he court house. The water from
his fountain is objectionable, as it

or this reasc* the board decided to i
lo away with the fountain altogether.

New Year Reception.
]
Perfect in every detail was the
nagram party given by Mr. and Mrs. 1
ones A. Williams, at their palatial 1
tome on Railroad avenue, last Fri- ]
ay evening.
From the crimson carnations en- *
wined in the dark hair of the hostss.
lending just the needed bit of
oloring to her handsome costume of j
earl grey messaline, the color (
cheme of red was effectively fol
awed, both in decorations and re- i
reshments.
The beautifully polished dining
able was indeed a dream, having as
ts centre piece a great mass of
rimson canations, with festoons of
he fairy like smilax reaching from
he table to the chandelier above,
lere and there were touches of red,
a Christmas bell, or festoon, making
he already exquisite rooms most atractive
to the artistic eye.
The gay party which thronged the
arlors and reception hall until a
ate hour, enjoyed to the fullest exent
this unique method of entertainaent,
as was evidenced by the merry
eals of laughter that came unceasQgly
through the evening. We beieve
that the person calling out Wesey
as a biblical character, or that
>ne classing hash as a vegetable,
Qight not have been very far wrong.
The game being concluded Mrs. E.
il. Hooton was found to be the winter
of the ladies' prize, Mr. L. P.
IcMillan, the gentleman's prize, and
Irs. C. J. S. Brooker and Mrs. W. A. ]
dauber the consolation prizes. (
Mrs. Williams was efficiently as- (
isted in her duties as hostess by her (
harming sister, Mrs. J. C. Lewis, and
bree little maidens, Nell Black, Harie
Delle Free, and Mildred Knight.

Philadelphia, Pa., January 2.?The
thereabout of Roberta B. DeJanon,
;he 16-year-old heiress, and Frederck
Cohen, the Bellevue-Stratford
taiter, who disappeared on last Wedlesday,
is as much a mystery as ever.
The disappearance of the waiter's
tife from her boarding place here
las added another element of mys:ery
to the strange case.
It was reported early to-day that
i couple answering the description
)f Cohen and Miss DeJanon had been
jeen in the vicinity of Lancaster, Pa.
i detective discovered that the supposed
elopers had taken a trolley
joing to Lancaster. Ferdinand DeJanon,
the girl's' father, and her
grandfather, Wm. Buist, the millionlire
seed dealer, left this city late
ills afternoon for Lancaster. There
ill the trace of the missing couple
vas lost.
Another clue led in the direction
>f Trenton and New York, but late
;o-night this also was said to have
proved false.

John, with two companions about
lis own age, were out hunting with

occurred. His companions in

and the exact details are not
vnown. It seems, however, that two

vhile John Dodd was standing near.
Dne of them was explaining how to

meal was served in his cell.
Except when his "pedigree"
