he having visited him a week. At
that time he was feeling better, but

Reduced Rates for Labor Day
Demonstration in Newark.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany announces that for the benefit
of parties desiring to witness the great
demonstration of the Knights of Labor
at Newark, on September I'd, it will
sell round "trip tickets to that point
from all stations on its lines in the
State of New Jersey, on September lst
and 3D. at one fare and third for the
round trip. These tickets will be good
for return on either the 2d or Sd of
September. This great reduction
from their regular rates will be duly
appreciated by all people interested in
labor organizations, and we have no
doubt that most of our citizens will
avail themselves of this opportunity
to visit Newark at nominal cost.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
A Splendid Exhibition Assured
Good TrOtting Both Days.
Other NOteS.

On Wednesday of next week the
County Fair grounds will be the scene
Of life and animation. The Fair
OF 1888 was a grand success, but
if everything continues favorable. the
Fair of this year will be much greater
and grander. The exhibitions will
be more than up to the usual standard,
if the anticipations of the management
are met. The fancy and artistic work
departments will show some beautiful
designs especially pleasing to the ladies,
and the large rooms will undoubtedly
be thronged continually by the fair
sex.
This season inaugurates the new
plan adopted, allowing exhibits to be
made by anybody in the First Con-
gressonal District. This will un-
doubtedly bring many choice exhibits
here and make the entire fair doubly
interesting.
There will be two or three novel ex-
hlbitions. A first class game of ball
will probably be played both days
upon the grounds between the Bridge
ton and some outside club. This will
interest hundreds of people who care
very little for racing. The racing feat
ure of the fair will be fully up to pre-
vious exhibitions. There are some
fast horses to be entered in the races.
The new free-for-all class will be one
of the finest races ever witnessed. A
purse of $500 will be offered, and this
will bring fast horses. The county
race will also be very interesting if the
county horses all get in it. What a
string there would be if minnie o."
Tom Ferrell, y Jack Logan "Grey
Eagle Jerry D." and "Hayseedern
were to go under the wire in one race.
There would be some interest taken.
The new buildings upon the grounds
are in splendid condition, and the Fair
of 1889 opens with far more fiattering
prospects than any previous one. The
county should be represented in great
numbers, and undoubtedly will be.
Secure tickets now.

vited. at Hotel Cumberland, and a very
pleasant evening was enjoyed in the
parlors of the handsome hotel. Among
the number were five of the Veale
sisters, of Harmony, and they added
greatly TO the entertainment of the
guests, by rendering several delightful
selections of song, while some of them
recited nicely. There were refresh
ments afterward, and it was eleven
o'clock before the parties left the hotel
for their home.

Stone Cutters Strike.

Thirty stone cutters, who have been
working on the new building of the
Cohansey Glass Company, struck
Thursday, owing to the fact that four
non-union cutters are employed there.
The cutters waited upon Mr.. Nixon
Bodine, and demanded the discharge
of the independent workers. This MIR.
Bodine refused to accede to, and i'm
mediately discharged the union men.
An effort upon the part of the workers
to compromise, was unsuccessful, and
they were told to present themselves
at the office of the company next day,
and receive all the money due them.

lmDOrted StOue.

The stone being used in the construc-
ton of the new tank furnace of the
Cohansey Glass Company is imported
from England, and wher it arrived in
New York the other day, the officers
of the department declared that it
would have to be taken from the boxes
and weighed. An arrangement was
entered into, to save time, to have the
stone shipped to Bridgeton, and have
a Custom House officer to come here
and weigh it. An official from the
Department arrived in this city Thurs
day and obtained the weight of the
stone. He stopped at the Hotel Cum
berland.

Sportsmen will read with interest
that the prospects for good cunning in
Camden, Gloucester, Cumberland. At
lantic, Cape May and Salem counties,
which are under the jurisdiction of the
West Jersey Game Protective Society,
are of the most promising kind, and
that thousands of quail, pheasants and
rabbits abound in the woods in every
county. The continual heavy rains
have not, as far as known, made any
inroads on the game as might be gen.
orally eXpected.

HAMBLETON-.-LEEDS.
Brilliant Wedding at Commerce
Street W. f. Church.

Thursday night in the Commerce st.
M. E. church, at seven o'clock, John
b. Hambleton, of Philadelphia, and
Miss Veronica B. Leeds, eldest daugh-
er of r. B. Leeds, were united in mar,
riage by Rev. john Handley of Central
M. E. church, assisted by Rev. G.. G.
Stanger, of the church in which the
ceremony took place.
The bride was nicely dressed in
white silk, with long train, and long
veil. In her hand she carried a bunch
of tea roses. Howard Lampen, of
Philadelphia, was groomsman, and
Miss Tillie, sister of the bride, was
bridesmaid. She wore a white lace
dress. The pretty ring service was
used, and during the ceremony, soft
music was played upon the church
organ.
The ushers were jerome Cross, VIM.
E. Casner, E. B. Griffith, Philadelphia;
and WIN. G. Leeds, Bridgeton. They
were attired in full evening dress.
After the service the melody of a
brilliant wedding march burst forth,
and the bridal party marched down the
aisle and took carriages for the resi-
dence of the brides parents.
The beautiful cottage on Cohansey
avenue, was ablaze from parlor to
attic, and the verandas and grounds
lighted with scores of Japanese Ian
terms, when the coaches containing the
bridal party and their friends rolled up
to it. The house was filled to over
flowing, and seats were provided on
the lawns. All was life and animation,
mirth and gaiety.
Tables in the dining room were
loaded with refreshments, and ice
cream was in abundance. Two col
ored walters had been sent down from
Donors to serve the guests, but Mr..
Leeds, being himself a practical caterer
of experience, took charge of the re-
freshments. The evening was spent
in congratulation and enjoyment, and
in viewing the rich and costly presents
for the happy couple. These were dis
played on tables in one of the upper
parlors, and were of great beauty and
and value.

Among the thousand and one inven-
tions OF the past twenty years, there
are few that have wrought greater or
more agreeable changes in the aspect
of country seats and of city residences
that have handsome grounds, than the
lawn mower. Twenty-Five years ago
the only implement of that kind was q
large, very heavy, awkward and ex-
pensive machine drawn by one or two
horses, and of coure available only for
extensive lawns, but now they are
SO light, and are so perfect in their
construction that child can operate
them. Not unfrequently ladies are
seen pushing them, aud the pity is that
more of them do not indulge in that
healthful kind of exercise.

The Horses Ran.

A couple of horses hitched to livery
hack, with some of the wedding party
in the wagon, started on run Thurs.
day night and the driver was unable to
control them. They came down Com
merce street at rapid pace, and mar
rowly escaped collision with several
vehicles. When Commerce street hill
was reached the horses were pulled
down and finally stopped, with no
damage.

Building Up WinslOw.

Winslow is booming. Twenty car
penters are hard at work there, and
the dwellings and business places are
looking bright and new. The revival
of the famous old glassworks will
brighten up the town, and it will again
be popular South Jersey town. The
glass company intend if possible to be
in operation by the end of September,

Manager Ben Tuft, of the Riverside
Driving Park, is making arrangements
for running meetings to be held at his
park every two weeks, to be contested
in by the horses that are running a
Merchantville track. A very fine field
of horses go in the races there, and if
the necessary arrangements can be
made to bring them here, Cumberland

amuse them.

NESHAMINY CENTENARY.
Anniversary OF the Founding of
the First Presbyterian College.


Great preparations are in progress
for the celebration at Neshaminy in
Bucks county, Pa, about twenty
miles north of Philadelphia, on the 5th
of next month of the founding of the
''Log College," the first literary insti-
tuition above common schools, in the
bounds of the Presbyterian church in
America. 1t was erected by the Rev.
William Tennent, Sr, who, in 1926,
became pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Neshaminy.
DR.. Archibald Alexander refers to
the institution as ''of unspeakable i'm
portance to the Presbyterian Church
in this country and as 'the germ
from which proceeds the college of
New jersey" Though as poor house
as perhaps was ever erected for the
purpose of giving liberal education,
it was, in a public sense, college; a
fountain from which proceeded streams
of blessings to the church. The hum
BILE edifice which was to acquire such
an enviable notoriety was made of
logs, cut out of the woods, probably
from the very sport where the house
was erected. 1t has long since disap-
peared, so that although the site on
which it stood is well-knowD, there is
not vestige of it remaining on the
ground. The celebrated evangelist,
the Rev. George Whitefeld, who trav-
ersed this country several times,
preaching everywhere, with a popu
larity and success which have never
been equaled by any other; thus
records in his journal: 1.-The place
wherein the young men study now is,
in contempt, called the College. 1t is
a log house, about twenty feet long,
and near as many broad, and, to me,
it seemed to resemble the school of the
old prophets, for their habitations
were mean; and that they sought not
great things for themselves is plain
from those passages of Scripture where.
in we are told that each of them took
them beam to build them a house;
and that at the feast of the sons of the
prophets, one of them put on the pot,
whilst others went to fetch some herbs
out of the field. All that we can say
of most of our universities is, they are
glorious without. From this despised
place seven or eight worthy ministers
of Jesus have lately been sent forth,
more are almost ready to be sent, and
the foundation is now laying for the
instruction of many others.n The
journal from which this extract is taken
was printed in Philadelphia by Benja-
min Franklin, the same year Q739) in
which Mr.. Whitefeld visited Mr.. Ten
nent.
In order to insure against interfer-
ence on the part of the weather on the
5th of September, two large tents,
capable of affording shelter to at least
10000 people, have been hired, and
will be on the ground. 1t is estimated
that if the weather and grounds be
favorable there will be upwards of 25,-
900 people in the assemblage, among
whom will be some of the most emf
nent in the country.

days, recovered shortly. while the one
who was not thought to be hurt much,
died from the effect of his injuries,

1t Bobs Up Again and Is Flo.
quently Discussed.
There were a large number of entries
in the free-for-all discussion of the FL
we'll Second ward park matter at the
regular meeting of the bOald OF park
commissioners yesterday afternoon.
A goodly number of East side citizens
were present, and new proposition
was made to the board by J. Z. Thwing
Offering block of land in his addition,
this side of the Manitoba tracks. at S40,-
600. and petition signed by about lO0
people asking the board to designate
the Thwing property was presented.
The matter was referred to the commit
tee on desIgnationOf grounds. Some OF
the people present thought II would be
well TO have larger park than the one
contemplated in ElwelfS addition, and
Mr. Elwell submitted proposition to
sell at less price per lot than his for
mer figure an entire block in Rollins
addition. near the half block originally
offered. This communication also went
to the committee on designation OF
grounds.
Commissioner Boardman said he I'M
derstood the board was in need OF
funds, and as it was cheaper to do GER
tain work at this time of year instead of
in the spring, he moved that the amount
of money which the president had been
authorized to borrow be increased by
s.. coo. so that Superintendent Berry
could proceed with tree planting and
some other work.
Commissioner Boardman also thought
that in view of the fact that it would be
! long time before gas mains would
reach Lake Harriet. it would be we'll
to build an electric light station of their
own at Harriet to light the Harriet.
Calhoun and Lake of the Isles boule-
wards. On his motion Superintendent
Berry was instructed to ascertain from
local electric lighting companies what
the probable cost Of such plant as is de-
sired would be.

THE FOOD LAW.
1t Is to Be Enforced Rigidly in
MinDeaDOiiS

In consequence of the large extent of
territory TO be covered by Assistant
Dairy Commissioner Howard. aud not
wishing 10 use any Of the dairy apprO-
priatiOn for the enforcement of this
Food law, Commissioner Ives has placed
that part of the commissioners work
relating TO foods and food inspection
in Minneapolis, in charge of the depart
ment chemist, Dr.. c. w. Dreu. The
headquarters of the food department Of
the commission are at 60S1l Nicollet
avenue, Weere any information relative
to this portion of the work of the dairy
and food commission can be obtained.
1t is the purpose of the commissioners
TO enforce the new food law rlgidiy and
fearlessly, yet in such manner as shall
not int1ict hardship upon any honest
dealer. When, upon inspection, adul-
terated goods are discovered, the facts
are reported to the commissioner, who
causes a warning notice 10 be sent, in
forming the dealer that such adulter-
ated articles have been found on sale by
him. and that continuation of their
sale will be followed by prosecution. A
large number of dealers have already
received warning notices relative to
adulterated vinegar. lard, etc, and a
vicilant system of inspection is now in
progress. which will speedily lead to
the prosecution of those dealers who
persist in handling food-stuffs which
the law declares to be adulterated and

The Editor Indorsed.

In Fridays issue of the Northwest
Mechanic the editor. J. P. Hobart, criti-
cises the local school board rather
sharply for placing incompetent and
inexperienced men in charge OF the
steam plants in many of the public
school buildings in the city, aud he
makes the point. that by so doing they
are placing in jeopardy the lives of
thousands of school children, and that
the saving is paltry in the extreme.
Last night the Minneapolis association
of stationary engineers. fifty-four in
number, met, and, after discussing the
matter at some length. passed set of
resolutions indorsing the action of Edi-
tor Hobart and setting forth their own
views in the matter. 1t is said that
there is state law compelling all per-
sons having charge of steam plants to
be licensed engineers, and unless the
board of education makes some changes
it is possible that this law will be taken
advantage of to compel them to do SO.
