/ A strong northeast wind, lowering
clouds and chilly air were the atmos-
pierre conditions that confronted Robert
A. WEIGH and William c. Downing, Jr.,
on Wednesday when they met to shoot In
the tenth live bird match for the River
ton Challenge Plate The conditions
were 100 pigeons each, 80 yards RISE with
boundary of 90 yards. Welcb won the
contest, which is his seventh successive
victory for the prize, by killing SO, Down
ing having only so to his credit
The score does not in any way exhibit
the true form Of the two shooters, as the
birds were an unusually lively lot, and
when once on the wing their speed was
accelerated by the strong wind. Birds
shot under ordinary circumstances that
would have been straight drivers were
caught up by the wind, and before either
of the two crack shots could grass them
they had flown in several directions.
WEIGH used his second barrel sixty
three times, ten of which were for safety
and the remainder to kill Downing was
only required to use his second barrel
fifty-four times, eighteen of which were
for safety purposes, while the remainder
we're necessary to kill. OF the birds that
dropped dead ont OF hounds, WEIGH had
four, while Downing lost seven. The err
ratio flight of the birds caused both men
to use great care and judgment, and in or
der to always be ON the safe side. Welch
called seven mo BIRDS" while Downing
called six. All of these were wicked
looking lot, and if the precaut1on had not
been taken, they would no doubt have
swelled the columns of misses.
The score of contests for the plate since
it was first shot for on May A is as fol-
lows: Won by Frederick Hoey once,
George Work twice, and Robert A WEIGH
seven times.

Eddie Casner, a former Mount Holly
boy, who now lives at Ocean Grove, has
been creating somewhat of family rum
pus. On Monday night he ran away, and
it was several hours later when he was
found at the home of his grandmother,
Mrs Reid, in Ocean Grove.
A few months ago Eddie, as he is famil-
iarly called, ran the elevator in the
Taylor-Tusting building. When not en-
gagged on the elevator he spent his time
reading cheap novels, and his mind be-
came so filled with blood and thunder,
bowie knives and Indian seal ping that he
bought brace of revolyers. On Monday
night he packed up his wearing apparel
back that night and his parents became
worried. Early the next day Mrs. Cas-
ner learned that her son had told several
of his companions that he intended going
to sea with James Lawlor. She tried to
find Lawlor, but was unsuccessful.
Mrs Casner told her story to Will Mad
dox and be offered to assist her. A plan
was arranged whereby Mrs. Casner was to
go to Long Branch and wait there in hope
that her son would 20 through on the
train. and Maddox. who WAS to follow
him, would notify Mrs. Casner when the
train stopped at the Branch that her son
was on board. She waited patiently for
sew eral hours, and when she was con-
WINGED that Eddie had eluded her, she
came back to Asbury Park and consulted
Justice Borden. She wanted to make a
complaint against Lawlor for abduction,
but as the boy was fifteen years old, such
complaint would not stand law.
Mrs. Casner then went before Justice
Wyckof Here she stated that the boy
was under fourteen years of age, and &C
cording to law he was under the guar
dianship of his parents. Meanwhile Mrs.
Casner had learned that her son was at
the home of his grandmother. search
warrant was issued, and Will Maddox
was deputized by the Justice to serve it.
He went to Mrs. Reds and when admit
lance was refused him he broke open the
door. The runaway Eddie was found
hiding in the attic. He was hauled out
and taken home by his father and Mad.

Mrs. Reid went before Justice Borden
Thursday night and had warrants issued
for Casner and Maddox on a charge Of
assault and battery. She claimed that

by the city. By the above table it will

Delran has one for every 200 inhabitants,
Mount Holly Northampton one for ev-

While there are few townships that
do not have any hotels OF saloons, those

The county Democratic convention viii
be held on Saturday Under ordinary
circumstances it might be a circus, bu
with Republican success staring it in the
/ face, it is more likely to be funeral pro

Candidates for Senate and Assembly are
being named, with or without their con-
sent we know not Some of them are
foolish enough TO think that Republican
disaffection in Delran township is going to
act benefcially for the opposite side.
They will get left on that point
Among the latest named for the Senate
are Clayton Conrow, Oliver Parry and DR..

gates from Bass River who did not get in
to the Republican convention. writes a
letter in which he states that he is not

can.
Touching the political situation in this
county, the Philadelphia Record says
Charley Hendrickson, of Mount Holly,

the Democratic candidate for State Sena-
tor, and thinks be could win. When
Johnny Warner, of Bordentown, heard
that news be winked, grinned, and shook
his head very significantly. He and Mr..
Hendrickson have never been political
bed fellows"
As was to be expected the Democrats
are trying TO make political capital out of
the fact that Assemblyman Stecher was
not renominated. and they are using for
all it is worth an advance statement that
there could not be any defence of such
an act" The fact is that there were two
candidates for Assembly from the same

Of rivalry right at home which would

The fire apparatus that has been lying
idle for long time was hastily brought
into service on Thursday morning. At
half-past four o'clock it was found that
the large barn belonging to Caleb D.
ShTeve, situate on the lane leading back
from Anderson's stove store, was on fire.
The alarm was given and the town was
soon aroused. The barn was soon de-
stroyed. 1t was empty, hence nothing
except the building was lost. Sparks set
fire to Maurice Garwood's barn and
burned one side of it. Isaac Wills house
took fire, but was not much damaged DR..
Braddock' s barn and wood shed adjoin-
ing took fire, but the volunteer depart
ment kept the fire down to the original
building.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary and there are suspicious
that it was started for the purpose of at
tracing the attention of citizens while
robberies were committed. When a
member of the firm of Taylor & Holman
went into the store at the usual time he
found large package of goods made up
ready for removal, showing conclusively
that somebody had been at work there.
