1t will be remembered that public
meeting was held at America Fire Com
pany's house on August 18th, to consider
proposition to have the Otto automobile
factory locate 10 Mount Holly. After
hearing and discussing the prospectus In
formally, q committee was appointed to
make an investigation of the matters
therein set forth. This committee is COM
posed of W. D. Marren, Charles Coles.
DR.. r. C. Darlington. W. 8. Rendell, W.
G. Wetherill and A. A. Anderson.
The committee has given the proposition
careful attention, and has prepared the
following report:
This committee has considered the
proposition detailed In the prospectus sub
mitted to the citizens of Mount Holly at a
public meeting held August 18th, and af-
ter number of conferences with Messrs
Jones and Erwin, representing the auto
mobile concern. and after a visit to the
Otto Gas Engine Works, where the cars
are now being made, have succeeded In
obtaining a modification of the original
prospectus, making 1t more advantageous
to the business interests of che community,
and very much more attractive as an in
vestment.
"Of the money necessary to finance this
undertaking the Otto representatives are
now willing to raise sum equal to the
amount asked from the citizens of Mount
Holly, and also to give us sufficient
representation In the directorate of the
company.
"The committee found that the concern
is manufacturing an attractive, up-to-date
car, with several new and excellent
features; that the name Otto is valuable
asset and gives the car prestige; that the
cars sold have given satisfaction, and that
there is good market for the same.
"Unquestionably this industry would be
of great benefit to this community, and
we feel 1t can be secured II the public
manifests sufficient interest to subscribe
our portion of the necessary capital, name
ly, 800, 900 of the six per cent. preferred
stock
Without solicitation the committee has
received assurance of subscriptions
amounting to one third of the stock, which
is quite encouraging.
The committee. having concluded It's
labors, will make report and transfer to
the Commercial League of Mount Holly
all papers and information relative to this
industry, and all future work on the
question will be conducted by the League.
The League has called special meet
ing of its members. to be held at the Court
House on Thursday night. September 81,
at eight O'Clock. to receive the report and
to discuss further action in the matter.
All persons who are interested In having
the industry locate in Mount Holly or who
are seeking investment, are cordially in
vited to attend this meeting, which will
be open to the public.
The Otto Company will bring to Mount
Holly on Thursday number of the cars it
manufactures, SO that the people here may
have an opportunity to see the excellent
and attractive machines the concern is
turning out.

Installed aa Pastor.

What proved to be most extraordinary
and unique service for st. PauPs Lutheran
congregation took place at Millville oD
the Sd instant, when their young pastor,
Rev. j. j. Neudoerffer, was formally in
stalled.
What made the services unique and out
of the ordinary was the presence of the
pastors father and two brother clergymen.
The services were opened In German,
which was followed by an English address
by Rev. E. Neudoerffer, a missionary to
India, who delivered very interesting
talk ON Life In India and the Church's
Possibilities"
Following this the pastors father, Rev
E. Neudoerffer, of Neustadt, Canada, de-
livered the charge to his son, and Rev. A.
Neudoerffer, of Mount Holly, brother,
delivered the charge to the Congregation.
The former spoke In German and the lat
ter in English. The benediction by the
newly-installed pastor concluded the
morning service.
After the benediction the congregation
came forward and gave the missionary TO
India farewell, as he will again leave for
his post of duty on Saturday. when he
will be accompanied by six more mission
aries. Mr. Neudoerffer has lsbored in
India since 1900.
AT the evening service Rev. A. Neu-
doerffer delivered an Illustrated lecture on
the Life of Christ"
Rev. Mr.. Neudoerffer, who succeeded
Rev. A. Bunk, who resigned to accept a
charge In Philadelphia, is hard worker,
and well liked by bis members.
Another interesting feature of the in
stallation was the family reunion at the
parsonage, when the young pastor had
for his guests his father. the Rev. E. Neu-
doerffer, ST., wife and daughters, the
Misses Matilda and Lisette Neudoerffer;
Rev. E. Neudoerffer, Jr., missionary to
India, wife and his two daughters. Misses

An echo of famous dinner given years
ago by General e. Burd Grub to the
Philadelphia city troop and other military
organizations, at which occasion liquid
refreshments were served In bottles mold
ed In the form of army pistols, was heard
Tuesday night in the police court when
John McGrath was charged with threaten
ing to shoot Louis Cruishan. Witnesses
backed the plaintiff in his charge that
McGrath had pointed big revolver at
him, made him hold up his hands and
compelled him to do q series of stunts In
true wild west style. The case looked
dark for McGrath until his father pro-
duced the revolver. 1t was q souvenir of
the Grub banquet, but the glass model
had looked very real to Cruishan. The
prisoner was released.
