His Family is Anxious.

Mystery surrounds the disappearance
of John w. Shipp, inspector of the city
sewer and water system at Bordentown,
who left that place early on Monday
morning of last week, after saying that
he was going away for a day.
DIR. William NJ. Kester, city commits
sioner of Bordentown, gave Shipp per.
mission to leave the city because it was
Labor day. He said he would return
that night. But he did not show up and
is still missing.
Thursday Mrs. Shipp left Bordentown
saying she was going to look for her hus
band. She believes that he has gone tC
either Harrisburg or Lewisburg, Pa. Hi;
relatives are puzzled by his absence, but
believe that he will return home.
Shipp had no money to handle in hi;
official position. He was paid a gooC
salary and appeared to be satisfied witt
his job. The Ships moved to Borden
town from Virginia about a year and ;
half ago.
Commissioner Kester, who is DENTS
with large practice, is now compelled
to attend to the work left by Shipp be

Accidental Shooting.

John Lawrence, a mOtOrman employed
on the trolley road operated by the Pub
lie Service Corporation between Camden
and Trenton, was the victim of an acct
dental shooting on the o'clock trolley
that passed through Florence on Friday
night, at the hands of James G. Hamil-
ton, superintendent of construction at
the Florence Iron Works. Lawrence lives
at Delanco.
The shooting came about in peculiar
manner John Hamilton, father of the
defendant, is supervising some road
work being done in Florence township.
Auditor Tilton sent him check for the
money with which to pay the men on
the job, and Hamilton had it cashed in
large bills at the Mechanics bank in
Burlington. The Hamiltons' live at
Florence Heights, opposite the plant of
the E. NJ Haedrick's Sand Company.
He gave some of the money to his son
James and requested him to go down to
the town, nearly a mile away, to get
small change.
Knowing the dangerous character of
the neighborhood, the son, to protect
himself, fastened belt about his waist
to which was attached a holster In this
he carried the latest type of army re-
volVer.
On the return trip James Sweeney,
conductor, and John Lawrence, motor
man, became interested in the revolver
and asked to see it. The request was
granted, and after drawing the weapon
from the holster, Hamilton attempted
to take out all of the bullets as a matter
of safety.
Complying with request he began to
explain the mechanism of the gun,
which all hands supposed was empty,
but during this proceeding it went off
and sent ball into the right side of
Lawrence, who weighs 100 pounds.
With all possible speed Lawrence was
taken to the Office of DIR. Baird, who
probed for but failed to locate the bullet.
The same result followed after he had
been taken to the Office of DIR. Alexander
Small, at Riverside.
1t was then decided to rush Lawrence
to Cooper hospital, Camden, where a
surgical operation failed to locate the
ball which is of large calibre. Before
being removed from Florence he made q
statement to the effect that the shooting
was the result of an accident, pure and
simple, attaching no blame on Hamilton
| On Saturday morning, the defendant
gave himself up to Justice John Peacock
Both men came to the Office of Prosecu.
tor Samuel A. Atkinson, who held
Hamilton under 81, 900 bail to await the
result of the injury. Security was fur
nished at once.
Robert Peacock, who represents Hamil
ton, received word Saturday morning
from the hospital that Lawrence wal
resting easy.
Later on County Detective Ellis II
Parker appeared at the bedside of tn,
injured man and got a statement from
him.

An increase in wages that will affect
the agents and assistants of the Penn
sylvania Railroad has just been ANNOUNCE
ed by that company. The raise was vol
untary and the men did not know of the
increase until their pay envelopes arriv-
led. The increase was given following
readjustment of the wages where some
employees are not rated as high as Others
on the same division, and in the same
line of work. On an average the increase
equals fourteen per cent. The increase
was effective from August l.

cluded he had better go to Jail for time,
so Constable Gilbert landed him in that

School Has Opened.

The school bell rang yesterday morn
ing and the children turned out in large
numbers to respond to the summons to
resume their studies. All the rooms in
the Mount Holly schools will be occu-
pied to their full capacity. In addition
to rooms in the regular buildings another
room has been added at the Mary A.
Dobbins Home on Pine street. While
this will especially accommodate the in
mates o1the Children's home it is apart
of the public school system of the town,
and children in that neighborhood are
privileged TO attend there if they so de-
sire.
The truant officer went on duty yester-
day and will look after those who do not
comply with the law. His work last
year was very satisfactory and caused
many children to attend school where
there had been disposition to shirk
study.
The laws governing school attendance
have been revised. Parents are urged to
give attention to the provisions of the
revised laws, as the requirements are
much more stringent than those of the
old law, and the provisions for enforce
ment much more nearly adequate.
Towards the close of the session last
year there were frequent requests for the
withdrawal of pupils who wanted to go
to work. As the year was nearly at an
end the majority of these requests were
granted, but the law has placed certain
conditions which all applications of that
character must be subjected to, and
which are printed here that there may
not be any misunderstanding. One
thing to which attention should be
strictly given is that child under IA
years of age cannot be exempted from
attending school, and if he is over that
age and under Is years he must have at
tended school at least 100 days in the
preceding twelve months.
Do not allow a child under Is years of
of age to remain out of school until the
age and Schooling Certificate" has
been secured from the superintendent.
Any child 16 years of age is not re-
quired to attend school.
Children between IA and Is years of
age may secure age and schooling certi-
ficates upon the following conditions:
Satisfactory proof of age.
The child must have attended school
100 days within the last twelve months.
The certificate of the medical inspector
must be favorable.
The child must remain in employment
Il e., must not be idle and upon the
streets.
The place to go for information con-
corning certificates and school attend
ance is the office of the superintendent
in the high school building.
Every parent or guardian of child
must cause such child to attend some
school or see that the child is given the
same instruction that would be given at
school in the department he would at
tend, and he must put in the same num-
Der of hours that are being consumed at
school. Any parent, guardian, or other
person having charge of child who
fails to comply with any of the pro-
visions of the compulsory education law
shall be deemed to be disorderly person,
subject to punishment as such, and the
child shall also be under the same
designation.

Political Notes.

Louis r. Engel, of Roebling, who is a
Republican candidate for freeholder from
Florence township, has filed his nomi-
mating petition.
There was session of the Legislature
lastSwinter, with a couple of extras on
the side. Many laws were passed, but
there are few people who know just what
statutes they are to obey. Ignorance
of the law is no excuse but no means
are taken to remove that ignorance
After awhile there will be some books
sent to the various counties, but the
general public will not be able to get
their hands on them.
Speaking of the great hold that Pres
ident Wilson has on his party through
political patronage, newspaper cor
respondent writes thus: but, after all.
patronage has cut but small part in
the abject subservience shown to the
President. The truth is that the Demo-
cratic party at Washington is in ner-
vous and Observation-Disclosures
condition. 1t promised cheap food, and
cheap food hasn't arrived, and it was
this promise more than any other that
helped it in the campaign. 1t is engaged
in destroying the policy of protection
under which the country has grown
great. Confessedly this is an expert
ment. Every Democrat hopes for the
Int sex of = 4
knows just what the result of the Demo-
cratic legislation will be-"
Misled by items that appeared in city
papers, editors of other journals have
been commenting upon the contest over
the position of member of the State Re-
publican committee from this county,
and the idea seems to prevail that Chan
Gerry Clerk Robbins and Henry p. Thorn
are to fight for the honor. One paper
has gone so far as to show that Robbins
is to be made chairman of the State
Committee. The fact is that Robbins
did not get a sufficient number of sig
natures to have his name placed on the
| ticket for the position mentioned. One
paper refers to the fact that ''some
friends of Mr.. Robbins, in his absence
from the county, filed a petition, with
nine names less than the requisite mum.
Der of signatures. There were four o
these petitions filed and notwithstand
ing Mr.. Robbins was absent from tn,
county," each paper bore his signature
acquiescing in the movement and prom
ising to serve if named.
Some time ago Walter Wood, of thu
Florence Iron Works, had talk will
some of his men on the proposed reduc
ton of tariff on cast iron pipe. Tn
report is that he spoke to several of hi
employees, among them Richard P
Hughes, and that he asked the latter
he had any influence with the two Unite
States Senators from New Jersey. o.
receiving an affirmative reply Mr.. Woo
delegated Dick, with others, to go an
see MARITIME and Hughes and have tn
duty on cast iron pipe increased from
, per cent. to Is per cent. The delegatio
) went and when the Senate got don
> with the tariff on cast iron pipe, it wa
not only not increased but it was put o
o the free list. So much for the infiuenC
Q of the Dickey bird with the Unite
States Senators. incidentally it ma
be mentioned that since the placing
o cast iron pipe on the free list the Floren'
Works have been cut down to four da,
a week.

n Kelseu then shifted his remarks

Mr.. Kelsey then shifted his remarks
to the county building bridge on the
road being constructed from Browns
Mills to Lakehurst. Because of the alb
sence of the bridge it is preventing COM
pletion of the work Contractor Lee
Compile threatens to throw up the job.
The Board has no money for this pur-
pose now. Mr.. Kelsey and Nj. w. Har-
grove offered to furnish the money and
to accept the county's bond for security.
This proposition was accepted and the
county will advertise for bids.
Mr.. Kelsey tried to prevail upon the
Board to give the relief asked for the
building of the short stretch of road, but
Director Russ dismissed the matter from
further argument after ascertaining that
no member of the Board would make a
motion to that effect.
Mr.. Kelsey was requested to renew in
surance in the sum of $500 on sheds and
barns belonging to the county and To-
Gated at New Lisbon.
Solicitor Rigg was notified to request
the Burlington County Transit Com
pany to put in good shape the poor con-
dition of the county road along its
roadbed in Northampton township.
AS the result of action taken by the
Commissioners of Bordentown, which
was made known to the Board in a let
ter received from City Clerk Malone,
Solicitor Rigg was requested to notify
the Public Service Corporation Railroad
Company to repair the stone roads with
the rails and eighteen inches outside
thereof.
The surprise of the session came at
this point when James Logan rendered
his resignation as County Supervisor of
Roads, but he will continue as County
Engineer at a salary of $500 per year.
The resignation was accepted without
comment.
Mr.. Dudley explained the situation by
stating that the resignation was only be-
cause of the fact that Col. Stevens had
refused to pay any allotments to this
county for road purposes as long as the
Office was combined with that of the
Engineer.
DR.. LeJambre had something to say
and he addressed his remarks directly to
Director Russ, and accused him of being
personally responsible to the taxpayers
for the extra 81 900 that it will now cost
for Supervisor because of his alleged
conspiracy with Col Stevens to GUST
Logan and get Riverton man appoint
ed in his place. The doctor had some
good words to say concerning Mr.. Logan,
who had given satisfaction in the dual
position.
Then came in quick succession the
of Samuel C. Roberts as
member Of the Board. With its accept
ance there was motion that he be APP
pointed Supervisor to succeed Mr.. Logan.
The matter went through with bells on.
A resolution was introduced by DR.. Lee
Jambre that George S. Maxwell, of
township, be appointed a
member of the Board, to fill the unex-
pired term of Mr.. Roberts, was passed.
This unexpected line of business re-
ceived the endorsement of Director Russ, |
who possibly saw no other alternative,
as the slate had been made with strength |
to carry it out.
Plans and specifications prepared by |
Engineer Logan for a new barn to be erect |
ed in the rear of the Jail were approved. |
Bids will be advertised for
The Board will meet again Monday.
