yesterday afternoon al the army prov
Ing ground on Sandy Hook, and result

was as perfect as IL was possible to
make II In accordance with the invent
or's ideas. The board has decided to
give a secon trial, TO which the in

Mr.. Gathmann for the purpose or
guarding against imperfections. On

The sale of two girls, members OF

a riot that for a time threatened serious
results. So angry We're the citizens over
the traffic that when a court failed to
punish the wanderers the citizens aban-
doned stores and factories, the school was
closed, and men, women and children
united in a mob which drove the gypsy
band from town. The deal which caus-
ed all the trouble was the sale of Juanita
Costello and Margot Czesh, 16 and IL
years old, by their guardian, Nicholas
Karoptkin, a Russian, to Brazilian,
also a member of the band, the price paid
being $500. The girls refused to recog-
nize the sale and threatened to kill their
prospective master. The Brazilian then
| swore out warrant for Karoptkln,
charging the obtaining of money by false
pretenses. A squad of special police was
found necessary to secure the RUSSIAN,
who drew a revolver on the officers. The
| failure to secure an interpreter made 1T
/ impossible to get evidence against the
prisoner and he was discharged. During

stores and offices were closed and school
was dismissed, so the Russian found the
