Base Bali.

The base ball season opened in Mount
Holly, on Saturday on the old grounds
on High street, some changes having
been made in the location, the diamond
being further from the road and the
positions of the players being slightly
changed. Among those who appeared
were faces seen last year, Berner and
McCue being the battery. Jack Gillian
was missed from first base, his place be-
ing taken by Ryland Lippincott. George
Lippincott, Gibbs, Irons, Burtis, Ebert
son, Barry and others appeared. The
visiting team was the Resurrection, of
Philadelphia. 1t was extremely weak
and the game was simply practice for
the home players. The score was II to 2
in favor of Mount Holly. The visitors
ON Saturday were secured at the last
minute otherwise there would not have
been any game.
Yesterday the game was between two
Mount Holly clubs-the Browns and
Mount Holly-the former winning to 3.
Berner was unable to occupy the pitch

substitute, Harry Ritter, officiated and
he was hit freely. Cain did the pitch.

the brow Of Iron Works hill, facing the
south, with covered entrance. The
pulpit was on the north or town side
with large square pew on either side
On the south side facing the pulpit was
a gallery with steps at each end, in
which were several pews occupied by
Peter Shiras, William Clark and some
others. The main floor was divided by
an aisle down the center. The ceiling
was arched. There is tombstone stand
ing in the graveyard which claims to
stand on the site of the first church. The
second church was two story brick,
nearly square, with steeple and bell 1t
had galleries on three sides, the pulpit
and reading desk being at the east side
surrounded by a chancel, which was
carpeted, and the hangings were of scar

the front of the pulpit was figure repre-
senting a cherub with outstretched
wings. below it were the letters l. III. S.

a sounding board, surmounted by gilt

1t is to be hoped that our old worship
ers on Iron Works hill were not as testy
about the pew rights as were the vestry
of st. James parish in Maryland, who
in 1765, to protect their pewholders,
passed the following: ST any person
shall come into any PERSONS pew with
out being asked, such person applying
to the church wardens or vestrymen,
they are to take such person who shall
SO intrude, who shall be put in the

THURSDAYS COURT

On Thursday Nelson f. Parker was
brought up on waiver of indictment,
charging him with breaking open slot
gas meter. The man pleaded guilty
He showed remarkable intelligence and
was very frank. He gave his age as 80
years, and said he was graduated
pharmacist. He said he had been on a
long debauch when he committed the
act. Asked by the Judge if he could re-
frain from drink he said he was afraid to
trust himself, as seven weeks was the
longest period he had been sober in a
number of years. He gave the names of
several persons for whom he had worked
and Judge Lippincott sent him back to
jail pending an investigation.
Seven small boys were brought in on
complaints, charging them with break
ing windows, throwing stones through
the bottom of boat, shooting crap. and
with general malicious mischief.
They came from Hainesport. Assem-
blyman Peacock volunteered to look
after them and the charge was finally
brought down to malicious mischief.
| Prosecutor Kelsey was not willing to go
ahead with the case at the morning seS-
sion as he did not know anything about
| it, all the papers having been Just
handed to him. The waivers of indict-
ment, which all the boys, ranging from
II to II years, had signed, were prepared
by detective Parker, who is fast gaining
the title of assistant prosecutor. Judge
Lippincott sent the boys to Jail until
the afternoon session, when he put them
under the care OF the probation officer
and sent them home.
sTELLMAN's LICENSE REFUSED
On Thursday Judge Lippincott rem,
dered an opinion on the application oil
| Henry Stellman for retail license at
Evesboro. The point had been raised
that Stellman filed his application one
! day before the expiration of the year re.
quired by law. Judge Lippincott said
that the date of application in 1914 was
April %, while this year court convened
on the 9th. Allowing that the license
was refused last year on the first day o.
the term, which the Judge would moi
concede, it would appear as il the Law
had not been complied with, but the fac
was the license was refused on the 19tI
Of May, 1914, hence the application thiI
term was clearly within year, so tn,
application was dismissed, s'sl
