A Democratic judicial convention
has been called to meet in Little
Falls on Sept. II. tits the first party
convention held In this district for
several years, and it ia very doubtful
II such a convention is desired by the
Democratic attorneys or the Demo-
cratic voters of the district. II 1t is
doubtful II the delegates will attempt
to place any candidate In the field
against Judge Searle, and 1T is GER
tainly not probable that the Judge
can be defeated at the polls. In
speaking of the matter j. D. Sullivan

Was Forcibly Elected.

The case of the State Of Minnesota
against Jos. Bollig, OF Pierz, came
up for a hearing before Justice Shell:
don late Thursday afternoon. II
was postponed until Tuesday, Aug,
IA, at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon
The case originated something In
this way. One who might be termed
a police, at any rate an officer Of
some sort, 1s kept on duty in. the
Catholic church at Pierz during the
time services are being held in that
place Of worship. 1t appears to be
this mans duty to make all those
VINO attend the services obey the
rules of the church to- a degree. Last
Sunday forenoon Theo. Stumpf went
to the church. lie had been work.
ing in the field before the services be.
gan so did not have time to make 8
change OF clothing consequently left
on his old and worn wearing apparel.
For this reason he did not go to his
regular pew In the front OF the
church but remained standing be,
hind. When it came time to knee
for prayer Mr.. Stumpf decided that
he would not go to the altar and
kneel but instead offer up his prayer
while standing at the rear, OF the
church. This was objected to by
5Rollig who forcibly, elected Stump
from the church.: Therefore the
state brings suit to see who.is right
in the matter. Stumpf believes he
was in the right and that Bollie
overstepped the mark when he re-
fused him the privilege Of remaining
in the building. c,5a, -~as Al. !

the city to the city to he used as g
park. The city needs q park and is
very DESTROYS Of obtaining one with

vided the city would SO arrange the
shape of the park and the streets
around it that he (Mr. Morrill) could
plat the adjourning land into sale
able lots. The land in question is
situated near the intersection OF
First avenue north and Ninth
street east. It is east OF John
Burkel's residence where several
picnics have recently been held.
Mai. Morrill, also desired that should
he deed the land to the city they
improve it from year to year.
The council instructed their street
committee, Mecusker, Dennis and
NORM, to meet Mr.. Morrill, and con-
fer with him regarding such deal.
Mr.. Morrill, andthe council also held
a short discussion regarding the lay
ing out and building Of Il new road
from the west end of the north
wagon bridge part way to Little
Elk. The discussion was dropped
when it was men toned that the city
engineer has already been instructed
to survey and plat the proposed
road.
The bill of Stephen Lakin, OF $8.7t
for street work, was allowed.
The council passed an ordinance

GAS STOCK is IN DEMAND.
1t Brings More Than Four Times
Par Value.

Evidently people with bit of
money think that Bridgeton Gas
Stock is pretty safe investment
with prospects for the future most
flattering.
Saturday afternoon, at Executor S
sale. twenty-nine shares of stock
were offered for sale at public vendue
in front of the City Hotel. There
were many people present and many
people were interested. Auctioneer
E. L. Matlack cried the sale. The
stock was sold in blocks. There was
lively bidding for every bunch, and
twenty-five shares were sold to Tim
othy Campbell for SS7. 80 per share.
The last four shares of the twenty
nine broke this record The bid
ding was more and more lively and
when Mr.. Campbell's completed the
purchase of the entire block of stock
he paid 800 per share for the last four.
This is high water mark for gas
stock. The stock of the Bridgeton
Gas Light Company is twenty dollars
der share par value. The fact that
at public sale it brings four and a
half times more than that, indicates
that the enterprise is most sub
stantial one, and that the people
have every confidence in the excellent
management of the concern. The
Bridgeton Gas Light Company is
making money. Its earnings have
increased because of the enormous
increase of it's business during the
past few years, and despite the fact
that the concern has no opposition
here, the price of gas per thousand
feet has been constantly reduced
until now Bridgeton is very nearly
to the dollar gas mark.

HATTIE LEE rs
HELD FOR COURT.
Evidence Points To Her Keeping
DisOrderIy House.

Monday afternoon Justice e.
Z ord Appelgate gave a hearing to
Wattie Lee, who is charged with
keeping disorderly house on Eliza
beth street. She has been in Jail for
several days.
The evidence is unpresentable. 1t
showed very conclusively that Hattie,
who is duskv damsel, had ranch
on Elizabeth street, that was run
wide open. 1t was about as tough a
Joint as could well be imagined, and
was visited by various unmarried
couples who had no business to be
present. Such carryings on as were
permitted there were against the
law in all kinds of ways, and there
was but one thing for the Justice to
do. He adjudged her guilty and she
was held for Court in bail fixed at
800. She could not furnish the
money and is in iail.

SWIMMER MEETS DEATH.
Harry HOdgkins Drowned at Sun
set Lake.

Harry HOdgkins, thirty-two years
old, met his death Wednesday night
while foolishly attempting alone to
swim across Sunset Lake about eleven
O'Clock at night. His body was dis
covered Friday morning floating on
top of the water.
About half past nine O'Clock We'd
nesday night Hodgkins and young
man named Talley procured bathing
suits and went in the water. Some
time after ten O'Clock Talley told
Hodgkins that he was going out and
dress. The latter said he was going
to remain in while longer and about
fifteen minutes of eleven those in
charge of the bath houses called for
Hodgkins to come in and get his
clothes, as they wanted to close the
place up. Hodgkins called back to
leave the key and he would get his
clothing later. The key was left in
the bath room door and the attend
ants went home.
A little later a boating party out
on the pond noticed swimmer over
on the west side SHINING across the
big lake alone
Thursday morning Hodgkins
clothing, gold watch. some money and
liquor bottle were found in one of
the the bath houses. Then it was Sus-
picioned that ill had befallen the
young man, and searching parties
began to grapple all over the pond,
and this was continued until late last
night without result.
Friday morning William Kebler
was riding along the roadway on his
wheel, when he noticed the body
floating on the water. He obtained
help and the body was taken charge
of. Where the body rose to the
surface Of the water it was nearly
opposite what is known as "Piney
Point" away over on the west side of
the pond. This confirms all of the
stories Of those who were about the
bath houses Wednesday night, when
they heard Hodgkins call to them,
the voice sounding from the extreme
west of the pond.
The unfortunate drowning hap
pened because Of the fool-hardy at
tempt of the young man to swim
across the big pond in the dead of
night entirely alone. 1t may be that
when far from shore he was seized
with cramps.
Hodgkins is the son of Samuel B.
Hodgkins, who came to this city from
Troy, N. Y, five years ago. He was
an iron worker.

WOMAN ASSAULTED,
Caught BY the Neck and Her Clothing
Is Torn From Her-AssaiIant
Escapes

A young woman employed as a
domestic at the South Jersey Insti-
tute was assaulted Monday night
while on her way through the South
Jersey Institute grove from the
street to the building.
Her screams and terrific struggles
scared off the brute and he fled in
the darkness before help could re-
spond to her cries.
1t was not late in the evening.
The lady was returning to her home,
and she entered the grove, as she has
odne many times before, and Mithout
fears of any kind proceeded on her
way. The groves are dark, and the
| Institute building is situated far
back from Atlantic street.
While walking along the young
woman was suddenly confronted with
burly man whom she did not know.
He seized her by the throat with
one hand and her form was claSDed
with the other arm. Then ensued
oSiAlOlC ctluRSlO lU Wdo SNlueuU
that more serious crime was designed
than robbery and the domestic was
greatly frightened. She struggled
against her aSSailant and her
screams rang out on tho night air.
The dress of the lady was nearly
torn in ribbons and the cruel
choking nearly rendered the fright
| ened woman unconscious.
Just as help was coming from the
Institute in response to the screams,
the villianous fellow released the
woman and ran through the woods
and disappeared in the darkness.
The police were at once notified
but unfortunately there is no clue
to work upon that is likely to
bring the fellow to jail.
