their prisoners with them. The British
pursued no further. /, Shelby said after

of officers with him as vo'unteers. Our
troops were thinking of making attack
on Ninety-Six, but just then they
learned of the disaster that had bcfaii-
Ell our arms at Camden and decided to
retreat to their friendly mountains to
the northwest. They were pursued by
a strong detachment of the men of the
notorious Ferguson" who at one time
were only thirty minutes ride behind
the Americans; but being unaware Of
this, turned back. Shelby and his men
went to their homes beyond the noun

DIAMOND MART GOES
Noted New York Institution Passes
Into Oblivion.

Into Oblivion.
New York's diamond curb market,
Operated for years on the edge of the
diamond zone, today appears likely to
follow the famous curb stock market
into oblivion.
Licensed merchants on Maiden Lane
long have fought operation of the curb
'at John and Nassau streets, a stones
throw from their establishments and
recent arrests and fines imposed for
obstructing the sidewalks and for dis
orderly conduct have thinned the
ranks of those who, like their brothers
in London, have traded fortunes in
stones in crowded doorways.
Street sales nowadays are neither
so numerous nor so obvious. Only q
few groups of their curb brokers'
said by Maiden Lane ito be ex-em-
ployces Of diamond houses-can be
seen whispering and displaying their
wares. Coupled with the protests of
established houses, the police have
been moved to forbid lettering be-
cause one side of John street, under
repair, has been closed to traffic and
foot space is nearly as precious as the
stones the merchants carry in their
vest pockets.
An exact estimate of the curb's deal
ings is unobtainable, for in most cases
the brokers carry their financial state
ments as we'll as their wares, in their
pockets. Many gems of great value.
however, are known to have exchanged
hands The brokers are expert judges
of stones and name their price after
what appears to be the most cursory
inspection.

EL0PINC COUPLE
LOCATED

LAMBERTVILLE-Word was re-
ceived here recently that Theodore
Vert and Mrs. Helen Roschert, who
are alleged to have left this city to-
gether on Tuesday night, January 25,
have been located in Philadelphia by
the police of that city, and were to be
arrested and extradited to this State
upon presentation of proper authority
from the prosecutor of this County.
1t was alleged, and generally
accepted as facts, that they boarded
a train at Trenton after the break
down of an automobile which had been
taken from the garage of Elmer
Smith, Of Church street, and laban-
doned in Morrisville late the night of
their disappearance.
Mrs. Roschert, it will be remem-
bered, deserted her husband and sew
eral children to go with Vert, who is
a number Of years her junior. 1t is
probable that he will be prosecuted
under the Mann White Slave Act,
which makes the crime a rather seri-
GUS one. Roschert has said he would
forgive him wife if she returned to
the children, but Wert's mother has
declared that she would not allow him
to return to her home. He is single
and was employed in the grocery store
of Raymond Stout.

LLOYD GEORGE FIGHTS
FOR CAREER

With the opening Of the British par
lament last week Premier Lloyd
George once more faced the hardest
fight Of his career" But he is used
to that new, and probably will again
emerge victorious over his opponents.
To be sure the opposition is unusual
ly powerful this time, and, has been
re-enforced by the addition of the
Cecil brothers, Lord Robert and Lord
Hugh, who are quite influential. As
soon as King George had delivered
the brief address from the throne the
fight egan in the house of commons
Herbert Asquith, former premier, and
]. Ii. Thomas. labor leader, heading
the attack. Naturally the Irish ques-
tion supplied their chief ammunition
In reply to questions the premier said
the situation in Ireland had improved
greatly in the last six months and that
if the British people would have pa
tience order would soon be restored.
"Boycotting has completely ceased, 20
he said. "Sinn Fein courts have dis
appeared; the police are recovering
their authority, and the magistrates
are coming back to the courts"

Local Business Man
Branches Out

LAMBERTVILLE = Mr.. E. E.
Hawk, local real estate dealer, is
finishing plans to open an office in the
centre of the town for the increased
business in properties and at the same
time to install agencies for fire insur-
ance, automobile insurance and casu-
altv insurance.
He plans to form partnership with
progressive young man whose name
he is not yet ready to announce. This
partnership will enable him to carry
on the extended business that will de-
velop across the river in Pennsylvania
He has secured general brokerage
to divide his time between the two
territories.
Mr.. Hawk was born in Newton,
n. j., where he spent most of his life
on the farm. Later he was located in
Morristown, n. j., in farm work. Ten
years ago he came TO this community
and purchased farm a mile above the
town. This was known as the "Ellzene
Stock Farm" He developed a runner
ative business in blooded stock which
was sold two years ago to L. R. Hsr-
ris. He moved into Lambertville at
his present address, 1873 North Union
street.
In July, 1919, he began handling
real estate transactions on n purely
commission basis Since that time he
has sold forty-nine properties in
Lambertville proper and 27 prop
critics in the surrounding commu-
nifty. The business has grown to such
an extent that it demands a centrally
located office and a partner to assist
in the added work Of fire, casualty
and auto insurance. The final plans
for the location Of the office have not
been made, but will be announced at
an early date. The Office will be
opened about April.
MIR. Hawk is true type Of the pro
gressive business man. 1t is graft
tying to find a man in such a small
community with such energy and pro-
gressiveness. The same ability that
made his farm work a success is max
ing him a name in the business Of the
town. Altho we realize that such men
are needed on the farms Of the coun-
try in these days Of the tendency Of
people to go to the cities, at the same
time such a man is highly valuable
to the progressive spirit Of any COM
munity. We speak for Mr.. Hawk a
continued success commensurate with
the year and half he has just ended
in his work.

TOWN FATHER
DEAD II YEARS

LAMBERTVILLE- Corvell
captain in the Revolutionary Army.
and the last surviving pall-bearer at
George Washington's funeral, died in
this place seventy-one years ago on
February 18, 1850, and was buried in
the graveyard of the First Presbv-
terlan Church, where his tombstone
yet occupies prominent place.
Captain Coryell was 81 years of age.
having been born in 1853. and was one
of Lambertville's most prominent citi-
zens. 1t was planned the time the
post office was established here. in
1913, to have it called Georgetown. in
joint honor of George Washington and
George Coryell, but Jonathan Lambert
was then United States Senator and
gave 1t the name of Lambertsville,
which was changed to Lambertville on
March l, 1S49.
Some writers have disputed Captain
Coryell claim to being pall-bearer
at the funeral of the immortal Wash
lngton, but 1T has been explained that
Lieutenant Moss was taken suddenly
Ill at the time of the funeral, and Cap
tain Coryell being next in rank in the
Alexandria (Va.) Lodge of Masons to
which General Washington belonged,
was assigned to the vacant place. He
described the scenes to Lambertville
people who have been living within
the past few years, so that there is
no doubt of its correctness. He was
also a personal friend of the Father
of His Country and remembered
many things about this internationally
famous character.
The Coryells paid a prominent part
in. the early upbuilding of Lambert
vile, and many believed that the town
should have borne the name of that
family. Probably, since its incorpora-
tion as city, Coryell City would have
been an attractive title, but SO many
business interests are interviewer in
the present name that there is little
likelihood of it's ever being changed.
even though it was the famous
CorYelFs Ferry of the American Revo-
lutisn.

CHIEF ARNETT
PASSES
10Th BIRTHDAY

LAMBERTVILLE-Fire Chief Geo.
W. Arnett, head of the Lambertville
department and the city's largest
property owner, was 70 years old last
Friday, having been born February 19,
1851.
Also, there's slip of a year and a
day in the history of Lambertville's
Georges" from 1859 to date, for
which the doughty fire chief is not
exactly responsible.
Between that pre- Revolutionary
date and today this community has
always had prominent (or destined
to be prominently George in its midst,
the famed George Coryell dying
sseventy-one years ago, and the now
better known Geo. W. Arnett being
born year and day later.
Chief Arnett has headed the local
department for twenty years, and to
say that he has always taken an
active interest in its growth is speak
ing conservatively. He has seen it
grow to the largest and best equipped
department in any city Of it's size in
the world. In fact, it is said by peo-
pie who probably know, that no other
city in the world with less than six
times Lambertville's population has
SO much apparatus and property.
This city boasts four complete auto
equipments, with a steamer in addi-
ton, each housed in two or more story
brick buildings, fully equipped. The
final auto apparatus was installed sew
eral years ago, and the steamer is
drawn by an auto truck.
Chief Arnett owns about 1875 prop
critics in this city, where he has re-
sided all his life, being contractor
and builder, as was his late father,
Cornelius Arnett, before him. He has
been active in work himself until quite
recently, when he suffered a nervous
breakdown, and has just returned from
Atlantic City where he was recuperat-
ing.
The chiefs friends wish him many
more birthdays and hope that he may
soon regain his usual vigor, for which
he has been famous.
