WAS NOT HELD UP.

William Dragoo, who reported a
story Of having been robbed on Sept
6 last, was arrested Monday night,
charged with embezzlement. The
complainant is Q. H. Day, the Brook
side miller, by whom Dragoo was
employed as driver. On the day of
the alleged robbery the driver had
made collections amounting to $75.
He told story of having been held
up at the foot of Fosters Hill by two
men who relieved him of the funds he
carried. Mr.. Day suspected Dragoo
of having appropriated the money to
his own use and, obtaininga warrant
from Justice Stilwell, caused his ar
rest In Jail Dragoo confessed to
taking the money himself and told
where part of it could be found.

FEAR BRIDGE MAY BE RUINED.

Large tracts of land have been pur-
chased for the Jersey City reservoir
to be built just outside of Boonton.
The tracts were purchased from
jeremiah Banta and John V. Banta
and, it is said, the dam will be built
on this property. Some persons fear
that the height of the dam will des-
troy the large county bridge at the
foot of Washington street, Boonton
over the Rockaway river. The bridge
is 475 feet long and 60 feet above the
river. 1t is constructed of iron and
cost the county about $32, 900.

A SOLDIERS TALE.

Diversions on the Battlefield When the
Fight Was Raging.
During the first engagement while
the company was firing at will into
the woods ahead, a forlorn water buff
falo, the Philippine beast of burden,
maandere'd into the rice field directly
Kin front OF the line. The writer imme-
diately directed his fire toward the buff
falO, with no apparent result. After
ward, during lull in the firing, we
ehamefully confessed to having wasted
bur strength in this ignoble manner,
and were surprised to learn that every
man had done likewise. At all events,
the beast made good its escape, for 1t
patiently plodded ahead until the tim
Der swallowed it up. During the
charge at Caloocan, frenzied pig OF
diminutive size dashed from beneath
q bamboo hut and apparently Judging
that all the commotion was for his
1 benefit, thought best to retire. AS the
pig darted past the writet we gently
assisted with a shove from the butt of
our gun and thought no more of it for
some time Afterward, upon glancing
10 the rear we saw four or five soldiers
an hot pursuit of the same poor little
swine. 1t is laughable, even in times
of peace to watch another man chase
q hog, but when men forSake their
places, forget the roar of conflict, the
hum of bullets, the shouts of the vlctors
and the walls of the wounded, to Crap
pie with an eight-pound shoat, the
scene becomes 1udicrous in the extreme.
We took the trouble to learn that the
pig got away. At Caloocan the rebels
had mounted two monstrous muzzle-
loading guns captured in former times
from the Spanish. They attempted to
fire one of these, with dreadful results.
THE Americans collected the remains
OF twenty rebels killed by the explo-
sion Of the gun. The insurgents had
not the courage to fire the remaining
1 cannon, which was loaded and primed
when Caloocan was captured. The
natives had loaded the gun with COM
plete curiosity shop. The cannon was
filled with scissors, knives, coal, pieces
\ of brick, nails, bolts, Thermometer,
q horse SHOE a car link, a piece OF
rubber hose, and, to crown it all,
large quantity of hoop iron had been
driven into the muzZle so tightly that
1t was necessary to file it before the
charge could be withdrawn. A double
dose of powder was found, and also
quantity of dynamite. No wonder the
other cannon exploded.

Early Industries of East Canaan.
 IOnnfinnad |

The next industry on the stream be low the grist mill and Adam furnace was the Forbes forge and anchor works. IL was located inst above the bridge that crosses the river near the house of the late Doctor George Adam. It was built by Samuel Forbes and Ethan Allen in 1776 or later in 1780.
 In 1924 Roswell Day moved his family from Mt. Riga to Forge Alley (now East Canssn) and commenced work in the Forbes forge, then owned and opera ted by Samuel Adam The principal business was making anchors. Mir Day was skilled workman and they made other forgiogs of various descriptions. The business was prosperous for long time.
 In 1888 Mir Day lett Mir Adam and moved to East Canaan to the Burt forge and entered into business with O. Hunt ington, one ofthe old citizens of Canaan who commenced business life in the Forbes forge with Mir Day. After Mir Day left Mir Adam two brothers by the name of Mix tLyman and Issac) came from Fort Ann, N. Y. and moved their families to East Canaan and went into Mr Adams employ in the works. James Warner also worked there for short time. Alison Marvin, father of Mrs s. M. Humphrey, also worked in the forge and made blooms.
 The anchor business declined and later the forge went out of business; and the last time that I passed there it was difficult to recognize the site where it stood.
 Mir Samuel Adam was & model em ployer and his relations with his em- ployees were ever very pleasant. Ho was kind and courteous to ali and was respected by the entire community, es- pecially by his employees.
 The closing of the Forbes forge took one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in dustries on the lsckberry river.
 My next letter will be of the last in. dustry on the stream below the Forbes forge.

Pine Grove Camp Meeting. !.

The closing services of the series of meetings were held on Monday after noon of this week, and the camp meet ing of 1899 goes on record as very in teresting and impressive one. Never has there been more attentive audiences nor better order observed, and the ser mons wsre remarkably fine productions. The attendance has averaged larger than in recent years. The singing in charge of Prof Col Card of Millerton has been an attractive festure and has been greatly enjoyed by all.
 The program of the meetings had been announced in the NEWS but some of the preachers were unable to be pres ent and tho following changes were made: On Wednesday evening, Aug. 23 the Rev J. H. Michel, of Philmont. N. Y.. preached in place of the Rev s. E White of Rhinebeck. N. Y. On Thursday evening the Rev T. H. E. Richards, of Stockbridge, Mass, was substituted; for the Rev Wm. F. Al. brecht of Johnsville, N. Y. On Sunday afternoon the Rev w. A. King. pastor of the Baptist church of Millerton, N. r., preached in place of the Rev Saul O. Curtice. of New York city; and op Sunday evening the Rev J. S. Ladd of East Chatham, N. r.. was substituted for the Rev J. H Michel of Philmont, NJ
 A very large audience assembled Sunday morning to hear the Rev Philip Gsrmond, D.. D.. presiding elder of the Kingston district. Mir Germond was statioued at Ashley Falls and Canaan in 1854; at North East in 1865 -'67; at Sheffield in 1876-77 and many of his former psrishoners in these charges as- sembled last Sunday to hear him again. He did not attempt display of oratory nor 8 sermon remarkable for flights of eloquence or depth of emotion but he did preach an impressive and convinc- ing sermon from clause of the 30th verse of the 18th Psalm. "The word of tue Lord is tried.' Dr Germonds s theme was Some of the tests to which the word of the Lord (the bible) has been subject" He compared the bible with other books that have been written and showed how other books-even the most interesting ones-were soon laid aside and forgotten. He cited many tests to which the bible had been sub- jected-even the tests of sciencs-and he quoted the testimony of many emil nent scientists who were christians.
