STOVE HOLE IN HER
SIDE WHILE DOCKING.
SIOop Had too Much Speed Was
Loaded With Oysters at
the Time.

The-.oyster sloop Peter Metsger had
a narrow escape from sinking at the
steamboat dock at $50 O'Clock this
morning. She came in so fast with a
cargo of oysters that before she could
be stopped, she had hit the side of the
dock and stove hole i'll her.
The sloop, heavily loaded with
oysters for the Booth Company, the
local oyster shippers, came up the bay
in a strong wind, when opposite the
steamboat dock she turned in. AS
she did so the sail was dropped but
she had much headway and before
the anchor could be put out the sloop
had hit the dock. The hole in the
side was the only damage. 1t can be
readily repaired.

f0 ESTABLISH
A PIG FARM.
James Smith Of Mcclellan Street
will 80 into the Business
at Wholesale.

James Smith of Mcclellan street,
has purchased farm of 2715 acres OF
land at Menlo Park and he will
20 into the pig raising business
He expects to raise at least 1000 pigs
and perhaps more.
This will be the only pig farm in
this vicinity and as there is only one
on Staten Island and that at the Drum
goole Institute, Mr.. Smith expects it
to be a paying investment.
Mr.. Smith, who has been a dealer
in swine for a number of years, told
News reporter this morning that he
did not see why it should not prove
successful, as he at the present time
was able to dispose of 1000 pigs
annually, and that from last April up
to the present time he had sold 800 of
them. He expects to make use OF the
garbage of all the local restaurants
and hotels. Carpenters will soon start
to work on the farm and they will
build stalls for the pigs and every
thing will be gotten III order.

ing Arrangements for
the Session.
RECEPTION FOLLOWS.

1t is the New Jersey State Council
of the Catholic Benevolent Legion
which is to hold it's annual conven-
tion in Perth Amboy, for the first
time, October 13. This is a large and
growing organ ization and has consid
erable influence throughout the State.
The program for the day has been
completed. The delegates will attend
mass in body at st. Mary's church
at o'clock. After this they will
march to the knights of Columbus
Hall, at Smith and Rector streets,
where the convention will be held.
Business will then be transacted and
dinner will be served at the Island
Hotel. The following schedule has
been prepared for the remainder OF
the day:
After the convention a reception
will be held, and addresses mads al
Braga Hall by Rev. FathsT Connell,
Supreme President>9Yb and other
supreme and State officials. Prof.
Morrissey's full orchestra has been
secured for the occasion, and a first
class program for dancing has been
arranged.
Father Quinn Council feels proud
of the honor bestowed upon it by the
meeting of the State body here. The
local council was organized in this
city in 1884, and numbers close on to
two hundred members. Its meetings
are held on the second and fourth

Idea is to Pay off the Debt and
Build a New House on the
Water Front.
WILL ISSUE BONDS.
Matter was Discussed at Length at Meet
ing of the Members Enthusiastic over
the Itea-N0 Action was takenl Concern
ing New Building but all agreed improve
ments we're Desired.

At the regular meeting of the Rari-
tan Yacht Club, held last night, the
subject of new building was dis.
cussed for the first time. The mem
bers have not decided to erect new
structure, and some are inclined to
think that the present quarters, with
a little improvement in interior furn-
ishings would be good enough. The
matter was discussed informally and
while no definite actiont was taken
at the meeting, it is evident that the
idea is growing and it is probable
that before another season rolls around
some definite action in this regard
NAV be taken.
The proposition was discussed when
the matter of selling bonds was taken
up. At present there is small debt
on the club and it is proposed to wipe
this out by issuing bonds of So each
to be sold to the members. The
money raised in this way will be used
to clear the club and have the debt
entirely among the membership.
These bonds will be matured, one or
more every month until all the mem
bers are reimbursed.
This scheme has only been started
and already many of the bonds have
been Sold. They bear per cent. in
tefest The idea is that when the
debt has been wiped out to put up a
new building on the present site. To
have it of two stories, the first to be
exclusively for boats, bathers, with
lockers and such like, while the Sec
ond floor would be devoted more to
the social sides with pool and billiard
room, game room and reception hall.
Some of the members are quite en-
thusiastic over the project and claim
that within short time they could
double the membership.

intention to build new school house
at State street and harrison place ana
keep the Westminster for educational
purposes such as museum, literary
societies, and the like.
Mr.. Bruen expressed desire to sell
the whole property at once, not want
ing to cut it up. 1t was evident
from his remarks that the heirs were
holding back for the city as several
real estate syndicates had offered to
take the whole property. The COM
mittee anxiously awaits the reply to
their proposition.

DRUM FISH APPEAR
FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN SEVERAL YEARS.
One was Caught South Shore Tuesday M Osteen Hope
IS the the Last of hem-Fish Destroy Oysterbeds and
Cause Much LosWere here Several Years Aqo but Left Sud-
denly and have not Been Seen Since ~

Walter Mundy, of South Amboy,
caught the first drum fish that has
been seen in these waters for several
years. The fish, which weighed sixty
pounds, was in his seine which he
hauls on the south shore, Tuesday
night
The drum fish is dreaded by the
oystermen. 1t has a fat head and
lives principally on oysters. A few
years ago these fish came to the local
waters in great numbers and the
oystermen lost many dollars worth of
oysters.
All kinds of schemes were tried to
rid the bay Of them. The most sue
cessful idea was to get large piece
OF iron and attach piece of rope to
1t and fasten shingle on the othe
end of the rope. The iron was sunk
in the vicinity of the oyster beds,
carrying the shingle below the sur
face. The drum fish, like all other
big fish, will not go near anything
that is moving, always waiting until
it is quiet. AS the tide kept the
shingles moving backward and for
ward the fish were scared off.
The oystermen who remember the
time when they infested the bay, saA
that they went away as quick as they
came, and they can assign no reason
for it. All of the oystermen are
hoping for the best which is that the
drum fish will not make it's appear
aece in any numbers, for if it should.
the oysteri2en would reap but little
profit this season
AS this is thsNSrst appearaSSe of
the fish in the bay Rs oyster9 ~
be on their guard and st the first 49,
of any more coming here, action will
be taken to drive them away. Tuck
erton oJstermen, in South Jersey, had
hard battle with the drum fish last
year. The fish nearly ruined their
oyster beds and dynamite was explod-
ed in the water to drive them away.

JUST LIKE GROWN.UPS.
Students at Blu ckhann0n Behave Like
Real College Men.

Students at the M. f. Seminary
at Buckhannon had warm time of
it Friday morning, according to the
reports received from that famous
seat of learning. There was a clash
between the members OF the Junior
and Senior classes, and as a result
some OF the students who intended
starting for home ON the early morn
ing train, failed to catch it and had
to wait for later one.
The Junior Saturday morning
about one o'clock nailed a flag to a
tall flag pole near the railroad depot
which stated in glazing letters that
the Senior aggregation was ready
for the graveyard. Three hours
afterwards Seniors appeared on the
scene, and one of the number with
the aid OF pole climbers climbed to
the top of the pole, and tore the
Junior flag from the staff.
AT train time Friday morning stu
dents to the number of three hun
bred and more gathered at the depot.
Members of the Senior class mount
ed the top of the freight station and
waved the Junior flag they had
taken from the pole Then tearing
it into small pieces they stamped on
it. The members of the Junior
class then exhibited another flag,
and rush was made for it by the
Seniors, and as the train pulled out
the two classes were battling for the
bit of bunting.

TOO MUCH SANTIEICATION.
From This Kind of Religion, o Lord,
Deliver Us.

The Baptist Banner contains an
editorial full of some good thoughts
on sanctification and honesty. The
paper is religious organ and there
can be no harm in re-printing the
following:
We have just been notified by a
West Virginia postmaster that GER
tain good Sister has refused to take
her paper from the office. The rea-
son assigned is that she has joined
the "sanctificationists" Upon in
vestigation we find that she owes
for about one and one half years on
her subscription. We have no par
ticular objection to our readers
getting sanctified," but we do wish
they would pay up their subscription
before they reach such a state of
holiness. In fact we have very lit
tie confidence in any religion that
allows person to take paper for
two or three years without even
paying postage on it, and then re-
fuse to take it from the office with
out paying u, arrears and asking
that it be discontinued. A religious
person ought to be honest, and we
have always thought sanctified
person should be, but it seems we
have been mistaken.
