BORDENTOWN. Aug. s, 1ss6.-Luke
Flanagan, employed as hostler at the
Washington House, had a painful battle
with an angry gameeock Tuesday. The
bird was confined in a large coop together
with a number of hens destined to be
slain for table use.
Flanagan entered the coop and seized a
fat fowl with the intention of killing It
for the hotel cook. The chicken gave a
frightened squawk and the gamecoek re-
sponded, repeatedly sinking his spurs in
Flanagan's hands. both of which were
badly lacerated. The surprised man for

help, when a stable hand responded and

Valuable wheel.

Shortly after dark last evening Miss
Edith Wallace, of No. 81 Linden avenue.
returned from an evening spin ON her
wheel. She brought her Wheel on the YER
anda while she went into the house. She
came out again in about fifteen minutes
to take her bicycle in, but was surprised
to find it missing.
She inquired Of the n~eighbors who were
sitting on their verandas, but strange to
say though the street is brightly lighted
with electric lights no one seemed to have
roticed any one taking the wheel. Some
children who were playing near by said
that they saw a man go up and take the
wheel, but thought 1. belonged to him.
At the Fifth Precinct Police station
Sergeant McDavitt was sitting at his
desk and one of the policemen said that
a man had just passed riding a lady's
wheel. The sergeant ordered the police
man to pursue the man, but he had made
too much headway and escaped.
The wheel is of the "Wayerly' make.
Its number is 54,498.

BAs HAD EXPERIENCE.

In conversation with a representative
of the Paterson .'Chronicle,' the other day,
Manager Noonan, of the New York and
New Jersey Telephone Company, said he
had some experience with competing tele-
phone service. fie said that in 1879 the
Hell Telephore Company orsned an ONE

streets. and the Gold and Stock Telc-
graph Company Dieter known as the
Edison Company opened an office at the
corner of Main and Ellison streets. Both
companies carried on business for a year
more or less. At that time the business
was limited, ard the Edison Company
has about 2n0 subscribers, and the Bell
Company had about 100. Many subscribers
and those who really used and required
telephone service (active business mem

the pubic TO them. In the latter part OF
1879 ard the beginning OF 1880 the two
compares were consolidated, and the
service was then furnished at one-half

The story goes that Mrs. Howe was one fine morn ing walking down Beacon street, Bos- ton, when she met friend who asked her how Dr. Howe was. "Dr. Howe ?" repeated Mrs. Howe, vaguely.
