Had a Recommendation.

On Saturday, fellow came to the
stables of T. w. Williams and said he
was hostler, and showed papers of
the highest recommendation. He de-
clared his willingness to work Satur-
day and Sunday, for his board, only
just to show what kind of worker
he was. Mr.. Williams had some extra
work to do, and accordingly told the
fellow to go get good dinner at his
expense and come back and he would
give him some light work. The fell

Attempted Escape.

Charles Vanclief, colored, committed
to the Atlantic county prison at Mays
Landing in May last, charged with
placing distractions on, the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad, near Ell
wood, made an attempt to gain his
liberty early Friday morning. 1t is
the custom to lock. up, the prisoners
every night in their respective cells,
which was done as usual on Thursday
evening. On opening the main door
of the jail Friday morning, Deputy
Sheriff Moore discovered that one of
the iron bars of the cell in which Van
clief was confined had been sawed off,
making an aperture large enough to
permit of the egress of a man. On
making a search Vanclisf was found
hidden under the steps leading to the
second story. He was returned to his
cell = q

Messrs. Tuft d Fox to Arrange
a Great Exhibition for

the famous Pawnee Bill, and Cumber.
land county people will have an op-
portunity to witness one of the event.
of their lives, as it is only after a great
deal of skilful management and the
guaranteeing of large sum of money,
that Messrs. Tuft & Fox could succeed
in getting this great attraction to this
city.
! For over a month this great aggre-
cation has been doing an immense
business in Gloucester, the crowds at
tending every show numbering thou
sands upon thousands. All manner of
life as found in the far, uncivilized West
is pictured accurately by this combi-
nation. Bucking bronchos and wild
cattle are ridden with ease by the cow
boys, and Pawnee Bill and Miss Annie
Oakley, the champion lady shot, do
some really wonderful shooting.
Indians play prominent part in the
proceedings their lances and attacks
upon the stage coach being thrilling
to all. Mr.. Tuft authorized the Pro
NEBR to say that if any one has
wild steer which cannot be ridden, he
will receive a present of $40 if one of the
Pawnee Bills cowboys fail to mount
and ride him. The Wild West viii con-
tinue two days.
Beside this great attraction, the
management of Riverside Park has ar
ranged grand trotting race. The
first day there will be 227 trotting
class for purse of 5000, and 2.45
trotter and PAGER class for purse of
$3.50. On the second day there will be
800 minute class for purse of 800,
and a 2.3S class, trotters and PAGERS, for
$50. All entries to the races close
Aug. 25th at 12 III. Posters for the
great show will be putup mediately.

government Experiment at Vine-

- The experiments which have been
conducted the present season on Col.
A. w. Pearson's fruit farm, at Vine
land, under the supervision of the
United States Government, have re-
suited in some valuable and important
discoveries, particularly regarding the
culture of the grape. Prof. Scribner,
of the Agricultural Department, who
has been spending several days there,
expresses great satisfaltion as to the
results already obtained. 1t has been
demonstrated that spraying the vines
frequently with solution of sulphate
of copper and lime, known as Bor-
deaux mixture, will prevent both mil,
dew and black rotsneTI111 L syoTt} nsnlf
The spraying was begun on the
Pearson farm on May 28th, and effec-
tually prevented the rot where clusters
were exposed to the spray. Micro
scopic examination revealed the fact
that the grapes, after spraying, were
encased byyametallics eealing, which
protects the gFape!until washed off by
heavy lains or cracked by the growth
of the grape. The Department recon-
mends that the spraying be commenced
a week or two previous to blooming.
Experiments are now being made with
view to finding preventives of fun

cherries. ~ ......n "A sNss -

That Oil Cloth Factory,

We saw a letter Saturday from the
party who is negotiating for site
for an oil cloth factory. The gentle
mans letter has true business ring.
If he locates he will give employ
ment to about thirty hands the year
round. His reasons for changing his
location are legitimate. The product
of his present factory is floor and stair
oil cloths, table covers, carriage cloths,
etc., which amounted to over 800, 900
last year. He is expected to be here
in a few days and will be shown over
the city and surrounding country.
We hope he may be favorably i'm
pressed with this locality and stop with

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
Some ofits Important Provisions
Of Interest TO our Citizens.

OF Interest to our Citizens.
The new election law, passed by the
last Legislature, and which is designed
to secure honest elections in some parts
OF the State, which have not enjoyed
the luxury recently, applies to all cities
which are now by law required to make
a registration of voters. Under its pro-
visions our City Council have made ex-
celIent appointments, as it is designed
they should. BY reason of the delay
in Publishing the pamphlet laws, the
provisions of this act may have thus
far escaped the necessary attention of
those whose duty it is to make them eff
fective. We therefore give some
OF the important provisions of the law.
The appointees are not required to
live in the district in which they are
appointed to serve.
( If a vacancy shall occur on election
dey, it will be filed by the Inspector OF
the same political faith as the absent
Inspector.
The Inspectors must not be candi-
dates for Office at an election for which
they are appointed to serve.
The Inspectors duly qualified are to
constitute the Boards of Registry and
Election, and are to perform the duties
required by law. They are to appoint
one OF their number Chairman, who
will perform the duties of the old law
OF the Judge of Election; and another
OF their number Clerk.
The compensation allowed for the
work is the same as under the old law.
and is liberal enough to pay for good
service.
The act applies to all elections, State
or charter, general or special, in cities
where the registry law is now in force.

AN OUTBREAK OF"YELLOws.
The Peninsula Crop i'm q DeplOra.
BILE Condition..

WILMINGTON, Del, Aug 4. The
peach growers of the peninsula are
greatly alarmed at the sudden appear
ance of the ''yellows'' among the or
chards Of this state. The disease is
widespread, extending through the
entire peach district, and scarcely an
orchard has escapep this serious blight.
The crop just on the verge of ripening
is very seriously damaged, inasmuch
as. the ''yellows" very seriously affects
the quality of the fruit and will mater
tally reduce the quantity of peaches to
reach a marketable maturity. The
Government has had a man connected
with the Agricultural Department in
vestigating the ''yellows" for a few
months, but he has discovered neither
the cause nor a remedy and the grow
ers are at a loss to check the disease.
Some of the leading growers are of the
opinion that the yellows will decrease
the yield of marketable fruit predicted
for this year, and believe that instead
of the estimated 100000 baskets for
shipment there will be but little over
5000, 900 baskets of peaches sent to the
markets from the peninsula. The eff
feet of this visitation by the yellows

Fairton Glasswor3s.

The foundations for new glass
works have been dnished, and the
heavyaSframe work has been raised.
The work of enclosing and furnace
building will be carried on as rapidly
as possible. Saturday employees of
Cox y Sons, this city, took down the
boiler, and are getting it in readiness
to set. 1t is thought that the new firm
will be in readiness for the manufac-
turing of bottles by the first of Septem-
ber. The village folks think the new
glassworks will be bat one of many
enterprises that will now follow and
make Fairton boom.

Successful Season.

The Seaville Camp Meeting, which
closed last week was, in many respects,
one of the successful ever held in
South Jersey Grove, a result which
fully vindicated the action of the di-
rectors in holding the meetings three
weeks earlier than usual this year. The
next meeting will open July Goth, 1889,

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
A Successful Season Confidently
Looked For.

Everything points to a most favor
able season for the management of the
local Opera House, and it is thought
the result of the winters amusement
will be great success. The season is
of course, about month off, but al
ready Manager Moore has succeeded
in making attractions for some thirty
nights, and all of them are first class
and will draw well. Among the dates
already made are three companies
who will make week stands, they be-
ing Louise Arnott, who was so success
full in opening the house last season;
Kitty Rhoades, the one favorite of
Rridgeton, who last Spring did the
largest business ever done in the house,
and a dramatic company of reputa-
tion, under the management of Sey-
mour & StfaSton. The House will be
opened on the 4th of September with
Gorton's minstrels, and they will play
here two nights. They will be fol-
lowed closely by Peck & Fursman's
celebrated "Uncle Toms Cabin" com
pany, and then Louise Arnott will
hold the boards for a week. Mana
ger Moore still continues to be be-
siegeds by letters from companies anx
ions to secure dates, but none but the
best attractions will be received This
will certainly prove big season in
the amusement line.

STATE WEATHER SERVICE.
Weather Crop Bulletin for the
Week Ending Aug. 4, ISSS.

Week Ending Aug. 4, lSSS.
The weather during the week has
been most favorable for the maturing
crops. Copious local showers early in
the week broke the dry spell and was
most beneficial to the growing crops,
especially to late sown buckwheat and
corn. The continued cool nights have
greatly retarded the semi-tropical crops
in Burlington county. The cranberry
crop near Shemong is promising.
Grapes in the northern portion of the
State are SO far only slightly affected
with rot, and will be abundant, while
in the central and southern portions
they will not average half crop. The
indications are that the potato crop in
the vicinity of Freehold will be par
tial failure. s5A

Ihe Call Of the Secretary Of the
League. Instructions to
Clubs

The arrangements for the State Con-
vention of Republican Clubs, at AS
bury Park, on August 18th, are nearly
completed. The success of the con-
vention is already assured. The names
of the speakers at the ratification
meeting to be held in the evening, will
be announced in few days.
The Executive committee desires to
impress upon the several clubs that it
is OF the utmost Importance that all
information asked of the several clubs
be furnished at once. Only by so do
ing can confusion be avoided. The
Executive Committee wish to an
nounce:
Only clubs whose membership in
the State League is perfected prior to
August 18th, are entitled to represen-
tation in the convention A club hav-
ing adopted a constitution is admitted
to membership by voting to join, and
sending to the Secaetary an application
for membership, with list of officers.
Application blanks can be obtained of
the Secretary
Admittance to the convention will
be by ticket only. Upon receipt by
the Secretary,of the names of the dele
gates from the several clubs, delegates,
tickets will be forwarded by him at
once.
Arrangements have been made with
the Pennsylvania Railroad, whereby
the rates of fare from all points on any
of their lines to Asbury Park and re-
turn will be two cents per mile. The
usual rate is three cents per mile.
These tickets will be good on the 14th,
18th and 10th, and perhaps on the 18th.
Advantage of this reduction can be
obtained only by receiving from the
Secretary card order for the same.
This order will entitle the bearer to
purchase a ticket at the above rate, at
any office on the road. The Secretary
would request the severalclubs to send
at one time for all the orders that each
club will want. This will save a great
deal of labor. a,lsta.aSz.
