LOSS By STORM.


The storm on Saturday afternoon was
! disastrous to farmers and cranberry
/ growers in certain sections, particularly
in the vicinity of Medford and Marlton.
The most damage was done to cranberries.
About all the large crops in the vicinity
of Medford have been ruined.
The rain was accompanied by hail stones
of large size Above Medford the ground
was covered with hail from four to ten
inches in depth. This seems almost in
credible, but it is vouched for by some
of the most reliable residents of Medford
township.
pletely stripped from the vines. The
berries have the appearance of being frost
bitten, besides being badly bruised.
The crops in the section covered by the
hail storm are considered a-total loss.
Orders for cranberry tickets and pickers
have been cancelled by many of the bog
owners
Below is partial list of the crops that
are considered lost Edward Braddock,
Howard Braddock, Taunton, Israel Brad
docks Company bog, West Jersey,
Charles A. Haines, and both of Braddock
& Thomas boys. A number of smaller
tracts were also ruined.
Hinchman's and Alphonso Haines' are
nearly total loss.
The area covered by the hail extended
from the boys of Howell & Jones to Chris
tophers. Those escaped the fury Of the
storm.
Growing crops on farms in the district
devastated were almost ruined, particular
ly corn. Glover looks as if heavy steam
roller had passed over it. Many trees
were either blown over or badly broken and
fences damaged. From a financial stand
point the storm was probably the worst
that ever visited this county.

prestige. There is no question but that it
had knotty problem to solve yesterday,
but its friends looked for better results
than were achieved. Superior stick work
by the Mount Holly boys and better work
by their outfelders especially in centre,
tell the secret of their big victory. Levins
pitched good game, but the visitors had
a cunning way of connecting with his
curves at critical junctures and of con-
stantly watching the main chance that
had most telling effect on the runs
column of the score book. Gunson and
Smith Cat fir st base) did splendid work
and Casey also accepted all chances, but
the fates were against them and but for
the hits by Gray and Shaw in the ninth,
brin ging in two runs, Roxborough would
have had basketful of goose-eggs in
stead of a score of 9-2, which was quite
bad enough"
Mount Holly visited Roxborough, Pa,
on Wednesday, and defeated the club
there by the score of 8 to 2. The Jersey
men played fast, Snappy game, easily
distancing their opponents both at bat and
in the field. 1t was an exhilarating sight
to the handful of rooters accompanying
the Mount Holly club to see the fine ex-
hibition of ball put up by the team.
Allen, Bristol's pitcher, occupied tn e
box for the County Leaguers, and put up
good, steady game. His support was
excellent, the team making no errors.
Roxborough, on the contrary, made six
errors, most of which proved costly.
Owing to Dunn's absence at the sea
shore, Barckley, of Burlington, pl aged in
left field. Two of his and one of King
don's catches were of the gilt-edge variety.
Fischman, Hammer, Logan and Casey did
good work on the infeld.
Perkins, Logan, Gunson and Gray were
the star hitters. Perkins made home
run and Dagger, in both cases the
ball going over the fence.

Randall has not gone to Cuba. Flor
ence ascertained that on Saturday.
Mount Holly will play Manayunk on
the Wissahickon grounds tomorrow
wednesday, afternoon.
Randall does not leave for Cuba until
October 1st The team to which he be-
longs will spend month in Florida before
going to Cuba.
Considerable fault was found with
Flint's umpiring at Burlington on Satur-
day. Both sides kicked on some of his
decisions
All the players were on hand for the
Bordentown-M Mount Holly game on Satur-
day, but the heavy shower that came up
suddenly during the afternoon made play
ing impossible.
The score keepers are getting very de-
relict in sending the results of the games
to the secretary of the League. Unless
all the scores are received, no averages
can be published.
The Bordentown Register, commenting
on the game between Mount Holly and
Bristol, says: Keen observers predict a
downfall for the Holly hawkers at the next
meet with the knights from Bristol" That
may be. There is possibility that Bris
tol will have stronger team next year
The meetings for this year are over.
Bristol went to Riverside on Saturday
and played one inning when the rain start
ed. Instead of waiting to see if the game
could be continued, Bristol Immediately
| left the ground and went home, against
the protest of Riverside. When the rair
had ceased, the umpire directed play to
continue and then awarded the game tc
Riverside to O.
Arrangements have been made for Bor
dentown and Mount Holly to play two
games on the Burlington grounds mex
Saturday. The game scheduled for that
day was to have been played at Borden
town, but it was decided to play the gam'
postponed from last Saturday and thu
regular game together. Play will begin
at $50. Persons going from Mount Holl.
will take the 1.15 trolley.

BASE BALL.

Only two games of the County League
series were played on Saturday, rain in
terfering with the other two. White Hill
defeated Palmyra by close score, and
Burlington and Florence played tie
game of ten innings. Although Burling-
ton has now played one game more than
Mount Holly the number of games won
and lost by each team remains the same
and the tie for first place continues.

Bristol at Riverside
BURLINGTON, FLORENCE 3.
Burlington and Florence played ten
inning tie game on the formers ground.
1t was exciting from start to finish. Both
pitchers did excellent work. Egner was
disposed to be wild, caused .possibly by
the ball being wet. He gave eight bases
on balls, but struck out fourteen of Bur
lington's batters.
Randall was steadier and in better form
than usual.
Kelley failed to appear, so Dobbins was
placed on second, Rogers on first, and
Cort Atkinson in right field Bastian an
old league player, covered third and did
good work.
Florence had Bratton, of Trenton Y. M.
G. A., on second; Egner, of the same club,
in the pitchers box A new hand named
Hunter, also from Trenton, played behind
the bat
Burlington's stealing of bases was a
feature of the game. Ellis made fine
stop of hard hit ball at third base.

a close game. Cottrell's pitching, except
for his wildness, was effective. He gave
eight passes, on which many of the visi-

would have been one-sided.

Governor Voorhees, on Tuesday issued an
order disbanding the Montclair and New
ton companies of the National Guard,
which were attached to the Second Regi-
ment. These companies were dismissed
on the recommendation of Colonel Gill

by them at the recent State encampment.
The place of one of the companies will
be taken by company now being organ
lied at Princeton. Plainfield and Orange
are both applicants for the privilege of
furnishing the second company.

The meeting of the township COMMITTEES

approval of the $4,000 bond of Collecto
wilkinson, William Stewart, one of tn
committeeman, struck Augustus Schadler
the clerk, heavy blow on the eye, whic
the latter promptly returned by striking
his assailant a blow on the face. Thel
they went at it rough and tumble, but tn
enraged men were parted by mutus
friends. The trouble grew out out OF tn
fact that Committeeman Stewart ha
signed his name in the wrong place on tn
collectors bond, and the clerk erased i
asking Mr.. Stewart to resign it in th
right place. There has long been a spir
of i'll feeling between the men, and tn
matter promises to reach the courts befo'

OUR FINEST AT PRINCETON.
Inspector Archibo1d's Force Came
in For Much Praise.

Inspector Archibold, Sergeants Kelly of
Police Headquarters, Craig of the First
precinct Harrigan of the Fourth and
Cannon of the Sixth, and fifty patrolmen
went to Princeton Saturday at the request
of George Murry. general treasurer of the
princeton University Athletic Association,
to keep order at the Yale-Princeton foot
ball game. 1t is rarely that police inter-
ference is necessary at such events even
though the attendance surpasses 1900
people.
The services of the bluecoats were not
called into play. This may be due partly
to the very impressive appearance the
force made. Although the officers were
not picked men they deported themselves
in a manner that commanded the respect
of all. They were all strong, big men of
experience in the business and they show
ed rare Judgment in the handling of the
crowd. There was no confusion and the
managers of the event were most COM
plimentary in their praise of this city 3
guardians of the peace.
Inspector Archibold was in command
and he praised the work of his men in
the highest terms.

ALL FOR ECONOMY.
Collector Davis Says the
Board Must Live Up to
Ante Election
Pledges.

Politicians are still on the anxious stool
about the appointments by the new Board
of Freeholders, and ali the more so be-
cause Mr.. Robert Davis has refrained
from expressing any opinion as to changes
in the offices.
1t is well known that Mr.. Davis is de-
termined to hare an economical adminis-
tration in the county. Indeed, he has re-
peatedly said so in these columns.
THE Freeholders,'' he observed just af-
ter election. must see to it that not a
penny is unnecessarily spent Entrusted
with large responsibilities the incoming
Board should look strictly after their ex-
penditures. People are tired of the ex-
travagance of the Board and having
pledged before the last election that the
Democratic party would institute reform
in that branch of the county government
these pledges will be strictly kept, if L
personally can see them through. Any
changes made in the several departments
will be made with that end of economy
in view"
Mr.. Davis, since his return from a
weeks vacation, has been literally
swamped with applicants for position;
new men wanting the places of others
and men in office desirous of maintain
ing their present positions. Somebody
naturally will be disappointed.
1t is understood that the new BoarS
will caucus some night this week in the
rooms of the Robert Davis Association.
A member-elect had this to say today:
'I cannot say who will be made Di-
rector of the new Board Many good
names have been selected. James Billing
ton, Michael B. Holmes and Louis Fincke,
who have figured perhaps more promi-
nently than other of their colleagues, are
all good men and would make excellent
directors. 1t will not be settled until the
caucus meets. AS to changes, I can say
nothing. I have made no promises and
mean to abide by the majority"

ONE ON M'GiLL.
President of the Police Board Has
His Horse and Rio Stolen.

DR.. John D. McGill. President of the
Board of Police Commissioners, made a
professional call yesterday and hitched
his horse and carriage in front of house
on York street. When he finished his visit
he could not find his horse and carriage.
1t was gone and a half hours search fail
ed to bring it to light. DR.. McGill notified
the police and at the roll call last evening
as the men were going on post every
policeman was told to look out for the rig.
Patrolman Dennis Sullivan of the First
precinct saw the horse. last night, being
led by young man down Montgomery
street. He placed the youth under arrest
and brought the rig to the station. The
Doctor was notified and he took the rig
away.
The prisoner gave his name as George
Besant, nineteen years old, of No. $50
Grand street. Besant said he found the
horse wandering about the streets and he
was taking it to the station when he
was arrested. When arraigned before Po-
lice Justice Hoos this morning Besant
was discharged.

ENTERTAINED THE INSANE.
Snake Hill Asylum Visited by the
BROOKLYN Dram alto Society,

Those of the unfortunate inmates of the
Snake Hill Lunatic Asylum whom the
superintendent, DR.. George w. King,
thought could appreciate the treat, at
tended a concert given by the Brooklyn
Dramatic Society at the asylum last night.
The affair had been arranged by the Rev.
Father Plus O'Connor, the Roman Catho-
lie chaplain of the county institutions, and
the pleased faces of the unfortunate audi
tors indicated an appreciation that must
have been most gratifying to the good
priest.
All the performers were professionals
and the entertainment was first class in
every respect A number of the popular
biograph pictures were presented, and one
in which the Black Diamond Express is
seen approaching, seemingly headed di-
rectly for the audience, caused some little
CONSERVATION among the weak-minded.
DR.. Kings assurance quieted them and
the remainder of the pictures were much
enjoyed.
When the picture of the Robert Davis
Association marching down Newark ave-
nue., on the occasion of its recent outing,
was thrown on the screen one of the un-
fortunates recognized the picture of the
superintendent among the paraders and
shouted out welcoming salute to Dr.
King.
The singing was especially enjoyed and
many of the insane with good voices
Joined in the choruses of the old-time
songs sung by the Empire City Quartette.
In all there were twenty-six performers.
The programme presented was as fol-
lows:-Overture, Greitners orchestra; Miss
Clara McTague, vocalist; John She'll,
elocutionist; John Casey, 1.-THE Man from
Brooklyn; Empire City Quartette,
Messrs. McKenna, Ford, Loud and Can
non; Charles Gallagher, Photographic
limitations; w. McKenna, rag-time pianist;
phonograph selections, by Nat McHorney;
Ford and Lambert, illustrated songs;
Frank Turner, monologuist; Jere O'Leary,
Irish comedian; Cannon and Loud, vocal
due.
At the conclusion of the entertainment
number of the auditors requested that
the superintendent express their thanks
to their kind hearted entertainers, and
DR.. King did 80 in a few well chosen
words
The entertainment was given on Sunday
night on account of the inability of the
performers, many of whom are employed
at different theatres, to appear on any
other evening.

UNSANITARY PLUMBING.
Prisoners Subjected to Ill
ness Breeding Ap-
plianoes.

The announcement in Saturdays
News of the intention of the Septem-
Der Term Grand Jury to call the atten-
tion of the Board of Freeholders to the
unsanitary and dangerous condition of
some of the county institutions, has serv-
ed to call public attention to the fact
that Hudson's antiquated jail, almshouse
and penitentiary, from sanitary point
of view, are utterly untitled for the pur-
poses for which they are used. The
plumbing of the three institutions named
is of the most premitive description, and
that an epidemic of disease has not bro
ken out among the countys criminals or
the unfortunate paupers before this, is
nothing short of miraculous.
The sanitary arrangements of the peni-
tentiary are perhaps the worst, although
it would be difficult to conceive fouler
place than the small addition to the Aims
house, in which the closets for the in
mates of the institution are located.
The old penitentiary building is without
closets for the use of the prisoners, and
uncovered iron buckets, which are emptied
into the Hackensack River each morning
are kept in each cell. The new wing, in
which women prisoners are confined, and
which was erected less than a dozen
years ago, has uncovered old fashioned
Hooper closets in each cell. These are
within eighteen inches of the head of
prisoner asleep ON his cot, and much of
the sickness at the penitentiary can be
traced to these foul smelling unsanitary
breeders of disease.
About eight years ago nearly 5000 was
expended for plumbing work in the coun-
ty jail, but today that institution is in
most unsanitary condition. The closets are
situated in large bath rooms at the south
ern end of each of the corridors. AS at the
penitentiary an uncovered bucket is kept
in each cell at night. AS a result of this
system the smell permeating the corridors
each morning is most disgusting and GER
tainly menace to the health of the pris-
oners.
There can be no such thing as lettering
the sanitary condition of either of the
three institutions referred to except by
clearing out all the ,antiquated plumbing
work with which they are now fitted
This would be expensive and it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful, with the reduced ap-
preparations for next year, that the new
Board of Freeholders will be able to do
it. That something should be done, and
at once, is manifest to any person who
has ever visited the institutions, and it
is hoped that the Grand Jury's coming
letter on the subject may be the means
of the remedying the awful conditions
that exist.
