NEGRO USES REVOLVER
Will Henderson, of Love, Is Slightly
Wounded.

WOuNuGu.
Early Tuesday morning Will
Henderson, a young man living q
short distance east of Love, was
shot and slightly wounded by a
negro named Andersen Bell.
Bell used a revolver the ball from
which struck Henderson in the
side of the hip, barely missing
the bone.
The negro who was a tenant on
the Henderson place, had, it seems,
not been doing his work properly
aud just prior to the shooting
Henderson had some words with
him about not giving more strict
attention to his business. This
anoered the darkey and he pulled
his revolver and fired. Bell fled
Immediately after the shooting,
and word was sent to the officers
here. Messrs. Gore and Harri-
son left for the scene of the diff
Guilty, but failed to apprehend

GOOD ROADS IN EMPIRE STATE

Work on good roads, was com-
menced in New York State in 1898
and 1899 when 81 miles were COM
pleted in three counties; in 1900 26
miles were built and in 1901 the to-
tai mileage was increased 81 miles.
That improved roads are appreciated
in the Empire State is shown by the
fact that petitions have been received
since the enactment of the law from
forty counties for 1893 roads having an
estimated length Of l, 282 miles. Sur
veys have been made Of 1856 of these
roads in 80 counties, aggregating 624
miles in measured length. In addi-
tion the roads completed or now
under contract. surveys plans and es-
Inmates have been made and.presented
to Boards Of Supervisors, accepted by
them and the counties 'one-half of the
estimated cost amounting to 1915, 05i
has been appropriated by the super
visorA for 81 roads in 81 counties, ag-
gregating 244 miles. Surveys. plans
and estimates have been made or are
in progress for ITO roads located in 25
counties, aggregating Si4 miles in
measured length which will be sub
mitted to the Boards Of Supervisors
at their coming sessions.

burned several gas logs. From the
mantle piece above hung the stockings
awaiting the coming of Saint Nick. Z
Several little tots" gowned in long
night robes went to sleep by the fire as
band of .'Dreamland Fiaries" came in
and sang while the others slept. Pre-
sently Santa Claus, impersonated by
Oliver Day, made his appearance and in
short order filled the stockings from the
large pack he carried on his back On
the whole the cantata was most success
full and much credit is due Mrs. Weeks,
Mrs. Stults, Mrs. Soaring, Mrs. Lephron,
and Miss Carrie Day by whom it was ar
ranged. The members of the school
later adjourned to the Sunday School
room where refreshments including ice
cream, candy and cake were served.
The presents to the members of the in
FAINT department included tool-chests for
the boys and dolls and dishes for the
girls, these being presented by warm
friend of the school.

The health ofioials Of jersey Citv

The health officials Of Jersey City
are greatly troubled over the case Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Il. Hopkins, Of
1876 Collard street, faith cnrists, who
allowed their five children to suffer
about fortnight with smallpox
before the fact was discovered by
reighbors and the proper authorities
notified. The eldest, a girl of II died
ON Tuesday, and the other four have
the disease in malignent form.
Commenting on the numerous cases
of smallpox in Essex and Hudson
Counties the Elizabeth Journal re-
marks
Elizabeth is being advertised consi-
derably as being infected with small
pox. This is wrong. The city of
Newark has, at this time, over 200
cases of smallpox. There have been
90 deaths in that city from this dis
ease. But Newark people and Newark
papers are saying very little about it,
and in this they are wise. The won
der is that with SO many people rum
ming from Elizabeth to Newark and
New York, they haven't brought home
more cases.
