brow, civil war veteran, who lived alone

Der, were placed in the upper creek,

W. F. Wilkinson, tax collector of Riv-
erside. has been stopped by an order of
Chancellor Pitney from selling the prop
erty of the Camden and Trenton Trolley
Company in his town to satisfy tax as
sessments. Receiver Wilbur F. Sadler
told the court that the company would be
in better condition later ON to pay these
taxes, and to sell the property now for
taxes would embarrass sale of the whole
property. That view of the matter was
adopted by the court.
Rev. William Mitchell, pastor of Trinity
M. E. Church, Bordentown, who had
been asked by the congregation to return.
has sent in his resignation. This step has
been deemed advisable on account of the
spirit in the church and bitter feeling
caused by the Penhollow accusation and
conviction. Both the principal and the
family upon whose daughter the attack
was made belong to that church, and the
unfortunate affair has disturbed the har-
mony that has existed in the congrega-
ton.

at the court house on the steps of which
hymns were sung. The procession then
went to the church. Naturally those on
the street were stirred by curiosity to dis
cover what the object of the procession
was and there was large audience at the
court house, number going to the church
services later.
