A FLOOD AT ASBURY PARK.

Rain Fell and Made Lakes of the Streets.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., July 16.-Last
Saturdays terrific storm was surpassed
this afternoon so far as the rain was con-
cerned. The streets were literally flooded.
The square in front of the Post Offioe was
a lake 10 inches deep. Around the West
End and Coleman Hotel plaza the water
was foot deep. In the business part of
the town dry goods boxes on the curb
cutters went floating down the street.
Over in Ocean Grove there was a panic
among tenters. The wind blew a gale;
trees were blown over and broken down
and hailstones the size of hickory nuts
fell, causing several horses to run away.
The stones were gathered up by the pail
full by the children an hour after the
storm had passed. In Broadway, Ocean
Grove, children rode around in a shoe
box for boat Wesley Lake has over
flowed its banks.
There was little lightning here. At
Freehold the lightning struck alongside
the train from Philadelphia, arriving here
at o'clock, and knocked two of the pass
engers unconscious.

Same Elsewhere.

How tickle is popular favor When
our club came home Tuesday night after
winning that glorious game from Mill
vile, nothing in town was too good for
them. When they lest Wednesdays s
game, everyone, from the baby in arms
up, condemned them. The know-it-alls
in town drove the management to release
Stimmell. On Wednesday, when Boogar
was hurt, he was the only one to take the
vacant place, and in spite of his treatment
he put on his suit, went to bat, made a
timely hit, showed his fellows the way to
tackle Beams curves, and jumped back
INTO popular esteem. A week ago the
town demanded Mintzer's release. On

on Wednesday, after Murphy was

CONSIDERABLE MONEY.
Farmers, Truckers and Berry Pickers are
Reaping Good Harvest.

Reaping Good Harvest.
The farmers, truckers and berry pick
ers are now reaping a pretty good har-
vest, and there is considerable money
circulating among them just now. Truck
is plentiful and the markets are pretty
good.
Wagon load after wagon load of vege-
tables ofexcellent quality are coming into
town, and being shipped to the larger
markets.
Potatoes, onions, cucumbers, beets,
boiling corn, string beans, apples and
squashes are very plentiful, and the truck
peddlers are well supplied.
The blackberry crop is good, rasp-
berries have done finely and fair prices
for all are being obtained, while the
enormous crop of huckleberries, has
found ready sale at good prices in Phila-
delphia and New York markets, and this
has put good deal of money in circula-
ton.
Mordecai Pierce, in two days last week,
paid out 1882 for huckleberries shipped
away, and several others paid out con-
siderable amounts to the pickers.
Altogether these things cause the circu-
lation of quite a large sum of money,
which will, in the aggregate, be beneficial
to the trade of the city.

THE BAPTIST UNION.
The Great International Convention at
Baltimore.

All arrangements have been completed,
as far as New Jersey is concerned, for the
big convention to be held in Baltimore,
commencing Thursday morning and clos
ing with Sunday night. 1t is the fifth
international convention of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union of America, and
promises to be attended by anywhere
from ten to fifteen thousand people. The
sessions are to be held in an immense
tent at the entrance to Druid Hill Park,
and this tent is now in position and is
said to be the biggest tent in the world.
Preparatory to opening the convention,
twenty-five rallies will be held in the
twenty-five Baptist Churches and mis-
sions of Baltimore, at which visitors from
the various States will be the speakers,
Those from New Jersey who will speak
are as follows: Rev. w. G. Russell, of
Camden, Rev. c. H. Dodd, of Newark;
Rev. w. E. Staub, Elizabeth; Philip OFT,
Camden. Rev. A. G. Lawson, D. D., of
Camden, and Arthur w. Palmer, of New
ark, represent New Jersey on the general
program.
The New Jersey delegates have oppor-
| tunity to go by either of the three differ
ent routes, announces S. Conrad OFT, the
State Transportation Leader. The most
popular route, judging by the registra-
tions so far, will be that by rail over the
Baltimore and Ohio's picturesque line,
leaving the depot at Twenty-fourth and
Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, at p. m.,
! on Wednesday Thoro tho Torsou C,itv
especial" will be attached and all Jersey
will go down together. The fare for the
round trip is $3.50, tickets good to return
up to August 5th. Those who prefer the
boat trip can enjoy the ride on one of the
Ericsson liners for S1.50 for the round
trip, leaving the pier just above Chestnut
street, Philadelphia, at 7.30 a. m. The
third route is by wheel. The cyclists
will leave tomorrow morning at $50 in
charge of competent wheelman and will
cover 81! miles at an eight mile an hour
pace,
New Jerseys headquarters in Baltimore
will be at the Eutaw Place Baptist Church
This Church is one of the finest in Balti
more, and is the wealthiest Baptist Church
! III Iue MONUMENTAL SlCy. 1t faces EuldN
Place Square, on a direct line to Drui6
Hill Park, where the Convention tent vii
be placed. The delegates from New Fer
sey will be located in the homes surround
ing this church. and the first-class char
acter of them can be imagined. A rate
of S1.25 per day has been secured in these
homes for full board, including lodging
and three meals per day. New Jersey
delegates will be able to reach the con-
vention within ten miles from these
places, and the location in every way is
pronounced the most desirable in Balti-
more. In addition to an invitation from
the church clerk in the name Of the
church, the State leader has a most cor
dial letter of welcome from the Eutaw
Place B. Y. P. U. announcing the fact
that it has appointed two delegates to
come as far as Philadelphia to meet the
Jersey crowd and go from there on tc
Baltimore with them.

TROLLEY RACES WITH COURTS.
Lively Track-Laying in Middlesex to Avoid
an Injunction.

an Injunction.
NEW BRUNSWICK, July 11.-Five hum
dred men went to work at o'clock this
morning to lay the tracks of the New
Brunswick Traction Company's road at
Midtown, three miles from this city. By
noon they had completed 500 feet, and the
managers of the company hoped to have
LOCO feet completed before midnight.
The unusual haste is accounted for by
the fact that one of the largest property
owners ON the Midtown turnpike. Saml.
Gordon has opposed the laying OF tracks
on the road past his property.
Mr.. Gordon fought the trolley company
on this ground last night before the
Borough Commissioners of Milltown,
but the latter passed an ordinance giving
the Traction Company the right OF way.
Mr.. Goldon's lawyers went before the
Chancellor, at Jersey City, this morning,
to secure an injunction. The trolley
company expects to finish laying 1000
feet of track past Mr.. Gordon's place be-
fore an injunction can be served.

THE FISHERMAN HAD LUCK.
Caught Senator Bradley's Turtle and Got

the $25.
AsBURY PARK, N, j., July IA fort
night ago a very large sea turtle was
caught here. 1t came into the possession
of Founder James A. Bradley, whereupon
the Senator conceived the scheme of lib
Grating the turtle and then offering a re-
ward for its capture. So he had the ami
mails shell properly inscribed and had
the creature set free week ago. He then
promised to give the person who should
capture the turtle, after it had been free
"a hours, S25. Since then the pound
keeper and fishermen all along the shore
have been in that snapper's wake. The
good luck came yesterday to a Seabright
fisherman, who came down with the tur-
tie in boat. He received the $25, with
the Senator's warmest congratulations,
and returned home in high glee.

FERRAuUTE ROBBED.

Detectives at Work on the Case and Track
ing Down the Rascals.
A bold attempt was made either Satur-
day night or Sunday, to. rob the safe in
the office of the Ferracute Machine Com
pany.
The safe was locked up Saturday, when
work was done at the works and among
the valuables left in it were the envelopes
with pay of some of the men who were
not on hand to receive it on Saturday,
but would be paid Monday.
None of the employees of the company
visited the Office Sunday, but when
they went there on Monday, they dis
covered that an attempt had been made
by burglars to crack the safe and loot it.
President Oberlin Smith and Treasurer
F. F. Smith were notified, and were soon
there; they found that two holes had been
drilled in the door of the safe, and third
attempted; the knob was torn off and
carried away, but there were no evidences
of gunpowder having been used.
Mayor Appelgate was telephoned to
and Prosecutor Logue was at once noti-
iICtl, ~ tlldu bCUCCVlNO LULU VI SIty pOllCC
officers might be put upon the case.
The safe door was still locked and no
effort was made to unlock it until the de-
tectives should see it. 1t was the impress
sion that. the burglars had opened the
safe, and then relocked it.
A shop door, which fastens with a
spring catch, was found open, and it is
believed that the burglars made their en-
trance in that way, as there were no indi-
cations of their getting in in any other
way discovered.
The safe backs up against the side of
the main office, right next to the Com
merce street sidewalk. No traces could
be discovered of the bold burglars.

Chas. III. Platts was elected Examiner.
Mr. Nichols called the attention of the
Board to the fact that at the last meeting
Miss Nellie Silvers was elected as teacher
in Class c., at salary of $3.50, and as
signed to a position in the 9th grade;
another teacher in the same grade re-
ceives salary of S425. He considered it an
injustice to Miss Silvers, and thought her
salary should be increased to at least S400.
DR.. Peck agreed with Mr.. Nichols,
but said as the rules would not permit of
the changing of salaries during the year it
would be necessary to suspend the rules,
which could be done by unanimous con-
sent.
Mr.. Nichols moved to suspend the rules.
The motion did not prevail, Mr. Turner
voting nay.
The President announced the following
standing committees:

"Let your moderation be known among

of excitement attending the ball games

GLASSWORKERs' CONVENTION.
The American Flint Union at Toledo and

the Window Light Men at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, July 1.-THE National
Window Glass Workers will not leave
the Knights of Labor, though it is well
known that such was the intention yes
terday.
Secretary Treasurer John w. Hayes
appeared before the Convention to explain
why l.. A. 300 should not leave the old
organization. When he got up to speak
he was hissed, but the delegates were all
with him when he finished. When
hissed Hayes dared the organization to
leave the knights of Labor, and ex-
pounded few sections of the laws of the
order, one of which stated that if local
organization seeded any ten members of
the body could reorganize and take all
the funds and property belonging to the
seeding. Mr.. Hayes followed this up
by giving the names of ten men who
would take this action in case the organi-
zation was to leave the knights of Labor
The fight was made on the proposed
secession of L. A. 300, the richest labor
| organization in the county. 1t holds
bonds, mortgages and cash to the amount
of $500,0 and has membership of 1000,
including all branches Of the glass trade.
The general sentiment of the Convention
was that secession was out of the question,
although no formal vote has been taken.
TOLEDO, O., July l4.-One session of
! the American Flint Glass Workers
Union was held yesterday, and that was
devoted to hearing reports from commit
tees. A supplementary report was pre-

Their Big Midsummer Sale to Continue
BY Request.

Their Big midsummer sale TO Commune
By Request.
So MANY INQUIRIES.
We have received SO many inquiries
by mail as to the continuance of our Mid
summer Sale, that we have determined
to state that the big sale will continue.
THE PRICES ON GRANITE.
Talk about rock-bottom prices!
Our prices have been put down to the
solid granite, and the sale will continue
on this very basis until the object of our
intentions has been accomplished.
1T Is BROUGHT ABOUT.
This mammoth sale is brought
about by the contemplated change in the
management of our firm; it is no bogus
or spasmodic effort but genuine mid
summer sale where the whole of our inn
mense stock is placed at the disposal of
our thousands of customers.
No USE TO QUOTE.
1t is no use to quote prices to-day;
everybody knows what we mean when
we say our goods are the best and our
prices are the lowest. We mean that a
small sum of money will go further and
buy more at this great sale at our store
than at any other store in New Jersey.
IT rs ALSO REMARKABLE.
We must say that it is remarkable
that the great rush during this big sale
is to the counters Of the silks, and black
dress goods and colored dress goods de-
partment. Here the prices have been cut
and slaughtered, absolutely murdered,
and the people have found it out. Never
was such an opportunity to secure silks
and dress goods of such fabulous qualities
at such remarkably low prices.
WE WANT ALL OUR FRIENDS TO COME.
WE WANT THE PUBLIC TO COME.
