A Gentle Hint.

Speaking of newspaper advertising a
man who has tried it says: The news
paper is the commercial traveller in city,
country and home, who tells at the fire
side, to it's evening circle, the merits of
your wares and merchandise, if you are
wise enough to employ it to speak for
you. 1t never is neglected, never goes
unheeded, never speaks to inattentive or
unwilling ears. 1t never bores. 1t
never tires.
1t is always welcome visitor. and
meets cordial reception. 1t speaks
when the day is done, when cares vanish,
when the mind is at peace and rest and
in its most receptive mood. Then it is
that its story is told and all who read
treasure what it says and are influenced
to go where it directs for the things OF
which it speaks Estate.

AN ITALIAN ROW.
After His Friend Drank with Him Several
Social Glasses, He Tried to Brain

A fight occurred on Monday night at
house on Pine street, and Rocco Dineli,
the old junk dealer, living on East Com
merce street, near Elmer's mill, came
near bleeding to death from the effects of
the row.
Tuesday a trail of blood was dis
covered leading from Pine street, down
Commerce to DR.. Sheppard's office; then
back to DR.. Davis and DR.. Sites offices,
and then on out to the house near the
mill, in which Dineli resides.
Nicolo Cassari lives at No. 81 Pine
street. Antonio Memma lives at 81 Pine
street. Memma keeps the fruit and cider
Laurel street, and Monday Cassari and
Dineli dropped in there, and all had a
couple of glasses of cider. At quarter
of ten o'clock, Memma closed up his
place, and all went out together, walking
out Commerce and down Pine streets,
Dineli continuing along with them. Ar
| irving at his home, No. 81 Pine street,
Memma stopped, and the other two
passed on to No. 81, where they entered.
Memma entered his own house, ate a
| little supper, and went to bed at 1915
O'Clock.
In Cassari's the two friends drank sew
eral bottles of beer, and about midnight
| Dineli arose to go. He went into the hall
| to go out when Cassari came after him
with beer bottle, striking him with it,
cutting fearful cash on his head, from
| which the blood spurted. Dineli seized
| Cassari and took the bottle away from
him and rushed out into the street, where
| he fell.
Officer Garrison found him, and seeing
that he was cut and bleeding profusely'
started off with him for a doctor. He
went to DR.. Davis, but he was sick; then
| he went to DR.. Sheppard, but this physi-
clan could not respond; then they re-
| traced their steps to DR. Sites.
DR.. Sites would not respond for treat
| ment until he was satisfied that he was
going to get his money for the service.
| and when two other men, who saw the
condition the man was in, weak from the
| loss of blood, assured him that they
would see that he was paid, the doctor
gave the case his attention. Nv
The man had lost good deal of blood,
and when he got home was very weak,
but he does not seem to have been other
wise seriously hurt, and to-day is getting
along comfortably.
Cassari is the same man who was once
arrested for assaulting man named
Bowers, on Mill street.

WRECK NOT REMOVED.
Mariners Will Have to Look Out for a
Hulk Off Hereford.

NhdTAucTS WILL nave 10 LOOk out
Hulk Of Hereford.
ANGLEsEA, N. j., July 3O.-On July 4,
of the present year a private wrecking
company, which had contracted to blow
up the sunken schooner, 'Marion F.
Sprauge," of Hereford Inlet, for $500,
exploded considerable dynamite in the
hold of the "Sprague" and reported the
job done. Since that several mariners
have reported that at low tide the hulk
was still menace to navigation. Ac-
cordingly Inspector J. F. Hasskarl, of
the War Department, came to Anglesea
to-day, and chartered the schooner,
"Mary Alice" Capt. Joseph S. Ludlam,
to examine the wreck.
They found but twelve feet of water
over the hull, and jib-boom two feet
above the water with other rigging near
the surface, endangering coasting vessels.
The wreck lies eight miles southeast by
east, one-half east from Hereford Light,
and as no buoy now marks the spot, all
pilots should look out for the obstruction.

The Flip of a Penny Breaks New Bruns-
wick's Deadlock.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., July 29.-The

the Board of Aldermen in this city to-
night, after deadlock of three months,

must vote for Jacques"
Its CO." said Miller. Each man real
lied that the toss would decide which
party would secure control of the Board.
Several politicians nearby were called to
witness the toss. A Republican tipped a
penny into the air and Alderman Miller
cried "heads." Every eye strained to see
the face of the coin. Heads it was.
Mr.. Mulvey then walked back to the
Council chamber and when the roll was
called he voted for Helm, electing him
amid great cheers and excitement Mr..
Helms election gives the Republicans
the first control of the Board of Aldermen
in fifteen years. Mayor Williamson is a
! Republican but has no vote.

STILL SPREADING.
Talk OF Desire to Quarantine Against
Anthrax.

Talk of a Desire to Quarantine Against
Anthrax.
Anthrax, the fatal horse and cattle
disease, is still spreading, although it is
not so virulent as it has been, and fewer
cattle and horses are dying.
1t has appeared in Dutch Neck, and
two farmers have lost stock by it. One
has losta couple of cows, and the other
lost three COWS and mule.
There is talk of a general quarantine
against milk, until the disease has been
stamped out in this section. The dairy
men and farmers who sell milk advocate
this measure to considerable degree.
They argue that while cows are under
going inocculation by anthrax serum the
milk is unfit for consumption, Though
the veterinary surgeons say the milk is
not affected by the treatment) and if the
sale of milk is stopped by quarantine, all
the milk producers will be enabled to
have their herds of cows inocculated with
out danger to their customers, or without
losing their trade during the process.
The cost of inocculation is considerable,
and the operation once accomplished
there will be future immunity from the
disease by the herd.
Anthrax thrives best during wet
weather and on wet land, and since the
weather has become dry the disease has
aDated, but as soon as it rains the out
break will occur again.

BERT ROSS CAPTURED.

He is Brought up From Bayside on Satur-
day Evening.
Bert Ross, the fly young man who last
week slipped out of the office of Justice
Jesse Davis, has been captured.
1t will be remembered that Ross was
charged with stealing chickens.
While Constable Carman was out of the
Court room, Ross skipped out and made
his escape. The officer made diligent
search for him but he could not be found.
On Saturday Constable Bolle, of Green
wich township, was at Bayside and he
captured the gentleman as he was down
there trying to get across the river into
Delaware. After Ross was captured he
offered Bolle his horse and wagon and
$40, if he would allow him to depart, but
the Constable brought him to this city
and locked him up.

WORKING FOR HIRES.
Trying to Capture Mercer County's Vote
for Him.
JULIUS S. EDWARDS, Secretary

for Him.
A Trenton dispatch to the NeWark
NeacS last evening says: Congressman
Harry Loudenslager, of the First Con-
gressional District, came here from his
home in Woodbury. to-day to work up a
boom for his friend, ,ex Congressman Geo.
Hires for Governor. The Congressman
is anxious to capture Mercer's fiifty-two
delegates for Hires. He belives that if
they can do this and capture South Jer-
sey, Hires will control the convention.
State Comptroller w. L. Hancock, Bar
ker Gummere,' Surrogate Cornell, of the
Mercer contingent, with Gus Barber, of
Woodbury., and Congressman Louden-
Slayer, dined together and talked over
the situation.
Hires candidacy is looked upon here

Elizabeth.
The Voorhees, and Murphy, and also
the Elias Ward boom have staunch
friends in Mercer, and an effort will be
made by the Hires managers to win them
over. Just what plan of action has been
agreed upon by the friends of Hires is
not definitely known.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Last Weeks Fire was at One Time Threat.
ening to be Very Disastrous to the
Whole Nail and Mill plant.

1t was just before o'clock Thursday
night when young man named Hlyard
and another fellow were in boat on the
river, when they noticed bright light in
back of the nail mill. They Immediately
started for the engine house to give the
alarm. A moment later man witnessed
the fire, and hurriedly ran to the engine
house and pulled the alarm by the old
rope.
By this time the blaze was high in the
air, and it seemed as if the entire nail
works would be destroyed. An alarm
was turned in from box 25, and the de-
partment responded quickly.
Chief Elwell sent the hose carriage
through the mill yard and the engine to
the corner OF Commerce and Atlantic
| streets.
There is four inch pipe in the iron
| works, and this fed the hose streams, but
it would not furnish the engine. Chief
Elwell Immediately had three lines OF
hose on the east side of the nail mill, and
two from the engine.
| The fire had started in the annealing
house, adjoining the forebay. and soon
| spread to the foundry and on the roof Of
the front mill, but there it was held, and
the flames extinguished by good work
upon the part of firemen. The foundry
was entirely destroyed, but the nal
works were not seriously damaged.
The foundry building is of stone, and
the walls were soon falling, but fortu
nately the fire lines were drawn, and no
body was under them at the time.
Friday morning the ruins are being
cleared away. The fire undoubtedl,
started in the annealing oven, from
hot nails. The timbers being dry a
punk, made food for the flames. At on
time there was grave danger of the fore
bay burning out, which would have al
lowed the waters of the race to hav
poured out, flooding the mills.
This morning the back mill is working
but the front mill will not be likely to b
running until next week.
A great crowd of people gathered t
watch the flames and the work of tn
firemen, but there was no excitemer
from the fact that the firemen soon ha
fire under control.
The foundry of the iron works have beel
twice before burned, the last time abou
fifteen years ago.
The insurance upon the property raj
out some three weeks ago, but fortu
nately about three days ago heinsuranc
was renewed. The loss from the fire i
covered by insurance but the insuranc
policies are blanket policies and tn
items have not been adiusted

BURT. ROSS A sPRINTER.

Leg Bail.

Charged with Stealing Chickens He Gives
Leg Bail.
Burt. Ross, who lives near the East
Lake Glass Works, and Samuel Housand,
who resides on Willow street, were ar
rested Friday by Constable Carman,
on warrant issued by Justice Jesse G..
Davis, charged with stealing chickens
from Fred. Fox.
They were taken to the Justices office,
and before hearing had been concluded
Ross escaped from Policeman Garrison,
who then had him in charge, taking to
his heels and fleeing up the street.
They were being given hearing, but
the proof not seeming sufficient, search
of their premises was ordered, and Con-
stable Carman left the office with search
warrant for that purpose.
Poultry dealer Richard Miller identi-
fed Ross as the man who brought to his
place certain described lot of thirty
pairs OF Leghorn chickens, and also the
tub in which they were brought there.
After Carman went out, Housand got
thirsty, and went out to the Patriot
cooler several times in company with
officer Garrison, for drink. Then Ross
got thirsty, and all three went to the
cooler. Ross did not return to the
Justices office, but made rush for the
street stairs, jumping, sliding and tum-
bling down the stairs, the officer after
him, and Housand after the officer.
Garrison pulled the door shut at the
foot of the stairs, preventing Housand's IS
exit, and Editor Cheesman and the JUS
tice secured him.
Ross fled up Commerce street, and then
up North Pearl street.,
Officer Garrison found George Shieldt,
with MacFarland's road cart near by; he
sprang into this, and they drove in hot
pursuit, but the feet-footed chicken
thief was a sprinter from way back,
and before many seconds had elapsed he
was lost in the vicinity of Pearl and
Cedar streets.
The officer went out to Walnut and
hurried around the adjacent streets, but
saw nothing of the man, but after he had
left the locality Ross was seen to pass at
Walnut and Cedar streets. Search was
made among barns and out houses, and
the search was kept up, and his home
watched most of the night, but the lively
Ross was not found. In the mean time
Housand was handcuffed and sent over
to Jail.

Merchant Ackley Turned Joke on the

VINELAND, n. j., July 29.-Several
days ago Joseph Ackley, merchant,was
summoned to sit on jury at Justice Mil
ler's. Ackley refused to serve, where
upon Miller fined him s..
"Do you intend gouging me for that
money!" asked Ackley Of Justice Miller
to-day.
"You must pay the tine," returned
Miller.
"AIl right, I'll send the boy right up
with it,' answered Ackley.
In few minutes small boy appeared
at Miller's office. Juggling canvas bag,
and saying that Ackley had sent him
with the money to pay the fine When
the bag was opened 500 pennies rolled
out. "Weu, won't count this over"
said Miller, who tumbled at once to Ack-
leys trick, and, returning the money to
the bag, he crossed the street to deposit
it at the National Bank. Then it was
discovered that Ackley had been there a
few minutes before, and had caused Ac-
countant MacGeorge to unwrap nearly
all the coin packages in the bank to get
the required number of pennies. Mac
George, who was compelled to rewrap
the pennies, thinks the worst of the joke
is ON him.

Edwards, explains how jubilant the
kansas tomato packers feel in regard to
the coming pack:
CONFIDENTIAL.
SEcRETARY's OFFICE,
LEAVENwoRTH, KANSAS, July Is, 1895.
Genttemen;-In this circular-letter my
ann is to give you what information 1
have directly and indirectly from parties
outside of our Association territory. My
direct information is as follows: One
prominent party in Philadelphia writes:
"A great many packers in New Jersey
will not open their factories, while others
are preparing for only about so to go per
cent. Of last years acreage of tomatoes"
A very prominent and reliable packer
in the state of New York writes me that
he Is going to run all of three factories
on decreased acreage of one-third less
than last year, and he says their pea and
corn crops have been injured fully 40 per
cent. On my recent visit to Colorado 1
found that there will be about one-half of
the tomatoes packed there this year of
what there was last year, and in Tennes-
see, Missouri and Kansas there will be
about 70 per cent. of the factories that will
run ithis year as compared with last.
This information gained from our local
Association.
My indirect reports are as follows:
From three of the largest tomato packing
counties in New Jersey they report a
reduction of forty per cent. in acreage.
In Delaware the acreage will be from
fifty to sixty per cent. of last year; three
towns with four factories had 1900 acres
last year-this year they have only 800;
, the State on an average will be about
sixty per cent.
A gentleman, while ON a trip through
Queen Anne, Talbot, Dorchester and Car
oline counties, Maryland, also Sussex Co.
Del, visited twenty eight canning houses
that packed 295, 900 cases, 3-lb., tomatoes
last year, and their combined acreage this
year will not yield over 100000 cases: he
claims the tomato pack this year in Della
| ware and the eastern shore of Maryland
will be the smallest since 1890. In re-
gard to corn l have heard very little ex-
| ceptone house in Maryland that usually
packs over 100000 cases, this year they
| only have acreage for about 1900 cases.
