Alfred Stevenson, a laborer employed
by the Chatsworth Estates, has had a
very busy season disposing of an un-
usually large crop of fruits and vege-
tables, his returns exciting the envy of
some boys who recently visited his
melon patch, oblivious to the fact that
al was tipped off and was lying in
wait. When each of the boys, by per-
cussion selective methods, picked out
the melon he desired, Al emerged from
hiding and notified each offender to APP
pear before him at his house the next
evening. At the appointed time and
place those present were fined $3.50
each, and the absent members were
fined SIS each, word being sent to them
that unless this fine was Immediately
paid they wovld be arrested. 1t is re-
ported that the melons showed value
of about $50. The above might seem
rather strange proceeding, inasmuch
as all the checks and balances which
scientific jurisprudence maintains were
eliminated, but in view of the fact that
the Hast half dozen criminal commit
mentS from this place were quashed,
some never having been brought before
the grand jury and Others thrown out,
though plentiful evidence-not called
for-was obtainable, if the county has
to pay all the preliminary expenses, al
least the people should get runs.fol
their money through publicity and moi
suppression. Matters have now reach
ed stage here where some of our peo
Pile discuss the desirability of having
an assembly hearing to inquire into
the conditions which obtain, and thu
reason therefor, for the purpose of re
moving the cause,

The last game ofthe season in Mount
Holly was played on Saturday, and il
resulted in Mount Holly's first defeat.
Determined to win regardless of cost,
Eddie Williams brought his mixed
team to town and did what he said he
was going to do, he beat Mount Holly.
In the pitchers box for Palmyra-River-
ton was LaFitte, who at one time was
member of the Detroit league team
and is said to be under contract with
Chicago for next year. At shortstop
was Russell Blackburn, Chicago's $780,
900 player, and there were other select
ed strong players. Mount Holly played
its regular team. Forbes was not as
steady as in the earlier part of the sea-
son. He sent McMullin down on balls
In the first inning, and Young reached
first on Forbes error. Stack got hit
which brought McMullin in, and Stack
got to second on an error. Blackburn
got a hit which scored the other two
men and the inning closed with three
runs to the credit of the visitors. In
the fifth inning Blackburn went down
on balls, went to second on a hit by
Kemmerle, and both men scored on a |
hit by Polls.
Mount Holly's single run was scored
N the sixth inning. After F. Foulks
md Forbes had been retired at first
base, Lawrie Gillian got a hit and
Icored on McCue's hit.
The score follows:

Election Results.

Senator Walter e. Edge, of Stlantic
county, has been chosen to be -. Re-
publican candidate for Governor and
will, from now on, make as earnest a
canvass for votes as he did prior to the
| primary election. He made the pre-
diction that he would get 20 of the 81
| counties for the nomination, but he
fell short of that. 1t is a question
whether his most ardent supporters ex-
pected that much. He did get II of the
counties, however, those lost being
bergen, Essex, Hudson and Middlesex.
senator Colgate did not get the large
vote he claimed in Essex, his plurality
being less than 10000. Senator Edges
plurallty IN the state was over 1000.
former Senator Joseph S. Freling-
nuysen won out in a good fight against
former Governor Murphy for United
oGat es Senator. He secured the nomi-
nation by over 1000 plurality, and was
very strong in the agricultural districts.
burlington county gave Mr.. Freling
nuysen substantial vote.
Isaac Bacharach, who has served so |
faithfully and so acceptably in the |!
House OF Representatives, received a |
unanimous denomination. Mr.. Bach !
arach has been at his post all the time |
and has kept closely in touch with his
constituents. Every request has been
given careful attention and there is not
the slightest reason why any change
should be made in this position.
In our county contests there was not
much struggle, except for the nomin-
alton for Surrogate. Charles A. Rigg
outdistanced his competitors by a
plurality.
Emmor Roberts was again selected
as the standard bearer for the Assem-
bly, and he made such very accepta-
ole official that he will be returned to
Trenton by larger majority than
when he first ran.
Charles A. Bovine has conducted the
lftalrs at the almshouse so we'll that
he Republicans did not care to make
change. The Democrats appeared to
,e OF the same opinion, but in order
hat the ticket might not be left blank
N that proposition John Dugan, of
dount Laurel, allowed his name to bel
sed.
Stuart w. mcfarland the county {
udltor, did not have any opposition
his own party, but Frank A. Hen
rlckson will try to beat him at the
lection.

Police Commissioner Arrested

When Chief of Police A. r. Broad
water, of Moorestown, set out to trap
dealers who were alleged to be breaking
the State law by selling cigarettes to
minors, the very first vioiator to fall
into his net was s. S. Dagger, who as
chairman of the police committee, of
Chester township, is the chiefs super
ior officer and politician long promi-
nent in local affairs. He was sentence
ed to pay fine of 81 and costs.
Broadwater rounded up several juve-
nile smokers and the lads, he says,
confessed they bought cigarettes from
Dagger, at his store near the railroad
station.
Dagger, angrily protesting he was in
nocent, engaged counsel to represent
him at the hearing before Magistrate
Petit. The local Women's Christian
Temperance Union also engaged {
lawyer to assist in pushing the cas-
against Dagger.
Dagger swore in court he had not solC
| the cigarettes. Five boys testified tn
cigarettes came from his store and tn
boy who bought them identified Dage
as the one who sold them to him.
The testimony appears to have bee
conflicting and there would appear {
be grounds for charge of perjury.

A Pilgrimage

A little group of lovers of WaltWhit-
man set out Sunday on a literary pill.
grimage to visit places hallowed by
memories of him. Meeting in Whit
man Park, near the Camden Ferry, at
$40 o'clock. they were led by Professor
j. Russell Hayes, of Swarthmore Col
lege.
Going first to the former home of the
poet in Camden, the pilgrims then
called on Horace Traubel, his literary
executor, and editor of The ConserudtOr
Next they went to Harleigh Cemetery,
where G. c. Walton. of Swarthmore,
read Robert Ingersoll's eulogy of Whit
man. From there the party motored
to the Westfield Quaker Meeting, and
had luncheon at Banksmere, the home
of David III. Wright, at Riverton.
A trip to Rancocas followed the re-
freshments, and the birthplace of John
Woolman, now the home of Granville
Woolman Leeds, his collateral descen
dent, was visited.
Lastly the pilgrims went to the
Woolman Memorial House, at Noun
Holly. Here addresses were delivered
by Mr.. Hayes and David FL. Wright
the latter reading a portion of Johr
Woolman's diary.

Preparing For the Hippodrome
SNectacle

0RSNASsSASs
On Monday morning the actual
work of preparing for the Forthcoming
engagement in Philadelphia of Charles
Dillingham's New York Hippodrome
sensation of last season, f'Hip Hin
Hooray" began. This week the tech
nical and mechanical staff of the
worlds biggest theatre leave the Hip
podrome for New York to reconstruct
the stage of the Metropolitan Opera
House; install the artificial EGGPLANT
for the skating tank, and make all the
special mechanical preparations for the
premiere OF the great spectacle which
opens Saturday night, October 18th.
A new stage will be constructed in
sections SO that the stage floor proper
will conceal the ice pond used in the
spectacular ice ballet, which was the
talk of the entire country last wear.
The stage will be entirely rewired to
obtain the same electrical effects used
at the New York Hippodrome and as
soon as the mechanical changes have
been completed the entire production
will be brought to Philadelphia by
special train, consisting of twenty four
cars, for final dress rehearsals here be-
ginning Monday, October 9th. Charles
Dillingham's plan is to reproduce ex-
actIy the great pageant that broke all
records at the big playhouse in New
York last season. All the great stars
and all the brilliant features of last
year have been retained. The re-
markable organization, which is the
largest that has ever toured in Ameri
ca, will again. be headed by John
Philip Sousa, the noted bandmaster
and March King, and Sousa's Band in
the gorgeous Ballet of the States; and
will include the marvellous Charlotte,
the greatest skater in all the world, to-
gether with other imported ice skaters
in Flirting at st. Moritz," feature
which last season was credited with
starting the skating craze in America;
Nat M. Wills, the famous comedian;
Charles L. Aldrich, the comedy magic
ian; Harry Westford, Beth Smalley,
Albert Froome, William G. Stewart
and the Others of the original cast, to-
gether with the Boganny's, the Am
aranths, Lamy Brothers, MALTA &
Bart, the Baggage Smashers, and all
the'other European and native special
ties, not forgetting the baby elephant
Chin Chin, and the ponies and horses.
The ensemble will consist of three hun
pretty girls-and the en-
tire organization in its entirety will be
the most pretentious that any theatric-
al producer has tried to take on tour in
the world. Mr.. Dillingham's enter
prise will be watched with interest by
the entire country.

Court.

SOulls
Before any business was transacted
Samuel A. Atkinson adj
dressed the court and said that since
the last session there had been two
deaths, one of a member of the bar,
the other court officer, and he felt it
right that motion be made that COM
mittees be appointed to draft suitable
resolutions of respect for the deceased.
Judge Lippincott said the motion was
very timely and he would appoint
Samuel x. Robbins, Samuel A. Atkin-
son and George Nj. Hillman the COM
mittee to draft resolutions referring to
Israel Roberts, member of the bar.
The other death spoken of was that of
Surrogate Joseph Huff, and as a COM
mittee to draft the resolutions on Mr..
Huff the court appointed Charles A.
Rigg, V. Claude Palmer and Jonathan
H. Kelsey. These committees were re-
quested to report on the first day OF
the October term.
There was solitary criminal case To
take Judge Lippincott's attention. II
was that of Columbia Rector, a colored
woman who appeared in court with Q
I; baby, a year and halt old, in hel
arms. Columbia's offence consisted in
stealing several articles from Mrs. Ere
mont, in Pemberton. The woman haC
been working in the house and, as sh,
expressed it, she ''just took them.
She did not have any excuse to offer
said she did not know why she did ii
and had never done anything of tn
kind before AS the goods were all re
, covered, Judge Lippincott decided tina
placing the woman in charge of tn
probation officer for two years, withou
costs, would be sufficient punishment
The balance of the day was cOnsun
