William stenned Some.

William NJ. Potts, the assessor of Med.
ford township, does not often leave town,
but about week ago he decided to take
a trip to Philadelphia. He thought he
could leave the town safely and that moth.
ing out of the ordinary would happen.
But when he got back In the afternoon he
was surprised to find an automobile wait
ing at the station and he was told to hurry
and get In. Being an obedient sort of
fellow, Mr.. Potts did as he was ordered
and in few seconds was whizzing down
to his home. On the way he was told of
what was doing.
Isaac E. Ballinger and Miss Irene Gar
wood, two of Medford's young people. had
intended to get married In August, but a
summons came to the prospective groom
to get ready to go to Springfield, Mass,
on important work that would keep him
at that place for some time So it was
decided to have the wedding at once. 1t
was easy to get a minister and knowing
that Mr.. Potts did not often wander from
his own Preside, 1t was thought there
would not be any difficulty in securing the
license required by the state Of New
Jersey.
But here was where the hitch came in
for William was out of town. Then there
was hurrying and scurrying. In order
to get on the way to Springfield In time
to take charge of the work 1t was neces-
sary for Mr.. Ballinger to take the train
that left Mount Holly at 7:22. The train
on which Mr.. Potts got home was due at
Medford at 6:45, so the auto was at the
station and the assessor was hurried to his
house, where license blank had been
filed. This was quickly signed and the
minister did his part in speedbreaking
time. Then the auto was again brought
into requisition and the young couple,
with but 20 minutes to spare, started for
Mount Holly, where the desired train was
caught and the bride and groom left for
their eastern destination. Assessor Potts
has not yet recovered from the excitement
and every time he hears an auto horn foot
he runs and gets his license blanks and
wonders who's coming.

Political Notes.

1t Is reported that another candidate for
Surrogate, on the Republican side, is to
spring up on the river front.
Carleton Haines is reported to be fiirt-
ing with the Republican nomination for
Surrogate. Well, there is always room
for one more.
James Mercer Davis, the well known
Mount Holly lawyer, announces that he Is
a candidate for the Republican nomination
for Assemblyman.
Assemblyman White will ask for a re-
nomination as member of the Assembly.
Blanche has made valuable member and
the people of the county cannot do better
than to return him to Trenton.
The latest announcement of Democratic
candidacy for Sheriff is that of Andrew J..
Jordan, of Willingboro. Andrew is a
square man. He is member of the
Board of FreehoIders and his record in
that Office Is one that any man may be
proud of.
T. Walter Borton will probably be a
candidate for reelection as township COM
mitteeman for Northampton. Mr.. Borton
is finishing the term to which he was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Franklin Dill. His experience
has been such as to give him good In
sight into the affairs of the township and
he will receive good vote for retention
in the Office
Some of the Burlington young men, and
one or two of more advanced age, say
they propose to take hand In politics
this year. One of them said: "We pro-
pose to say how the county Offices shall be
distributed this year" This is somewhat
at variance with the statement of the new
boss, who has remarked that the day for
nominations to be made In any one local
ity has gone by.
Newspaper reports are that George N.
Winner has been appointed postmaster at
Palmyra. Mr.. Winner has not received
official notification. The term of the
present occupant expired in March and
he declined re-appointment. Mr.. Winner
was postmaster for long time and gave
entire satisfaction and his many friends
hope the rumors in this case will prove
correct,

NOTES


Before the game McQuaid boosted that
he would not be struck out by Silcox.
After the game McQuaid did not have
much to say. He was at bat four times,
three of which witnessed his tanning the
air.
Silcox retired the side on strikes In the
ninth inning. McQuaid was the last man
out in the first and ninth innings-on
strikes each time.
Hopkins caught for Mount Holly on
Saturday and 1t did not require a cash
purchase to get his release from any other
club.
The game with Burlington was clean
contest Both teams were in fine shape
and played ball from start to finish.
There Is pleasing feature in the play
Ing of the Mount Holly team this year.
Each man seems to think only of the well
fare of the team, and individual averages
are of secondary Importance.
The Mount Holly A. c., and Y. NJ. G.
A., teams crossed bats on the Anderson
vile grounds on Saturday. The latter
had an easy time of 1t, winning by the
score of 10 to o. The A. G. team wore
their new uniforms for the first time,
which probably was one cause for their
downfall.
Mount Holly goes to Florence, on Satur-
day. Medford at Beverly, Burlington
and Riverside at Burlington.
Silcox not only has great arm but he
has good head and he uses it In the field
and at the bat.
Lentz made some desperate attempts to
capture foul fiys but was not successful,
the runs being too long. Just the same
he was always ready to play hard fol
everything that seemed at all possible
Schoenut is good captain and his
management of the team Is showing good
results. He can quickly see what play Il
proper and acts as quickly as he sees. HI
Is a great addition to the team, ever
Though he does not have station on thu
field.

Lost His Ashes.

Aided by many officials of the Penrsyl-
vania railroad, Mrs. Mary E. White, o.
Chicago, was busy Thursday trying to
find travelling bag containing the ashes
of her husband and 3 bank book calling
for IS, 900. The bag is said to have been
given out by mistake from the parcel
room in the Pittsburg station the preced-
ing evening. 1t was taken to New York
by machinist, returned to the Pennsyl-
vania station, located by telegraph and
shipped back to Pittsburg during the day.
Frank Cheske, special agent for the
National Metal Trades Association, was
visited early in the morning by a man
who said he had been working in the
Pennsylvania shops at Pittsburg and had
come to get work in New York.
81 would like to go to work at once, !"
he said, ''but have no tools. The wrong
handbag was handed to me at Pittsburg.
1t looks like mine, but l certainly never
saw the contents before"
At the suggestion of Mr.. Cheske he
opened the bag. Inside were found the
bank book, tin box with the seal of the
Graceland Crematory, of Chicago, and
coffin plate inscribed George Shiras
White" There were pension papers
showing Mr.. White to have been veteran,
a bundle of letters to Mrs. Mary E. White,
their marriage certificate, dated 1879;
quantity of feminine wearing apparel and
two lemons.
Mr.. Cheske decided to hold the bag and
notify the Pennsylvania railroad. When
the machinist saw that Mr.. Cheske took
the matter seriously he left hurriedly,
without giving his name.
A representative of the railroad went to
Mr.. Cheske's Office In response to his tele-
phone call. He took an inventory of the
contents of the bag, which was later taken
to the station.
At the Pennsylvania station it was
stated that an inquiry for the bag had
been received by telegraph from Pittsburg,
and that it had been shipped back there.
No.one knew what had become of the
mechanics tools. Suggestion was made
that his bag was still at the station in
Pittsburg.
My husband died in the west and
had the body cremated,' said Mrs. Mary
E. White, after she had regained posses
sion of her suit case containing her hus-
bands ashes, her bank book and other
effects, II had the ashes placed in a re-
ceptacle for burial,and was taking them to
our old home In Mount Holly"
Mrs. White, middle-aged woman, was
greatly agitated oyer the disappearance of
the suit case and her husbands ashes.
Pennsylvania railroad officials restored
the parcel to her and she gave up the suit
case containing the mechanics tools.
Mrs. White arrived In Mount Holly, on
Sunday, and went to private boarding
house, where she will remain for some
time, looking after the resting place of her
husbands remains and the placing of a
suitable monument, which will be placed
In St. Andrews burying ground where
the remains will be inferred.

A special train from Florence went to
Medford, on Saturday, and there were
about 300 hackers of the Florence team on
board. That they raised a racket on the
ball field is a certainty. Whether that
disconnected Medford is not known but 1t
is sure that Florence won the game. The
last inning was very exciting, during
which Florence made four tallies.

THE
MANN INDICATOR co.

is installing its automatic indica-
tors in the cars of the Burlington
County Traction Company. These
indicators show the next stop to
be made by the car, so that travel
ers always know where to alight.
The cut shown herewith will ex-
plain the idea of the machine.
These indicators are being
placed in the cars of many of the
trolley companies in the country,
and are popular wherever used.
An advertisement is shown each
time in connection with the name
of the stopping point, making a
novel and attractive advertising
scheme. The revenue derived by
the Indicator Company for these
advertisements is enormous.
The Company endeavors to
place in each community where
the indicators are used, an allot-
ment of its capital stock. There
is but one kind of stock issued,
namely common; no preferred, no
bonds. The stock is selling at
par, $40 per share. Persons de-
string good investment in legit-
innate enterprise are invited to
investigate this company.
