BOLD ATTEMPT
TO WRECK A TRAIN.
A Marrow Escape From Derail.

ment by a west Jersey Train
Sunday Night as 1T Came Into
This City.
There is some serious deviltry going
on In East Bridgeton. There has been
for some time, but 1t has been only
costly mischief, until now.
Lest Sunday night when the train
came In Bridgeton from Philadelphia,
the COW catcher ran into a tie and
some other obstructions placed upon
the tracks directly In the rear of the
Practical Machine shops. The train
was coming along at rapid speed. and
the obstructions yielded to the moving
train and were carried along until the
train was across Commerce street when
the engine freed itself from the now
thoroughly spiintered ties. and none of
the cars left the rails.
All along the track the bolts In the
rails showed where the ties had been
dashtng against the iron, and at the
frog of the Traction Company the
WOODEN ties were badly splintered.
This was all the damage done, but
had not the obstruction easily yielded
thereswould have been terrible &C.
tality, for there are deep valleys on
either side of the road bed, end the re-
suits would have been disastrous had
the cars yopDled ovar
Some time last night or Saturday
night couple OF windows were broken
ont of the waich house at the crossing
and the door was smeared all over
Mith clay.
Friday night the restaurant of Sam'l
Shords, just above the crossing was
Dune g,d by a large stone being
thrown through the window. The
same night big stone was thrown at
Geo. Garwood, In the watch house,
but 1t did not strike the window, and
hence Mr., Garwood was not injured.
The people out there are terrorized
and while they have very strong sus.
picions, they are as yet uncertain.
Some effort should be made to catch
the villain and have him suffer well
for his crime.

ACTION ON CONTRACT.
Postmaster Laning sued for q
Ten Dollar Note.

Col. William T. Dubois, the we'll
known cigar agent, has brought suit
in Justice Louis Meyers Court, against
8. Albert Lauing, postmaster, for $40
on contract.
The whole thing might originally
have been joke, but recently the af-
fair has become so excitingly funny
that the Big Bluff Postmaster, can.
not see where the laugh comes In. The
Postmaster, as Is well known, Is very
thrifty, and it certainly seems to him
that his tendency to shoot off his
mouth, is going to cost him few of
his greenbecks.
One week ago yesterday Col. Du-
Bois and Laning were In the Hotel
Cumberland, and became involved in
an argument. The contention was
more or less heated, end finally
through the persussion of the pro-
prietor, the combatants were induced
to turn off the air.
The following night, however, the
two met at the White Elephant cigar
store. Since then, 1t is stated on au.
thority that the Postmaster is sorry
that he spoke. But the Sunday argu.
ment was continued with interest, and
| finally Col. Dubois was crowding the
Postmaster hard, and in despair, Lam
ing said dubois if you will keep your
mouth shut for half an hour will give
you $40 note.'
That settled it. The Colonel shut up
as tight as a clam. The people In the
store became interested. Laning
laughed softly. The clock did not do
anything bnt tick off the minutes.
After about twenty minutes Laning
begau to turn white about the corners
of his elaborate mouth, and there
came husky feeling In the throat and
he dived outside the store. But the Col
onel was silent, and the minutes ticked
on. Thirty.dve minutes finally elapsed
before he uttered a word. Then he
quietly made out a bill for $40 and
mailed 1t to Laning.
Laning tried his usual bluff the next
morning but it didn't work. In this
little matter he did not have a friendly
Civil Service Commission behind him.
He refused howeversto pay 1t, aud the
Colonel employed lawyer and
brought suit. Squire Meyers set the
Goth Inst. for the hearing and a
number of witnesses have been SUBJ
penaed. The case will be awaited
with interest.
This Is no joke. If you are not con
vinced of Its reality ask Lanipg.

BIG IMPROVEMENT.
The West Jersey Railroad has
New Plans.

The West Jersey Railroad ha1
New Plans.
Arrangements are being made by
the Pennsylvania railroad officials, for
one OF the biggest improvements ever
attempted In Camden. It is nothing
else then the eleyating of all of the
tracks of the main line run In and to
that city.
This does away with the deadly
grade crossings, and Camden is too
big town to have grade crossings.
The elevation of the road will ex-
tend from the city to some point out
In Stockton township. This will do
away with several death traps along
Bridge avenue, that should have been
exterminated some years ago. OF
course these plans will necessitate the
improving Of the ferry depot, and that
will have to be madelupon a grander
scale then ever before. The improve
ment will cost thousands and thous.
ands of dollars, but the Pennsylvania
Company Is always foremost and never
stops at cost.

Invite Inspec ctiOn of AstOn1sh-

| The grelt business of
the late A. T. Stewart g.
Co., of New York-A. T.
Stewart, the greatest
merchant the world has
ever produced--has falleu
into the hands of Hilton,
Hughes & Co., who for
years have been running
the great business of sup
plying at wholesale other
dry goods merchants.
Suddenly, without notice,
they have concluded to
drop the wholesale busi-
ness, and have put their
immense wholesale stock
of beautiful dress goods
upon the market, at
prices which at once cap.
ture the buying public.
Our own great dry
goods house of 8, E. Nc
GEAR & BRO, have been
wholesale customers for
80 years of the great es,
tablishment H il on,
Hughes & Co., now rep
resent, aad on being no.
tilted of the intention of
the firm, placed en order.
The answer came, "We
put you these fabrics at
a price for you to sell
them to your customers
at rs cts. the yard"
The goods have come
and are now on the coun-
ters of 8, E MCGEAR &
BRO. The supply Is not
half enough, for the
goods are gorgeous Ia
loveliness and unexcelled
in quality.
Glance over the pile OF
SEQ pieces. Handle them
and feel of their soft
loveliness. They are all
double width and are all
wool, and such fstonish-
ingly beautiful effects-a
full score of m-silk-r
and-wool effects, illumi-
mated mixtures, two
/. toned effects, cheviot
cloth effects, and the list
could 60 on.
No one would think
these goods expensive at
so cts. the yard, and yet
the price mark Is IS cts, a
yard. An experienced
lady examining the goods
this morning and seeing
! the price mark thought
it was a mistake, she
thinking the 25 cts was
Intended for rs ct3.
There Is no mistake
about it. The price Is
just plain twenty-five

and possibly was little proud Of it at

since then Mr.. Campbell has changed

He rounded the gentlemen too last

Crime in Iberia and St. Mar
tin.

Dloiiitb hltolbOy hopCie
Broussard has just made out re-
port of the criminal record of this
Nineteenth Judicial District, COM
posed of Iberia and St Martin, to
be transmitted to the Attorney
General of the State. He has
kindly permitted us to make a
synopsis of same, which will prove
of interest, as it establishes COM
parison in the matter of crimes
between the two parishes, which
is not to the advantage of Iberia.
1t IS to be hoped that the effect of
this comparison will be TO put our
evil disposed people on their good
behavior and create a spirit of
emulation that will at least result
in Iberia scoring as good record
as st. Martin makes in District
Attorney Broussard's report. The
record is as follows:
Murder--Iberia, 5 convictions
and 3 acquittals. st. Martin, 2
convictions.
Administering poison with in
tent to murder-Iberia, l. At
tempt to administer poison--Iberia
l.
Shooting with intent to kill
Iberia, 6 convictions, 3 acquittals.
Wilfully shooting alberta, l

tions, l ac9uittal.

Perjury-Iberia, l acquittal.
Oppression and extortion in Of
6ce-Iberia, 2 convictions and l
acquittal.
Selling liquor without license
Iberia, 5 convictions.
Carrying concealed weapons
Iberia, 80 convictions and 3 &C.
quittals: St Martin, convictions.
The above are the offences re-
ported to the Attorney General
and sum up 80 convictions and 81
acquittals for Iberia as against 81
convictions and 4 acquittals for
st. Martin.
Other offences not reported to
the Attorney General are as fol-
lows:

WASHINGTON. May 12.-On yesterday,
shortly after the time came for the in
PRODUCTION of bills in the Senate QUAY
introduced bill, previously introduced
in another Congress, roNiding for a
codilication of the laws Of the District of
Columbia, 1t is one OF the most volum-
nous bills in the document room, and
Quay insisted that it be read the first
time in full. Under the rules one obiec-
ton carried it over until today.
The practice Of reading bills by title
the first and second tine is done by
unanimous consent only, and it does net
appear clear how the Democrats can
avoid listening to the reading of bills if
the members who introduce them insist
upon 1t. There are many very large and
bulky measures that have never been en-.
acted into law that slumber peacefully
in the desks of Senators ready to follow
the pace set by Quay, and there is, under
the present rule, no means whereby
majority can prevent the introduction
and reading of every document in the
shape of bill in the document room.
BY this means time will be consumed in
the transaction of morning business I'M
til O'Clock arrives, when the tariff bill
comes up and the Harris resolution to
provide longer working hours for the Sen,
ate fails for the day. The Republicans OF
course deny that they arc tilibuS tcriuU or
