President William H~auenstein, OF
the Atlantic County Board of Elec-
tions, announced on Saturday that the
board would hold a meeting at the
City Hall, in this city, on Thursday
evening for the purpose of r~e-organiz-
ing for this year. The regular or
g%anization date is the first Tuesday in
July, but this year the day is a legal
holiday. Hauenstein received his
commission as a member of the board
for the eleventh consecutive time last
week, having already served for TWEEN
ty years. Clarence Petit, of Atlantic
City, also received his commission as
a member of the board for his first
term of two years. He will succeed
William Charlton, of Atlantic City, as
a Democratic member of the board.
The other members are Secretary
Harry Loyett, Democrat, and e. LIE
Roy Adams, Republican, whose terms
expire next year.
At the reorganization meeting
Hauenstein will again be selected for
president and Lovett will again be
made secretary. Both of these men

Office Will
Get Rural Delivery
Routes Shifted from Atlantic
City and Will Be Enlarged
to Serve More Territory.

Postmaster T. Harry Obert has an
nounced that there is to be a change
made soon in the Rural Free Delivery
of mail in this section. The rural
mail is now delivered from the Allan
tic City post office, and there are two
routes, one extending to Absecon and
vicinity and the other to points in
Egg Harbor Township. 1t Is proposed
by the Post Office Department to
make three routes in the future.
One of these routes is to be operat-
ed from the Pleasantville office, an
other is to be operated from the Abb
secon post Office and still another
from Linwood. Later it may be found
advisable to operate the latter from
the ~Pleasantyille office also. The
change will make a great reduction
in the number of miles to be travelled
by the rural carriers and will give the
service to additional country dwell
ers.
This change will also assist this
city in getting a free city delivery of
mail. One of the objections to grant
ing free delivery has been that it
would abolish the present village de-
livery and would cut off from service
a number of residents who would not
be included in the free delivery zone
by reason of the distance they live
from the post office. The extension
of the rural delivery would include
these outlying residents.
Postmaster Obert also stated that if
the residents of P"leasatnville would
give attention to the REMEMBERING of
their houses as prescribed by a re-
cent ordinance passed by City Coun-
Gil, it would materially help in get
ting free city delivery here. He said
that an inspector would visit this city
soon, and if the numbering conditions
came up to the requirements free city
delivery would probably soon be put
in effect. The sidewalk proposition
has been met in a manner satisfac-
tory to the department. Any property
owner can ascertain the proper num-
Der or numbers for his property by
applying to either Postmaster Obert
or City Clerk Andrews, both of whom

livery is turned down at the next in
spection of the city by a Post Office
Department inspector it will probably
be because the citizens have not given
the numbering of their properties
proper consideration.

State, where his presence may be re-
quired to hear motions in pending
cases.
The Vice-Chancellor has moved his
Offices from the Quarantine Trust

Gated.
When he opens court On Monday it

Shortly before 9 o'clock on Satur-
day morning, in his law office in the
Union National Bank Building, Allan
tic City, William H. Smathers took
the oath of Office as Common Pleas
Judge of Atlantic County, to succeed
Judge Ingersoll. The oath was ad-
ministered by County Clerk Edwin A.
Parker. Judge Smathers' desk was
banked with floral emblems, which
included pieces from many personal
friends and from the Atlantic County
Democratic Executive Committee,
Young Mems Democratic Association
of Atlantic County, Chairman Chas. 1.
Lafferty, of the County Executive
Committee and from the office staff.
After the oath was administered
Judge Smathers was congratulated by
many lawyers, personal friends and
leading Democratic politicians of the
county. One of the witnesses to the
taking of the oath was DR.. B. F.
Smathers, of Waynesville, North
Carolina, father of the new Judge,
who had come from his Southern
home to see his SOL SO signally hon
ored.
Judge Smathers expects b sit for
the first time as Judge in Atlantic

LIGHTNING STRIKES HAY.

During the severe electric storm on
Saturday evening, a large hay stack
was struck by lightning at the County
Farm, in Mortified. The local fire
men responded to the alarm while the
storm was at its heighth, and worked
over an hour to subdue the flames.
Several tons of hay were burned. The
hay was stacked in the rear OF the
Asylum and Almshouse, and it was
only by great efforts or the part of
those who answered the fire alarm
that the fire was kept from the build
ings.
DR.. C. NJ. Fish, according to his Gus
tom, was on hand during all the storm
to furnish hot coffee and sandwiches
to the men who were at work. DR..
Fish does this at all fires in the city,
and his work is greatly appreciated by
the firemen. Because of the severity
of the storm but few of the volunteer
fremen responded to the alarm, but
neighbors in the vicinity of the fire
gave valuable assistance.

with a question which. brought bit
ter-sweet pang to his body Suppos-
ing, even yet, and in, the face of
everything--supposing. should that
meeting prove suspicious. Torrie
might startle him with the claim
that II was not to late, that life be-
gan anew with every new day. that
they too might still. But he
smothered the thought as a woods
man smothers the Goals which, IL
unguarded, might grow into a con-
flagration.
Storrow, the next day, lost no
time in attempting to carry out his
decision to see Torrie. Those at
tepmts, however, were not alto
gether satisfactorily. He telephoned
twice to the huge apartment hotel
in which she was installed since her
success before being able to speak
to her for a moment over the wire.
Even then she seemed oddly hest
tating and restrained, so much so,
in fact, that Storrow finally con-
cluded that she had been speaking
with other persons undesirably close
to her. But she made an appoint
ment readily enough suggesting the
next afternoon, which was not a
matinee-day, at four o'clock.
The next day at noon, however,
a sedate-voiced woman who ex-
planned herself as Miss Throssel's
private secretary called Storrow
up on the telephone and requested
that the appointment be postponed
until Thursday at three, when Miss
Throssel would be disengaged and
very glad to see him.
1t was Torrie herself who called
up, when Thursday arrived, and
asked him II he could conveniently
make his call at five that after
noon instead Of three. She was
very, very busy, she explained in
q hollow and somewhat listless tone
over the wire, and she hoped the
later hour would not be incon-
venient for him. Storrow, as he
hung up the receiver and went
methodically on with his packing,
solaced himself with the thought
that she still remained in ignor-
ance of his decision as to Krassler's
action. And she would be less in.
different and less his enemy, he felt,
when she knew the truth.
Yet that momentary depression
of spirits returned to him when on
Thursday afternoon he presented
himself at Tories hotel and ran
the gsmut of door-man and office
clerk and uniformed page and sol.
emn-eyed secretary. Miss Thros-
sci, II appeared. was dressing, but
would be able TO receive him In
five minutes time.
