Gold Horseshoes In olden T,me..

Roman writers inform us that Com.
modus caused the hoofs Of his horses
to be covered with gold leaf, and even
the fetlocks to be gilded. Nero's short
journeys were invariably performed
on white mules wearing gold shoes on
their fore feet and silver behind. The
beasts which drew the chariots of his
wife, Poppae, we're shod all around with
gold. Several Others among the digni-
taries and potentates Of the riotous
days Of the Roman empire shod their
horses with gold and used the same ma
terial for bride bits, buckles, spurs,
etc.

deem it the duty of every school direc-
tor to personally interest himself in the
children who attend our public schools.
A kind word, a pat on the head, an en-
couraging look, suggestive speech in
the school room, all go long way to-
ward instilling into the youthful mind
greater vigor, greater hope and more
careful attention to the studies which are
to equip them for the business activities
of the life before them. This view I have
always held, and shall continue to hold.
1 would rather have the affection Of the
three thousand children in our home
schools and retire in honor, than sit in
this Board by unanimous vote of Coun-
Gil occupying a place in which neither
the people nor the children desired me.
My heart is with the pupils in the
schools, and l wish for them continued
prosperity and happiness in the years
which are to come.
thank you gentlemen for the courte-
sizes extended while member of this
Board, which, with occasional excep-
tions, have been uniform.

Run Over and Killed.

Daniel Lally, a conductor upon gravel
train of the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad, was thrown from his train on
Atlantic avenue, Atlantic City, Thursday
afternoon, and crushed to death. The
train was backing slowly down the street,
when one of the cars of the local trolley
line obstructed the road.
Engineer Thomas Crane applied the air
brakes to avoid collision, and the sud-
den jar threw Conductor Lally, who was
standing upon the rear car, from his feet
and directly under the wheels. He seized
projecting bar as he fell, but gravel
pile threw his feet from under him and
he was hurld beneath the rolling wheels.
Engineer Crane witnessed his mishap
and brought the engine to halt, but too
late to save the unfortunate conductor
from being ground to death beneath the
heavy freight cars The body was con-
veyed to Lally's late home, on Arctic.
avenue.
Daniel Lally was well-known in this
city. For several years his run was to,
this city as baggage master on the West
Jersey Railroad. He was well-liked by
the employees on the road, and there
was much sorrow expressed by them
this morning when they learned of his.
horrible death.

VINELAND. N. j., June 25.-Bicyclists
OF Philadelphia and South Jersey will
hail with delight the proposed building
of bicycle path through the low meadow
lanG between Sea Isle City and the Main
Shore road. The company is forming
with capital of $4,000, and stock is being
taken. The track will be two and a half
miles long and of wood. 1t will have a
railing, and will be five and one-half feet
wide and fifteen inches above the ground.
G. X. Lands and Marcus Fry, of this
place, are interested in the track, the
building of which will enable cyclists to
make their seashore runs without being
harassed by the meadows.

The quiet village of Newport was
thrown into a state ofexcitement Monday
night from the attempted suicide of Ches-
ter Downam, young married man of
the village.
Bowman, who married daughter of
Charles Ladow, a prominent merchant,
of the village. does not live with his wife.
The couple separated some time ago and
since then Mrs. Downam has made her
home with her father.
Every time young Bowman gets to
drinking he wants to see his wife and
goes to her home for that purpose, but is
refused admittance. Monday he had
been drinking all day and last evening he
went to Mr.. Ladow's house and asked to
see his wife.
He was warned away by Mr.. Ladow,
and went away, but no farther than the
yard. Immediately the family heard the
report of pistol. Mr.. Ladow went in
the yard and found Downam lying prone
on the grass. He told him to get out of
the yard, whereupon Downam got up and
staggering toward fence fell over it and
lay there until persons went to him.
He was picked up and carried into
Drummer's restaurant and physician
sent for. On arriving the doctor soon
located the ball. Downam had placed the
pistol close to his heart and fired, the
ball grazing his ribs and lodging under
the skin in his back. The wound is a
serious but not dangerous one, and he
will recover.
He told the doctor to give him some
thing to ease the pain, but not give him
anything to save his life, as he wanted to
die. The wound was dressed and Down.

towards what is known as Fast Landing.
1t is said this is the second attempt he
has made on his life within a short time
and the inhabitants of Newport think
something should be done with him as it
is not known what trouble he will max 9
during one of his drunken spells.

FAIR ASSOCIATION.

Committee Appointed to Rebuild the
Grand Stand.
The Agricultural Society's Executive
Committee met Wednes lay afternoon and
committee was appointed to ascertain
how much money it will take to rebuild
temporarily the grand stand, which was
wrecked the other day.
The matter of changing the location of
the grounds to the Tumbling Dam was
discussed, but the committee did not
feel that conclusion could be reached at
this time. There was universal feel
ing that the Tumbling Dam was the
place, but just how to get there under
existing circumstances is a matter that
is yet to be discussed.

On Saturday afternoon while young
Timothy Campbell was riding his wheel
down Laurel street he was run into by a
horse and wagon. The driver did not
give any of the way to Campbell, who
was thrown from his wheel to the ground.
He luckily escaped injury however, but
his machine was badly bent.

the Office c}nSoIu
is the removal of Laning.
There were several specifications in the
charges, but the principal one was that.
the Postmaster had permitted certain
papers of the Civil Service Commission
to be used for the benefit of his brother
Frank, who was an applicant for letter
carrier. The question blanks were re-
moved from the office and given in charge
of the family of Frank Laning, that he
could work out the answers previous to
day the local Civil Service Board met.
These question blanks come to the Civil
Service Board sealed, and the instructions
are to the effect that they shall not be-
opened previous to the day of the meet
ing of the Board, and then in the room
=
presence of the applicants.
1t was also charged that the Postmaster
was discourteous to the employees and
patrons of the office, and it is understood
that these charges were proven,
When it became known that Mr.. Lam
ing na1 been removed, general satisfac-
ton was expressed at the appointment of
Mr.. Pierson. Tax Collector Betchner
was an applicant for the place.
Mr.. Pierson will take charge as soon as
he receives official notification of his ap-
pointment and qualifications.
The appointment of course is subject to
the confirmation of the Senate, and as
that body does not meet for some time,
it is only problematical whether or not
the appointment will be confirmed.
Mr.. Laning refused to be interviewed
concerning the matter.
