The Stubborn Company Cook.

where we We're camped one spell in
front of Petersburg" said Civil War
veteran to a New York Sun man, there
was one gun ON the other side that
seemed to have a line of our company
street.
THAT used to disturb us eonsidera-
bic, because we didn't know but what
some day shell might come along
through there and carry off our dinner,
and we tried to get the cook to shift
the fire little, ten feet or so, so it
wouldn't be in so much danger; but he
was a stubborn cuss, and he wouldn't.
HE said a cook fire wouldn't look
very nice out in the middle of the COM
pany street, and there wasn't any dan
ger, anyhow. What he wanted,
guess, was to keep it where it would
be most convenient right alongside of
his tent; but there's where he did keep
it, anyway, We couldn't move him,
till something happened.
I'VE were going to hare boiled pork,
boiled beans and coffee Tor dinner one
day, and all three kettles were hanging
side by side and close together on the
pole, and bilin' away merrily, when
along came shell, there close to the
ground, and how it ever did 1t don't
know, because it didn't have the kettles
in line; but it managed somehow, all
the same, to smash all three of them
into seventeen different kinds of cooked
hats, and it scattered our dinner pretty
much all over creation.
For about minute it just rained
beans and coffee and chunks of pork all
round that neighborhood. Some of the
pork came down four streets away. and
it seemed as though in our street there
wasn't a tent but what got more or less
of the beans or coffee or both. You
wouldn't have thought they could have
been SO widely distributed, so that there
was enough of 'em to go round so far,
and the shell didn't explode, you under.
stand, either-just smashed the kettle
and passed on.
well, we lost our dinner that day,
but the loss served one good purpose;
we were able after that to get the cook
to move the fire little, anyway, out of
the range of that gun" -. +.

THE GROOM
DID NOT COME.
Vineland People are Stirred up
With Failure of Groom to
Put in an Appearance.

Vineland, N. j., Oct 8.-There
was to have been a pretty wedding at
the home of William Nelson last
night, when his daughter Jennie was
to have become the bride of Frederick
M. Lyons, prominent young man of
the town. Miss Nelson was attired
in he.s bridal gown, the wedding cake
was ready, invited guests arrived, the
trunk had been packed for the honey
moon tour, and everything had been
arranged for the nuptials, but the
bridegroom to-be failed to appear.
AS the hours wore on Miss Nelson s
mother and friends began to cry, but
Miss Jennie still had faith, and watt
ed patiently, but the awful truth soon
dawned upon her, and she was pros
trated.
A messenger who was sent to the
home of Frederick Lyons arrived with
the intelligence that he was nowhere
to be found
Mrs. Nelson hurriedly calling upon
the young mans mother, was told
that Frederick had left on a late
train for New York City and had left
no address. Mrs. Lyons could not un-
derstand her sons sudden change of
mind.
Frederick Lyons is a recent High
School graduate and son of Frank
M. Lyons, a well-to-do pearl button
manufacturer here. The young man S
former schoolmates and friends are
shocked by his strange conduct, as he
seemed very happy over the approach
ing event. The couple appeared very
loving and devoted to each other, and
many of their friends predicted a
happy match. Lyons had been court
ing Miss Nelson for two or three
years.

1t was no small task to follow the
gentleman who had preceded him.
The former Senator had conducted
himself with earnestess, virtue and
ability and was commended not only
by his county but the entire State.
He had set a high mark to reach,
high mark to measure up to. But Mr..
Newlin had great confidence in Mr..
Minch. "You all know him." he
said, "and it is happy augury that
a Gardner has come here to set our
Bloom in array. !" Summing it up
Mr.. Newlin said that Mr.. Minch was
good fellow. His geniality, his
kindness, his affability, his liberality,
his generosity, his thorough, unset
fish devotion to Republicanism COM
mended him to the party. In closing
Mr.. Newlin referred to the past when
the candidate stood aside for others,
and concluded with, "The greatest
feather in his cap to-day, is that the
people who have devotedly stood by
our retiring Senator, now stand by
Bloomfield H. Minch. .
Great applause followed Mr.. New
lin and before the roll call could be
resumed, Louis H. Miller, of Vine
land, jumped to his feet and moved to
suspend the rules and the nomination
be made by acclamation.
With mighty aye, every delegate

John Burns, an Old Offender is
Again in the Tolls.

Constables Frank J. Lore and VIM.
Cresswell have probably caught the
distinguished wire thief who has been
robbing the Bridgeton and Millville
Traction Company.
Wednesday word was received from
Lore that the constables were in West

They have been looking for him for a
few days, knowing that he was in this
section. When arrested he had upon
him all the necessary tools for cutting
and taking down wire.
Burns lives in Philadelphia He is
an old offender and has been in this
section before and arrested twice.
He served one term for stealing wire
from the Bridgeton and Millville
Traction Company.

Fourth ward of Bridgeton gave way
to the Fourth ward of Millville, anC
Hon. John w. Newlin stepped to th'

an ovation. The entire assemblage
was applauding and cheering, the
band was playing, and when Senator
Stokes grasped the hand of his sue
cessor there was widest enthusiasm
and 1T was minutes before Mr. Minch
could be heard. He surprised every
one with the manner in which he
spoke, and the remarks he made were
entirely fitting and the convention
continued to applaud for a long while.
DR.. Jones simply thanked the Con-
vention for the distinction conferred
upon him.
Senator Stokes was given an ovation
and while nearly sick, made one of
the most pleasing addresses ever heard

vention came with the appointment of

SUNDAY SELLERS
ESCAPE INDICTMENT.
Atlantic County Grand Jury Fails
to Find Any Bills Against
Saloon Keepers.

CAAOoh IACCpClCs
Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 8.-Not
single indictment against the alleged
violators of the Sunday Liquor Law
was found by the Grand Jury which
this morning concluded it's session.
Justice Hendrickson rebuked the
jurors and expressed his regret that
no true bills had been found, and
when the Justice had made lengthy
address upon the Grand Jury's failure
to indict, Congressman John J.
Gardner, the foreman, dryly re-
marked:
1.-THE Grand Jury can enter into no
controversy with the court y
When only five bills not connected
with the liquor cases were handed to
the court, Justice Hendrickson ex-
amined Them carefully and then asked
the jurors, who were lined up.before
him:
Am to understand that no liquor
indictments have been found?"
''No such bills have been found,
Your Honor replied Mr.. Gardner.
We have heard all the evidence and
have sent for every person who desired
to give US any,
81 regret that the jury has found
no bills," said Justice Hendrickson,
"as I understand that the evidence is
plenty on the subject of the violations
of the Sunday law.
THE Court assumes that these bills
have been voted upon and that some
members have voted to find true bills
but that the necessary twelve votes
were not cast for Indictment. The
Court cannot inquire of the Grand
Jury its motives and reasons, but it
may be that the recent respect of the
holders of liquor licenses in remain
ing closed on Sunday has had much to
do with your findings. The Court
has noted with satisfaction the obey
ing of the Sunday closing law, and
am informed that some of the saloon
keepers have publicly expressed the
intent to remain closed until the law
is changed by Legislative enactment. -
"It is my duty he said, ''to say
that it is not the right of the Grand
jury to excuse violators of the law.
9 1t devolves upon the court to extend
leniency to offenders, and if the
Grand Jury had presented true bills
the conduct of the defendants in obey
ing the law the past few weeks would
have been considered by the court.
The court must leave it upon the
Grand Jury to take the entire respon-
sibility of their action.
1t assumes that not enough votes
to 1ndict were cast, and that the evi-
dence in some of these complaints at
least must have been satisfactory.
1t is my duty to say that because
OF the failure of the Grand Jury tc
indict that the prosecutor shall hold
in his possession the complaints, SC
that they can be presented to another
Grand jury

Assault and Battery cases.

Never before has Cumberland county
had so many assault and battery cases
as have been brought before the atten-
tion of the Court this term. There
were about twelve cases of this char
acter that the Grand Jury thought
necessary to try. Several were dropped
because of their insigniticance.
