FROM THE FIRST WARD.


toned. One was George w. Childs;
the other was Keely, of motor fame.
an. r. f." speaks our sentiments in
your issue of the 10Th inst. and we would
issue, and make the 4th of July one to
be remembered by the younger genera
ton. II few of our leading citizens
would get together and form a COM
mittee for the purpose, there is not the
least doubt but Lambertville would do
honor to the great and glorious day
in way to make us all feel proud of.
We are sorry indeed that our First
Ward Correspondent of THe BEACON
was so short-lived, as we expected
great things from the appearance of
his openingchapter. Ofcourse we knew
he could hardly keep up on ten dol
lars week. Perhaps the Democratic
Wage Worker" could offer better in
ducements, which we know would be
at least 10 to /, or better.
Some of the boys were inclined to
be little noisy around the corner of
ago, but after the police made an arrest,
things quoted down considerably.
There are two things all good citizens
should try to remember-First,n not to
interfere with an officer when he makes
an arrest. Second, to assist an officer
when called upon, as thelaw gives him
this power and all who fail to respond
when called upon are liable to punish
ment. Some people are under the i'm
preston that an officer has no right to
call for assistance from citizen, but
such is not the fact, and if such people
are ever called upon, it will save them
heap of trouble to be prompt in their
responding to his call.
We were pleased to note a communi-
cation from the Third Ward in the
Democratic Wage Worker, praising
our First Ward fire company Now
we are glad to know that others besides
the First Ward Correspondent of The
Record notice the manly appearance
of this company when occasion calls
them to duty and, las we have hereto
fore mentioned) you will always find
them up-to-date upon all occasions,
and ever true to their motto: ITO
Assist the Suffering and Protect the
Weak.
There has been an extra big run of
catfish and some big catches have been
made. John Dietz and son caught
over five hundred at one sitting recent
ly, and others report extraordinary
catches down at the falls. We must
acknowledge this looks rather " fishy,
nevertheless, 1t is fact.
The Gurb-Stone Club at their special
meeting unanimously voted to cele
brate the 4th of July in an appropriate
way. Mr. Lucas has rendered them
his beautiful grove, which will be trim
med up in gala appearance for the
occasion. Two of our First Ward
councilmen are looked to deliver short
addresses. Mr.. Trauger will read that
beautiful poem, called Dennis, I'm
onto your curves" There will be

| George G. Van Camp will take full
charge of the artillery, which will line
up on the east side of Swans Creek,
right resting on Main street. The
artillery will consist of six 6-pounders,
| all brass. The same will be fired
simultaneously from battery connect
ed from the Generals residence on
Brunswick Avenue. The General is an
| old veteran and the selection was right
III his line, rs your correspondent and
the General have worked the guns upon
| occasions that required skill and nerve.
This being only part of the programme,
hope to give more particulars III next
week 3 issue of The RECORD Werather
expect councilman Sly will be chosen
master of ceremonies.
There is IL law against selling whiskey
to Indians. This il II good law, only
it does not reach for enough, as there
are others just rs bad under the in
fluenee of liquor as the Indian.
The Lambertville Rubber Co. keeps
two heavy draught teams busy now

THE EVE OF HER WEDDING.
Hush let me hide my happiness
little while let grief hold sway,
| And sweetness blend with bitterness,
Before give myself away.
Soon, soon, must pass forevermore
| The scenes of old New paths, L choose;
| q, let me count my treasure DER,
| That, winning loves delights, lose.
This little hour give to grief,
With tender thoughts my eyes are wet,
almost seem to find relief
In "reminiscences and regret.
One little hour my woman's eyes
With waneing childhood's dews are dim,
Away love calls--l must arise
And hasten forth and follow him.
A pretty wedding took place on We'd
nesday morning last at st. Johns
Catholic Church. The contracting
parties were Miss Nellie Flood and
Mr.. BARLEY Cruise. The ceremonies
took place before large audience.
Some very handsome presents were
received by the bride and groom. In
the evening quite large assembly of
