Raymond Bishop, aged 10 years. WHIT
lived with his mother and sister on Pin,
street, met horrible death directly II
front of the railroad station about S.1l
O'Clock on Friday evening. The accident
was witnessed by some passengers who
were waiting for the west bound train
that leaves Mount Holly at O. 05 P. M.
Ever since last summer Bishop and
some friends had found sport In jumping
freight cars, and after riding as far as
Birmingham they would return home on
other freights by pursuing the same
tactics
Following their usual custom, Bishop.
with Edward Longstreet and Samuel Fem
imore, went to the station Friday night.
The other boys ran away directly after
the accident, and>it was some time before
the body could be positively identified.
A freight engine had stopped at the water
tank and after it started for Toms River
Bishop attempted to get aboard. but slip
ped and fell. His face struck the ground
and his body landed across the track
directly In front of the wheels, which in
stantly cut him in two just above the hips.
The fagman was notified, but he was I'M
able to do anything until the train of
nineteen cars had passed over the unfor-
tunate boy. The remains were viewed by
DR.. Richard Fl. Parsons and other physi-
clans. Coroner Grobler, Of Moorestown,
was notified, and the body was removed
to the morgue of 81. b. Earnest, where it
was viewed by many personal friends and
others OF curious mind. Many declared
the body to be that of Raymond Bishop,
while others thought 1t to be man
named Brakely, living at Vincentown.
All doubt as to Identification, however,
was removed when Bishops family visited
the morgue.
Deceased was employed at the factory
of the Lumberton Shoe Company. He
had frequently told his companions there
of the sport he had in getting free rides
at night, and asked some Of them to go
along. saying 1t was great. On declining
his invitation, they warned him of the
great danger he was running.
In his reckless jumping of freight trains
Bishop failed to heed the warning given
him by an experience he had on Wednes-
day. At that time he fell while getting |
on car and was dragged quite distance
before he could pull himself up. In re-
lating the circumstance on Thursday Bis
hop ssid: Il came near having my leg
cut of. and expect to lose limb or my
life some day" His prediction was full
filed within the next twenty-four hours.
The remains were buried yesterday
afternoon at Vincentown, with military
honors, deceased having been a member

house and thought to thus circumvent the
law, has received considerable notoriety,
and before the incident is ended he NAV
cause great deal of trouble for the dis.
trict. The attempt to evade the spirit OF
the law is so palpable that 1t can be neither
defended or explained; and as q matter OF
fact the violation is admitted. It seems
to be case OF one obstinate man attempt
ing to set his wishes against the command
of the Legislature.
The law provides that every Board of
Education shall procure a United States
flag, Flagstaff, and the appliances therefor
for each school in the district, and shall
display said flag upon or near the public
school building during school hours and
at such other times as said board may
deem proper" Not even a child would
say that diminutive. cheap representa-
tion of "Old Glory" nailed to stick and
placed over the schoolhouse door, is "a
United States flag, flagstaff and the ap-
pliances therefor"
Almost daily there are similar attempts
made to discredit the law, and selfish In
terests seek to pervert the meaning and
and intent of acts to suit their personal
desires. Unfortunately they often sue
coed, because of the ambiguity of the
language used. In the Burlington county
incident referred to there can be but one
explanations combination of stinginess
and obstinacy. If the culprit had been a
foreigner, he would no doubt have pro-
voked his neighbors to acts of violence.

''The Fatal Card the powerful Eng

splendid offering of the Orpheum Players
at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philade1-
phia, next week. '"The Fatal Card'' was
originally presented at Palmer's theatre,
New York city, about 1896, with such
eminent artists as William H. Thompson,
w. ]. Ferguson, Ji1es Shine and E. j.
Radc1iff in the cast The story deals in
short with the quality Of gratitude shown
by George Forester, alias Marrab1e,
towards Gerald Austin, because Austin
had at one time saved him from hanging
to tree during earlier days in Colorado,
and as the night was black neither one
could distinguish the likeness of the
other, so Marrable had torn a PLAYING
card in half, keeping one half and giving
the other to Austin, as a matter of identi-
fcation in case he could ever return such
service. Time rolls on and we find all
parties in England, where 1.-THE Fatal

If the President of the Mansfield Board
of Education was after notoriety when he
tackled a tiny flag to schoolhouse door
he certainly succeeded. Newspapers In
different parts of the state have com.

been denounced In no uncertain tones.
We give some Of the criticisms:

an equal right to the best instruction that
can be given and this is not being fur
nished. OF the $4,000 teachers in this
state but 80 per cent. are trained instruct
ors. OF course the trained teacher gets
the highest salary. This is SO In all trades.
He suggested that the teachers utilize
their vacations by visiting summer schools
and thus place themselves in the trained
class.
This concluded the instruction portion
of the programme of the meeting and the
annual meeting of the County Board was
called to order by President Black. AT
the annual meeting last year a committee
was appointed to consider proposed
changes in the school law to present to
the Senate committee looking after school
affairs.
Before this committee reported Mr..
Harrison, of North Hanover, asked If il
was necessary to have the teachers pres.
ent at this meeting and to have SO much
talking. 1t interfered with the business
and 1t could be easily seen that the mat.
tiers that were to be considered at this
meeting needed full day for that pur
pose. He offered a motion that the an,
nual meeting of next year be DEVOTED en-.
tirely to the business of the association
without any set speeches and that the
teachers be not compelled to attend. The
motion was adopted and Alfred Cox, Of
Springfield, presented the report of th'
committee. which contained long set o.
resolutions Thomas E. Newbold, O.
Chesterfield, offered an additional set, anC
discussion began.
Before the first resolution had beer
talked upon very long, motion was of
fered that the meeting adjourn until mex

OF these places this witness declares, is a
matter of common knowledge and IL may
bc assumed that they are known also

attorney for the member of the board
who is under Investigation indicated that
the position OF that body is that the excise
board has no jurisdiction in any liquor

else board looks 10 the police TO find the
speakeasies and other places where
liquor is sold without a District license
In these circumstances the Commission
ers might well take cognizance OF what

eeed vigorously against the seventy-fve
places where the law is said 10 be con-
stantiy Violated. This is not merely
