pos
session and even at that there haYe been
statements published as coming from him
that are not only untrue but very ridicu-
lous.
For Mrs. Heller and the children there
Is nothing but sympathy. She had no
reason to believe that her husband was
living beyond his salary and to be sudden
ly apprised that he had been dishonest
was shock that can be realized only by
those who have experienced something of
the kind. There Is no suspicion that she
had any knowledge of her husbands act
and that she does net know of his where
abouts is equally certain. She has been
In the residence adjoining the bank since
Monday. seeing only her most intimate
friends
1t is reported that Heller was seen on
the streets of Philadelphia on Tuesday
and 1t is thought he Is still In the city.
There was fear that he had taken passage
on an ocean steamer, but all the outgoing
boats were carefully watched and 1t is GER
tain that he did not leave by that means.
He may have gone by other conveyance
since Tuesday.
After cashier Lee had ascertained that
nothing but money had been taken he
ceased worrying as he had done until he
had found the exact truth. II Heller had
so desired he could have made much
trouble. All that he had to do was to
take the notes, securities and other papers
lying in the safe and the bank would have
been In very serious position.

School House Dedica+ed

Crosswicks' new $4,000 school house
was dedicated Friday afternoon, when a
programme in which educators and pupils
participated was given before a large
gathering. While Crosswicks had had a
public school for many years, yet the new
building is the first to be erected there for
public purposes The old building be-
longs to the Friends, and the Crosswicks
residents feel justly proud of their new
structure.
Thomas D. Sensor, of Hamilton Square
member of the State Board of Educa-
ton, made the principal address, in
which he touched upon the character of
the education that is being given by pub
lie schools He praised Crosswicks resi-
dents for their wisdom and foresight In
erecting such handsome and commo
dious building.
Another address was given by DIR. Ed
ward Duer, of Philadelphia, former res
ident Of Crosswicks. He said he was
glad to see the progress Crosswicks was
making In broadening the minds of the
children, sharpening their intellects, and
In fact bringing them to be useful men
and women.
The school children's part In the pro-
gramme consisted of singing, a chorus of
the pupils having been assembled by Mrs.
Thomas D. Anderson, who trained them
especially for the occasion. All of the
songs by the children were of a patriotic
nature, and the youthful choristers show
ed the pride they took In their new school
by the commendable singing of the num-
bers.
For some time past Crosswicks has felt
the need of new school house, as the
structure which has been in use had be-
come inadequate.
Last year special election was held and
the proposition to empower the borrowing
of $4,000 for site and a new school
house was overwhelmingly carried Work
was begun as soon as possible and the
structure pushed to completion
Miss Alkaline o. Waters, who has an
enviable record of thirty-five years as a
teacher in Crosswicks, will teach at the
new school. Many men and women now
prominent In business and other walks of
life were successfully taught by Miss
Waters
The Board of Education consists of:
Walter Black, president; Miss Mary R.
Braislin, clerk; Thomas E. Newbold.
Charles H. Horner, Harry La Rue, An
drew Carr, Charles E. Woodward, Thos.
Ridgway and Howard B. Sharp.
