of the benefit picnic rendered by Julius

railroad accident about six months ago.
The mammoth pavilion was well filed

rain storm to interfere with their desire
to show him the best evidence Of their
friendship and solicitude for his well
fare.

New Republican Official of Bayonne
VIII Take the Post Office Thursday.

Postmaster Frank H. Melville, of Ba-
yonne, will on Thursday night turn over
the duties of his Office to his successor,
Edwin Cadmus.
Mr.. Melville's retirement promises
trouble in the Republican party Of Ba-
yonne, because it is said he was COM
PEELED to give up the Office which he
hoped to fill four years more.
Before he was appointed postmaster
he repeatedly declared that no man
should have more than one term. but
when in the post office he changed his
tune 1t may be that his Republican
friends took him at his word, and urged
the appointment of Cadlnus. but the pre-
else reason for the change has not been
made known.
Melville, it is said. is not popular in
his own ward. while his successor is.
The result means faction fight and
Democrats are by no means displeased
at the outcome.

Fake Tickets for Allan

DBGUsTED CROWD At DEPOT
Told Officials a Scamp In

Them a Days Holiday.

There were more than 200 very dis
gusted and disappointed people in the
Pennsylvania Railroad depot this morn
ing. They had come from the East side
factories Of New York City to go to
Atlantic City on special excursion, and
when they tried to pass the gatemen at
the depot they were informed that their
railroad tickets were bogus. They had
paid $2 each for them.
where did you get these" asked one
of the officials of man who appeared
to be the leader of the party.
THE other day." replied the man, "a
Teller came into our shop and asked the
boss to let the men take holiday to go
to Atlantic City, as there was a cheap
excursion fixed up by the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The boss said if we wanted to
go he would let as, and we plunked down
our two bones for them things"
The tickets were about five inches long
and there were two coupons, Return to
New York" and New York to Atlantic
City," printed on them.
am sorry, salu the oHlciais Dut
these tickets are worthless. You hzre
been swindled."
sWell,' said the man, philosophically,
"our money is gone, but we have a hol-
day anyway, and guess we had better
go back home"
.We can recognize de man wot sold
dem tickets" said a shrill voice in the
crowd 'and when we get our claws on
him we won't do ting to him."
With many murmurings and threats
what they would do to the mean scamp
who buncoed them, the men went back
over the ferry to New York City.
