the matter exactly reversed. The nus

desertion and instead Of his suing fol
divorce because of improper actions o.
his wife, it was the latter who made this
charge. Mrs. Apologize is very esti
mable lady and nothing has ever been
said that would reflect upon her charac-
ter. THE NEWS regrets having made
the error.

Four bids were presented to the town.
ship committee Thursday evening for
sinking an artesian well, but as they
did not comply with the specifications
they were all rejected. New bids were
asked for to be in by Thursday evening.
Among the bidders was the man who
drilled a well for the water company
some years since. He said that at a
depth of $50 feet water free from iron was
procured but something happened SO
that the well could not be used. In the
face of this statement giving $50 feet as
the depth at which water free from iron
can be obtained the township committee
decided to make the minimum depth of
the well 100 feet and the maximum depth
$50 feet. If pure, ironless water can be
secured at $50 feet why not 60 that
depth?
Charles Schumann died suddenly near
Wrjghtstown, Friday. He was employed
on his brothers farm and was engaged
in the barn feeding hay to portable
fork. AS there seemed to be hitch in
the work his brother called to Charles
and not getting any response he went to
the floor of the barn, where he found
the man lying, with blood flowing from
his face. He was picked up, but could
not give any account of how he fell OF
what was the matter. A hole was found
in the side of his head, probably made
when he struck the barn floor. Schu-
mann died soon after being taken to the
house and the physician who wasscalled
pronounced the cause of death to be
conclusion of the brain.
All the New Jersey troops that had
been summoned to Sea Girt have left fol
the Mexican border. The last two com.
mands, cavalry troops B and d, left on
Sunday evening. These companies had
been detained on account of lack of
horses. No orders have been issued fol
the mobilization af the remaining two
state regiments-the I'd and Sd. New
Jersey was the first eastern state to start
troops to the border, and the first state
to complete sending its quota of men
and equipment, consisting of three regi-
ments of infantry, two batteries, q
squadron, signal corps, and an ambul.
ance and hospital section. 1t required
300 cars to carry the men, equipment
and supplies.
Saturday night seemed to give the
police more trouble than they have had
for some time. First there was row on
the corner of King and Washington
streets, in which the combatants had q
dispute over a woman. An arrest was
made but the charge was let down tc
drunk and disorderly. Later there was
more serious disturbance. Some time
after midnight John McCluskey and
some friends were standing on the corner
when Samuel Morris, an Italian, went
to them and began to mix in. All the
parties had been drinking some but
Morris seemed to have the heaviest load
on and he made himself Objectionable
The others told him to move on and
they attempted to get away from him
when Samuel produced knife and cu
an ugly cash in McCluskey's arm. Nor
ris was committed to await the action O
the grand jury.
A New Office.
