the best of recommendations and their
entertainment will surely please both
old and young. In the way of horse
racing there will be something worth
coming miles to see. Five events are
booked, and they alone would make
good afternoon program. There will be
a free for all pace, 2:24 trot, ESQ pace
and trot, running race and special
trot Or pace for horses owned by local
blocksmiths. Like the rest of the pro-
gram the races will be free and no en-

who wish to buy their dinners, dining
halls will be run in connection with the
refreshment stands.

DIR. DIMMICK'S
ELOQUENT SERMON
On Capital and Labor at st. Pauls Church
Last Sunday Evening.

St. Paul's NJ. +. church was crowd ed
Sunday night when the pastor, the Rev.
DIR. B. F. Dimmick, preached his sermon
on Capital and Labor, taking for his
theme "The Present Crisis-Causes and
Cure" His scripture texts were from
III Timoth 81. "This know also, that
in the last days perilous times shall
come" and EcclesiastIcs Z, 10: SAY not
thou what is the cause that the former
davs were better than these? for thou
dost not inquire wisely concerning this. y
Space does not permit Of more than a
few extracts of this eloquent discourse:
''The conflict between capital and la
Dor is terrible battle. Great money
trusts against gigantic labor organlza-
tions are constantly assuming propor-
tions more menacing and more colossal 4,
so that the hearts of all serious thinking
men are stirred with alarm"
''There never was = time when there
was so little comparative poverty rs
now, though altogether too mnch; never
a time when the unfortunate man cared
for and aided as nov. 49,! llc~" works
of mercy and help .r" "In-tnmiiy in
creasing. The cul..H - rl,~,,,'~ 90; toiay
enjoy luxuries thai Tie wealthy were
denied in the pas. centuries.
''But the greatest Cause o! tie disturb
ed condition of our time aud the grim
poverty of so many is the drink habit.
While this nation continues to spend
more for intoxicating drinks than for
bread meat, clothing and education COM
bined, she may expect to reap harvest
of paupers and outcasts, and no increase
of the volume of money will give perma-
nent relief while we thus ruthlessly
squander one third of our resources an
nually."
But wealth, the nation and the
church may do their full duty for the
redemption of humanity and yetit can
not be done unless the poor can be
aroused to help themselves. There is
very much left undone that would vastly
better the condition of the common
people that no one can do for them but
themselves. God helps those who help
themselves.

Death of William Shepperson. Sr,

After protracted illness, William
Shepperson, Sr. died at half past eleven
o'clock Sunday morning at the family
residence on East Front street.
The deceased was aged rs years and 4
months. About eight months ago he
was taken with severe attack of kidney
and liver trouble from which he could
never gain any relief and which kept
him confined to his bed the greater part
of the time.
Mr.. Shepperson was native of Eng
land, having moved to this country from
Nottingham over 45 years ago. On reach
ng America he located in the slate reg
ions northampton county, Pa.,) for a
short time. In 1856 he moved to Dan
vile where he has continually resided
ever since, having been one of the solid
and influential citizens of the Second
ward for many years. He is survived by
wife and five children, namely: Mrs.
Clara Bowman, of Pittsburg; Sister Fides
Isabelle) of the Convent of Mercy, of
Pittsburg, and William A. Jr., Arthur
and Catherine, of this city.

Triennial Assessment.

The plans for the proposed improve
ments in the Water Works, which have
been delayed owing to the painful acci-
dent that befell architect John Ii. Brugl-
er last week, will be started just as soon
as Mr.. Brugler is able to get around.
AS soon as the Ward Assessors COM
plete the work of the tri-ennial as
sessment, which has been called by the
County Commissioners, the financial
conditions of the city will be in excell-
ent shape and money will be available
for the carrying on of many needed i'm
provements, outside of the above men,
toned addition to the Water Works. At
the present time, according to the as
sessment roll, the total assessed valua-
ton of the city is but $S25,037; consequ-
emily, allowing the city only seven per
cent of this for its borrowing power,
does not give much money in which to
carry out the ideas of many of our pro-
gressive citizens.
Under the triennial assessment the
valuation of our city should be increas-
ed at least three times, which will make
our borrowing power nearly three times
greater and give us money that can be
expended in the advancement of our
commercial interests. 1t is stated upon
excellent authority that the great ad-
vance in our assessed valuation will in
no way increase our taxation, and if it
mill at the most.

RESUMPTION Court Business.

Business with the local justices has
been dull for some time past but yester-
day the law market appreciated a few
points and Squire Hunter heard an as
sault and battery case in which Harvey
Lamberson and Alvin Lonsberry each
held a share.
From the evidence, as developed at
the hearing, it seems that these two had
an arguement over some straw which
one or the other had stacked on the
other ones property, both owning ad-
joining pieces of land along the canal
near Red Point. Lonsberry evidentally
thought that he was wronged, for the
information charged that he had laid
his hands violently on Lamberson's per-
son and for that alleged offence he had
to put up bail in the sum of 5000 for his
appearance at court.
