County Physician Neafie and Under taker Clayton both wejntt after the body of a man who was found. lying along the road leading from Gravel Hill to MUhurst Sunday morning. But the man proved to be drunk." Suspicion that there might have been foul play caused numerous other autoists to visit the scene when the "body was first reported.

Isaac Gravatt of Gravel Hill, first discovered the man, his horse tied to a fence and he lying In the grass at the roadside. So utterly had alcohol paralyzed the man's body that it was difficult to see him breathe and, indeed the first on the scene could not see him breathe. Mr. Gravatt reported the "find" to William F. VanDerveer, who operates the H.

D. Hance where the "body" lay, and Mr. VanDerveer reported to the ceunty physician. In the meantime Undertaker Clayton was also directed to proceed to the scene and take care of the body. The county physician and the undertaker readily recognized a "dead drunk" from a dead body and their their official duties with a glance and a test of the pulse.

The man proved to be Holmes Anderson of near Smith-burg. He woke up about 3 o'clock that afternoon. TWO HARVEST HOMES WEDNESDAY EVENING.

At Tennent 1,581 suppers Were served. In addition 650 quarts of ice cream were sold, as well as four bushels of peanuts and a large quantity- of bananas and candy. The gross receipts were $1,450.

With exception of about four years ago the 'attendance was the largest on record. That the Clarksburg harvest home Is growing In popularity was evidenced by the fact that the attendance was the greatest In the history of the annual About 600 suppers were served and many Were turned away' unable to get to the tables, but the women of the church promtee that this will not occur again, and that they will be prepared next time to serve all comers.

IT COST JOHN KIPP AND PARTY 17,000 TO COVER 2S0 MILES TO THE COAST. Some weeks ago The Transcript printed a letter from John Kipp, who at one time lived -with the late Thomas Jackson at Adelphia, but who has been for a number of years In Guadalajara, in southern Mexico, where he has a large store and has acquired consider able wealth. In his letter Mr.

Kipp suggested that it might be difficult for him to get away from the country in case he needed to do so, because of the antipathy of the Mexican to all Amer icans. a letter written by a friend In Los Angeles to a friend in New Jersey it has been learned that Mr. Kipp escaped from Mexico without bodily injury, but that the traveling he did was very expensive. His friend writes that he came in looking like a tramp, as well he might, for he had made a portion of the trip to Los Angeles in a freight going in the car to the coast. At the coast he was under protection of a United States battle ship until a steamer was found tM, take him to Los Angeles.

He was the last American to leave Guadalajara, coming out with the Methodist bishop and the American consul. They paid I $17,000 for the freight car for the 250- lmile trip.

Mr. Kipp has not seen his family for two years, as they are living In Texas, out of harm's way.

As Indicative of the ways of the country, the writer says that whenever Mr. Kipp sat upon his front porch he considered it neces sary to have two shot guns close at hand. He says his home cost $80,000 gold and he hated to leave it: also, that he left a stock of merchandise in Jiis store amounting to $350,000. He left his store in charge of a Mexican and a Canadian, with instructions to have the French consul put the French seal on the place I f.Uiet-was of loots Mr.Kln. sasis- nobody, respects an American in the portion of Mexico where he has been living.

With the four districts missing and figuring the ratables in those districts the same as last year there is an Increase of $2,324,340. The total taxable, ratables last year were $111,898.7. But three of the 35 assessors who handed In their duplicates Tuesday re ported jjecrefUMg in their assessments.

These were Holmdel, Freehold and Englishtown. Englishtown decrease was slight, $4,036, and the assessor, Ira D. Hulsart, explained that the electric light plant in-his ballwtck, which he had previously assessed at lu.uuu, is now practically worthless except for junk, as the plant has been abandoned. Another cause for the decrease in his district, he said, was the fact that one property holder had recently explained to him that several acres or his rarm. containing his farm buildings and stock.

were outside the borough limits and therefore not assessable in -the borough, though his house and furnishings are still assessed in the" borough. The Freehold town assessment shows a decrease of $57,650. Last year the ratables were $3,010,000 and this year the duplicate shows a total of $2,952,350. The decrease Is accounted for largely on the fact that several reductions were made on properties on appeal' to the county' tax board last year, and It. N.

the assessor, was directed to equalize his assessments with those of the township assessor and this also resulted in some reduction. The books of Alex. McCleeS, asses sor of Holmdel, showed a decrease Of the assessment of last year. This. Mr.

McClees explained, was large ly due to the depreciation on automobiles and the consequent lowering of the assessment on them, while in several instances he had found that his previous assessments on. buildings were too high. These he had lowered, as well as others because of depreciation by age. The assessors who failed to hand in their duplicates, as the law requires shall be done the first Tuesday in Aug- ust, will be reported to the state tax board on order of William K. Dever-eaux.
