GOOD SPORT AT FLEETWOOD.
Dudley OIcott on His Good Behavior-Easy for
Vatican.

Tho delightful weather and q programme
which gave promise OF enjoyable sport served
to attract an unusuallv large crowd TO Fleet
wood Park yesterday to witness the second days
racing of the spring trotting meeting OF the
Gentlemen's Driving Club OF Now York. AL
though the track had thoroughly recovered from
its three days drenching and was Icy and good,
It was not ut Its best from a speed standpoint.
Among the spectators were quite a number OF
running-horse people, who took advantage Of
the Off day at tho Brooklyn track to enjoy a
short session with the harness horses. The
events disposed Of included the 2:12 class pace.
the 2:19 class trot, a match race between the
geldings Russell 7. and Prince A.. driven by
their respective owners, mike" Leonard and
William Love, and the unfinished 100 class trot
carried over from Thursdays card, OF which
four heats had been trotted. AS every race was
won in straight heats the card was quickly con-
cluded. The East View Farms bay gelding
Valleau overtopped his three competitors and
had no difficulty in securing first money.
Dudley Olcott. who Is now in charge Of Charlie
Moser, was on his good behavior, and had no
reoling of the three miles in handy style and
good time. Agnes Morrelll. guided by KNAPP

on her back; Snyder, her driver. saw that there
was something wrong in time to drop out OF tho

OUR MUDDY STREETS.
Our Principle Streets are in DeplOrable
Condition-They Should BE Paved.

Our Principle Streets are in Deplorable
Condition-They Should BE Paved.
The business streets of our village
are in their accustomed disreputa-
Bile condition. Pike street, the main
business street, was a long broad
mud puddle few days ago and now
it is about as rough and hubby as
possible Men have been occupied
in shovelling the mud from the cross
walks so that they might be passable.
Ours is great system We hire
men to cart dirt upon the streets in
the spring then we have sprinklers
to make mud of the dust in the sum-
mer., In the autumn we employ
men to scrape the mud out of the
cutters and remove it and in the
winter and muddy season we have
the whole force of street laborers at
work vainly endeavoring to keep
the cross walks clean. Did you
ever hear of anything more ridicu-
lous 4?
We were in Middletown yesterday
and we could not help noticing how
clean and dry were the principle
business streets of that city.
1t costs considerable to pave
streets, but the benefit is permanent
and highly satisfactory.
The above clipped from a Port
Jervis paper is so apropos of our
system in Milford that it might well
have been written on our streets,
only, we never have men here en-
ployed by the Borough to clean off
the crossings. One set of council
men put down crossings and then
cover them up with gravel, which
is soon mud, and it is made or stay
ON the other side.

The department store has come

ever be furtile, for it is a natural
business development evolved in

A PORT JERWs MYSTERY.
May BE Murder or suicide-If the For
mer Then Robbery Was the Motive.

May BE Murder or suicide-If the For
ner Then Robbery Was the Motive.
Port Jervis, last Friday, was
aroused to find that murder had
been committed during the night
before just on her borders. Will
lam Speidle a young man who
formerly worked for Mr.. Laux near
Tri States had been over in Mata-
moras on Thursday arranging for
his wedding which was to have
taken place next day. He left the
house of his affianced early in the
evening and was afterwards seen
and talked to by several in Port Jer-
Wis. Evidently he started East on the
railroad track possibly to go to the
house of his former employer, and
the next morning at an early hour
his body was found by a tramp,
lying between the track and river.
The tramp gave an alarm and the
body was subsequently removed to
an undertaking establishment and
an autopsy performed. This dis
closed that Speidle had died of
strangulation, pocket handkerchief
being found stuffed down his throat
His pockets had also been turned
showing that the body had been
robbed. Speidle was an industri-
Gus, sober young man and probably
had in the opinion of his assailants
quite sum of money in his posses
sion. His watch and ring had been
left with his intended bride. The
tramp who discovered the body
claimed to be printer from Buck s
county this state, He was arrested
examined and subsequently dis
charged as there seemed to be no
evidence incriminatiug him and his
story of his whereabouts and man.
ner of finding the dead body was
coherent and apparently truthful,
The spot where the discovery was
made seems to be a tramp rendezvous
and the theory is that the murder
was committed by one or more of
these vagabonds.
The suicide theory is also advanced
from the fact that a bottle contain
| ing chlOrOfOrm. purchased the Dre-
vious evening, at Peirces pharmacy,
was found near Speidle's body, The
physicians however adhere to the
idea of strangulation, but the Coro-
ner who has empannelled a jury
thinks the case suicide. A tramp
has been arrested at Rutherford.
N. j., who says he knows all about
the matter and he has been commit
ted to await investigation.

therefore could not possibly lose his
way.
Our friends from Bushkill are go
ing to have a song patented, which
one of their party composed while
fishing ON the lake. The chorus of
the song, portrays in glowing col
ors, the advantages, and pleasures, of
fishing through the ice
Porter's Lake has now, what it
has long stood in need of, that is, a
good landlord, who knows how to
treat his guests, and who takes into
consideration the fact, that the
bracing air in that vicinity, has the
ability of stimulating a prodigous
appetite, even in one who is under
ordinary circumstances, a small
eater, therefore, we have no hesita..
tion whatever, in recommending the
place, not only as a good place to
fish, (and catch fish, but also as a
place where it is entirely unneces-
sary to have a magnifying glass in
order to find sufficient food to sus-
tain the wants of hungry fisher
man.
The accommodations are excel
lent, the entire house has been newly
furnished throughout, with good
roomy, comfortable beds and every
thing that could add to the comfort
and pleasure of those who go there
is to be found.
In closing we again repeat, that
Porter's Lake is the best place we
know of, for a few days recreation
to catch lots of fish, get plenty to
eat, and have a good time, what
more could anybody wish for
