Emma Woodward Attacked by Thieve. Mrs. Emma C. Woodward resides at 510 TTnigtin avenue. She is fifty years of age, and very eccentric in her manner and speech so much so, in fact, that it is said that her mind is somewhat impaired.

At nine o'clock Wednesday night Officers Fox and Bullock were standing on the corner of Broadway and Kaigbn avenue, when they were startled to hear a muffled of "murder." Hurrying across to Mrs. Woodward's house from whence the sound came, they knocked in vain, and as the cry was repeated broke in the door. The interior was in darkness, but follow ing the sound of the' voice crying for help, they found Mrs. Woodward lying in one of the back rooms badly beaten and bruised, which she said was the work of two burglars, with whom she had a fight Medical aid was summoned, and it was found that in addition to severe bruises on the injured lady's face and body, one of her ribs was broken. Mrs.

Woodward is the wife of Byron Woodward, formerly a prominent lawyer of Philadelphia. Every three months she draws KJ00 at the office or the Lenten Val lev Railroad Company, in Philadelphia, from an investment This fact is known to the colored people in her neghborhood. and some of them are frequent visitors at the house. Wednesday she came to ii. Sydney Scovel, Esq her lawyer, to get him to accompany her to Philadelphia to draw this money.

He informed his client that she was a day too soon, as the money was not due until Thursday, she return ed home. It is supposed that some one acauainted with the fact that she had re turned and thinking she had obtained her money, broke Into the house lor the pur pose of getting it Mrs. Woodward says she was assailed by two men who wore masks, and that in resisting them she was mercilessly beaten and kicked insensible, and that on regaining consciousness she called for help, when the officers found her. The thieves hurriedly ransacked the house, but found only about two dollars in money, which they took, together with a few small articles or some value, 'ine police officials are investigating the mys tenons affair. POSTAL INSPECTOR ABELS.

Postal Ispector William Abels is slight ly better, and hopes to come around all right shortly. The memory of events connected with his trip to Leba non, near which place he was assaulted, is still very faint From the evidence of the postmasters at Lebanon and Avon and Mr. Abels' notes and vouchers, it is evi dent that he was attacked while walking from Lebanon to Prescott, a small place three and a half miles east of Lebanon Mr. Abies has a shadowy remembrance of struggling with one or more men. lie was evidently struck from behind with blackjack, as his hat is crushed in.

lie was round Dy a tanner and taken in a wagon to Avon, and the postmaster there, Mr. If. Light, recce nized the injured official and conveyed him to Lebanon, where he bought a ticket for Philadelphia, and finally arrived at his home at 106 Penn street this city. Tne strangest part of the matter is that Mr. Abels has not the slightest idea or now ne got home.

This loss of memory is due to the shock of the blow on his head, and his physicians say it will probably be recov ered. As soon as the doctors will allow it Mr. Abels will return over this route in company with Postal Inspector Barrett, of Philadelphia, in the hope that the scenes will refresh his memory, so that the mat ter can be thoroughly investigated. Offl cers are now on the track of a criminal who is suspected of the attempt to murder In pec tor Abels, who has had a warrant for the man's arrest since last June. OPENING THE COURTS.

It has been whispered around for some tine that a formal complaint is to be pre sented to the present Grand Jury against the Board of Freeholders for certain loose transactions of theirs during the past year, and the manner in which they have at various times violated the laws in regard to paying illegal bills and overrunning appropriations. These rumors took shape in an article in the Philadelphia Record on Thursday but a tour of the city among those most likely to know of such action failed to clearly prove that it would be taken. Prosecutor Jenkins said he knew nothing of it, as did Sheriff Smith and his deputy, Mr.

Wooster. Other gentlemen who did not wish their names used said they un deratood such a course was to be pursued, and one person declared outright it should be done. Glo coster City Note.

They had been arrested the previous nignt on a charge of keeping a disorderly house which was the resort for questionable characters and a nuisance to the surrounding The house was located in Mnlford's Row. The Mayor read the complaint to the prisoners and asked them what they had to say for themselves They cried out in a chorus that the com- plaint was false and that they were in no cent of the charge. His honor, however, was inclined to have more faith in the complaint than in the denial of the prisoners, and he told them that they would have to furnish $300 bail each for their appearance at court or Cake an excursion to the Camden JaiL The McGills said they did not know where to secure bail so Officers Marple and Lyons took charge of them and escorted them to Camden where they were incarcerated in the county JaiL Jersey Inveatora.

Thackara, of Water ford township, had announced that he would not under any circumstances, be a candidate for re-election to the Board of Freeholders.

The bridge over Comanche creek, a little stream which serves the residents of Atco and Jackson as a boundary line, has been in such execrable condition for a year or so past as to threaten the destruc tion ot any team passing over it A posse of to the number of about a dozen got to work at it on Tuesday and put it in first class repair, and "inter-school district" communication is again established. An immense amount of thieving has been going on in the western end of Winslow township lately, and the henneries of the farmers and glassworkers about Tansboro have suffered great losses.

Half a dozen chicken coops were entered last week and fowls taken therefrom varying in number from one to six. A watch has been set over the coops in several places, and if the thieves are detected it will go hard with them. There promises to be a lively fight in Atco this year over the liquor question. It is alleged that at this term of court John Burdsell, who now sells liquor at that place under a government license, will apply to the courts for a license to keep a hotel, and it is further said that he has a good chance of having his application granted, as a number of the red dents think a hotel is a necessity there. There are others who think otherwise, and who object to liquor being sold in the place at all.

These are the people who will object to the license. Their argument will be, that the land on which Mr. Burdsell wants to sell liquor was sold originally under the provisions that forever afterwards liquor wss not to he Bold on the premises. It is a well known fact that all the property sold in Atco from the Richard's estate was sold under such provisions, all the deeds containing that proviso. Two Very Ugly Twine.

A New Tenearaellan Steamer Other Contracts) oa Hand.

Things at Dialogue's iron machinery and ship building yard at Eaighn's oint are booming, and there are orders enough on hand to keep the works running for five months. There has been just com Dieted an iron scbsoner-rigged, steam- propeller stesme'-, nuilt for the com mander of the Venezuelian army. The vessel is now waiting for clearance papers, and will start on her voyage to her owner in a few days. She is named the Augusta, and is intended as a transport, but in case of necessity can easily be fitted up as a war cruiser. The vessel is lio xeet long, ieet oeam, ana 12 feet depth of hold.

She was -built for speed, and is expected to prove one of the fastest vessels ever constructed at this port The Augusta will sail under the American flag, and will therefore be commanded by an American captain. She will ba sailed to her destina tion by Captain Peterson, of this port, and Captain Todd, who will command her in Venezuelian waters, and who has been superintending the work of construction, will go as a passenger. The port of des tination is Maracaibo, the capital of Venezuela, where the vessel will, be turned over to her owner. Work has been commenced on the new light bouse tender Madrono, for the con struction of which Mr. Dialogue secured the contract from the United States government The vessel is to be a screw pro pellor, 180 feet in length, and built of iron.

She is intended for use in the harbor of San Francisco. The keel is already laid and the ribs are being bent Work is delayed somewhat at present by the inabili ty to get iron plates from the rolling mills. This is explained bv the fact that the mills shut down for repairs during the holidays every year. It is expected that the iron can be procured next week. Two sets of large marine engines ana boilers are also being made at the Dialogue works.

to be placed in a vessel now being built there. In addition to these contracts a large amount of general repairing is being done at the works. A force of two hundred men is now employed, and at least one hundred more will be taken on in a week or two. MENTAL TRAINING." One of the most interesting, learned as well as instructive lectures ever delivered in this city, was the one read on Tuesday night by Dr. Dowling Benjamin before an audience in the Y.

M. C. A. at Third and Market streets, being one of the course arranged for by the managers this winter. Mr.

Benjamin took as his subject "Mental Training, or what shall we read." To illustrate his subject, the lecturer made a drawing on a blackboard of the brain, showing the seat of intelli gence and the course of the nerves through the brain, showing all the special senses The lecture was addressed to young people who have finished their attendance at the common schools, and who have no further opportunities for an education outside of tneir own enaeavoTS, put wno are uesirous of training and developing their minds as thoroughly as possible. Our education, said Mr. Benja min, "is generally acquired' after our leaving school, as the common schools only start an education and colleges do little more, since Greek and Latin are considered the standards of ability. Almost any young man can by a well se lected course of reading become as well informed as a graduate of college. The study of the natural sciences would be an excellent course of study or reading as they in the near future will be the foundation of an education." The doctor cited as to how of late scien tific journals had come into popular iavor and were now paying enterprises, and how the sciences were gradually obtaining a better show in schools and other institu tions of learning.

He then spoke of the great generals the world had produced, and the great writers and novelists and statesmen, but he held that the greatest of all were the scientists who had really civilized the world by their demonstra tion of what power the mind had over mat ter. Mr. Benjamin told of how he was startled by a young lady at a recep tion, recently, who grew very indignant hen she was told her diamonds were the purest charcoal, when it was the best com pliment that could be paid them. "Then," continued the doctor, -the mind will have food, but the power of the brain to store up matter is limited. Everything we learn takes up so much space, which leaves just that much less to fill; therefore we should be careiui wnat we read.

footman may wonder at the knowledge of the philosopher, while he will nave just as mucn information stored up in his own brain but it will be of a different kind. To a young man two or three novels by standard authors will be sufficient to read in the first year, but each course of reading will have to be arranged for each person, as there can be no general course to suit all. There are a large number of people who read what ever chance puts in their way, with no system or definite purposes, but merely to kill time, which is one or the most pernicious and hurtful of practices. By per sonal investigation I have found that ninety per cent of the books taken from libraries are works of fiction. People who read this way soon lose all desire for solid reading or knowledge as it gives them a wrong or emotional idea of life.

Philosophers are not born, they are the necessary result of reading one kind ot literature instead of another." In conclusion, the ductor stated that persons should devote at least three- fourths of their reading time to their avocations and the remainder to newspa pen, of which they should take two dailies and one weekly, all by different editors, so as not to become biased in their opinions. The lecture was full of many excellent passages, which shortness of space will not permit the presentation of. QUAKER CITY YACHT CLUB. Quaker City Yacht Club, held Wednesday night at the club house, at the West Jer sey Ferry. Mr.

W. J. Thorman presided. The treasurer's report showed a balance on hand of $31 00. Orders wt re drawn for $17 60.

Blanks were received and distributed among the owners of yachts in the club for them to fill out, giving, a description of their yacht, so that couia be published in the omcial list of the American Yacht Club.

If the yacht had been struck ten, feet further forward she would have been sunk, and the damage done would have been almost unrepairable. She will be overhauled and repaired and take part in the annual regattas.

At a recent meeting of the West Jersey Surveyor's Association, the following offl cers were elected for the ensuing year President, Hon. William Parry, of Cinna in son; Vice President, Gen.

Herbert C. Felton was elected Secretary, Treasurer and Superintendent, and Na than Francis, Clerk. It was decided to make no changes at present, in the opera-, tions of the company. For the past eight months the Pennsyl- vania road has been using upon its trains a newly patented device which establishes connection between passenger cars and locomotive by means of air tubes instead of a bell cord. It has now adopted the system permanently.

The new system gives the best satisfaction, and is not only more ffective than the bell-cord, but is -more convenient In a number of respects. If the passenger will listen when Jthe conductor gives the signal to start he will hear a little whistle, the sound issuing from the cab of the locomotive. As yet there have been but eleven licenses taken out by the one hundred saloon keepers now selling liquor in this city. This state of affairs has been brought about, it is rumored on the streets, by the expectation that at the next meeting of Council a strong effort will be made to have the license fee reduced to seventy-five dollars the old figure. This effort, it is stated, will be backed up with several hundred dollars in cash raised by the saloon keepers, with the understanding that a certain member of Council is to be seen.

The money has all been raised, and has been placed in the hands of a well known party, who will use it to the best advantage. The first social of the season given by the young ladies of St. John's P. E. Church, at Broadway and Royden streets, Wednesday night at Wild ey Hall, Fifth and Pine, was a very enjoyable affair and quite a handsome sum was realized to wards paying off the debt on the new parish building in the rear of the church, i which is not yet quite completed.

The I evenings entertainment opened with a series of tableaux, which were very finely shown, and some few recitations by Mr. Beasley. These were finished at half past nine when the hall was cleared of its benches and dancing was the order of the evening until midnight. A party of Camden and Philadelphia capitalists are perfecting arrangements for erecting a large and elegant roller skating rink at Broadway and Mlckle street It is the intention of the builders to so erect the rink that when the roller skating craze dies out to change the structure into wellings. Granville W.

Bazby is at the head of the affair, and proposes to make it an attractive place of resort, and also to make it a headquarters for the Camden bicyclers. In other cities roller skating has become (the popular winter amusement, and thee is hardly a town of any importance in our State that does not possess a rink, and all are welljiatronized.
