The champion bear story of the season
comes from Edgewood, N. Y. A man
named Brown, living five miles from
that place, discovered bear feeding or

stealthily crept within throwing" dis
lance, when he covered bruins head
with the garment. Before the beaI
could free himself from the covering
Brown got close enough 10 get his hngert
around his throat. He squeezed hard
and the bear slowly succumbed to the
squeezing pressure and fell dead.

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.
A Great Convention of the Order at
Ocean Grove.

A Great Convention of the Order at
Ocean Grove.
Ocean Grove today will be well nlleo
with Kings Daughters. They are to hold
a convention and will come from every
part of the State. At $50 this morning a
special train of twelve cars left the Penn
sylvania depot.
Nearly four hundred Daughters were on
board bound for the convention. Detect
i've Pete Morris said he never saw so many
women and so few men. He thought all
the men must have gone to the Cholera
Banks fishing or they would never have
allowed their sisters and cousins to ride
so far alone.
As the train rolled out of the depot it
carried representatives of nearly all the
evangelical churches in the city; and at
Newark and other stopping places dele
cations were taken on.
At the grove Mrs. NJ. +. Bottome, presi-
dent of the Central Circle, will preside at
the convention, and she is thoroughly
fitted for the task. AL the delegates will
be distinguished by gold and silver
badges, and crosses on which will be in
scribed 81. H. N" (In His Name.)
1t is doubtful if any church society ever
grew SO fast as this one. 1t is only a few
years old, but its good influence IS felt
everywhere. 1t is non-sectarian, and lts
crosses are to be seen on the breasts OF
rich and poor.
The especially beautiful feature OF the
order is the great md good work1t has
done among the sick and needy-WorK
that makes no boast, but is done in secret
as the word of the Master directs.
In the steps of the Kings Daughters
as might have been expected, perhaps
have followed the Kings Sons, as we'll as
other benevolent and Christian societies.
The convention to be held today is Tor
the purpose of establishing a more thor
oughly harmonious manner of working
among Daughters belonging to the yari-
OuS churches.

The third annual excursion of Court

about ten o'clock.
The representations of the members of

two barges and the steamer which con-
veyed them to Oriental Grove on Long
Island Sound. Wives, children, sisters,
aunts, cousins and best girls swarmed on
board like bees, all dressed in holiday at
tire. There was no lack of solid and other
refreshment taken on.
There never promised O jollier time
and long before the excursion started the
uppe deck was crowded with dancers.
Seldom indeed have handsomer badges
decorated the breasts of officials than
those worn by the members of the various
committeemen in charge of this excursion.

The Static Riae Team.

Inc STATE hlue Ieam.
The plan for the selection of a State
rifle team, which was proposed by Briga-
der General and Inspector of Rifle Prac-
tice Bird w. Spencer has been abandoned.
The regular rifle practice of the guards
men was to have been completed previous
to the selection of this team. The fifty
men who made the highest scores were to
have been ordered to the range again to
compete for a place IN the team. The
fifteen men out of the fifty who made the
highest scores were to be the States rep
resentatives in the American match to be
shot on the range at Sea Girt next month.
Major Heber Brientnal and Captain
Schenck of the First Regiment, however.
have been selected members of the team.
This action has caused considerable feel
ing in both regiments. Not that these
gentlemen are not experts with their
rifles, but because there are other men
who can shoot equally as well and who
are anxious to compete for places on the
team.
Rain Damage in Orange, So, 900.
At the meeting of the Orange Council
yesterday Alderman Harrington, chair
mar of the Committee on Streets and
Highways, reported that the late rains
damaged almost every street in the CITY.
and at the lowest calculation it would
cost 5000 to put the streets in good con-
dition. He asked the Finance Committee
to see IL n of the other committees
could spare some of their apportionment
in order to meet this unlocked for ex-
pense.
Alderman Hanchett, chairman of the
Water Committee, reported that he had
visited the reservoir last Wednesday and
found the water within six inches of the
top of the dam, and he recommended the
widening of the overflow twenty-five feet.
