The woods are Fan Of sharpsrs.

The Woods are Full of Sharpers.
On the same day that William Shurts,
of the Junction vicinity was robbed, Mon
day, Aug. 18th, Wilson Pearson, rich
farmer of Solebury, Pa, was approached
by stranger, who said that he and his
wife were boarding in Lambcrtville and
that be was looking for farm for his
brother, that he might get him out of
Philadelphia. Mr.. Pearson told of farm
which was probably in the market, aud
the stranger got his consent to go with
him to see the place the next day. The
sharper was on hand Tuesday noon, and
Pearson accompanied him. Not far from
the end OF the lane they met man who
inquired for directions, and afterwards
showed a pocket book filled with green
backs. He then produced cards and ask
ed Mr.. Pearson TO pick up one, but he re-
fused, as he knew nothing about cards.
Sharper No. l drew the right cards
twice, but drove on at Mr.. Parsons sug-
gestlon to look at the farm first and then
return. When the land had been seen
the wagon was turned around. Mr.. Pear
son got out on pretense, after endeavor-
ing in vain to induce the man to go to a
creamery near by, where he hoped to
have him arrested. Mr.. Pearson told the
sharper he would have him arrested II he
did not leave the locality. The sharper
needed no other warning and whipped up
his horse and drove rapidly of, stopping
however, to take up his companion. -

More than year ago Mr.. Peter Hen

through the "Society of American Flor

lection OF plants, &C., to be made by
August last, the collection to be gathered

VIM. J. Stewart, the Secretary OF the So
ciety, letter in which he says: ''Your

AT meeting OF the congregation Of
the Pennington Baptist Church, held last
Saturday afternoon, 1t was decided by a
practically unanimous vote (only four
members out Of 1913 present voting in the
negative), TO extend an immediate call to
the Rev. DIR. 7. E. Vassar, (now OF Kan
sas City, to resume his old place as pastor
OF that people. DR.. Vassar holds warm
place 10 the affections OF the people Of
Pennington, and there would be general
rejoicing should he accept the invitation
to again take the vacant pulpit. Last
Saturdays meeting was by far the largest
business meeting In the history OF the

Another Rlr wash.nnt.


A sort Of "cloud bnrst visited our
city last Sunday afternoon, and for an
hour the rain came down in torrents.
Two showers appeared TO meet In this
section, and great deal OF damage was
done not only here but in the surround
ing country.
The creek at the head of York street
rose to a great height and broke over the
guard wall, as it did six weeks ago, doing
more damage than before.
The water came down York street in
great waves, from Is inches to 2 feet
deep, and passing down Franklin and
Main streets, filled the cellars all along
the way, with few exceptions, until 1t
reached Ferry street
Adjoining the break in the creek is the
residence of Mr.. ]. s. Everitt, which had
the front fence carried off and the earth
in the front yard washed off six weeks
ago, This had just been repaired and the
family moved in the house on Saturday.
The fence is again down and the ground
and property worse damaged than before.
Several of our store keepers had their
cellars filled, among them John j. Ger
man, James w. Carroll, Geo. F. Keller,
A. M. Satterthwaite, John Louden, John
Reinert and Abram E. Smith, who lose in
the aggregate from damaged goods large
sum. Watts bakery was filled with wa
ter and his loss is about 5000. The dam.
age done to the occupants of private
houses is also great.
The flats above York street were flood
ed and considerable injury done to gar
dens.
On Cottage Hin the damage done by
the rain was IL anything more serious than
down in the town. The street going up
to Cottage Hill and that leading to the
residence OF II. Mcdowell, ESQ.,, was
washed In great cutters, some of them SIX
feet deep and four or five wide, and it
will take hundreds of dollars to properly
repair them.
We understand that efforts are now be-
ing made to SO repair the break In the
creek at York street as TO prevent such
damage in the future. 1t is to be hoped
that it will be done at once.

r. W. H. and L. Co. Anniversary.

r. w. n ana II. Cos Anniversary
The celebration OF the twcnty-fifth an
niversary of the organization Of the Fleet
Wing Hook and Ladder Company, on last
Friday evening, was one of the most
pleasant entertainments given by that
company in several years.
The first part consisted of musical
programme OF great excellence. An or
chestra OF ten pieces, conducted by Mr..
A. L. Person and accompanied by Miss
Fannie Davis, rendered their selections In
a highly creditable manner; especially in
view OF the fact that Mr.. 9. A. Davis,
(who met with serious accident last
week., was unable to take charge OF it,
as had been expected. A violin solo by
Miss Stella Hawke, was especially enjoy
able, as were also two vocal selections by
Miss Ida Pierson.
After refreshments had been served,
Mr.. G. II. w. Van Solver, as Master OF
Ceremonies, with few appropriate and
well-timed remarks, introduced the speak
ers Of the evening. II had been expected
that DIR. ii. @. Wetherill, of Trenton,
would respond to the sentiment sour
Name but he was unable to be present
on account of professional engagements,
so that the only remarks on behalf Of the
company were made by Walter F. Hay
hurst, Esq, who in q very neat address
OF about fifteen minutes length, respond
ed TO sour Motto" He brought up many
pleasant "reminiscences in the history OF
the company, and complimented it on the
activity " Of its early members, and es.
pecially paid tribute 10 such of those
early members as continue TO stand by il
at the present time. He also expressed
their appreciation of their friends, and the
desire to be able to fulfill their duties as
firemen, and merit their approval in the
future.
q. A. Skillman, ESQ.,, In response to
"Our Friends said that the company
had many friends, and he was proud to
be one Of them and continued hisremarks
in friendly and pleasant manner to
some length.
Mr.. E. X. Solliday, on behalf Of "The
Ladies, made some remarks that were
full Of wit, pathos and sentiment, and In
spite of bis modest allusion to the elo-
quence Of the gentlemen who had pre-
ceded him, bis speech was received with
evident enjoyment.
After the speaking, more music was
rendered In an informal manner, and the
party separated at late hour.
Some illusions were made during the
evening TO the prosperity Of the company,
and to the recent improvement OF their
property, and desire was expressed that
their apparatus might be replaced by some
Of more modern and lighter construction.
The only regret expressed by the COM
papy was that their house had not been
large enough TO admit OF more extend.

The fifty American worlSmen who were
sent to Europe by the Scripps League
have arrived In New York with the I'M
animous opinion that there Is no place
like the United States. They had visited
the workshops of Great Britain and
France, but more especially the former,
and the consensus of opinion is that the
old-world way of manufacturing Is long
way behind that OF the the new world,
and that the condition OF the foreign
workmen Is deplorable when compared
with that OF the American. The result
OF their tour made manifest the fact that
there was nothing for American skilled
labor to learn in Europe, aud it also made
clear the incontrovertible fact that pro-
lection through the tariff has been the
means of improving the character OF
American workmanship as we'll as i'm
proving the condition of the workmen.
The Democrats Of New Jersey aud their
candidate Albeit want that tariff reformed
so that our workmen may be reduced to
the deplorahle condition of their foreign
brethren. Workingmen should remem-
Der this next election day.

SOUTH RosRDALE, Sept. Ia, 1889.
Mr.. EDITOR Having few leisure
hours, on account Of the storm Of the last
few days, thought would give you a
partial description Of this place, commonly
called East Camden.
In the first place, East Camden is COM
posed of several villages, viz: Riverside,
Pavonia, North Cramer Hill, South Cra-
MGR Hill, North and South Rosedale,
Dudley, Wrightsville and many other lots
of buildings between the above named
places, and all Of these places arc building
steadily along. Almost every day one
sees some new buildings on the move.
Quite a number Of those who build here
do business in Philadelphia and the most
Of those who build here are good class
of people.
BY the way the Rosedale District has
an anti-liquor clause inserted in every
mans deed forbidding the making or sell
ing of any Intoxicating liquors. Part Of
A'outu OtontSh AttAt has tHU bdttt pfouAuh-
ton, but Wrightsville is free for all, and
the way the knocked-out Philadelphia sa-
loonists are flocking in here is caution
to all decent and honorable citizens.
Rosedale is about two and half miles
from Camden depot and about one mile
outside of the city limits, with two good
turnpikes running through the place and
the street cars are coming slowly but
surely, and the Mount Holly Railroad
passes between North and South Rosedale.
Forsy-four trains day pass over this
road and thirty-two of them stop at this
place. The amount OF produce that goes
through this place 10 Philadelphia is sur
prlsing. There is almost steady line of
wagons, loaded with everything that grows
on the land and no let up to them day
and night. The amount is simply i'm
mense. just now sweet potatoes take
the lead. One man said he dug and carted
to Philadelphia every day one load of
seyenty-five baskets and he would have to
cart fifty days to get all his crop off.
With these few dsarranged items, close.
Yours, ROVER.

-Acidulated South Carolina rock is
sometimes sold as dissolved bones. Some
farmers buy it as dissolved animal bones.
Dissolved animal bones contain ammonia.
Ammonia is the most expensive feriilizing
element and should be found in every
phosphate you put in your soil. Acidu-
lated South Carolina phosphate rock does
not contain any ammonia, therefore it
should be sold at a very much lower price
than an animal phosphate. Baugh's ami
NAL bone $25 phosphate is the cheapest
and one of the best you can use. Order

-Alexsauken creek was very much
swollen by the rain Of Sunday afternoon
and evening with little damage resulting,
but the rain OF last Tuesday evening
swelled the creek to such an extent that
in Its overflow at Blsckwell's mill dam, it
cut out gorge along the road that will
take much work to make the road In a
passable condition. The overflow OF the
creek ut the foot Of Mt. Airy hill, on the
York Road, spread far and wide and car
ried away the bridge that spans the east
branch, ON the road leading to Henry Hol-
combc's. Fences on the low land all along
the creek that were not substantial, were
swept away,

The fish that get away are the ''wop-
pers." j. NJ. Beers, one of Frenchtown's
veteran fishermen, reports the loss of a
rockfish the other day that he believes
would weigh about 50,lbs. When the fish
saw Jointly he thought he was nearly as
big fish as Jointly was man, SO to
avoid further disturbance he just slipped
off the line. Jointly will probably get on
his trail again one of these days or nights
then there viii be tussle, as lie intends
to challenge him again on sight. The
Pennington fishermen had better keep
away, though, or the big fish might swal-
low them. 1t takes practice to handle
some of these Delaware river fish. -sSgar.
