DIR. JONES GOES TO PRISON.

There was special session of Court
Monday morning before Judge Trench
ard. called for the purpose of impos-
;no sentence upon DR.. John @. Jones,
of Millville, who was recently con-
victed on charge of criminal abor-
tion, and the disposition of some
minor business in the Common Pleas
and Orphans Courts.
The first business taken up was the
hearing of evidence in the matter Of
the alleged insanity of Mrs. Sarah
A. Sharp, of Leesburg. A certificate
was allowed by the Court.
Prosecutor then announced that he
was ready to move for sentence in the
case of DR.. Jones' VIM. A. Logue
who acted as counsel for the defendant
in the trial was present and addressed
the Court in behalf of his clients in
terests, and presented a petition bear
ing the signatures of 1910 citizens OF
Millville and vicinity asking for Glenn
ency in the sentence of the Court.
Mr.. Logue argued that in the face OF
such strong public sentiment as ex-
pressed by the petition, no criticism
could attach itself to the Court in case
the sentence should be made light
one. The Court's attention was also
called to the fact that this was the
young mans first offence and to the
circumstances surrounding the whole
affair. The Court replied that the
guilt of the defendant was settled by
the verdict of the jury. and that there
only remained for determination what
the extent of the punishment should
be. The defendant is a physician,
and the offence was induced presum
ably by the relations existing between
himself and the young lady, and not
for money gain, and therefore was en-
titled to some consideration on this
point. The petition had little or no
effect. The doctor was then asked to
stand up He presented himself be-
fore the bar in a crestfallen sort of
manner.
''The sentence of the Court is, .
said Judge Trenohard, "that you
stand confined in the States prison at
Trenton, at hard labor, for period of
eighteen months. -
After the spectators had left the
Court room the young doctor went
over to the Jail in company with his
father and the Sheriff.
There will be another session of
Court next Monday.

PLEASING RECEPTION
OVER IN VINELAND,

The reception of the State Forestry
Association at Vineland Wednesday
night was very pleasing affair de-
spite the storm, which naturally
interfered somewhat with the attend
ance.
There were many Bridgetonians
present, and much of the entertain
ment was provided by them. There
were quartettes from here and solos
were rendered by Mrs. A. F. Loper
and Miss Luoie Henderson. An in
strumental trio was rendered, VIM. A.
Shull, JOINT. Mulford and Miss Lillian
Bowen. An orchestra from this city
rendered music.
Senator Minch, anthor of the For
est Fire Prevention law, was received
with applause, and made short ad-
dress, in which he explained some
thing of the.provisions of the law and
urged education all along the line.
Assemblyman Miller and Assembly
man Moore also spoke briefly.

LAW AND ORDER
LEAGUE FORMED.

A meeting was held Monday night
in the chapel of the Central M. e.
Church under the auspices of the
Bridgeton Ministerial Union. Out of
the meeting grew an organization,
which will be an auxiliary to the
State Law and Order League.
There were many present. despite
the storm, and the greatest interest
was taken in the meeting. Rev. L.
d. Stultz, President of the Ministerial
Union, presided at the meeting, and
after a general discussion of the
matter in all it's phases, it was de-
cided that an organization for the pro-
motion of Law and Order should be
made, and it was consequently formed
Constitution and bylaws were adopt
ed, and the meeting adjourned with
out selecting officers. This will be
accomplished, probably, before the
week is over.
Speaking of the meeting, one of
those interested said that the people
were greatly impressed with the ne
cessity of such an organization here,
and it was quite certain that much
could be accomplished in connection
with the State League, under direc-
tion of it's President, Rev. Samuel H.
Ham.
The organization will be wholly
political, standing alone for a
better community, and using it's in
fuence and efforts to have certain
lines of business conducted upon
legitimate principles, and have the
law fully observed The organization
will, likewise, use it's efforts for the
promotion of temperance in the com.
munity, and will take hand in the
municipal elections to bring about,
again, no-license system here.

greater success tha

In the lecture room of the church
Wednesday night, despite the storm
there was a large congregation to en-
joy the reception rendered the pas
tor. The room was prettily arranged
and suspended across the room were
the suggestive figures, 1866-1902.
There was pleasing program ar
ranged for the occasion.
Mr.. Thomas U. Harris made the
opening address, and being member
of the church longer than any other
man living was unusually interesting.
For forty years Mr.. Harris has been
active in this organization and his
recollections went back to the days of
Mr.. Beadle's father, who preceded
him in the pulpit. Mrs. John E.
Minch sang a pretty solo and was fol-
lowed by a recitation, "Aunt Maria, !"
by Francis Donaghay. Another reci-
tation, '"Mr. Brooks has had his hair
cut, - was rendered by Ada Silvers.

Using the Sub Station.

The Bridgeton and Millville Trac-
tion Company is now using the new
sub station down at Dividing Greek
and as a result the power along the
new Port Norris extension of the road
is much improved and the cars are
making much better time. The high
tension current was turned in Satur-
day and the cars that have been run
ming little behind time before i'm
mediately began to forge ahead, and
almost every trip made in the after
noon was right on the minute. The
line will be a great success and every
thing will be entirely satisfactory to
spending big box of money to get
this extension made and deserves
greatest success.

WANTED TO CUT
HIS WIFE'S THROAT.

With the words, "I'll cut your
throat and then kill myself, - on his
lips, John Darrety came down stairs
at his home on Nichols street near
North, Wednesday, and flashed razor
in his wife's face.
Darrety has been drinking heavily
and Tuesday night he was sent to the
butcher shop by his wife to purchase
some meat for supper.
He took something like four dollars
with him and disappeared. He re-
manned away from his residence until
Wednesday afternoon and when he
returned home, his wife reprimanded
him for his actions, and Darrety de-
cided not to stand for it, He pro-
cured razor from his room and
threatened the life of Mrs. Darriety,
who ran to bedroom and locked the
door,
John, after several attempts ITO
break the door open, gave up the at
tempted assault.
His wife's screams brought assist
ance from neighbors and the man was
soon arrested. His first charge was
drunkenness and after being sentenced
to four days, by Mayor Hampton,
Constable Robert Bath was waiting
for the defendant with another war
rant. Justice Hall then sent Darriety
to Jail for hearing Saturday.

was presented upon the lawn. The
spacious grounds were well lighted
with arc electric lamps, and scattered
here and there were tables for the
sale of ice cream and cake, served
delicately by young ladies attired in
bright dresses, adding rare beauty
and animation to the picture.
General Manager B. F. Hires, upon
behalf of the Bridgeton and Millville
Traction Company, generously fur
nished the City Cornet Band and that
organization presented a delightful
program during the evening.
The donations were most liberal
including one hundred dollars in
money. There were many canned
goods, table linen, cooking utensils,
chinaware, tinware, dry goods, gro
ceries, preserves, jellies, household
articles, very much more than last
year.

HUNT BROTHERS.

abnormal results of some kind, we
must wait and watch before we can
positively know the nature of those
results.
The central Vulcan storm period for
the month covers the 18th to the goth.
being central on the 18th, the day of
Saturn's opposition with earth and
sun. This period is also covered by
the combined influences of Venus and
Mercury. We may therefore expect
some notable disturbances between
Wednesday the 10Th, and Monday the
Goth. If these disturbances do not
take the form of heavy electrical
storms, phenomenal heat will prevail
and seismic perturbations will prob
ably culminate on and near the Goth.
II general and marked electrical
storms develop at this period-results
rather to be expected will come
gracious respite from consuming
heat and drouth, thus assisting and
perhaps saving the corn crop in many
western to northwestern sections.
The 22d to 24th inclusive will bring
reaction from high to lower baro-
meter, the temperature will rise to
higher readings, and storminess, with
lightning, threatening clouds and rain
in many localities, will be natural, all
reaching the eliminating stages on
and touching the oath. This is the
day of the moons passage across the
celestial equator, which fact always
increases the probability of thunder
storms, even in moderate weather in
winter. Let any one who is skeptical
on this subject keep a systematic
watch, together with careful record
of such phenomena, as reported gen.
orally over the country or globe, and
he will finally be forced to the con-
clusion that our statement is correct.
Ask your friends scattered through
several states to keep careful record
of the dates upon which thunder
storms visit their sections, say for
! period of six months; then tabulate
these reports. and compare them with
the dates of the moons passage over
the equator, and see if maximum of
electrical storms does not uniformly
concentrate on and touching these
dates. Those who appreciate and de-
sire such facts can easily prove their
truth or falsity. Those who care
nothing for such knowledge, will
hardly take the pains to acquire or
prove it, and they will stolidly con-
trovert and reject the evidence gath
cred by those who do.
The last storm period for July will
culminate during the closing days of
the month, low barometer, cloudiness
with probable rain and thunder storms
being in transit from west to east as
July goes out.

FISHING TRIP
ENDED IN DROWNING.

Thursday afternoon Samuel Peter
son, a window glass worker, of Bank
street, was drowned. Peterson was
fishing, sitting on the wharf of Albert
Conover. About half-past four
o'clock he was talking to William
Smith, the bridge tender. Mr.. Smith
was on the Broad street bridge. AS
the latter started to walk across the
bridge he heard splash and turning
round noticed hat floating on the
water. Mr.. Peterson was nowhere to
be seen.
Quickly Mr.. Smith secured a grap-
pling iron and hurrying down to the
wharf managed, after some difficulty,
in getting the hook in the clothing of
Peterson and pulled him ashore.
The unfortunate man had been in the
water between ten and fifteen min
utes.
Dr. Mayhem and DR. Diament were
hurriedly summoned, and they worked
for nearly an hour over the man but
there was not the slightest indication
that life remained.
The body was taken to the late
home on Bank street, where there are
sorrowing wife and four bereaved
children.
Mr.. Peterson was subject to fits,
and it is thought that he must have
been seized with one previous to his
falling in the water He was about
fifty years of age.

Miss Mary Lambert sang expressive
ly a solo, and DR.. j. B. Ware made
short address. He appeared as Mr..
Beadle's nearest neighbor. His re-
marks were enlivened with delicate
humor, while his sentiments were of
the warmest character.
'Mr. Meeks's Dinner" a recitation
by Edna Rynick, was followed by
another, Gossip" by Ethel Cole.
Misses Hattie Edwards and Mary Lore
sang duett and Rev. W. J. Bridges,
as very near friend of Mr.. Beadle,
made a very happy address, paying
highest admiration to the popular
pastor. His remarks were very bright
and pleasing.
Mr.. Beadle then was presented to
the congregation. He was happy in
his remarks and felt highly delighted
with the distinction thus given him.
He remarked the changes in the past
years, the children that he had met
when he came here, now grown into
manhood and womanhood, grand
mothers and grandfathers.

risks, but he never cheated death by
narrower margin. A singularly dra-
matte moment, such as this occurrence,
will confirm among the mass of the
American people the feeling that
Roosevelt is, in the best sense, their
man of Destiny"
This occasion is seized as an oppor-
tunity for the publication of general
reviews of the presidents personality
and the crucial political period facing
the United States. The Daily Tele-
graph, the Standard and the Daily
Chronicle all rank President Roosevelt
with Emperor William as the worlds
two most interesting and picturesque
figures
The Chronicle says: In range, Pres
ldent Roosevelt is at least Emperor
Williams equal, and in solidarity and
depth he probably excels the German
emperor. His life is one that the world,
no less than America, could ill afford
to lose. Perhaps at no time, except
during the civil war, mas the United
States been in greater need of a
statesman with the character and ca
pacity which President Roosevelt pos
sesses, than she is today"

Saving Fruit Wasted in Former
Years

The canning season is now on in full
swing in Weber county. This year all
the factories have utilized a great
variety of products, quite a change
from the first year or two, when only
tomatoes were canned. The change is
of great benefit to localities where the
factories are located. At Uintah, for
instance, the farmers are this year
able to dispose of tons of fruit that
would go to waste but for the market
afforded by the factory. Plums, pears,
apples and other fruits, that would
have spoiled for lack of an immediate
market, have this year been marketed
at the factory. Similar conditions pre-
vail at other factory towns.
The tomato crop is still delayed by
cold weather, and none of the fac
tories are running to full capacity on
this product
