in the Opera House to morrow Thursday
evening, by the best cmateur talent it is
possible to procure in the city. This is a
high class comedy after the order of "The

season. Lysander Lyon, the hero, in
wolves himself into innumerable scrapes
by his penchant for lying and the skillful
manner in which he r%econciles his various
fabricalions forms q basis for many ludi-
crous situations. The title, however, is by
70 means the principal one, as the author

A RUNAWAY.
And One Which Came Near killing Mrs
Eli T. Hitchner.

And One Which Came Near killing Mrs
Eli T. Hitchner.
There was runaway Monday after
noon in which Mrs. Eli 7. Hitchner came
near losing her life, and it was only a
miracle that she did not.
Mrs. Hitchner was driving to town
with trunk, which was TO have been
shipped away on the w. J. and S. r. R.,
when near the Marlboro Church her
horse took fright at some object along the
road and started on run.
The lady held on to the reins. The
wagon upset. throwing her to the ground
and dragging her considerable distance
before she was compelled to let go the
lines. The horse kept on it's mad career,
until stopped down the road.
Mrs. Hitchner was bruised in many
places about her body and her face was
cut and bruised. Her clothes were torn
off her and it is feared she received inter-
nal injuries.
She was taken care of by neighbor
who fitted her up with dress and after
awhile she thought she had sufficiently
recovered to finish her journey, although
suffering terribly.

An Early Morning Blaze in Back Neck
Sunday.

An Early Morning Blaze in Back Neck
Sunday
About four O'Clock Sunday morning
the house on Seorum Dubois farm in
Back Neck burned down.
The house stood on what is known as
the "Old Farm" along the Cohansey, and
on the main road leading to Back Neck,
about eight miles from Bridgeton.
There was no one living in the house,
the tenant, Robert Levick, having moved
out last week. James higgins was soon
to occupy the house and run the farm.
"About four O'Clock" said Levi Robin
son, who lives an the next farm, ST was
awakened by some one yelling fire -
Mr.. Robinson got up and saw the house
in flames.
1t was wooden structure and soon
burned down. 1t could not be saved
The entire thing is loss to Mr.. Dubois
There was no insurance on the build
ing. Only last week Mr.. Dubois put an
insurance on house in this city and
thaught then he should place one on this
farm house, but neglected doing so.
The entire loss of about $500 falls on
him. The cause is not known, but must
have been of incendiary origin.

GOVERNOR, OUT OF IT.

viii Not Be a Candidate for Ur' ted States
Senator
Governor Griggs Tuesday, through
Secretary of State Werts, his personal
friend, gave out an authorized interview
relative to his proposed candidacy for the
United States Senate, to succeed. James
Smith, Jr., in 1889. The Governor says
that he had never done or said anything
to justify the current belief that he was
candidate for the place. Continuing, the.
Governor says that he has no doubt what
ever that the Republicans will remain in
control of the State, and be able to choose
successor to Mr.. Smith, and, although
many have expressed to him the hope
that he would be that successor, yet he is
not candidate and cannot except the
office. This is not because the place is
not attractive or not to his taste, but he
cannot afford it. He says that it is i'm
possible for him to sacrifice his business
at the bar on $4,000 year, and he cannot,
'in justice to himself and his family, en-
tail the necessary expenditures connected
with such an office. He expresses him
self as intensely grateful for the support
of hosts of friends, yet wants it under
stood that it is entirely settled that he is
not candidate and will not be- He con-
cluddes by saying that at the end of his
term as Governor, he will resume his
practice at the bar, free from political as
pirations, but always ready to give to the
Republican party any assistance in his
power.
The Governor met Bridgeton gentle.
man Tuesday in Trenton, and gave him
quite an interview. He said some things
not for publication, but frankly declared
that he was not candidate for the Senate
nor would he be, as he was to retire to
private life as soon as his term for Gov
ernor was ended.

SAYS HE rs QUEEN.
Fellow Representing Himself as the
Great Optician.

A Fellow Representing Himself as the
Great Optician.
There was fellow going about the
streets here Saturday representing him
self as Queen, the optician, of Philadel-
phia. He drove about town with a dilapi-
dated horse and wagon,
He would stop at different places and
say he was Queen and forbid people
buying any spectacles or glasses of any
one who represented themselves as
Queen for he was the original and they
should buy of none but him.
He told them that there had been some
one around and he was trying to catch
them. They were all frauds but him, for
he was Queen himself.
The fellow acted very much like as if
he was insane and should have been
taken care of.
