LAST Saturday was prolific in brawls
Two negroes on ''Dollar Hill'' had a fight
over a mule in the morning, and small
riot took place at and in the Chinese
laundry during the evening, which was
7''7ed by two young men Of good fami-
who we're two-thirds drunk. A re-
.iver was drawn on the frightened China
man who appears to have the sympathy
Of his neighbors. The sequel to this was
a row and a fight From now on the
Town Council has declared war to the ex-
termination of this class of disturbers of
the public peace, and unless they desire
to be locked up over night they must
obey the law. The principals in the
above disturbances were arraigned on

men soon had the fire under control
| This is the third time this stable has been
I burned, and each time it was of iucendiary
origin. Last Tuesday morning about z
O'Clock two neighbors heard chickens
squalliag, aud going to their windows they
saw short, thiekset man crossing the
yard going away from DR.. Pratt's stable,
and IN a few minutes after the fire was
discovered While it was burniug,a a phOs-
phate sack was found about fifty feet
from the stable along the yard fence, with
live chicken in it. This would indi
cate that the thief had left his bag while
he entered the stable, and as the hre
started in the loft at the head of the stair
way, it is probable that it had lis origin
from a match dropped in the straw. It
has been rumored that the electric wires
we're responsible for the fire, but this is
absolutely impossible. because there was
no lamp in the stable or even current
passing through the wire; and the wiring
had been done iu accordance with the
regulations of the Board Of Insurance
Underwriters, and was absolutely safe.
During the fire the rubber insulation on
the wires was burned off aud It fell down
of course on the ground. The wires did
not enter the stable at all, but hung sus-
pended in the wagon house, while the fire
was all on the west side away from them. !
LATRR:-The harness room was not |
burned, and on investigating all the best
harness was missing, This indicates a |
robbery.
The Town Authorities have offered re-
ward of $50 for information that will lead |
to the arrest of the firebug.

THE extra meetings now i'll progress at
the Avenue NJ. E. Church, under the
leadership of the Rev. Robt. Watt, are
doing much good to the people of this
community, both christians and those as
yet out of Christ The feeling that it is
better and much more sensible to ac-
cept Christ and forsaking all else, cling
only to Him, is forcing itself upon those
who are attending these meetings. Mr..
Watt is very serious in his efforts for
those who as yet know not the Saviour,
and his work should be crowned with sue
cess. There are hundreds of people in
this community that as yet need to know
that the blessed Lord Jesus suffered and
died upon the cross for them. IT does
seem that a man is a fool who follows
after the things of this life, knowing what
his eternity will surely be, when by for
saking this world for a few short years
and accepting and clinging to Christ, an
eternity of happiness is promised with
Him who said, Il go to prepare place
for you, for where 1 am there shall ye be
also" The meetings will continue every
night in the week with the exception Of
Saturday. and the church should be filled
nightly with those who need a Saviour
the worst.

ON Saturday night last whilst driving
to Cedar Beach, DR.. ]. c. Weiderhall met
with peculiar and not very desirable ex-
perience. As he was driving up the
little hill near the school house below
the Church about O'Clock when driving
peacefully along was suddenly shocked
by the report Of revolver and the whiz-
zing bullet which passed closely by his
head. Five shots, evidently intended to
kill were fired at the doctor; but as was
subsequently learned the firing party had
mistook him for another party, a resi-
dent of Cedar Creek. 1t was a low, cow
ardly action, the outgrowth Of envy and
jealousy from the attention paid to a
admirable young lady at a party on
the Thursday night previous. The young
gentleman who fred the shots would do
well to deliberate on his action and be
exceedingly glad that no permanent
harm has resulted therefrom.
