GOVERNOR IN THE CITY.
Stops Here Over Night on His Way
to Pike County on
Fishing Trip.

Governor William A. Stone, accom-
panied by his wifes brother, j. L..
Smith, of Philadelphia, and Deputy At
torney General Frederic w. Fleitz,
stopped here over night on their way to
Blooming Grove, Pike county, for a few
days fishing.
They arrived here at Q o'clock and
took quarters at the Jermyn. After
partaking of a lunch at Lohmann's.
the party retired, that they might make
an early morning start for the Wild
wood.
A Tribune reporter had a few min
utes' chat with the governor, but could
not induce him to discuss anything ex-
cept fish.
When told of the contradictory re-
ports prevalent here as to the signing
of the "chaser" to the Muehlbronner
act, the governor set the matter at rest
with the information that it had re-
ceived the necessary executive ap-
proval, and was now law.
The anti-administration mass meet
ing in Philadelphia last night and the
threatened third party movement in
Pennsylvania We're broached for eX-
pressions from the governor, but he
excused himself from any discussion of
politics or affairs of state.
