Congratulations are now due Prosecutor
Samuel A. Atkinson on his reappointmen
to the office he has so successfully con
Quoted for several years. The nomination
was sent to the Senate last evening, and il
came somewhat of surprise to the Prose
cutor, who, while he hoped for the occur
renee, did not look for 1t so soon. In fact
he was in Trenton last evening, and it was
not until he was on the train for home
that he heard he had been named.
Mrs. Rachel Ann Borden and Harry
Hayes, both of Moorestown, have been

unknown. When the husband arrived

his money was missing.
At the Third Regiment armory in Cam
den, last night, there was an inspection
of the regiment and awarding Of medals
for good shooting. Company E, of Mount
Holly, was given the company medal, de-
spite the protest of the Woodbury. com.
pany which has held the cup for years.
The award last evening was made by a
special committee appointed for the pur-
pose of judging the merits of the con-
testants Lieutenant Nelson Burr Gas
Kill qualified as an expert shot; Lieuten-
Thomas D. Landon was hand
ed a medal as sharpshooter, and the
marksmen included Major John G. Hor-
ner and Battalion Sergeant Major Barton
Bullock.
An item in city paper states that the
law and order society is investigating the
county courts action in apparently aban-
doning cases against 16 Burlington saloon
keepers, indictments having been found
nearly year ago. To begin with the
county court has nothing to do with the
matter. 1t is in the hands of the Prose-
cutor and he says he cannot do anything
until the return of important witnesses
who disappeared when they found they
would be called and have not yet return
ed. The item also states that one defend
ant was tried and convicted, and then
the cases were brought to stop. This is
not so. One defendant was tried and
convicted on two indictments, and two
other defendants were tried and acquitted.
News that Governor Fort had disband.
ed Company A. Third Regiment. National
Guards, of Burlington. caused big SEN
sation there last evening. Such action on
the part of State executive, it is said, is
almost without precedent, and it is limited
that causes leading up to the action of the
Governor will cause bigger sensation
when aired. Members of the company
were placed in an embarrassing position,
having left by train for the annual inspec-
ton at the Camden Armory before orders
the command were received by
their officers. The company was in charge
Of Lieutenant Sharp, owing to the illness
of the captain, DR.. ]. Edward Blair. For
some time there have been reports that dis
cord among the members was running dis
cipline. Several members, it is said,
have recently been dropped from the rolls.
1t is alleged that State officers had decided
the only way to remedy the trouble would
be to disband the company and reorganize.
The local company has historic record
and for years was one of the crack com
mands of the state militia.
