WANT TO PURCMAsEIT.
Dispose of the Agricultural So
ciety Grounds.

ciety Grounds.
A prominent member of the Cum
berland County Agricultural and Hor-
ticultural Society, and a gentleman who
has for years held an important posi-
ton in the Society, has decided views
which he does not hesitate to express
concerning the future success of the So
ciety. Tt has an opportunity to sell
at an advantage the spacious grounds
they now occupy. 1t is a we'll known
fact that this property is not what the
Society should have. 1t is not suitable
for the association and the track there
is very bad.
The gentleman referred to claims
that the Society is standing in its own
light every year that it does not sell it's
own grounds and purchase Riverside
Driving Park. This Park is getting a
wide reputation, and it is well known
fact that the track is one of the finest
in the state. Horsemen delight to
come here, and just as long as River
side remains in its present hands, just
so long will there be interesting trot-
ting meetings. OF course these con-
tests just one week ahead of the Fair,
figure largely as opposition, and the
ex-official of the society can readily see
just where the final out come will land
the society. The matter is very likely
to be agitated and there may be some
Developments in another year.

EXTRACTS FROM REPORTS
Bridgeton = Frequent showers and
warm nights, have made the prospect
OF good corn crop sure. The rains
were also of great benefit to all field
and garden crops. Melons of all kinds
are now plentiful The ground is now
in fine condition for the late cabbage
and for sowing turnips.
Beverly-The rainfall sor the past
seven days, has been about the aver
age. Tomatoes and melons are very
abundant. Grapes are badly affected
with the ''dry rot.n Orchard fruits
are very scarce. Potatoes are doing
we'll and corn is developing finely.
WoodburS-Sweet potatoes and all
garden truck are growing well. Late
corn setting finely The rains during
the week have done vast amount of

fine growth. Buck wheat is very
promising. The rainfall during the
week has been sufficient for the crops.

PITMAN GROVE, Aug. 11-The crowd
to-day was very big one for Monday,
and enthusiasm was greater than ii
has been this season. From 8 O'Clock
this morning until 1.10 o'clock this
afternoon there was one continual ex-
perience meeting led by David B.
Updegraff.
There we're probably 5000 people in
the Grove to-day. Yesterday there
were nearly 10000 The day was SO
cool that women were wrapped in
shawls and men wore overcoats. The
a-dor of the congregation was no
means chilled, however, as was
evinced at the enthusiastic meetings OF
the day.
About 200 people attended the
O'Clock sunrise service in the Taber-
nacle, and here it was that the en-
thusiasm of the day commenced. Rev.
w. G. Stockton, who led the service,
was as enthusiastic as little child,
and this enthusiasm was instilled into
the devout disciples of Christ who did
not dread the chill of the auditorium.
There were 5000 people at the morn
ing FIVE hours meeting.
The enthusiasm of the morning
meeting was carried to the holiness
meeting in the tent, and 500 people
who were present entered the tent
prepared to take active part immedi-
ately, and they did SO. This meeting,
which was kept up until 8 O'Clock, was
a repetition of the morning service.
At the children's meeting the same
enthusiasm was manifested among the
little ones who had beeu present at the
morning meeting and taken part in the
singing and praise. There were about
900 children and few grown people
at the meeting, aud several were con-
verted
This afternoon, Rev. J. Simmons, of
the New York East Conference,
preached sermon from Acts 1, viii:
sBut ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost shall come upon you
and ye shall be my witnesses" His
theme was the descent of the Holy
Ghost.
DR.. Dougan Clark, the Indiana
Friend preacher, will not be in Pitman
Grove during this camp meeting, on
account of sickness in his family. He
is greatly missed here. The camp
meeting will come to close Thursday
night next at 10 o'clock. The closing

CrueI Treatment.

The officers of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have
taken measures to hold John Peterson
and others amenable for brutal treat
ment of a horse In Passaic City. The
animal baked, and they hitche d 1t to
another team by the head in such a
way as to pull out the tongue, SO that
it hung only by a shred. After vain
effort to save the tongue by sewing up
the wound, 1t had to be cut off by DIR.

Alfred Speer and was very fine an

The properties of Jacob Shopira, OF
Carmel, and of Henry c. Mayhem, of
Mauricetowp or rather Buck kbut-iu,
we're sold bv Sheriff Shaw at the Court
House on Saturday afternoon. That

and execution, and not on foreclos-
nre of mortgage. 1t was bill off bv
Isaac Aaron and Moritz Skobolowski i
for $400. There was a mortgage of
$115 upon the property and the pur.
chasers were surprised to learn that
they had to paw this SUN In addition
to their bid of $40O.
The property of Henry G. Mayhem,
comprising nearly so acres of farm
land aud meadow, was bid off for Mrs

OF the entire absence Of mosquitoes.
The exemption from this pest is every

certainly Is not due to the weather, for
the atmospheric conditions for the

THE GLASS INDUSTRY.
Must Keep the Tariff up by ail
Means.

A dispatch from Pittsburg shows
how necessary it is to keep the tariff
up on glass. 1t says:
The treatment the glass schedule OF
the Mckinley Tariff bill is receiving in
the Senate, is being watched with the
liveliest interest by the manufacturers
of Pittsburg. which city is the centre
of the glass trade in America.
Wolfe, Howard s. Co., speaking OF
the action of the Senate in reducing
the rates as proposed in the Mckinley
bill to II, Il, q, and 81 cents per pound
according to sizes, said: This Is a re-
duction of ! of cent per pound on all
grades of window glass on the rates
proposed by the Mckinley bill, and If
it is adopted, will not disturb the pres
ent condition of the trade in the least.
The Mckinley bill proposes an in
crease of ! of cent pound over the
present tariff, and the Senate simply
wants to knock off this increase of J OF
q cent and leave the rate as it is now.
The window glass business is unusually
dull at present, and the uncertainty as
to what the tariff tinkers may do, GER
tainly does not improve matters.
Usually the business is very brisk dur
ing July and August, but this year is
an exception"
D. 0. Cunningham, another leading
0f
the window glass tariff will cause a
proportionate reduction on the wages
of our men. The labor on window
glass is rs per cent. of the entire cost
of the product. Out of the remaining
"a per cent. we must build our factories,
supply tools and materials and take
our profit. Therefore 76 per cent. OF
the reduction comes from the wages, il
we desire to retain our ability to COM
pete with Belgian glass"
81 favored an increase of the window
glass tariff. A decrease will be severe
blow to window glass manufacturers"
At the headquarters of the Window
Glass,IW Workers' Association President
Eberhardt took time to say: 1.-The
change is so small and SO insignificant
that do not believe that it will mate
rally affect the trade adversely. The
wages of the men will not, believe,
suffer any from such a change unless it
is made great deal heavier, which
change is not anticipated by me. 1t
looks very much as though the COM
mittee wished to cut a small slice of
several items, and, as the subject of a
higher tariff on glass has been agitated
as fully if not more than any other
item, it was thought the proper thing
to touch it little"

poor Fruit Year.

A contemporary that gives special
attention to the matter shows that as
the season advances, more complete
reports from variaus sections indicate
that the general fruit crop Of 1890 will
be the smallest for many years, which
is to be regretted, from the fact also OF
a general feeling of depression in agri-
cultural Interests throughout the coun-
try. One favorable feature, however,
Is that those having partial crops will
find their net results at the end of the
year about equal the seasons of full

Candidates are still coming to the
front. 1t was said last week, that not
withstanding the announcement that
George w. Payne was to leave the
county, the arrangement might yet
fall through, and he be a candi-
date before the Republican Conyen-
tlon for Sheriff. However, Messrs.
Whitaker, Hewitt and Bellows are
hustling about, taking no stock in
eleventh hour candidates.

matters are still in chaotic state.

strength among their friends. The
names mentioned SO far are Geo. W.

Maurice Rogers looks like the COM
ing man for Senator in Camden county.
With Senator Phifer and Billy Thomp-
son raising Cain in the Democratic
ranks, the Republican ticket may con-
tidently expect a rousing majority.
1t must be pretty difficult for the
Democratic Philadelphia Record to get
off the following paragraph, but if
1t keeps up with the procession it will
record great Republican harmony in
all OF the lower counties. Here is what
it says about Camden:
Camden County Republican candi-
dates are having a continuous round
of Endorsements. Nobody in the
county remembers ever having seen
such profound harmony. All opposi-
ton TO the nomination of Councilman
Maurice A. Rogers for State Senator;
Councilman Robert L. Barker, for
County Clerk; Deputy Henry J. West
for Sheriff, and Jacob Sickler, the
Winslow storekeeper, for Register of
OF Deeds, seems to have gone up the
fume. All the ward Organizations
have hastened to indorse this ticket,
but there has been profound silence
as to Assemblym-n. Bergen will have
Camden county solid for his renomina-
tion for Congress, and, though there
was considerable dissatisfaction over
some of his moves on the political
chess board in bis district, the opposi
tion to him in the other four counties
will probably he stifled for couple of
years, The Camden county ticket
seems very satisfact ory all around. and
in view of the big Republican majority
1t will probably go through. The
Demo ,rats have not yet fixed up a

officers last Spring, and elected to
again fill the position, and will officiate

The Attorney General says that this
class cannot serve and CONSERVATION
follows. Many will make themselves
Ineligible to serve at the special cleo
