phia, New York, and others by the score
from those afar.
A piano solo by Herman Madden was
so appreciated that another was called
for. Then Gertrude and Gordon Draper
sang duet and with their childish
charm won hearty applause. A dialogue
entitled 'fNot Man in the House" al
most brought down the house. The
players were: Mrs. Emma johnson, who
represented widow so embittered ag
ainst men that the boarding house she
starts is never to have a man in it. Mrs.
Jennie Townsend and Miss Hannah Mad
den assisted her, representing old maid
sisters. Miss Ruth Adams was the love-
ly young niece, while Mrs. M. Townsend
took, in an inimitable manner, the part

against the w. J. and s. S. r. r., brought
by Mrs. Maranda Risley, the widow of
Richard Risley, of PleasantviIle, who
was killed at the New Road Crossing Of
the railroad on June 25, 1910, was re-
turned by a jury at Mays Landing last
week Mrs. Risley, Administrative of
the estate of the deceased, sought to re-
cover monetary compensation, alleging
that it was through negligence on the
part of the railroad company that her
husband met his death.
Judge French, of Camden, represented
Mrs. Risley, and in his opening address
stated he would show that the railroad
company was guilty of negligence in not
having a clear view of the tracks, and
also that the engineer or motorman in
charge of the train did not blow the
whistle as warning signal. He asked
that if he showed these facts a verdict
Of damages in the sum Of seven or eight
thousand dollars be given his client.
Mrs. Maranda Risley was called and
testified as to the age Of her husband,
whom she stated was IS at the time Of
his death. Mrs. Risley is herself an
aged woman, being past So
Several witnesses testified that they
had not heard the whistle Of the train
as it approached New Road crossing, and
they also stated that the view along the
tracks was obstructed at the time by
high underbrush and several trees.
John Grinerr motorman of the train
which figured in the accident, stated that
Risley had driven up to the edge ofcthe
southbound track, had stopped, looked
out and then applied whip or lash to
the horse The animal had started for
ward again, he said, and as it did he
applied the emergency brake. The crash
Of these he stated, had apparently frigh-
tened the horse, which had sprung for
ward. 1t and the carriage nearly clear
ed the track, Griner explained, the train
striking the right rear wheel of the light
buggy, tossing the vehicle into the air.
Despite strenuous objections on the
part of Judge French, Mr.. Bourgeois sue
ceeded in having Griner tell that Read
ing Railroad engine whistle was blowing
at the time he blew his whistle, COM
pletely drowning his less loud signal.
Street Supervisor George Biggs, Of
Pleasantville, stated that from a point
$50 feet from the railroad at the cross
ing it was possible to see the track for
distance, unobstructed, of $50 feet
Several other witnesses testified to the
same statement.

AGED COUPLE ARE DIVORCED.

Johann Christian Richter, aged II, a
wealthy farmer of Bargaintown, has
been granted decree Of divorce from
his wife, LENA Richter, aged p. The
decree, recommended by Samuel i. Per-
ry, Master in Chancery, and approved
by Vivian NJ Lewis, the new Vice Chan
cellor, was sent to Morris L. Gorson, at
torney for Mr. Richter
Desertion was alleged by Richter.
The couple were married in Philadel-
phia on December lst, 1899, Richter be-
ing the third husband of the woman.
One previous husband had divorced her,
it was stated, and another had departed
in the natural way. A little over two
years ago, Richter claimed his wife had
deserted him and gone to Philadelphia
to live with relatives, whose address is
unknown.
In his affidavit, Richter makes some
startling allegations as to the tempera-
ment of his wife, although his applica-
tion for divorce cites only desertion as
grounds for the separation.
