DAMAGE SUIT WAS
TAKEN FROM COURT
Marsteller Withdraws His Case at The
Last ment-Keen Disappointment
for Defendant and Witnesses

Early in May, 1910, Hover T. Marstel-
Ter caused a summons to be issued out
of the District Court and served on g.
William Braun Weeks later the Mar
steller charges were filed, which embraced
articles bearing on the strife and dissen
sion that had been existing between the
plaintiff and the Pleasantville Board of
Education. These news items and opn-
ions were from time to time published
in The Pleasantville Weekly Press-they
were reflections of popular opinion, Sc

this borough, and OH the street corners
and other places where men congregate
The supervisor Of the schools has claim

Garrison and Voorhees, We're placed in
possession of facts that made up one cf
the strongest lines of defense that any
man could hope for or wish for.
Thursday morning lawyer Garrison was
advised by Mr.. Bourgeois that the case
was non n-suited-it was completely
squashed by order of the plaintiff, Hover
I. Marsteller This action came as a
surprise to the defendant and his wit
nesses. These men We're all ready for
the fray that was to have settled for all
time the cause of disturbances in school
affairs, and their disappointment knew
no bounds. The defendant insisted that
the trial should 90 on, but he was told

COLD HARBOR SURVIVOR
HAD BONE TAKEN FROM LEG
1t is Believed That the Splinter Caused
Painful Abscess on His Leg.

On June ,, 1864, private Isaac An
drews was wounded in his left leg above
the knee. The piece of Rebel lead struck
the leg squarely and entered the bone,
bored its way in an upward direction aud
was taken out by hospital surgeons at
the top of the thigh This was IL
years ago, and since that time Squire
Andrews has followed his various avoca-
tions of life without much hindrance
from the wound. Within the last month
an abscess formed on the 'Spuire's leg
at the point where the bullet entered,
and Mrs. Andrews insisted on the veter-
an calling for surgical advice. DIR. R.
NJ. Sooy made an examination of the
leg and located foreign article near the
spot where the bullet had entered. Last
week Mr.. Andrews submitted to more
cutting and DR.. Sooy was successful in
removing from the leg what he thinks
was the cause Of the troublesome
abscess, a good sized piece of bone that
has been no doubt left there by the
army hospital surgeons. In general
shape and size the Objectionable bone is
oval and about two inches long and
and one-half wide. In performing the
operation it was necessary for DR.. Sooy
to make large incision, and the Squire
stood the pain without assistance from
an anesthetic. Last Saturday the old
soldier made his appearance on the
streets aided by cane; he limped a
little as he walked, but he did not vince
as he showed sympathetic persons the
relic of the days OF '6l-'64, which he car
ried in piece of paper.
Private Andrews served in Co. 4,
Tenth n. j. Infantry He was dscharg-
ed from the service on July Is, 1865.

STARTLING RUMOR" HAS
REAL BASIS: IT'S o. K.

An Atlantic City daily announced that
Pleasantville was startled over rumor
that the Suburban road intends to with
draw its cars after pm. In reality the
only sensation in this connection is that
one solid concrete culvert must be built
beneath the West Jerseys tracks on the
meadows, and in order that there may be
as little interference as possible with
traffic the work will be done after s pm
Several nights will be consumed in this
way but there will be no interference
with the Shore Fast Line schedule The
proposed culvert is for the accommoda-
tion of Atlantic City's new pipe line.

Absecon's council passed on first read
ing three ordinances that provide for
separate bond issues for the purpose OF
raising $4,000 with which to make three
public improvements. The acts will be
submitted to the public at the November
election.
Ordinance No. 2 provides for $4,000
issue of bonds. the proceeds to be applied
to the extension of Ohio avenue. Ordl-
nance No. provides for a $500 issue
of bonds, the proceeds to be APPLIED to
the purchase of a suitable location for
the present school building, the same to
be removed thereto and equipped for
city hall and fire house. Ordinance No.
4 authorizes an issue of bonds to the
amount of $22,500 for school site and
the erection and equipping of new
school building, the amount derived to
be paid to j. w. Cordery, custodian OF
the school fund and appropriated as fol
lows: $4,000 for the purchase of a school
site and the erection of a new building
and $500 for furnishing the same
These improvements have been discussed
for a long time by the councilmen,
majority of whom are now favorable.
According to Prof. Riley's recent school
report a new school house is a necessity,
the ventilation and lighting space per
pupil being 30 per cent. below the re-
quirements of the State. The taxpayers
will be given an opportunity to vote on
the question.
Surface drainage at the lowest point
on Ohio avenue between the properties OF
Assessor Henry Alexander and Mrs.
Talitha Alexander was brought to the
attention of the councilmen by Mayor
Smith and Mr. Mattson who explained
that after a rainfall sidewalks in that
neiehborhood are submerged for a dis
tance of 100 feet At the suggestion of
men familiar with conditions the matter
was referred to the street committee
with power to secure the right ofway
between the properties of Mrs. AleXan-
der and Mrs. Sarah Smith for a conduit
to carry water from the avenue to
ditch leading into the creek.
Mr. Mattson voiced the sentiments of
the residents on Reed road who want
an electric light placed between Shore
Road and the railroad. The. councilman
said that inasmuch as the Speakmans
and Babcocks had made marked improve
ments on the highway, they should be
recognized in their progressive spirit.
The street committee were instructed to
consider the matter.
Mayor Smith addressed the council
men in behalf of Mrs. Fanny Cheyney,
who is exercised over the condition OF
California avenue Autoists have used
the avenue because of its accessibility to
the New Road, consequently, it has be-
come a sandy lane. Pleasantville owns
one half of the street therefore Absecon's
councilmen authorized the street commit
tee to confer with the Pleasantville Of
fcals in an effort to bring about an
agreement for repairing the street.
The following bills were ordered paid:

 Max c. Bonne, c. w. Mehl and other members of the grand jury which in dicted Phillipson were placed on the stand by the defense, in an effort to show that Mrs. Neal's testimony before the grand jury differed from that intro duced in court. None of the witnesses stated definitely the nature of Mrs. Neal's testimony before the grand jury except c. w. Mehl, who claimed she stated that she owed Phillipson $400 at one time. On cross examination he was unable to give any detailed infor- nation regarding the grand jury ses. sion, or any of the testimony which had been given in any other case.
 It is probable that the examination of witnesses in the Phillipsop case will be completed early this forenoon and that the case may go to the jury shortly after noon, unless some unforeseen delay is encountered
