men engaged In the theft. One stood on

j A young boy named Beebe. living near
Vincentown, while In Mount Holly, Sun
day evening, became very much exercised
on losing his parents, who had sent him
after some cakes. On returning he found
the wagon gone. 1t was more than the

made by Policeman Severns that he could
remain over night In the Jail IL necessary,
and then the boy cried. He was en-
couraged to remain at the fountain square,
and soon the parents were seen searching

on the boys face clearly indicated his
delight
There was considerable noise and ex-
element on Hume street last evening
The cause of all this disturbance was due
to report that couple residing on that
street, had been married. This attracted
large number of serenaders In front of
their residence. where they beat tin pans
and wash boilers, shouted and shot off
guns. The couple tried to dispense the
crowd by throwing water out of second
story window, but this added to the
pleasure and the noise increased. This was
kept up until a late hour, and lthe
couple were well satisfied when the sere-
naders decided to return to their homes.
Much has been said about the law which
provides punishment for wearing birds
feathers on hats" This is not the word
ing or the intent Of the law. The statute
provides for punishment of those who
sell or have In possession for sale certain
birds or their plumage. There are many
who think they are punishable for wear
ing the plumage but such is not the case.
The law does say that those who offer for
sale or who purchase the plumage of the
birds referred to are subject to fine.
Women are not forbidden to wear the
plumage, but they must not offer 1t for
sale.

No one has yet been able to identify the
man killed Friday afternoon by Penn
sylvania nailroad train at Riverton. The
unfortunate, apparently working man,
was struck by the train as he was walking
near the track. He did not appear to hear
the approach of the train until too late.
Then he tried in vain to leap out of the
way. He was struck by the engines pilot
and hurled beneath the wheels. One leg
was completely severed. while other por-
tions of the body were crushed SO badly
that it could hardly be seen what sort of
clothing he wore. About the only part
intact was the mans hands. The left
hand had two roses tattooed on the back,
while heart pierced by spear decorated
the right hand. The man was about 35
years old.
