Set Fire to His Cell.

Charles Brown, in Jail awaiting trial for
the murder of Washington Hunter, set
fire to his cell on Thursday morning. The
cell is different from the others in the jail
as it has wall of lath and plaster, the
others being stone. Brown took some
pieces of wire and worked the plaster off,
stuffing paper into the hole. Early in the
morning Turnkey Fleetwood discovered
smoke on the upper tier. He went to the
place and found fire in the hole made by
Brown The flames were extinguished.
Brown said he did not know how it hap
pened. He had lighted his pipe and
thrown the match down. and he supposed
it must have had some fire to it.
This explanation was apparently accept
ed, but watch was kept on the cell and
it was not long before more smoke was
seen in the same place This time Brown
did not attempt to explain. The fire was
extinguished and the prisoner was remov
ed to another cell. He was handcuffed
and was carefully watched. He has been
allowed the privilege of his pipe, but here
after he will not be given any chance to
do damage. When the cell he fired has
been repaired he will be returned to it,
but he will be fastened to the floor with
foot manacles. Browns idea evidently
was that there would be panic when the
Jail was found to be on fire and he would

the spring from her step, the light from
her eyes, the rose from her cheek and the

The starter in the races was w. Emer.
son Macafee, of New York. He gave ex.
cellent satisfaction.
A call for physician on Thursday was
caused by the illness of Mrs. Stewart, OF
M arlton, who was Frustrated by heat af
lection. She was soon restored.
There was some kicking because the
choice seats on the first floor of the grand
stand were reserved, but they were all
sold regardless of the grumbling.
On Friday the starter fined one of the
drivers $50. AS the man went to pay the
money the band played eff you amt got
no money, you needn't come around.
Beer was sold at several stands. On
Society, of Camden, secured evidence,
and on Friday seven men were arrested.
All gave bail.
The removal of the judges stand leaves
the opposite side of the track free from
Instructions, but the building interferes
greatly with the view, from some parts of
the grand stand, of the vaudeville attrac-
tions.
The track record was considerably low
cred on Wednesday, in one of the heats
between the PAGERS Prince Alert and Ana
conda. The latter made the mile in 206
The record heretofore was 21144, held by

pany made an exhibit of feather mat
tresses that attracted much attention on
account of the novel manner in which the
ordinary feather bed is converted into a
good mattress.
The official figures of attendance will
n OF be ready for some time. The railroad
company reports that it carried more peo-
pie on Thursday than it did during the
entire fair of 1900. The gate receipts
were far in advance of last year.
An internal revenue officer visited the
fair on Thursday and made the rounds of
the stands Wherever he could buy
glass of beer he did so, and when the
transaction was completed by the coir
dropping into the till the officer would
present his card and request the beer sell
er to pay the government tax of about
$17.

sent to Jail. Later he was released under
81 900 bail.
The grand stand was filled on Thursday
The crowd was greater than was anticipa-
ted, and those who occupied the upper tier
were not accommodated with benches
This will be remedied before another year
rolls around. The seats from the first
floor will be removed to the second tier
and chairs substituted.
The great pacing race between Prince
Alert and Anaconda, showed fast track
On Thursday the two horses were going
in the last heat when somebody threw
a newspaper on the track. Anaconda
tried to jump over it and broke badly.
But for this the record would have been
a world breaker for half mile track. The
race was won by Prince Alert who took
the first and third heats. Time, 2,06aa,
