TWO COLORED FELLOWS
GO OVER TO JAIL,

Tuesday Justice Rex A. Don
nelly gave John Barcus and Charles
Minks, colored, hearings. They are
charged with larceny from the wagon
of Max Horiwitz. 1t seems that the
two fellows knew that Mr.. Horiwitz
kept his wagon, which was filled with
dry goods, in lane near Cohen S
cigar factory. Saturday night they
made raid and were caught in the
act of stealing. Officer Cresswell ar
rested them and Tuesday they
plead guilty to being in company with
a crowd of fellows that were near the
wagon but denied having stolen goods.
On the testimony of Constable Cress-
we'll, to whom the boys admitted the
theft, they were held in $3.50 bail for
Court. Bail could not be furnished.

AT HIGH NOON,

A quiet but pretty wedding occurred
at noon yesterday, at the beautiful
home of Mr.. f. c. Probasco, on
Fayette street, when his accomplished
daughter, Miss Alice, was united in
marriage to Mr.. William G. Mulford.
The spacious parlors were trimmed
with greens, and ferns and palms were
in profusion. The mantles were
banked with smilax and the pink and
white wedding colors were artistical-
ly draped from room to room.
Rev. A. S. Allyn, of Berean Baptist
Church, officiated. Miss Emma Pro-
bacso, sister of the bride, was maid
of honor
The bride was gowned in point d
esprit over white silk the maid of
honor wore white Paris muslin.
Mr.. Mulford belongs to one of the
representative families of Bridgeton,
who have long been associated with
religious and educational work of the
city
Miss Probasco comes from highly
respected family whose history is as
sociated with Revolutionary fame.
The presents received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Mulford were costly and hand.

approached by Miss Shields herself
She and Julia had gone to bed and
they were talking when the conversa-
tion turned to the trouble DR.. Jones
was in, and Julia said that the charge
against the doctor was false and that
her brother had made it in order TO
get square with the doctor on account
OF an affair that occurred at Washing
ton Park, between DR.. Jones and her.
self.
Carl N. Ware, an attorney from
Millville, testified as to the effort
that had been made to secure the at
tendance at Court of Mrs. Jennie
Meade, OF New York City, as a wit
ness for the defendant. This is the
lady who occupied an adjoining cot to
that of Miss Shields in the hospital.
and who overheard the conversation
between DR.. Jones and Miss Shields
on the day the doctor visited her and
agreed TO pay her $780, The deposi.
tion OF this witness, which had been
taken before Judge James R. Hoag-
land, in New York City, on the elev-
enth of this month, was then read to
the Court and jury by Mr. Logue and
Mr.. Fithian. Both sides then rested
and the Court limited the attorneys
to half an hour side for summing
up. The case went to the jury at a
few minutes after five o'clock.
1t was about six O'Clock when the
jury delivered a verdict of guilty to
Clerk Betchner, having been out but
about an hour. 1t is apparent that
they had but little trouble in reaching
their verdict.

SHOT HIS BROTHER
In THE HEAD.

The carelessness of some one in
throwing an old revolver in a rubbish
pile has caused very serious injury
to Alfred, the eleven year old son of
Fred Appley, Sr., and the loss of a
life may result.
While playing on a lot at the rear
of their home on Bergen street, in
Third ward Monday afternoon, Fred
Appley, Jr., age thirteen years, and
his younger brother Alfred, found an
old revolver which had been thrown
away. 1t was rusty and broken, ap-
parently harmless. The youngsters
were pleased with their find and hur-
ried home to clean the new gun. The
older boy is accustomed to handling
an air rifle and was satisfied he knew
the various parts of the revolver.
The boys were in front of the house,
Fred sitting on the ground and Alfred
standing in the rear. The former was
handling the revolver when it dis
charged. An old bullet had been left
in the weapon, and this struck the
younger boy fairly between the eyes.
AS the boy was standing and the
bullet came from beneath him it did
not enter the head but tore the flesh
terribly about the forehead and came
out about four inches above the eyes.
The injured lad was carried to the
office of DR.. M. K. Elmer where the
wound was dressed.
1t is probable the boy will recover
yet his injuries are such that they
may prove fatal.
The boys father had left the house
but ten minutes previous to go to
Deerfield for week to assist John
Padgett in building new road

cially in the cities. He said men once
abandoned the cities for the desert
under the mistaken doctrine, the false
idea of sainthood, that separation from
the world was conducive to spirituality:
that religion was something apart from
daily life and that the affairs of the
world and the people were beneath the
notice Of the ambassadors of heaven.
He spoke of the strong local feeling in
the city-states Of Greece, separated by
mountains.
1.-THE intense life of the city offers
work for the church." said DR.. Gates.
1.-THE special needs and special tempta-
tions of the unshepherded multitudes
give the church glorious opportunity.
Good neighborliness, loving interest IN
men and women. are high expressions of
Christianity. The activity Of the church
its touch with the people, is its hone
and theirs. The members of the
churches should be concerned for the
people about them. Let us endeavor to
make our Government just and holy.
THE churches in their very buildings
appeal to the people. Look at the i'm
proved convenience, the great beauty of
our churches today compared to those
of thirty years ago. The churches of
the city are storage batteries. sending
out currents Of help and righteousness
to every quarter. Ten men who care ara
worth a thousand who don't care. Ten
men who care for morality and Chris
tianity are mighty host in any city or
any church. The idea of the meeting
house is beautiful one. People meet
and take friendly interest in each
other, confer together for the good of
all. 1t is radiating center of good in
fluences.''
Mr., Andrew Wilson, an active officer
of the Christian Endeavor Society, was
the speaker at the evening meeting.
DR.. Clifford preached at o'clock.
This evening Hon. W. S. Shallenber-
ger will preside at the denominational
which will be addressed by
