Some time ago stranger went to Bur-
lington and induced lot of merchants to
join a collecting agency of Chicago. The
merchants each gave promissory note
for S25 and the stranger agreed to collect
certain amount of bad bills, with interest.
He did not collect cent, the merchants
say, but returned to Chicago. Now word
comes from Chicago money lender that
he wants the money due on the notes
he having purchased the latter. Some of
the merchants have paid but others claim
they have been defrauded and have en-
gagged counsel to fight the case.
H. G. Spanton, a young man of East
Orange, who was spending the summer
at the hotel at Berkeley Arms, was
drowned in the surf Sunday afternoon.
He went out bathing beyond the lifelines,
became exhausted and could not return.
He called for help and two other bathers
went to his aid, but the sea was rough
and they had difficult task. Both be-
came exhausted before they could reach
the drowning man, and had to be assisted
by others, being brought ashore almost
unconscious. Spanton's body has not
been recovered.

Our railroads are in much better ply
steal condition than they were ten years
ago, and this fact accounts in great
measure for the decreased casualties
to passengers, but it is still fearfully
large. We brag of the superiority of
our railroad service to that of Europe,
but there is one thing in which the Eu-
ropean railroads surpass ours very far
the better protection of their passen-
gers. They carry great many more
passengers and kill and injure a great
many less.
The ordinary common miI1et, as well
as Hungarian grass, can be used for
pasturing, as it grows after being
moved off or grazed. The giant Ger
man millet gives but one cutting. Late
in summer, after the grass has given
out from lack of rain, such quick grow
ing crops as Hungarian grass will pro
vide large supply of green food until
frost, but in such cases a crop for hay
must not be expected. When intended
for pasture the Hungarian grass can be
used at any stage of growth, as it is not
expected to mature.

Explosion at Freehold.

An explosion in the centre of the
town of Freehold on Monday even
ing startled every one for a mile in
all directions and injured two men.
1t occurred at the drinking fountain,
which was wrecked.
Persons living in the neighborhood
noticed a smell of gas on Sunday
but all efforts to locate the trouble
failed On Monday the odor was
pronounced, but despite the fact that
taps were made in the streets, the
location of the leak in the mains was
not determined.
On Monday evening Frank Sulli-
van was passing the fountain. This
was handsome structure OF granite
and bronze, which recently was pur-
chased by the joint efforts Of the
Board of Trade and the Kings
Daughters. 1t had Just been COM
pleted and had not yet been commit
ted to the care Of the town. Man
ming Phillips was standing close to
the fountain as Sullivan approached.
Sullivan wanted to light a match,
and as breeze was blowing stopped
in the lee of the fountain to light his
cigar. He estruck the match and the
next moment there was a detonation
that shocked the surrounding build
ings. The fountain was wrecked.
Thebig granite basestone was broken,
and one piece was hurled several feet.
The bronze and iron work was torn
and twisted,
Phillips was hurled twenty feetand
one of his legs broken. Sullivan
was knocked down and rolled along
the ground, but escaped serious in
jury.
It's supposed that in excavating
for the fountain or when connecting
the water pipes with it the workmen
broke gas pipe. The explosion
caused great excitement in town.

May Meet in February.
The Chicago Record saws

Inc NHlCdSe NSCO1u say
"The Democratic National Com
nittee IS considering the advisability
of holding the Democratic National
Convention two or three months
earlier than in former years. Word
came to Chicago o-day that meet
ing of the committee is to be held in
October or November, after Senator
tones comes home from Europe, to
discuss the question.
''It is not considered improbable
that the convention will be called to
meet in February. Some of the
committee and Democratic leaders
are in favor of holding the conven-
ton to nominate a national ticket as
early as February. Others favor hold
ing the convention in May or June.
The advocates of February
convention contend that it will be
necessary to place the national ticket
in the field and adopt a platform in
February or March, in order to per
feet organization and bring together
the fighting factions in the party.
They declare it will be possible to re-
unite the party and bring solid or
ganization to the polls in November
if the convention is held in February

he'early convention movement de-
clare the Philippine question will be
11nsett1ed at that fine They saw if
will be physically impossible for the
administration to end the war on the
Island of Luzon by February and
therefore no one will be able to pre-
dict what the situation will be in
May or June.
