queer shooting Case at Newark.

David Borles, young colored man,
and companion, on Tuesday evening,
were walking along the public read by
the Catholic cemetery, Newark, suddenly
found that he was shot In the neck, a
bullet having struck him. The wound
bled profusely, but was not very painful.
Yhe mysterious part OF the matter was
that neither Borles nor his companion
heard any noise whatever, nor saw any
body. The boys at once sought the office
of DIR. Kollock TO have the wound
dressed. An examination showed very
serious bullet wound In the side o, the
peck about two inches under the ear. The
doctor probed to the depth OF two inches
without discovering the ball, which is
thought to be located near the jugular
vein. The injury is quite serious, though
the boy experiences but little pain. How
or where the bullet came from remains a
mystery.

Lenus L. Messick, furniture dealer,
Second street above Tatnall having pur-
chased the old Union M. e. Church, has
Just had 1t torn down, for the purpose OF
erecting stores upon the site. Oh open
ing the corner stone, which was below
the surface, 1t was found that the tin box
put In the stone was almost decayed. IL
was IN inches square and five inches
deep, and on the top was coat OF soft
black mud. The paper contents were
nearly all rotted, but In some OF the
Jumps there were few legible scraps
which showed that among the conten ts
was an almanac giving the dates OF a
number of revolutionary battles, and n
paper contained some scraps Of foreign
news. From the b ackened mass the FOL
lowing articles were taken and are now
In possession Of Mr.. Messick.
The gum arabic medal, upon which the
letters "Wilmingurch" were discernible;
an American quarter-of-a dollar, date
1910; Spanish halEdollar, date l7sii a
dime, date 1915; a dime, date 1872; q
hall-dlme, date lS45. 49,.
The lot upon which the church stood Is
48. 5xS5, and upon 1t Mr.. Messick will
erect large furniture store, 30x60 feet,
and trimming store lS.5x30, with a
dwelling combined extending hack with
the furniture store. The buildings Will
be three stories high, and the third story
will he used as hall for lodge meetings,
1t is expected that the buildings will be
finished and stores In operation In season
for the holiday trade next winter.
The old Mon Church had an eventful
history. The society itself that I'D Il
building the church was organized In
1877, and it then met at Third and Orange
streets.
In 1919 the building was commenced
which Mr.. Messick has just torn down.
The corner stone was laid with Masonic
ceremonies, but meeting with financial
difficulties the building was abandoned
when the walls were up. There they
might have stood much longer had moi
Miss Margaret Rumiord, in the fall oil
1919, taken the matter In hand and BY
her own pfrsonal energy raised money
enough TO put the building under roof
THIS devoted lady, who yet resides at No
lO7 East Sixth street, collected whatever
she could that could be turned to use II
building the church. From one man sh,
got the sash weights, from another s.
worth OF sand, from another nails, from
another hinges, AID one man who wa
NlP oSa w INV PioJshe ohNitA hti W
worth OF tobacco and cigars to bluff he

ste took them and traded them fo
groceries for use in her family and pait
in the IS. Through her exerlions tn
church was finished, and In 1850 Rev
Andrew Manship was sent to take charg
OF 1t. On the first days services Mic
Rumiord and another lady Joined ant
became the first members.
Miss Rumi6rd, however, Is the oldee
