At late hour Saturday night three
tramps who have been employed picking
berries upon the boys of the Emson estate
at Golfers Mill, went into New Egypt
and stopped at the American House
There one of the men got into a dispute
with William Lewis, Of Bordentown, who
is employed as special agent for the Pru-
dental Life Insurance Company, of New
ark. Lewis displayed some money, which
he offered to wager on foot race, where
upon one of the tramps made a break for
the money
Bystanders shouted to Lewis to look
out, as one of the other tramps was about
to plunge knife into him. The warn
ing, however, was not quick enough, and
as Lewis attempted to get out of the mans
way the knife was plunged into his back
between the shoulder blades. Lewis fell
to the floor and the would-be murderer
made wild dash at the others nearby,
inficting severe cuts upon the hands and
arms of Patrick Cummings, George Test
and DR.. ]. G. Feaster. The man who did
the cutting exclaimed that he was "Jack
the Ripper" and defed anyone to come
near him, saying he would mark them for
life.
Constable Charles Robbins struck the
would-be thief with club and succeeded
in arresting Jack the Ripper and one of
the others after a desperate struggle, the
slasher welding razor in one hand and
a knife in the other. Both men were
finally knocked down and badly beaten
by the Infatuated mob which had assem-
bled in the streets.
All the injured men were taken to a
nearby drug store, where their wounds
we're dressed by DIR. Charles E. Wood
ward, Jr., while the senior doctor looked
after the injured tramps. 1t was found
upon examination that the blade of the
knife had penetrated the right lung of
Lewis and his chances of recovery are
doubtful The two men were committed
to the county Jail at Toms River to await
the action of the Grand Jury. The sIasher
refused to give any name or where he
hailed from, while the other claimed to
be a resident of Philadelphia.

At vestry meeting of Trinity Protest
and Episcopal Church on Thursday, the
committee appointed to present names of
candidates for the position of rector repor-
ted large number of names, but the yes
trymen were unable to make a selection.
Afterisome discussion the acting rector,
Rev. John Fenton, was requested to re-
main in charge another year. An effort
to make him the permanent rector failed
to go through.
Wednesday evening at half past SIX the
fire Dells rang an alarm that brought
many of our citizens from their supper
tables in hurry. A bright glare on Sec
ond street near Mill attracted the crowd
there at once, when it was found that An
derson's gasoline and coal oil wagon was
on fire. Anderson had attempted to draw
some oil from the tank by lsmplight,
when the flame was communicated to the
oil. The shed in which the wagon was
standing had large amount of oil stored
in it, and seeing the fire was getting
ahead of him, Anderson quickly drew the
wagon out into the yard, where it contin-
ued to blaze for some time making bright
glare and considerably alarming the neigh
borhood. The 6remen were on hand
promptly to prevent the spread of the fire
and remained on hand until all danger
was over.
Another fire broke out on Thursday af-
ternoon in William Birdsall's barn on
Third street The building was nearly
empty and it is not known definitely
what caused the blaze to start. George
Reeves barn adjoined it and contained a
stock Of vegetables for his huckster bust
ness, horse and lot of hay, harness,
etc. The animal was removed at once,
and none too soon, for the two barns were
both burning furiously in a few minutes
after the fire was first observed. The
loss was about $1,000, and is equally divid-
ed between Willism Burdsall and John
Leworthy. There was no insurance.
