JOHN WILSON SERIOUSLY CUT
WITH A KNIFE.
ne Attempts to Stop n Quarrel
and is Himself Attack d..
Saturday Nights Ex-
SIfpmnnt

If the blade of the kuife which CUT A
cash in the neck of John Wilson, col
ored, Saturday night, had extended
but half an inch farther, il would have
severed the juguler vein and Dayton
Dare, the waterman, would have had
to pswer to the serious charge of muir
der.
1t was murderous attack and toe
colored man was seriously injured.
The story, ss given by Wilson to
PIONEER reporter, and which is backed
up by several witnesses, is as follows:
Saturday night crowd OF fellows
were around the disreputable cider
mill, kept By man named Brown, and
among them were Dayton Dare and
James Tullis. These two were under
the influence cf intoxicants, and began
quarrelling. Wilson, who intended
this week TO go fishing with Tullis, in
terfered, and had the latter 10 leave
off qnarrelling and go home. Then
turning to Dare, he said. And you
had better go home too.'' The man
replied, What is it to your" Wilson
then turned around, and Dare cat him
a severe cash on the left side of the
neck, about three inches long. Wilson
Immediately turned around and Dare
started to ruD, with the colored man
in pursuit. Catching up with Dare,
Wilson tripped bin.
Dare recovered his feet and made
two lunges at Wilson with the knife,
cutting through a thick double
breasted coat in the breast and just
over the stomach. Then two more
iunges were made and Wilson received
a severe cut on the right arm near the
shoulder, and on the wrist Of the same
arm. The latter was terrible cash.
The wounds bled freely and much
blood was lost before it could be
stopped. In the meantime Dare had
made his escape and has not been see n
yet. Wilson made complaint before
Justice Riley and warrant was issued.
Wilson is a powerful! negro, and is
better known ss Black Fox" having

Will NOT COMBINE.
Au Important Conference to
Farmers


For some time there has been an ef-
fort made TO combine the forces of the
Farmers Alliance and the Farmers
Political League. 1t is claimed the
endeavor has been more especially
made in New Jersey, owing TO the de-
feat in the late Legislature of every
measure thas was introduced in the
interest OF the agricuiturist.
From ell that can be learned, the
Alliance has been particularly anxious
to have the Political League join hands
with them. A meeting was arranged
to be held in the Court House to.mor-
row to discuss this matter.
A preliminary Conference is said to
have occurred in this city On Friday
last, National Lecturer ex-senator
Walter E. Pierce, and State Organizer
Geo. VIM. Kirby, representing the
League, while Daniel Davis, State Or
ganizer of the Alliance, represented
that body.
The result of the deliberation is not
known definitely, although it is under
stood that neither organizations would
yield certain important considerations.
and the combine was not effected. II
is quite likely that the meeting ar
ranged for tomorrow, will be held.

PLANTING BEGINS,
Few Boats are Now Catching
Oysters.

Oysters.
Nearly all the boats that are con-
nected with the oyster industry in
Maurice River Cove, are at work, and
the crews are busiiy engaged in plant
ing.
The planting season begins on the
first of April. All oystermen pretty
much desire to get their planting done
and few of them care to catch any at
all for shippers.
A dealer said to PIONEER reporter
Thursday, that with the captains and
owners, the one thing was to get their
oysters planted, and very few gave
any attention to catching. 1t will be
extremely difficult he thinks, to get
sufficient supply of oysters for the
trade, until the planters are pretty
we'll through. This dealer urges local
buyers to look out and keep the orders
several days ahead and then there
might be an avoidance of trouble.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.
The Final Breakup Of the Co.
abDpFaalon

The Universal Order of Cooperation
was Thursday formally handed over
to Thomas Fl. Montgomery, as Re
ceiveT, by Jadge Putler in the United
United States Circuit Court. The petit
ti"n Of f3rty-seven certificate holders
asking t intervene in the proceedings
was pressed by Richard P. and Thos.
Earl White and f ed.
Peter Boyd, counsel for the original
compartments, also presented a petition
for some 200 members, asking TO join
as plaiufiffs in the Euit, and gave no.
tice that he represented 5000 other
members from another State, neither
Pennsylvania nor New Jersey, who
later on wanted to become parties
complainant.
Counsel for the Supreme Officers OF
the Order called the Courts attention
to the fact that since the bill of COM
plant was first fled no business had
been transacted, but that q large num-
Der OF letters and packages containing
remit.ances had been received, and
that these would AL have to be ex-
amined to determine which money
came as dues from members and which
from persons desirous of joining.
Where the money comes from new
parties it will be returned and not go
into the general assets,
Under the order of the Court the re-
ceivership order was entered with the
understanding that the $40, 900 security
required could be increased to- a larger
sum ii the assets should turn out to De
larger than is now known. In the Or
der the Court decreed that the con-
tracts set out 10 the bill are not author
ized by the respondents charter. and
are therefore void.
/ The Receiver was authorized to take
charge of everything in the way OF
money, properte, accounts, docu-
ments, etc. and the officers of the Or
der were commanded to hand over to
him everything in their possession be-
longing to the Order. AS soon as pos
eib.e after be qualities, the Receiver
was instructed to f!e in the office of
/ the Court an inventory Of all the as
sets. books and accounts, together
/ with detailed list Of the names and
residences of all bona fide holders Of
unsurrendeIcd and nncanoeled ccrtifi-
Gates standing en- the books at the
date OF the decree, with the amounts
paid in by each, and a list of the names
and residences of any bona fide holders
of certificates Whose names may not
appear on the books, with the amount
paid in by each.
The Receiver is given full power and
directed to convert all the assets into
money, and deposit it in one or more
national banks of good credit, subject
to his orders, and after deducting all
necessary expenses TO bod it subject
to the further order of the Court.

The results Of the five days Of the
crusade against Gloucester law break
ing,are sufficient to encourage the res
oluee men who have entered upon it.
The gambling houses of Gloucester re-
main closed. The closing, so far as
can be learned, was by orders of the
Hon. Leon Albeit, Governor OF New
Jersey. The story is that the Cover
nor sent a special messenger with or
ders that he would no longer permit a
q violation of the law. Uncertainty
is given to the story by the fact that
Billy" Thompson's track was open as
usual and the bookMakers were unmo-
les,ed
But much more than this tookplace.
The Ministerial Union of Camden,
went actively to work to make people
snie breaking the laws or to put them
in jail.
The organization of the Law and Or
der League is under way.
The Produce Exchange of Philadei-
phia, he's decided to take steps in the
interest OF business to abolish the track
and 10 force the gamblers to remain
abolished.
Finally weighty argument against
the track was made at the Central Po-
lice Station in this city. Ayoung man
who had lost money on horses at the
track was held for trial on 8 charge Of
raising money by forgery.
