AutoiSfS Hurt.

Isaac Schlichter, Jr. received bruises
about the entire body, and his compan-
ion, c. c.. Filter, of Riverton, seriously
injured when touring car in which
they were riding skidded into bridge
near Egg Harbor, Sunday night.
Mr.. Schlichter, who resides at 212t
Walnut street, Philadelphia, was driv-
ing the car. The accident happened on
the county road at the entrance to Egg
Harbor. The machine skidded into a
ditch and then crashed into the bridge,
which was constructed of heavy railroad
ties. The force of the collision practical
ly demolished both machine and bridge.
Mr.. Filter received a broken right arm,
bad gashes of the face and head and
probably fractured skull. Mr.. Schlich-
ter was more fortunate, although how
either of them escaped death has puz-
zled those who have examined the scene
of the accident. After a doctor had
given Filter temporary treatment he
was removed to a hospital in Atlantic
City. MIR. Schlichter remained at Egg

Receiver for Telephone Company

Application was made before Vice
Chancellor Bacl1es, at Trenton, on We'd
nesday, for the appointment of re-
ceiver for the Interstate Telephone
Company. The applicant was Edward
S. Green, of New York, bondholder,
who claims that the company has de-
faulted on its interest; that the losses
for 1913 were $4,000, not including
interest on bonds; that the COM
pany has been mismanaged, and is with
out the necessary funds to carry on its
business, and that the Interstate is di.
rectly or indirectly controlled by the
Bell system, and has been allowed tc
deteriorate to the advantage of the Bel
company.
Vice Chancellor Backes granted @
temporary restraining order against the
Interstate concern, which will prevent
it from disposing of its assets. 1t vii
be required to show cause to-day in the
court of chancery at Trenton, why re
ceiver should not be appointed to take
over the Interstate company.

AQUATIC Notes.

William p and Herbert j. Randall,
with George A. Lippincott and Lorenzo
Moore, had quite an interesting exper-
fence last week when they padded their
canoes from Mount Holly to Toms
River. Leaving Hacks wharf early in
the morning, they padded to Browns
Mills, when an automobile conveyed
them and their canoes sixteen miles
across country to Lakehurst, where they
again entered the water. The young
men had carefully studied maps before
starting, and had figured that it was
about seven mile paddle from Lake
hurst to Toms River. That was mere
nothing for seasoned canoeists, and the
last stage of the trip was entered upon
| with great glee. After padding for
hours on a stream full of stumps and
fallen trees, which bent and twisted
like an eel on fishing line, with no in
dications OF being near their destination
they began to get worried. Night wa'
coming on, and the prospect of staying
in the woods without any supper wa
not alluring. So the party landed, and
while one climbed tree to try to dis
cover something in the distance that
might be town, the Others explored tn
country. Finally an abandoned berr!
ipickers' camp wasfound, and then trace
of a wagon road. Leaving the canoes il
the woods the young men set out to wall
somewhere, and after nearly seven mile
of travelling, arrived at Toms River a
nine O'Clock. The return trip to Noun
Holly was made by train.

Farmer Killed,

When speeding train of empty
coaches struck farmers wagon filled
with tomatoes at the Marlton Pike cross
ing, near Ellisburg, on the West Jersey
and Seashore Railroad, early yesterday,
the driver of the wagon, William w.
Carrigan, 30 years old, of Medford, and
three horses were almost instantly killed.
Carrigan was driving to market in
Philadelphia, and was square upon the
tracks before he noticed the onrushing
train bound from New York to Atlantic
City. Before Carrigan could jump the
wagon had been struck by the locomo-
tive.
The wagon was reduced to splinters
and scattered for more than fifty yards
in all directions. The three horses were
horribly mangled and Carrigan was
tossed up the tracks nearly 25 yards,
torn, cut and bleeding. The driver was
dead when the trainmen reached him.
The body was placed on the train anC
taken to Haddonfield, where Corone
Schroeder, of Camden county, viewed L
and then began an investigation of tn
tragedy.

Fire on Poultry Farm.

Fire broke out on the poultry farm of
Howard Z. Sever, opposite the Levi
Parker farm on the road between Browns
Mills and Pointville, at nine O'Clock
Sunday evening. The fire was first dis
covered in the second story of brooder
house and the flames soon spread to the
entire building, which was 125 feet long
and "a feet wide, being three stories high
in some places. The blaze lighted the
sky and was noticed for miles, drawing
many persons to the scene, but there was
nothing that could be done to save the
building.
There was not much stock in the
brooder house, but there were valuable
implements used in the business that
were entirely destroyed, causing loss
of from $4,000 to $1,000, with insurance
to the amount of $4,000, which was
promptly adjusted yesterday morning
BY j. H. Kelsey. The origin of the fire
is unknown, starting as it did in ar
upper story of the building where there
were not supposed to be any lights.

Merchants Picnic.

, The fifth annual picnic Of Noun
e Holly merchants was held at Rancoca
, Park on Thursday. 1t was an ideal da,
t for such an occasion, the weather beini
clear and cool.
J All business cares were abandoned TO
| the afternoon and evening, and the mer
chants and clerks and their familie
turned out in large numbers to enjoy
the affair.
Music by the Perseverance band, o.
Philadelphia, aided in making the out
ing more lively than usual. In thu
evening there was dancing, for which
music was furnished by the Peerless or
chestra.
There were number Of athletic events
and base ball game during the after
noon. The athletic contests resulted as
follows:
Threelegged race-First. Lippincott and
Wright; second, Smith and Folwell. Prizes
76-yard dash First, Giliam m; second, Hatch
er. Prizes, two boxes of cigars.
Ladies' potato race-Won by Ella Danley.
! Prize, five pound box of candy.
Running Jump Won by Gillian. Prize,
rod and reel.
| Standing Jump Won by Harris after he
had tied with Hatcher. Prize, pocket knife.
50-yard dash, ba.kward.-Firs Sine; second
Wright. Prize, pocket knife.
Ladies' 6O-yard DASH First, Ella Danley;
second, Louise Burroughs. Prize, box OF
! candy.
The base ball game was the big event
of the day. 1t was between the Printers
and Merchants, and, as predicted, was
won by the former. This was the de-
Gliding game of the series played at the
picnics held during the past five years.
AT the conclusion of last years game
the series was tie to 2. The Printers
now claim that they have won the pen
nant and that next years game will be
the beginning Of a new series.
The game was quite interesting. There
were exhibitions Of all kinds of playing,
including antique and modern base run
ming. Garrett, in right field, and Shinn,
on first base, covered themselves with
glory, but, unfortunately, could not
stand the hot sun and had to retire from
the game quite early. Not being used
used to hard work, they could not main
tain the fast pace required nowadays in
a ball game.
Smith pitched a good game for the
Printers. He had considerable difficulty
in keeping the perspiration out of his
eyes, which frequently made it trouble
some for him to see the plate; otherwise
his work was quite acceptable and effec-
tive.
The feature of the game was a double
squeeze play pulled off by the Printers
in the eighth, when Gillian and Folwell
scored from second and third ON a bunt
by Hendrickson. This play has not been
copyrighted, SO the teams in the Central
League are privileged to adopt it. w.
w. Worrell, president of that League,
admitted that this was quite speedy,
and Levi Shinn, captain of the Mer-
chants team, said he never saw any
thing like it in his long baseball career
Before the game real, live goat was
paraded before the spectators. 1t was
decorated with ribbons and sign. 1.-THE
Printers Goat" Before the game ended
the goat was seen fading away in the
woods and was finally lost to view en-
tirely.
The detailed score is given below for !
the benefit of posterity.
