AsBURY PARK. June 10. iS93.-The
murder Of Berthe Wagner, the littls sou
of Louis Wagner. II farmer living near
Howell. a little Hamlet zeal Freshold,
by George Wood, a chore boY employed
by Mr.. Wagner. has caused intense ex.
element in that section of Monmouth
County. Young Wood ran away to avoid
arrest and cannot bs found.
Wood came from North Fourth street.
Williamsburg, where he livsd with his
widowed mother. about ten days ago,
lie WAS a strong. sturdy lad, fourteen
years of age, but was very lazy ana
would not obey either Mr.. or Mrs.
Wagner.
Yesterday morning Wood was 10 a very
ugly Rndimpudent mood, and Mr.. Wag-
her decided to send him back home to
his mother. Wood was sent no stairs to
take off his soiled clothing, which was to
be washed. Litble BERTHE tent up stairs
behind Wood. Inside of five minutes
there was the loud report OF A gun from
Woods room. Wood ran down stairs.
aud meeting Mrs. Wagner, said:-"Bertie
did it.n
The child was found lying in a big pool
of blood with the left side OF his face and
head blown off. Across his breast lay
his fathers fowling piece, ons barrel of
which had been discharged. The injured
child bled to death in about three hours.
The n%eighbors hocked to tile house and
stood III little crowas ID the dooryard
discussing the tragedy. Amoug them
was Constable Cottrell. There wa no
question hut that the chill ireu had been
shot by young Wood, who was cool and
unconcerned. When he heard some of
the farmers talking about having him
arrested he slipped out OF the crowd and
made for the woods. Constable Cottreil
was supremely disguised when he began
to search for Wood. He was the only
officer at the house. Inc gave as his ex-
cuse for not arresting Wood before he
had a chance to fee that he hAd not re-
ceived any orders from Mr.. Wagner to
make an arrest.
w. X. Van Valkanburr. OF Asbury
Park, the father of Mrs. Wagner. drove
over to the house where the child was
killed this noon. and at once had search
lug parties organized. and the surround
ing country is being secured for the fugi-
tive.
Little BERTHE was only able to gasp the
words, Water, WAFER after he was
shot. He was too small to handle the
heavy fowling piece with when he was
killed. aud, it is believed. was murdered
by Wood, who was anoered by mis- being
discharged by Mr.. Wagner.

RELIGION MADE EASY.

Rev. G. Z. Little delivered an interesting
address at the meeting OF the Y. NJ. c.. A. yes
te rday afternoon. His subject was Religion
Made Easy He referred 10 the error Of peo-
pie in mistaking doctrine for religion. Doctrine
was merely the rails or tracks to guide the
engine which moved by the fire of God's love.
AiipLher pretty Illustration was that of the
married Man who was in a state of bondage
and toiIed Tor his home and family, but it vas a
cheerful condition, as he was actuated by love.
The Christian assumes Il siuiftar obligation and
1t is love which MAKES religion easy.
