Edgar Ralph Jewell and Miss Clara
Woolman, both of Riverside. and Thomas
G. Warner, of Delanco, and Miss Julia
May Mulvaney, of Riverside. who are the
most intimate friends, we're surprised when
they met In the parlor of Rev. H. L. Bur-
kett, pastor of Dobbins' Memorial Metho-
dist church. Each pair had guarded the
secret of their intended marriage closely,
and when the clergyman suggested that
they stand as witnesses for each other the
idea was acted upon.
During the past few days there have
been various stories sfioat relative to some
transactions at the Mount Holly National
Bank which had been adjusted over q
month ago to the satisfaction of the
treasury department but which for some
unknown reason have within q few days
been permitted to get to the public. The
Board Of Directors held q long session
this morning, and statement relative to
the matter was promised, but had not been
completed at the time of going to press at
two O'Clock this afternoon. The rumors
are that the cashier had borrowed money
on notes, that bank examiner who
visited the banks In this section on Feb
ruary and had asked that the notes
be secured by collateral, and that the
cashier Immediately did so by putting
up stocks and mortgages on real estate
for considerably more than the amount
involved. The News was to-day In
formed by Director G. NJ. Hillman
that the total amount of the cashiers
liability Is SIC, 900 and that the collateral
far exceeds that sum; that the solvency of
the bank is unquestioned, and that there
Ia no cause whatever for uneasiness on the
part Of any of the concerns patrons. This
morning Cashier Lee rendered his resigns-
ton and it was finally accepted by the
Board and Assistant Walters was made
cashier temporarily. 1t will be interest
ing to learn why publicity was given to
this affair and what advantage the in
stitution derived therefrom.
