* County Physician Iszard has ordered Coroner Tomlinson, of Gloucester, to hold an inquest in the case of John Kirk, the young Philadelphian drowned on Sunday at the mouth of Timber creek, after a row in a boat.
* The failure of his counsel to get a writ of habeas corpus, induced saloonkeeper William Gallagher, of 106 Kaighn avenue, convicted of Sunday selling, to pay his $50 fine yesterday and secure his release from the county jail.

* Efforts to save the arm of Lincoln Prutzman, a Pennsylvania Railroad brakeman, whose elbow was crushed last Wednesday while coupling cars, have proved unavailing, and the Cooper Hospital surgeons will amputate the injured member to-day.
