The Riverton Gun Club signalized the
beginning of the fall and winter pigeon
shooting season on Friday with the com
mencement of fall tournament on the
grounds here. Unfortunately for the
Philadelphia cracks, it was very distinct
~ New York day. Edgar Murphy was
in magnificent form, and he swept every
thing before him. In all he killed SO out
of 60 birds he shot at, and took all the
money and glory. WEIGH, Dando and
even his club mate, Fred Hoey, went
down before him, unable even to make a
good showing. The day was dark and
rather unfavorabe for good work, while
the birds were peculiar lot, some slow,
while others went like bullets.
The chief event of the day was the %
bird shoot for the fall handicap cup. The
entrance was $25 each man, and this was
divided into three purses, So 80 and 20
per cent As handicap Ogden and Ed
wards were allowed to stand "a yards,
and, in addition, Ogden was privileged to
shoot at 81 birds and Edwards at 20, their
scores counting against the others at %
birds and 80 yards rise. Murphy did
magnificent work, his one lost bird being
purely the result of carelessness Ogden,
aided by his handicap, tied the New

A new comedy, "The Passport" which
was produced at the Park Theater, Phila-
delphia last evening, with the fetching
Miss Sadie Martinez and Max Figman IN
the leading roles, will come in for good
share of attention this week. The play
was first produced in Hartford, Conn, Oct.
Is, with much success. The plot arises
from the fact that Mrs. Darcy" which
character Miss Martinez assumes, loses
her passport on the Russian frontier, and
Sinclair" Max Figman, masouersdes
her as his wife for few hours to get her
past the lines. Speaking of the opening
performance, a Hartford paper said !;
Miss Martinot's part, that of a lively
widow with short memory gave abun-
dant opportunity for her peculiar talents,
and she has never done any thing better
or of higher type of comedy. She won
instant favor from the audience, and the
costuming of the part was something very
artistic from the modiste's point of view.
Max Figman made hit as "Lord Bib
arv." part which he assumed with ex-
celIent taste, and with rapidity of touch
and dash of humor that ranks him with
the cleverest of the young comedians o.
the day."
That popular actor, Robert Mantell
will play his only engagement at the
Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, this
week. Tuesday, Wednesday and Satur
day nights will be devoted to the "Cor
sican Brothers" Thursday and Friday
nights the MARBLE Heart" will have re
vival. So many admirers of Mr. Mantel
haye written to Manager Howe for an
other appearance of Romeo" that Mr.
Mantell has acceded to this request, and
will present Shakespeare's love tragedy
Romeo and Juliet" at the Saturday
matinee. At the Wednesday matinee
the LADY of Lyons" will be offered.
Joseph Jefferson's only engagement al
the Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia
will commence on Monday, November IL

Along shore.

Captain Daniel Stout Williams, of
Cedar Creek, one of the heaviest in
vestors in vessel property in the State,
died of apoplexy on Wednesday while
sitting in his farm wagon, talking to a

laid the foundation of his wealth. He
was also large owner of real estate.
Vice Chancellor Bird has granted de-
cree of divorce in the case of Charles
Cranmer, of New Gretna, against Louisa
Cranmer, his wife. The divorce was re-
quested on the ground of desertion, the
wife having been living at Tuckerton for
some time. Mrs. Cranmer attempted to
resist it on the ground that her husband
was simply trying to get rid of her with
out cause. Charles E. Hendrickson
represented the plaintiff and Mark R.
Sooy the defendant.
The three-masted schooner Sunbeam,
laden with coal, and bound from New
York to Tuckerton, grounded on the
Little Beach Shoals Sunday afternoon
about o'clock in the midst of raging
northeast gale. Heavy seas filed her with
water before the matches could be battened
down. Captain Stiles and his crew took
to the rigging. from which they were
rescued in an exhausted condition by the
Little Beach life.saving crew. The Sun
beam is rapidly going to pieces and will
prove a total loss.
The northeast gale here is making dan
gerous lnroads along the ocean front, and
the meadows between Atlantic City and
the mainland are covered by several feet
of water. The railway tracks and turn
pike road are submerged and traffic de-
lsyed.

Charles kelse, of Juliustown, was
brought to jail. on Friday, in condition
that would seem to indicate he bad been
handled in a manner unwarranted and
unjusti6able.
The man was sent down by justice

his prisoner in wagon, the constable
handcuffed Kelse's arms behind him, tied
his legs and carried the rope to the man

Brewery Burned.

The extensive bottling establishment
and whisky dlstillery and brewery OF
Frank n Wiedenman, located along the
Pensaukin creek, above Delair, was total
ly destroyed by fire at an early hour
Thursday morning. The works, which
cover several acres of ground. were dis
co yered to be on fire at 1.30 o'clock, and
aid was quickly summoned, but owing to
the infammable nature Of the building
and its contents, before the Palmyra fire
company could arrive the place was q
roaring mass of flames and together with
number of wagons and three horses
was burned, involving loss of $4,000,
on which there is but $4,000 insurance.
As soon as the firemen arrived they di-
rected their attention to the Wiedenman
residence, hotel and outbuildings, and
through good work succeeded in saving
them. This section is great resort for
tramps, and no other reason can be as
signed than that of incendiary. 1t may
have been that they had been smoking,
and the sparks ignited ithe contents of
the building.

There is no medicine so often needed in
every home and so admirably adapted to
the purposes for which it is intended, as
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the fam
lily has need of it. A toothache or head
ache may be cured by it. A touch of
rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The
severe pain of burn or scald promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to be sent
for. A sprain may be promptly treated
before Inflammation sets in, which insures
a cure in about one-third of the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate treatment be-
fore the parts become swollen, which can
only be done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured before
it becomes serious. A troublesome corn
may be removed by applying it twice day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable time
saved, or pain in the side or chest reliev-
ed without paying doctor bill. Procure
80 cent bottle at once and you will never
regret it. For sale by Elmer d. Prickitt

SEWING MACHINES

There is a new era in the
Sewing Machine business. 1t
used to be that you paid three
times as much for a Sewing
Machine as it was worth. One
third went for the Machine
and two-thirds to support an
agency system from which the
customer did not derive a frac-
ton OF cent of benefit. And
you are still told that you
ought to tax yourself SIXTY
SeOen FER cent to continue that
sham.
1t is similar to the long dis
cussion as to whether books
should be sold as merchandise
or by a false system that i'm
posed fictitious values upon
retail buyers. That battle
was completely won for the
public as this will be.

Machines sold by us

advisement.

view of the fact that the prisoner was
bound hand and feet, unable to move,
much less protect himself or assault the
constable, the action on the part of the
latter was simply brutal.
When Kelse was taken into the Jail and
the handouts and rope were removed,
the man was hardly able to stand alone.
