HICKS UPON
AUGUST WEATHER,

In discussing weather probabilities
for the month, Rev. Irl Hicks, of st.
Louis, says:
The whole month of August will
feel more or less the influence of the
equinox of the planet Mars. The
storm diagram shows the Mars dis
turbance to be central on the 2Oth, ex-
tending from the last of July, we'll
into September. We have frequently
referred to the fact that the Mars in
f1uence always tends to fix and per-
petuate any weather conditions that
may exist at the time of entering his
equinoctial periods. If at the en-
trance of Mars period it is dry and
warm, it is safe to say that the same
kind OF weather will largely predomi-
nate until this period is past If we
come well into Mars period with
tendency to wet and stormy weather,
look for predominence of such
weather for several weeks. And SO,
through all the seasons of the year, it
is proven fact that the kind of phe-
nomena prevailing at the beginning of
Mars period, is almost sure to be
prolonged during the life of that
period. The regular storm period will
not be obliterated, but the disturbance
at these regular times will be modi-
fed or aggravated in the direction of
existing conditions when the Mars
period was entered. Hence, if the
present case is not an exception to
the rule, we may expect, in the main,
the kind of weather existing.the last
week in July, throughout August and
into September. Study the Mars
brace in the storm diagram for these
three months.
He is of the opinion that there will
be some local rains, but taken as
whole the month will not get a very
great share of rain. The heated term
of the month will possibly ensue from
the 18th to the 10Th. He thinks tLat
there will be rain from the 18th to
18th

Jail For Runaway s.Hubbies.o

Jail For Runaway s'Hubbies.'
Trenton, N. J. August 3.-One year
in States prison, or 800 fine, or both
is the penalty now imposed by law
upon recreant Jersey husbands who
wilfully desert their wives and chill
dren and go out of the State to escape
the responsibility of caring for their
families.
sPrevious to the last session of the
Legislature it was customary for a
deserted wife to go before the Poor
Master and make charge of non
support against her husband, on which
he was hauled before the Recorder. if
he could be found, and was held to
bail to pay his wife sum generally
varying from So to $5 week for her
support.
If hescould not furnish the necessary
bond he was sent to Jail, and after
being held there for a week or two
paid some lawyer s5 or $40 to secure
his release, aud that was an end of the
matter. The lawmakers at the last
session of the Legislature decided
that a new law was needed that would
carry with it a penalty severe enough
to frighten men who would not ordi-
narily support their families and also
make the offense one that was extra
ditable. so that man in New Jersey
could not go to New York and Penn
sylvania and then laugh at his starv-
ing wife and deserted children. The
law making desertion misdemea nor
was then passed.
Several cases are pending in differ
emit portions of the State, and there
are indications that. the State PRISONS
quota will shortly be augmented by
reoreant husbands.

Assaulted His Wife.

William Coombs was given hear
ingson Tuesday before Mayor Hamp-
ton, charged with assaulting his wife.
The story is as follows: Last Sunday
afternoon his wife was at Gouldtown
and in the afternoon was attending
the quarterly meeting at the Gould
town church. After the meeting she
was going to her aunt's to supper and
started up the road with another
man. Coombs came up on his wheel
and asked her where she was going
and when she told him he knocked her
down and she brought complaint
against him. He was held in one
hundred dollars bail to keep the peace,
in default of which he went to jail. !.

Some Surprising Information.

DoHIe surprising information.
For the week ending Thursday, July
30, there was shipped from one station
on the West Jersey Railroad, that at
Swedesboro, 110, 800 crates of toma-
toes, filling 1873 box cars. There are
two other large shipping stations on
the road between Swedesboro and
Woodbury., a distance of ten miles be-
side the creeks and river fronts, on
which truck boats are plying night
and day. The sweet potato crop will
follow that of the tomatoes, and the
census reports show that Gloucester
county produces more sweet potatoes
than all the rest of the United States.

Fire Alarm Turned In.

An alarm of fire was turned in from
the box at the Water Department Sat-
urday afternoon, and the firemen
were prompt in answering the call.
The cause for the alarm was a slight
fire in the house of Thomas McDon-
aid, on Elm street. A little boy was
playing upstairs and threw lighted
match in the closet. Some clothing
caught fire. Mrs. Donald, hearing
her sons screams. rushed upstairs
and herself put out the fire before the
department. arrived. There was but
little damage.

The basis of representation is fixed
upon the vote for Governor two years
ago. The representation for County
and City Conventions is one delegate
for each one hundred votes for the
respective party candidates and dele
gate for fraction over 40. Delegates
are elected in each precinct, and the
election district casting the greatest
party vote has the greatest represen-
tation.
The last Republican County Con-
vention was made up of one hundred
and nineteen delegates. This year
the Convention will be but a little
more than half as large. with Bridge
ton having the largest representation.
Lands and Millville together now
will have twenty three delegates, four
more combined than has Brideeton.
Maurice River has three delegates,
which gives that part of the county
east OF the Maurice river twenty-six
votes, or five less than majority, it
taking thirty-one delegates for a
choice.
Bridgeton with its nineteen dele
gates. and the five of the three west
ern townships, Hopewell, Stow Greek
and Greenwich, would muster %
votes in the Convention. Seven more
delegates would be necessary for q
choice.
All of this will make very inter-
esting Convention, and with the long
primaries free from all interference
will have to be reckoned with by can
didates.
The Democratic Convention will be
but mere handful when compared
with the big Conventions of the past.
Last fall the Democratic Convention
was made up of eight delegates from
each of the thirty-three precincts, or
1854 mall, and 1873 votes were neces-
sary to make nomination. This fall
the Democratic Convention will have
80 delegates, making twenty votes
necessary for choice. In the thirty
three precincts of the county, but five
precincts have more than a single
delegate. Bridgeton will have eleven
votes in the Convention, while Mill
vile will have but six.
The LEADERS, of both parties will
have to do lot of figuring upon the
new conditions, and it will be pretty
much all conjecture anyhow until the
first primary under the new law has
been held.

Dull at the Seashore.

The seashore business is not likely
to prove record breaker owing.-to the
weather conditions that have pre-
vailed since July 1. The two rail-
roads are carrying about as many pas
sengers as usual to the seaside, but in
Atlantic City hundreds of the cot
tages are not more than half filed.

Tuesday Morning.

Court was continued on Tuesday,
the case of Charles Opperman being
taken up. This is another appeal
case, Opperman having been fined by
a Justice of the Peace for Sunday
selling. The evidence was practically
the same as that of the Cohen case,
the testimony being given by the
same witnesses as testified in the
other case. Charles E. Sheppard rep
resenting the Law and Order League
looked after the prosecution. The
case is still on.

SUNDAY SELLING
IN THE COURT

1t was wearisome day in Court
Monday, and the tired feeling con.
tinued Tuesday.1
Almost the entire days session was
taken up with the cases that Moses
Cohen, the tobacconist, had appealed
from Justice Cartons Court. Cohen
was arrested last winter charged with
selling tobacco on Sunday, and JUS
tlce Carton imposed a fine. Cohen
appealed the cases to the Common
Pleas Court.
Charles E. Sheppard was in the
cases representing the Law and Order
League. the complaints having been
made by William Bentley. James So
Ware was counsel for the defendant.
The evidence upon the part of the
complainant was that Cohen made
sales upon Sunday, December 14th.
The direct testimony was presented
by Charles Sniffen and Joseph James.
Both declared they had gone to
Oohen's and bought tobacco upon
these dates. Upon the 14th they
bought the cigars direct from Mr..
Cohen and on the week previous they
bought them from lady whom they
did not know.
Both these witnesses admitted that
they had procured the tobacco to OBJ
tain evidence against Cohen.
Mr.. Ware endeavored to obtain a
non-suit in both cases but was over.
ruled by the Court.
The evidence of Mr.. and Mrs. Cohen
was positively denial of the story
told by the complainant's witnesses.
Mr.. Cohen said that after the warning
published in the newspapers last win
ter to stop Sunday selling ne did SO.
and has not since sold. He did not
know whether or not the two men
mentioned were in his store, for
his store was opened on the 14th for
the purpose of receiving visitors. On
the 18th, the defendants testimony was
that the store was locked up at the
very time the witnesses said they
made the purchases, both Mr.. and
Mrs. Cohen being away.
This ended the case, and the de-
cision was reserved.

It was not political, but it asked him
to attend the mining congress in Lead,
S. D., next September. The plate was
not big enough to eat a dinner from,
as it measured two and three-fourths
by five inches, but it was large enough
to show what kind of gold the Black

1t is also hard to see how they could be
much benefited by. it. If the state did
not do this work the Washington Irriga-
ton company would have to, so 1t seems
to us that both shares are directly or In
directly brought into one bank account.
AS to our objections on the ground that
the water right contracts with the WASH
ington Irrigation company are defective,
we state as fact that can very easily be
proven to the entire satisfaction OF any
disinterested party that the contract
amount Of water is insufficient and that
all irrgators are absolutely dependent on
the favor Of the Washington Irrigation
company for the necessary amount.
which favor is frequently not granted and
that no longer ago than the past summer.
Were it the intention OF the Washington
Irrigation company to continue to supply
the necessary amount they could have no
objection to making 1t matter of legal
contract rather than favor. subject to

are inevitable and are due to the nat
ure of the soil and no amount of care can
entirely prevent their recurrence.
Even more the greater pressure and
erosion of water adds to the certainty as
well as the greater volume adds to the
damage from them. If you were here you
could see some of the damage wrought
