OF Interest to Firemen.

The annual meeting of the Mount
Holly fire department will be held in the
house Of Union company, Washington
street, Friday evening, September II,
for the election of officers of the depart.
ment, and for such other business as
may be presented.
Alta meeting OF representatives of the
four Mount Holly fire companies, last
week, to discuss how the next annual
appropriationeof $4,000 shall be appor-
toned among the companies, the follow
ing was decided upon: Relief, $772. SO;
Good Intent, s767.50; Union, S762. so;
America, 1897 so. These sums were
reached by taking the amount Of inter-
est that each company pays annually
and then dividing the appropriation
equally between the four. This way of
settling this matter has proved very
satisfactory to the department. and it
will be ratified at the annual meeting.
At the meeting of the township COM
mittee on Tuesday evening the chief en-
gineer and the foreman of each COM
pany was asked to attend. The subject
of taking the town apparatus out of
town so many times was discussed. 1t
was shown that several farmers and resi-
dents of neighboring townships had con-
tributed to the purchase of our chemical
engines, but the committee thought
there should be some more systematic
and permanent system in vogue, and
resolution was adopted asking neighbor-
ing townships to include in their bud
gets some amount that would be turned
into the treasury of Northampton town
ship and then the townships helping in
that way would have the right to de-
mand rather than request help.
The subject Of speed maintained by
the automobile machines was also dis
cussed, there having been complaint
that they went too fast, but the general
opinion prevailed that when a fire en-
CINE is going to fire it wants to reach
the scene in as quick time as is possible,
taking safety into consideration, and it
was ouONn tkldJ III I'LL cases Tile engines
had not been run recklessly. The fire.
men have reason to complain about the
way in which automobiles and other
act when engines are going to
fire. In some instances the engines have
been held up because drivers neglected
Or refused to give way. 1t would be we'll
for such drivers to keep posted ON the
law which was passed last winter, and
which provides that driver of vehicle,
On the approach of fire engine, or
other fire apparatus, shall Immediately
draw up said vehicle as near as practical
TO the right hand curb and parallel
thereto. and bring it to standstill until
such apparatus has passed, and the per.
son in control of street car shall imme-
iiately stop and keep the car stationary
until the apparatus has passed. 1t is
also provided that no horse shall be left
or standing within ten feet of
ire hydrant unless the animal is in
charge of some person capable of NOV
ing it quickly in case of necessity.

Mount Holly defeated Hainesport, on
Saturday, in listless game by the score
/, of 2 to 0. Chance held the visitors tc
one hit, although he gave four passes
His support was excellent. Titus also
did excellent work in the box, as the
home team made only five hits.
Poor Judgment in base running prob
ably kept Mount Holly from making a
larger score.
One run was Tailed in the third on a
single by Chance, who stole second, was
advanced to third by Gillam's sacrifice,
and went home on passed ball.
The other tally was made in the sixth.
Gillian reached first on Wolfrom's error
and was advanced by Beaudrys sacri-
fee. Lippincott was out at first on an
infield hit. Wolfrom tried to catch
Gillian going to third, threw wild, and
Gillian scored.

AFrERNooN GAME.

The afternoon game was closely con.
tested. The Browns started strongly by
scoring two tallies in the first chapter.
Orcutt singled, was sacrificed to second
by Alloway, and came home on Nc
Closkey's single. Cain drew pass, ad-
vancing McCloskey to second, and the
latter scored on Beaudry's error Of
Dolph's grounder.
There was no further scoring until the
sixth, when the A. A. evened matters
by tallying two. Lippincott singled and
Foulks was hit by a pitched ball. Nc
Cue sent one to short and Iippincott
was retired at third, McCue and Foulks
being safe at first and second. Cline
made pretty single, scoring both run
ners. Cline was advanced to second on
Folwell's hit and stole third, Morgan
dropping Dolph's throw, and Cline was
caught trying to score, Morgan to Dolph,
The Browns got another chalk in the
eighth. Worrell was safe on bunt;
Orcutt hit one to Chance. who retired
Worrell at second. Orcutt was advanced
on Alloway's out at first, and crossed
the pan on McCloskey's single.
The other team also made asrun in the
eighth, tieing the score. Foulks made
hit for two bags and scored on Ritter's
clean single.
In the last half of the ninth the A. A.

TWO GAMES YEsrERnAY


| Mount Holly A. A. and Mount Holly
Browns played two games yesterday and
broke even. There were some new faces
on the Brown team, as they did not use
their regular battery in either game, and
had McCloskey, Moorestown man, in
centre field.
Mount Holly A. A. played its. regular
team with the exception of having a
new pitcher for the morning contest.
The first game was won by the Browns
There was no scoring until the fourth
frame, when that team got two runs.
McCloskey singled and was sacrificed to
second by Alloway. Dolph drew pass.
Gibbs hit hot one to pitcher Chance,
who retired Gibbs at first. In the mean
time McCloskey went to third, followed
closely by Dolph. Ritter threw the ball
to McCue to prevent McCloskey from
scoring. McCue threw to second to
catch Dolph before he could get back TO
that bag. The throw was a bad one,
going to centre field, and both McClos-
key and Dolph scored.
In the eighth the A. A. got one across
the plate. With two out, Beaudry hit
for two bags, stole third, and then stole
home, which was the feature play of
both games-
The Browns Tailed one in the eighth,
which concluded the scoring. McClos-
key made a double, was advanced to
third while Alloway was being retired at
first, and went home on Dolph' ground
er to Cline.

Is The CITY RESPONSIBLE !?

Inls was the question that took tn,
attention of Judge Lippincott Thursday
morning. 1t arose in the suit of MARY
Hogan, administrators of Thoma;
Hogan, deceased, against the inhabit
ants OF the city of Burlington, to recover
compensation under the EMPLOYERS liza.
bility act.
Francis j. Smith represented Mrs.
Rogan. She is the widow of the police
man who was shot in the early morning
of July %, 1914, while in the discharge
of his duty. Mr.. Smith said the city
admitted that it is municipal corpora
ton; that the decedent was a policeman
acting for the city; but did not admit
that he came within the purview of the
employers liability law, as an employee,
and denied knowledge Of the character
and extent Of the injury.
Joseph Shumard, captain of the police
force of Burlington, testified that Rogan
was police officer of the city and that
he was on duty at the time of his death,
having been assigned to his beat by
Captain Shumard, by instructions from
the mayor. Shumard was notified that
Rogan had been shot and went TO the
scene of the shooting, where he saw the
man.
A deposition made by Joseph Temple
ton was read. In it he said he was the
man who shot Rogan and told why he
did it. The story was the same as was
presented at the coroner s inquest, which
resulted in Templeton being declared
blameless in the affair.
Walter w. Mars, city clerk of Bur-
lington, produced minutes and ordin-
ance books to show that Rogan was a
regularly appointed policeman and that
ne was receiving $50 per month at the
time of his death.
Mrs. Rogan testified that she is the
widow of the policeman and that she
has six children ranging in age from six
months to nine years.
With this testimony the case was laid
over for two weeks. Judge Lippincott
said he thought it might be advisable to
have more evidence on the point of the
killing, as the only proof before him was
the deposition Of Templeton. DR..
Dingee was also to be present to prove
the death of the policeman. Ernest
Watts represented the city but he said
he had been instructed not to admit
He quoted opinions that he
claimed showed that Hogan was not an
employee in the sense that the law on the
subject required. He said there is a case
pending in the Court of Errors and APP
peals that is almost identical with this.
Mr.. Smith quoted law and opinions to
sustain his case and after the discussion
the case was laid over for two weeks.

Historic silver communion service and
other valuable silverware is thought by
police to have been the loot sought by
thieves who twice within week forced
an entrance into St. Mary's Protestant
Episcopal Church. On each occasion,
entry to the building was made at night,
the intruders first prying open cellar
door. Closets were broken open and
ransacked in the search for plumber, but
church officials say that nothing of
value is missing. The silver plate is
stored in bank vaults for safe keeping.
