The Trenton Fair.

In a few weeks more the Trenton fair
will open, and the management guaran-
tees that its eleventh annual exhibition
will be one that cannot fail to be attrac
tive to exhibitors and satisfactory TO pa
irons. 1t will open September 26 and
has come to be looked upon all over the
country as the greatest carnival in the
eastern portion of the United States
The first day, Monday, September s6,
will be devoted to bicycle races. This
has been the order during the past two
years, and as a result Monday has come
to be one of the big days of the fair.
Nearly ten thousand people gathered at
the handsome grounds on Monday of last
year to witness the racing events. The
races this year will, if possible, surpass
those of last year. All the big riders are
scheduled to be there and over 81, 600 will
be given in prizes on that day alone The
management is trying to arrange mid
die distance 25 mile match race between
two of the best riders, and if they sue
coed in pulling off such a race it will be
an immense drawing card A very eab-
crate souvenir is being arranged for the
bicycle day.
Marion Mills, the guideless wonder,
will be seen ON the track again every day
this year This wonderful mare, which
PAGES mile without rider or dryer,
created a very favorable impression last
year, when she made the mile in g TO-
There will be no end of other attrac-
tions during the week, but the program
has not yet been completed. The horse
racing will, of course continue to be one
of the big attractions. Speed events will
be held every day of the fair after Mon
day.
Already there are more applications for
space for exhibits than it will be possible
to accommodate.
For the best composition on Cubs"
exhibited by pupil of any of the pub
lie or parochial schools of Mercer Mid
dlesex, Burlington, Monmouth, Hunter
don and Somerset counties in this state
and Bucks county, Pennsylvania, except
the state schools and high schools, choice
of Charles Carleton Cotfins historical
writings will be given.
A reporter visited the fair grounds last
week and found Secretary John Guild
Muirheid busily engaged with the adver-
Using matter A number of assistants
were at work preparing the posters and
other advertising specialties for shipment
to various sections of this state and neigh
| boring Pennsylvania towns.
| Mr.. Muirheid informed the reporter that
in advertising alone the fair association
each year spends more than $1,000. The
forms of advertising are numerous This
year 10000 yard sticks, 5000 japanese
fans, 800 thermometers and hundreds of
paper weights, horse covers and many
other specialties will be distributed
The posters and cards are very attrac-
tive this year, and are gotten up in a very
substantial manner Mr. Muirheid has
already arranged to hang advertising
cards in $40 railroad stations.

public auction on Saturday September

We live in country of which the prin.
cipal scourge is stomach trouble
1t is more wide spread than any other
disease, and, very nearly, more dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dangerous is
that it is so little understood
If it were better understood, it would
be more feared, more easily cured, less
universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured take
Shaker Digestive Cordial because it goes
to the root of the trouble as no other med
icine does The pure, harmless, curative
herbs and plants, of which it is composed,
are what render it so certain and, at the
same time, so gentle cure
1t helps and strengthens the stomach,
purities and tones up the system.

Airing Grievances I'm Court.

Charles Cable, railroad engineer, liv-
ing on Bispham street, sought protection
for his son, Harry j. Cable on Saturday
morning, by making charge of ill-treat-
ment, abuse and threats against Leon
Chafey, Leon Burroughs, Richard E..
Lewis, Joseph and William Krusen, Nor
man Gaskill, Albert Pine and George
johnson. Micaiah E. Matlack represent
ed the plaintiff. Richard E. Lewis was
the only boy having counsel, he being
represented by Charles Evan Merritt.
The young man waived hearing and
gave bail in the sum of 800 for his APP
pearance at court.
As George Johnson was apparently
only an onlooker, not having participated
in the alleged assault, he was discharged
Harry Cable, who is 10 years old, testi-
fled that on July % and August he was
assaulted by the defendants He said that
while returning home from grocery store
on Tuesday afternoon Leon Chafey threw
stones at him while he was on his bicycle
Brick bats were thrown in the way of his
machine, and some of the boys threatened
to injure his face He was knocked off
his wheel and fell against the fence by
stones thrown by Lewis He charged
Burroughs, Lewis and Gaskill with throw
ing bats at his wheel, while others hit him
with stones While fishing near the pow
er house these boys threw stones at him
and broke his rod. Lewis and Herbert
Aaronson, said the witness, came up and
hit him. The Krusen boys threatened to
kill a dog owned by Harry, and the
next day the canine was found dead in
the yard. Plaintiff said he was conduct
ing himself peacefully, and that he gave
his assailants no provocation whatever
To all of these alleged assaults he did
not strike back
Mr.. Merritt said he thought johnson
should tell what he knew, and after being
sworn he said he saw some of the boys
rolling bats in the way of Cables wheel
Chafey threw a ball at the wheel but did
not hit it. The crowd ran after Harry
but he heard no threats made againt him
When others were called upon to testi-
fly, Mrs. Pine, who was present, said that
only few days ago Cable had strung her
son up on an apple tree with rope around
his neck, saying that he was going to hang
him. In proof of this statement the
marks about the young mans neck were
shown
Justice Clevenger disposed of the case
by placing the boys in charge of their
parents and warning them not to commit
repetition of the offences charged against
them.
There is bitter feeling existing against
Mr.. Cable on Bispham street owing to
domestic troubles and lately the people
in that neighborhood have criticised him
considerably.
Mr.. Cable, who was member of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
was expelled from that order ON testimony
given by his wife and her sister

member of the New Jersey Methodist
Episcopal Conference, died at his home in
Camden, yesterday morning. Dr. Street
was ninety years old and his death
was due to advanced old age. His death
was expected year ago, but he rallied
and again enjoyed comparative good
health. His death yesterday, although in
a measure expected, was a surprise to the
community, his condition not seemingly
being serious. Sunday night he grew
weak and continued sinking until death
stepped in and claimed the reverend gen
tleman for its own. His wife and children
were at the bedside when the spirit OF
Methodisms grand old man passed into
the well earned rest
Mr.. Street, who was beloved by all who
position, was not only the oldest Metho
dist minister in this state, but he is also
believed to have been the oldest minister
in point of ministerial service in the
United States
Mr.. Street had several churches in this
county as follows; 1886 Z, Tuckertoni
