THE MATE WAS ABUSIVE.
But His Schooner Was Moved by the
Harbor Master.

The three masted schooner Harry Messel
was discharging coal on the westerly side
of Union wharf Monday. Then the tug
Cornelia steamed around into the dock
towing the coal barge Preston with "a
cargo for ID. S. Warren & Co. There was
not water enough in the dock for the
Preston to pass the schooner and reach
her berth SO, as is customary in such
cases, the Messer was requested to pull
tback far enough to allow passage for
the barge. This the mate declined to do.
and Harbor Master Goud was notified.
Captain Goud requested the mate of the
Messer to move. The mate at once be-
came terrible abusive and said that Capt.
Cloud could not move him. Captain Goud
produced copy of the rules governing
such matters and offered to read them
The mate flew into violent rage and cut
a hawser that had been run out from the
lCornelia to his vessel. He abused every
body within range and offered to iniure
the first man that set foot aboard his
craft.
Captain Goud informed the mate that
the Messer was to be moved. He selected
four men from the crowd to assist him
and set about performing his duty. The
mate kept running below and making
abusive talk, but Captain Goud moved
the schooner, and the Preston proceeded
to her berth.
Yesterday morning Captain Goud made
out his bill for himself and the four men
who had assisted him in moving the
schooner, and presented it to Captain
Adams Of the Messer. Captain Adams
paid the bill without question. He was
away from the ship when the scene oc-
CURED and said that if he had been there
he of course, would have moved his ship
at once.

DELOURY rs A GAY ONE.
The ex-Bridgeton Railway Manager too
Much Married.


A whole lot of people in this city would
very much enjoy reading a recent issue
OF the Hartford, Conn.,, Herald In
the department allotted to printing the
Meridian news there are three columns of
spicy stuff, with John Deloury as the
central figure.
Pretty much everybody will recall that
when the South Jersey Traction Company
started its lines here in 1893. the Superin-
tendent was redfaced fellow with mutt
ton chop whiskers, streaked with gray,
and he signed his name in various places
as John Deloury. He was hot stuff, had
lots of nerve, was fair railroad man, and
a pronounced success as ladies' adj
mirer. When he wasn't looking after
the business of the railway he was usually
posing in front Of the Hotel Cumberland,
where he endeavored to impress the
ladies with the fact that he was nice.
When Deloury forsook Bridgeton and
left the Traction Company to get along
as best it could, he went to Meriden,
Conn, and now he is manager of the
Hartford Street Railway.
The matter published in the three
columns of the Hartford Herald is a
story of life Of deception and wick ed
ness, that, if true, should land Deloury
in prison, but he may escape this. 1t
seems that in 1891 he married young
woman named Ella Dale, of Watertown,
| N. Y. She is about twenty-six years old.
Two years ago she learned the horrible
truth that she was a wife in name only,
and that Deloury was married already,
and was the father of five children. The
broken hearted woman left the railway
man and went to her home. Since then
the original Mrs. Deloury has died.
| A short time ago, in Meriden, Deloury
married for the third time, taking a
young girl named Katie Lally, and an
other child has come into the world as a
result of the union.
| The railroad man may escape the law.
The situation is in this wise:
IF Deloury married No. 2 while No. !
was alive, No. 2 is not legal wife. Kit
tie Lally, the present Mrs. Deloury, and
designated as No. 8. is lawfully welded,
and her child is legitimate. No. 2, Ella
Dale never had any children but No. l is
said to have been the mother of five chill.
dren, and they are all legitimate of the
assistant superintendent of the street
railway company.

WILL BE A MEET.
Ihe Bridgeton Bicycle Track Association
to Give an Elaborate Race Meet
Next Month.


The new track at the Park will be in
augurated this season after all. Since
the Bridgeton Bicycle Track Association
decided to have the track property fin
1shed the work has been pushed rapidly
forward, and the course will be in splen-
did shape in another week. When en-
tirely completed there will be no better
track in the state. 1t is third of mile,
and competent riders declare it to be
laid out perfectly.
That the track was not sooner COM
pleted is disappointing to the Associa-
ton, but it is resolved to give a meet
there this fall, Notwithstanding it is bit
late, and every effort will be made to
attract the fastest riders in the business.
The date has been fixed for the after
noon of October I'd, Saturday, and there
can be no douSt but that the crowds will
pack the grounds. Especially popular
will the track be, owing to the accessa-
bility by trolley cars, and the fact that
the grand stand is directly on line with
the track.
There will be five events, including
two open and two handicap races, and
the prizes will be diamonds, something
all riders delight to contest for.
The entrance fee will be fifty cents,
while the entries must close September
25th. Secretary Mcpherson is working
hard to get riders interested, and the as
sociation is reasonably certain of having
such men as Austin, Godfrey and others.
The events and prizes are as follows:
| Mile Novice-1st prize, diamond scarf
