wagon, heavily loaded with goods of one
sort and another, ready to bring to this
city.
About half past nine o'clock Thursday

tree of the wagon to get inside, the horses
gave jump. The lurch unbalanced Fox
and he fell underneath the front wheel
Before the horses could be stopped both
wheels of the heavy wagon had passed
over the young mans stomach. Some
ladies in the wagon quickly grasped the
lines and brought the horses to stand
still, preventing runaway.
Fox was picked up, placed in wagon
and brought to the home of his uncle,
Fred. Fox, on North Pearl street, where
he was attended by physician. 1t was
found that he was seriously injured.

She rushed madly about, shrieking in
her terrible fright, until those near by

The quivering form was tenderly car

SALEM, N. j., March 22.-George G..
Fries, 3S syears old, who lived alone at
Alloway, was found dead in bed this
morning. He had been missed since
Monday, and neigbors forced way into
the house, where Fries body was found.
Coroner McDonne deemed an inquest un-
necessary, as death had been caused by
exposure. 1t is probable that Fries had
been stricken i'll and lay helpless till
death stole upon him.
While the unfortunate's body was be-
ing cared for several persons, among
them Willard McDonpe, a son of the
Coroner, ard Township Collector Chas
V. Armstrong, gathered in an adjoinidg
room. In corner stood shotgun,
which young McDonne picked up to ex-

very social occasion was that Tuesday
night at the home of Miss Ruth Elmer.
daughter of iona. Elmer, on East Com
merce street. There was some two score
young folks present and they enjoyed
themselves with happiest entertainment.
When the guests arrived the name of
some celebrated character was pinned
Upon each individual back, and from
concealed suggestions made, the party
wearing the name was supposed to guess
who they were representing. This was
very funny, because many guesses were
made that were far from being right.
Another happy incident was the guessing
of the originals of photographs. Each
guest brought with them a picture of
themselves when a baby. The photos
were placed about the room and num-
bered. A prize was offered to the young
lady and gentleman who could properly
name all of the pictures. Six of those
present were successful, and it was then
necessary to draw lots. Miss Sarah
Lyons and Herbert Mayer we're the sue
cessful prize winners. Refreshments
were served before the guests left.
Among those present we've: Misses
Sarah Lyons, Anna Ogden, Mary Logue,
Clara Price, Dorothy Streets, Holly

Nina Mulford, Mary Lummis, Elizabeth

conspired to kill him by putting poison
in his coffee and all that sort of thing.
When it came to furnishing proof, Hous-
and failed utterly and the Justice dis
missed the complaints. Sam, however.

threatened to whip him, and as a sort
of proper precaution Justice Appelgate
held Gus under bonds to keep the
peace. Honsand is at p resent prisoner

BUSY TRAMPs.
The Creatures are Causing All Sorts of
Annoyances.

The Creatures are Causing All Sorts of
AnnOyaDces.
The first of April brings shad fishing
and oyster planting. The fishing and
planting bring tramps. The tramps
bring all sorts of trouble, and the COM
munity is already being pestered by the
advance guard of the worthless hoboes.
Funny, isn't it, that just where there is
plenty of work, there the tramps will
gather-and never work. Guess they
come down here about workingitime just
to lay right along side of work to show
the people they are not afraid of it.
But the tramps always make trouble.
All outside the town the country people
are complaining. They say that the
tramps of 1900 vintage are the meanest,
most independent tramps yet happening
this way. They don't beg for hand-out;
they demand it. If they don't get it, they
insult ne house wife or householder and
then come around at night and steal
chicken or two, or raid the potato house.
In North Bridgeton,the people are COM
planning bitterly of the tramps. Several
chicken roosts have been robbed and
little things left out in the yards or open
sheds have been carried off.
A milk jar is not safe away from lock
and key. and jar after jar is carried off in
the morning, before the house holder gets
around.
Mayor Hampton won't harbor the de-
predators about the station house. The
police will drive them on as much as
possible. The tramp question is one that
will not down. Too bad that they have to
be put up with. A work house would
turn the drift the other way,

entire division of the New Jersey Ma

Girt this summer, with Major General
Sewell in command. The force consists
of four regiments, troop of cavalry and
a battery of artillery, altogether some

never lasted more than one week, and as
