was very early in the year to be trans
ferring money from one account to an
other. superintendent Deacon explained
that heretofore the state had been send
| ing money to the asylum for all patients
! but 1t had recently decided that no
money would be available on account of
pay patients. This meant that the funds
from the state would be cut down 81, 500.
Mr.. Russ opposed the resolution. He
said 1t was much easier to get money
out of the miscellaneous fund than it
was to get it in there Once out it stay-
ed out. He wanted to know if this
! money was actually needed at the pres
ent time. Being assured that it was Mr..
Russ offered an amendment to make
the sum s., 900 with the remark that if
more was needed it could be transferred
later as well as now Mr.. Russ amend
ment was adopted
The Lambertville Stone Quarry Com
pany was awarded the contract to furn-
ish stone for repairs at S1.40 per ton de-
livered at any railroad station in the
county. This is five cents per ton less
than was paid last year.
County engineer Logan made report
on the Chestnut Neck bridge over the
Mullica river. He said it would be neces-
sary to get borings at each end of the
bridge before definite plans could be
made on the work contemplated. 1t
was estimated that the borings would
cost $500 and Atlantic county would pay
half that sum, so the engineers of the
two counties were authorized to proceed
at once and get the desired information.
1t was found that it would be necessary
to hold special meeting to attend to
matters that could not be settled definite
ly at this session. The director will give
notice of the time this meeting will be
held.

Court.

The court room presented a very diff.
ferent appearance on Thursday from
that of the same day a week previous.
Then the place was crowded by those in
terested in the hearing of the Moores-
town license cases. Last Thursday when
court opened there were seven persons
present, including the judge, court crier
sheriff and clerk.
There was nothing especially interest
ing. Frank Horner, who had been in
dicted for assault and battery on his
wife, was brought in and he pleaded
guilty. The man has court record.
Some time ago he was sentenced to the
state prison for bigamy. Before he could
be apprehended he left the state and was
located at Washington, where Sheriff
Jordan captured him on Wednesday.
incidentally the sheriff was in Wash
ington one year ago on the same date
March 4-but on different Grand
Horner, in explanation of his conduct.
said he ran away because he was afraid
of what might happen to him if he was
taken before the court. He admitted
that he took woman other than his
wife with him. The court sent him to
the state prison for not less than one
year nor more than three years.
Albert Major, who was caught in the
preparation of a disgusting act, was
sent to the state reformatory at Railway.
In the matter of application to have
certain securities of the estate of Nathan
Haines turned over to the Burlington
County Safe Deposit Company, the
court ruled that it did not have the
power to direct the trustees to accept Sc
curities. That was a matter entirely
within their discretion, and if they
chose to take what was offered thew
might do SO. Under the provisions of
the will they might insist upon the cash
being turned over.
julius Grass, of Bordentown, was
brought in on the complaint of Captain
Slaughter, probation officer. Grass was
under the care of officer Slaughter on
the charge of having assaulted his wife.
The man had been doing pretty well I'M
til lately, when he evidently thought
his term of probation had expired, for
he got drunk and assaulted his wife and
threw her out of doors. For this inno-
cent diversion he was arrested and fined.
Captain Slaughter thought it was with
in his province to report the matter to
the court. The trouble with Grass is that
he drinks too much and when he is in
toXicated he has violent temper. His
wife was represented as one with tenn
per that is not always under control and
the case seems to be one in which hus-
band and wife could get along very
much better if they could be kept separ-
ate. They have fine business in Bor-
dentown. Grass is one of the best bakers
in the country and the wife is thorough
business woman. While they do not
seem to be able to get along together
they would not be of much account il
they were to embark in business separ-
ately.
Judge Horner ordered Glass to pay the
costs in this case and also made him
promise to refrain from drink for five
years and not to assault his wife in that
time. The man gave the promise and
was allowed tn pO home

Storm Notes

The Pennsylvania railroad compan!
got a train through to Columbus OF
Wednesday. 1t carried number o
Mondays Philadelphia newspapers
which sold rapidly at ten and fifteer
cents each.
Never before was there such damage
done to telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires as by last weeks storm
Thousands of miles of wires are down
and poles destroyed in every direction
1t will take many months of hard work
to repair the damage done.
Some of the country roads have not
yet been opened for travel, while Others
are still difficult to get through. Snow
drifts ten to twelve feet high filed many
of the roads, and common sight was to
see road covered with snow on level
with the fences on each side.
Trolley service between Mount Holly
and Burlington was resumed on Thurs
day afternoon. The road was badly
blocked by snow at several points. A
car that had been stalled for four days
and nights on the outskirts of Burling-
ton was liberated and put into service to
carry passengers.
The steamboat Springfield was fast in
the ice in the Delaware river at Burling-
ton for four days and nights last week.
1t was liberated on Friday. The steamer
Chester broke channel from Philadel-
phia to Burlington on Thursday, and
was followed on Friday by the ice boat
John Weaver No. 2, charging the chan
mel through the ice.
The wireless station at Tuckerton was
damaged to the extent of about 81 900 by
the storm last week. A forty-foot
wooden pole on top of the high steel
tower was blown down, carrying with it
a large number of wires and doing
damage to cable and guy wires. The
tower proved as stormproof as had been
but the breaking of the pole
put the sending and receiving wires out
OF business. 1t will require months
time to again place the apparatus in
condition.
The six o'clock train on Sunday even
ing, March LIST, from New Egypt to Phil
adelphia, had all kinds of trouble. This
side of Wrightstown it got stuck in
bad snow drift and the Is passengers
suffered from the cold during the night.
The locomotive was uncoupled from the
rain and tried to break through the
irift, without avail. In the morning,
IN account of the low water in the boiler,
he fire had to be drawn. The passen-
gers, after much difficulty, were taken
o the home of Samuel Earl, not far
way. c. b. Norcross, one of the pas
'engers, started to walk to New Egypt
'arly on Tuesday morning, arriving
here at about two o'clock in the after
loon, covering distance of about IL
niles. About rs per cent. of the tele-
sraph poles along the Union Transporta-
ion railroad were broken down. The
irst locomotive through from Pember-
on to New Egypt arrived at the latter
'lace on Thursday afternoon.
