In an old sawmill converted into a
dining hall, 100 boys ate their first camp
dinner, on Wednesday, when camp

the South Jersey Young Mems Christ
ian Associations, opened at Brindle
Lake, near Cookstown, for its ninth
annual season. The young campers are
from Burlington, Camden, Gloucester
and Monmouth counties.
The camp is located at the most pic
turesque site on the Hutchinson tract.
Tents, in which the boys will live during
their two weeks in camp, front on the
big lake, which affords fine boating,
fishing and swimming. The location is
noted as one of the healthiest in the
State, being high, well drained, with a
fine water supply, and being constantly
famed by balsam-laden air from the
surrounding pine woods.
The camp committee has arranged 6
big program of events for each day, with
an eye to the all-round physical, moral

Bridge Petitions Refused.

On the ground that resolutions were
not in form required by law, Governor
Fielder, on Friday, returned to the boards
of freeholders of Camden, Atlantic, Cape
May and Burlington-counties resolutions
petitioning him to name commission
to prepare plans for bridge to span the
Delaware river between Camden and
Philadelphia.
The resolutions were adopted under
an act passed by the Legislature of 1914,
providing that any three contiguous
counties may join in petitioning for a
commission, to be named by the COVER
nor, to prepare plans for such a bridge as
is involved in this case.
The governor referred the resolutions
to the attorney general for an opinion as
to their legality. All of them were
found illegal.
The resolution of the Burlington
county board is defective in that it pro-
vides that Burlington county shall as
sumo share of the expense, provided
that such share shall not be more than
% per cent of the whole expense of the
bridge commission.
The attorney general also holds that
the petitioning counties are not con-
tiguous, and this, with the fact that the
resolutions are defective, led him to ad-
wise the governor to refuse the applica
ton for appointment of the commission
to prepare plans.

Murderer Fails.

After lying unconscious for about
three hours, on Friday night, Joseph
Salkowski, aged % years, managed to
reach his home near Parry's, on the
road from Riyerton to Moorestown, with
his skull fractured as the result Of being
shot in the head.
He accused his friend, Frank Kapau-
ski, aged % years, OF committing the
crime. The two had gone to a field to
get some cabbages. The next thing Sal
kowski knew he found that he was lying
on the ground and that he had bad
wound in the head. He had been I'M
conscious for about three hours. His
companion had fled and could not be
be located.
Detective Parker was notified and at
once sent out description of the ac-
cused man. On Saturday Kapauski was
captured by Camden policeman and
later brought to the Jail in Mount Holly.
He confessed that he committed the
crime. He said he had been frequent
visitor at the Salkowski home, and that
he and Mrs. Salkowski had fallen in
love with each other. He alleges that
he and the wife had discussed several
schemes of getting rid of the husband,
one of which was by poisoning his food,
but the poison could not be obtained.
Shooting was then decided upon.
Accordingly, ON Friday evening, the
prisoner says, the scheme of going for
cabbage was evolved, and when the
patch was reached, he was to shoot Sal
zowsld with revolver given to him by
his wife. Kapauski was then to run
away and after reasonable time was to
return and marry the girl.
The programme was carried out, and
Kapauski left, intending to get out of
the state. He said he shot his COM
panion in the back of the head, and
thought death had been instantaneous.
He did not dream that Salkowski would
live to tell anything about the affair.
After hearing the confession, Mrs.
Sallxowski was arrested as an accom-
plice, and is now also in Jail.
An examination of the wound revealed
that the bullet struck the man near the
base of the brain, that it did not pene-
trate the skull, but cracked it and
glanced off

AGED Woman Murdered.

Mrs. Celestine Dornan, said to be 81
years Of age, was murdered at her home
in Palmyra, and the house ransacked by
burglar. The crime was discovered on
Saturday morning, when Daniel Car
berry, who lives in the other end Of the
double house, noticed that his aged
neighbor did not appear that morning
as usual. Summoning policeman Frank
Grubb an investigation was made. 1t
was found that the rear door had been
forced and the murder and robbery COM
mitted.
A thorough investigation was made
by Sheriff Stecher, Deputy Fleetwood,
Detective Parker and Coroner Worrell.
1t was found that the woman had been
choked to death, the finger prints show
ing on her neck. A pillow had been
thrown across her face and the body left
lying ON her bed, where the crime was
committed.
The house had been ransacked from
top to bottom. Bureau drawers, writing
desks, cupboards, boxes and every nook
that could conceal money was torn
asunder. Even the mattress on the bed
where the aged victim met her death
had been ripped open.
Carberry said that he and his wife
heard noises as of some one moving
around in the old woman's house, but
thought nothing amiss, as she was heard
often to move around at night.
Mrs. Dornan had lived the life of |
recluse for about thirty years past. She
was an accomplished woman, highly |
speaking several languages,
and an adept at the piano.
OF late years she has been eccentric
and very retiring, confiding nothing to
her neighbors. She was reported to
have considerable money, which no
doubt caused the burglary. There was
nothing discovered, however, that would
indicate any wealth. She owned the
iouble house in which she lived, which
had not been painted or repaired for
years. The rent from half the house
formed her chief income. The
furniture is old and dilapidated.
There is no way of ascertaining what
he thief took from the house, as no one
las been found who knew what it con-
aimed.
Albert HI. Wagner, nephew residing
n Philadelphia, said he would take
harge of the body and funeral.
