BUT THE OYSTER WAR MAY TAKE
"A SERIOUS TURN IF ARRESTS
ARE ATTEMPTED.
Bridgeton, Dec. 14.-While there has
been no open resistance to arrests for
oystering on the grounds OF the Gro
noken Oyster Company, there is likely
to be an outbreak at any time. The
tongers are becoming wearied at the
constant liability of arrest, and they
have been advised to resist it. There
were number arrested on Saturday at
the instigatiOn of the oyster company,
charged with longing on their grounds.
and taking away the oysters of the
company.
The warrants were served by Officers
Frank J. Lore and George Watkins, and
the men arrested refused to come 10
BridgetOn, but availed themselves OF
the right to go before the nearest JUS
tice OF the peace and give bail for their
appearance at court. The pOpulace
sympathize with the men, and the JUS
tices in Dividing Creek and Port Nor
ris, to whom the men appealed, waiv-
ing hearings, held them in their own
recognizance of So and $40 each for
their appearance at court
There are thirty or forty more war
rants in the hands Of the officers, and
now the men begin to manifest a dis
position to resist arrest.
They have armed their boats with
guns and axes, and declare they will
shoot or cut down any who try to
board their boats to make arrests.
The pOpulace, even the women and
children, jeer at the officers as they see
them pass through the villages.
1t is quite likely that the matter will
take a serious turn if more arrests are
attempted.

CRAzED BY RELIGION.
WOMAN TIED A LIGHTED CANDLE
TO HERSELF AND SET FIRE 10
HER TRUNK. 0srNR,Wf1

M.
Media, Dec. 14.-Residents and De-
destrians on State street We're greatly
excited for a time late Sunday night
over the screams of a woman who was
running up and down that thoroughfar.
in an aimless sort Of way. The woman
proved to be Ellen MacPhillips. who.
until Saturday, was employed as a SER
want in the family of Mrs. A. M. Bunt-
ing, at Moylan.
Early on Saturday morning the fam
lily was awakened by strange noises
that came from Ellen's room. She was
calling Mrs. Bunting loudly and talking
to herself incoherently about religious
matters. Mrs. Bunting, accompanied by
her son, Walter, went to the room Oc-
eupied by the craZed woman, but found
the door locked. To repeated entreat-
les the woman refused to unlock the
door, but continued the more desperate
ly to discuss matters pertaining to eter-
nal things. When the door was forced
open a tragic scene was presented to
them. There stood Ellen with a lighted
candle tied to her waist, to which was
also fastened an image such as is found
IN some religious households.
The woman's trunk was also in a
blaze, and it was discovered that Ellen
had set fire to the contents. With all
haste possible the trunk was thrown
out OF the window and an effort was
made to calm the woman, who resisted
any attempt to lay hands upon her.
The woman when found yesterday in
sisted that the police communicate with
President Mckinley as to her condi-
tion. Physicians pronounced her in
sane, and she was sent to the insane
department at the County House.
