AsBURY PARK, N. j., June 20.-Great
excitement prevails in religious circles at
Ocean Grove over the scandal connected
with the marital relations Of Rev. Dr..
Aaron Ballard, vice-president of the
Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association,
and his wife. Little else is talked of by
the high officials of the town. who are
greatly troubled because of its unpleas-
ant features, They have made every
effort to suppress it.
Dissension has been rife in DR.. Bal
lard's family for many months, until at
last his wife has left his roof and threat
ems to sue for support.
DR.. Ballard and his wife have been liv-
ing with his son, Frank T. Ballard, on
Broadway, Ocean Grove. Mrs Ballard
says her life there was most unhappy,
and she repeatedly asked her husband to
live separately from the sons family, as
he had promised to do in the early DAYS
of their married life. He refused to do
so. At last, growing desperate, she
rented cottage from her uncle, /. d.
Mckee, and few days ago moved into it
with her effects, and also all those of her
husband.
DR.. Ballard threatened by letter l. D.
Mckee and Rev. G. Sickler, retired min
lister, who is now a real estate agent. He
claimed that his wife was slightly de-
mented. Mrs. Ballard says that she did
not wish TO separate from her husband,
but she could not live in the same house
with his son and the latter's family. She
hung her husbands clothes in the closet,
and placed all his personal effects in con
vanieut nogitSous for his usa
The front door was left unlocked night
and day that he might obtain admittance
at any time. Lights waro left burrtne Z, In
different parts of the house in prepara-
tion for his coming. She acted at all
times upon tine advice OF her lawyer, r.
Ten Brock Stout, of Asbury Park.
DR.. Ballard has left town. Some time
ago be told his wife that if she would go
to California to her friends he would OBJ
tain free pass for her She refused to
do so. DIR. E. H, Stokes, president of the
association, was appealed to by the un-
happy wife, but refused TO act as me-
diator until he should have an interview
with DR.. Ballard Dr. Stokes said the
affair was a very distressing one, and
that it had been hoped it would not OBJ
tain publicity. He believed that DR..
Ballard would reconsider his determina-
tion not to live with his wife because
she refused to live at his sons house.
Mrs. Ballard said that her life had
been made wretched by Frank Ballard
and his wife She had notified her hus-
| band that his family had moved, but he
has not come into the new house. They
would be happy she said, away from his
son. Dr. Ballard is also postmaster Of

crying out that "the men who want
the town re-divided are aiming at a
political gerrymander, while we, the
immaculate, public.spirited Demo-
Gratis, are prompted by a spirit of
justice to all parties" Aud in the
face of this declaration they submitted
to the viewers map 80 ingeniously
drafted that upon its adoption the
Democrats could have "grand blow
out" having secured a re division of
the borough upon lines that would
give them six of the nine wards. The
good sense and sound Judgment of
the viewers thwarted this hypocriti-
cal scheme, however, and the schemers
are now squirming under the sting.
The petitioners should rejoice over the
failure of that dastardly scheme. The
forfeiture of their plans is small
sacrifice for such result.

OUTLAWS CAUGHT
REVENUE OFFICERS
MAKE IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
THEY HAD TO RISK THEIR LIVES.
One of the Prisoners Chief of the
Famous Mullen Gang-The Of
hcers Fired Upon When TAX
ing Their Prisoners Away.


BIZ National Press association.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 29.-Capt
Robert Saunders, Internal Revenue Col
lector; N. J. Keadle, Special Deputy
United States Marshal; S. H. Baldwin
and posse of 10 assistants arrived here
at a. m. from Perryville, Mcdowell
County, having in charge two of the
most desperate and notorious criminals
In the two Virginias.
They were Harvey Mullen, chief OF
the famous Mullen gang of moon
sinners and murderers, and Riley Cooper,
his first lieutenant. They were captured
in the most inaccessible portion of Buck
hannon County, Va, at the risk Of the
oaptors' lives.
In lodging the two in Jail Saunders
and Keadle and their men have done
what numerous posses have failed to ac-
complish.
Mullen and his gang, which is said to
number from % to 90, have been operat-
ing in Virginia, eastern Kentucky and
Raleigh Wyoming and Mcdowell coun-
ties, W. Va, and no less than eight of
them are under indictment for murder
In one or more of the three States.
They are also wanted in the United
States courts for moonshining and coun-
terfeiting.
An attempt was made by strong
posse to capture some of the gang about
ak months ago, but the marshals were
defeated, several of the deputies having
horses shot under them.
The next day after the raid while
Thomas Cox was riding along a road, he
was shot dead from a piece Of woods.
The Mullens evidently took him for a
deputy marshal.
About two months afterward two pros
pectors were fired upon in the same
neighborhood while searching for coal
and had very narrow escapes.
Saunders and his men left Trap Hill,
Raleigh County, on June 10, and made
their way to the Mullen Illicit stills at
night.
They remained hidden in chosen
locality for several days, and on June 10
Mullen and Cooper were ambushed and
compelled to surrender. AS the prison
ers were led away handcuffed the prty
were fired upon, but the presence OF
Mullen and Cooper prevented concer-
ted attack, and the officers succeeded in
bringing them off.

Dishonest Employees.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 29.-Warrants
have been issued for the arrest OF
Charles Biglow, assistant cashier, and
Norman Perry, chief clerk OF the Ameri-
can Express Company in this city The
men are charged with embezzling the
company's funds, but the amount is not
stated The warrant merely charges a
defalcation of 81 200, but this IS believed
to be only one count. Biglow has been
in Chicago since Monday last visiting his
wife and children, and is expected here
tomorrow morning, when he will be ar
rested. Both men are under heavy bonds
to the express company.

Marked for "A Victim.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, June 80 Authorization
has been received here from Charles
Bolts, of Donaldson, La, of the brutal
murder of Calvin Oberly, once promi-
nent citizen of Northampton County. He
was employed as laborer on Botts' farm
n few years ago, but left his employ to
seek richer fields. He grew quite
wealthy. A few weeks ago he paid
Bolts visit on his farm near Longview
Tex. Bolts went on business trip for a
week, and, upon his return, Oberly was
missing Bolts inquired what had be-
come of him, whereupon Mrs. Bolts said
he had attempted to assault her and she
had driven him from the house with a
shotgun. Bolts doubted the story and
Immediately set out to find Oberly.
One day, while working on the farm,
Bolts noticed number of buzzards prev
ing upon some object. Upon investiga-
tion he was horror-stricken to find
Oberly's remains In an abandoned we'll.
He dared not remove them. He was be-
ing watched. He notified the authorities,
but could get no satisfaction from them.
At last he unearthed plot that he him.
self was to be murdered by his wife and
son. He fed
They, however, succeeded in tracking
him, and had planned to murder him
for reporting the murder, but he sat up
in bed all night with a cooked revolver
in each hand, and thus awaited the
morning, when he fed to Louisiana.
Oberly owned big farm and had Just
sold it, and with his accumulated
wealth was on his way to Bethlehem.

A SQUARE DEAL.

While the viewers, in making re-
division of the borough, did not adj
ere to any of the maps submitted to
them, mature consideration of their
report shows that the lines upon
(which they agreed are within the
bounds of reason. A gentleman who
is we'll qualified to make the calcula-
ton fixes the number of votes in the
respective new wards as follows :
First, $50; Second, $50 Third, 24O ;
Fourth, 200 Fifth, 22O; Sixth, 25O ;
Seventh, $50 Eighth, 24O; Ninth, 900.
This is certainly a very fair answer to
the prayer of the petitioners for di.
vision upon the ground that the old
wards were overcrowded.
When those who submitted the
map opposing the views of the petit
,tioners they could not state, or give
any idea of the number of votes their
iapportionment would leave in each of
the proposed new wards. The petit
tioners, on the other hand, were pre-
c.,pared and did show the votes each of
&1lheir proposed new wards would have
and did not rely solely upon the
empty cry that, "This is the only way
the town can be divided fairly and
isquarely." They were prepared to
show by figures, the Justice of their
proposed division and, in justice
to the viewers, it should be said that
the division fixed by the report sub
mitted to the Court affords a better
apportionment of the votes than that
proposed by petitioners.
The more conservative man con-
siders the report of the viewers the
more he becomes inclined that the
officials hit upon basis as fair as pos
sible, and there is no doubt that the
petitioners who are dissatisfied because
their map was ignored will ultimately
arrive at the same conclusion.
OF course the Sunday Nems and the
handful of schemers who take consol-
sstion from the bull-dozing and black
4 t99arding editorials of that paper are
not satisfied. Nothing that would
not embrace an adoption of their map
could satisfy them. They looked
upon the viewers as babies and tried
to pull the wool over their eyes by

Sensational Reports Sent Out About tn,
Navajo Indians.


ALBUQUERQUE, N, NJ, June 29-The
alarming reports that have been sent out
concerning the Indian trouble on the
Navajo reservation are much more seusa-

One of the paymasters located ere says
they returned from the reservation few
days ago, and the Indians this season of the
year collect in bands and paint them
selves and indulge in the wierd snake
dance, A few white settlers near the
TeAervation, unacquainted with the
habits of the Navajos, became timid an d
made exaggerated reports at the forts,
and several troops of cavalry are on the
ground, but no trouble is anticipated.
