To find his wif dead and bis savings missing was the experience that August Steinbloom. a farmer of the outskirts of Hammonton, when, after waiting for the dinner bell to ring, went to his home to investigate. Steinbloom was working in the field spraying trees, he says, and failing to be summoned to dinner went to the house, where he found his wife. Fanjiie, 36 years old. dead from carbolic acid poisoning.

When an undertaker called to take charge of the remains, Steinbloom sava, he went for his1 savings of $400 and found them gone. The husband and wife have had domestic, troubles and the woman, it is believed, evidently died a Five children survive her. Lionel Friedmann, representing John Spccinl in The Inquirer. ALLENTOWX, Feb. 19.

The attempt of County Teasurer Deville R. Sell to get revenge on the County Commissioners for having him and his conduct of his office investigated recently proved so baseless when an effort to call a hearing today was made before Controller Cyrus J. Dilcbcr that the case fell of its own flatness. The counter-attack of Treasurer Sell was an attempt to get square with the commissioners for the recent probe in which it was revealed that, in turn for Lis deposting all the county funds in the Emaas National Fank. that institution 4had paid him for his services as a "'runner." this amount being made up of a "camouflage fund' established by deducting moneys from ARRIVED YESTERDAY on the exchange, very seldom changed hands.
