SAN ANToNIo's GREAT FAIR.
This Year It viii Surpass Az Former
Ones "N

Judge Charles NJ. Barnes, who IL
representing the San Antonio lnterna'
tional Fair which vii. be held from
October % to November 2. was among
the arrivals in Beaumont yesterday
evening. He called on the Enterprise
Il stated that .--.s year will eclipse
al former fairs held in as.
There will be a greater number and
variety of exhibits gathered from all
over Texas and some of them from the
Mexican republic. numerous attrac
tions from all over the United States
have been secured. Among these are
some which have formed interesting
objects at the st. Louis Worlds Fair.
Prominent among the latter are Helen
May Buffers military band and orches-
ira comprised of 60 very pretty women.
Everyone of them is talented must
clan and quite a number of them are
sCloists. This band furnishes superb
melody and will be very popular at
traction at San Antonio.
Pains Fireworks is another of the
attractions which has been drawing
large crowds at the Louisiana Pur-
chase which will be at the San An
tonic Fair during its entire ~ days
season. The destruction of the an
cient city, Pompeii, will be depicted
in a very realistic and vivid manner
which will prove very thrilling.
The railways have granted lower
rates than ever from all Texas points
which will result in securing an UNI
prccedentedly large attendance from
all over the state, Beaumont included,
this city always sending a considerable
contigent to enjoy the sights at the
sunset city's great show The rail
ways have likewise granted $40
RI und trip rate from st. Louis to San
Antonio and return which doubtless
will take a great many visitors to San
Antonio and other Texas cities, these
visitors coming from many of the
northern and eastern states.
While here Mr.. Barnes called on the
Chamber of Commerce and in the
name of the directory of the San An
tonic International Fair Association
vited the business men of Beaumont
through the Chamber of Commerce to
pace an exhibit of the manufactures
and Industries of Beaumont at the San
antonio InternauOna. Fair. This will
afford an opportunity of advertising
Beaumont of which the Chamber of
Commerce should avail itself.
There are many manufactures and
industries here which need such eX-
pl0tatiOn. No better place i'm Texas
could be chosen than the San Antonio
Fair.

RULES FOR CAR PER DIEM.
No Radical Changes to Be Reported
to American Railway Association.

to American Railway Association.
It is understood that no radical
changes in the present per diem rules
and the rules governing the use and
detention of freight cars will be re-
ported to the American Railway AS
ISOLATION at its next semi.annual meet
ing. Last winter there was talk OF
increasing the perdiem and penalty
charges, but nothing was proposed at
the spring meeting. At present these
charges are 90 cents a day and 81 n
day per car after 80 days.
In the beginning, the substitution of
per diem for mileage was an expert
ment. II has since proved the merit
of the change. An advancement in
the charges was urged during the ex-
detrimental period. The system Is
now regarded as on a permanent foot
ing of operation and it is believed no
further charges will be suggested.
II was suggested recently that the
matter of penalizing a road for hold
ing a car be made automatic instead
Of requiring the owners of the car to
notify the road using the car that Il
had been held the 80 days. II was
desired by some TO make the penalty
effective without any notice. This
was met. however with the statement
tha road should be sufficiently in
terested in its equipment 10 notify an
other road holding its cars. and the
request IN make the penalty autOmat-
r. was turned down.

NO CHAMBERS In TOWN
THOUGH PREVALENT NEARBY

Chambers, dangerous scourage of
horses, has become prevalent in
Newark and throughout Essex and
Hudson Counties. Every effort is be-
ing made by the State Health authori-
ties to gain control over the disease
and in several instances they have
isolated infected stables.
Not in two years has glanders been
reported in Morristown, and then
only three cases developed and they
were cared for at once and an epide
mic prevented. In speaking of the
matter veterinary surgeon said
yesterday that Morristown was for
tunate in this respect, principally be-
cause of the fact that the horses and
stables were watched carefully. The
disease is taken usually from watering
troughs, he said, which infected
horses had used. This was possible
because of discharge from the ami
mails nose. 1t would be well, he
thought, for persons driving to New
ark and thereabouts to exercise care
in stabIing their horses and in water
ing them from troughs along the
roads.

COACHMAN KILLED In
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

A peculiar accident happened Satur-
day night or early Sunday morning on
the back road leading from Whippany
to Madison. James Roach, a groom
of Hubert Hartigan, who as coach
man of Granville w. Garth, president
of Mechanics National Bank, of New
York, gained some publicity at the time
of Mr.. Garth's suicide, was sent from
Hartigan's farm to the Madison sta
tion to meet friends who were coming
on a midnight train. With him went
a farm hand known only as Jim.
When some distance from the house
the horse became frightened, it is be-
lieved, and stumbled into ditch
throwing Roach out of the runabout,
and killing him. When found the
next morning by a little boy, Roach
was under the horse, The animal had
broken both it's hind legs and could
not move.
The stableman's companion, Jim,
went to house after the accident and
asked for Ian tern. While the in
mates werelook. ng for the lantern Jim
disappeared and has not been seen
since.
Coroner Collins was notified and had
the body brought to this city.

RAIN CAUSES ANXIETY.
Water street and Cole Avenue Inun-
dated. Railroad Has Trouble.

Water street and Cole Avenue Inun-
dated. Railroad Has Trouble.
CONSERVATION prevailed among the
inhabitants of Water street Monday
night. The continued rain caused the
Whippany river to rise above Centre
street bridge, throwing the water back
into Water street and flooding the
street.
In several places Italians living near
the river on Water street were obliged
to move their household furnishings
from the first floor to the second. The
water came up to the first story of sew
eral houses.
The railroad bridge near Cole avenue
was again found inadequate to carry
Off the water. A committee of the
Aldermen and Freeholders have had
several meetings with the railroad Of
ficials about the bridge but nothing
has been done.
At the Higgins bridge it was
feared the bridge might give way, and
trains were ordered to run very slowly
over it. Several men were stationed
at the bridge throughout the night.

HUMANE ENGINE COMPANY
ENTERTAINED AT RAILWAY.

Members of Humane Engine Com
pany who went to Railway Tuesday
night to play the return bowling
match with the Franklin Hose Com
pany of that city, report delightful
time.
When the firemen arrived in Rah-
way they were met by the Franklin
Hose headed by a brass band. After
marching through several of the prin-
cipal streets of Railway the visitors
were taken to the bowling alleys.
Humanes won the game by 262 points.
The victory, it is asserted, was due
largely ito the excellent coaching of
"Texas."
Following the bowling match de-
licious supper was served. The HUI
name boys were also treated to a high
classed vaudeville entertainment.

VICECHAECEIlOR OR EMERY
HEARS PARTITION SUIT

NapN \ sA1A y ~ !
An interesting case was heard by
Vice Chancellor Emery in the court
house in this city on Tuesday Mrs.
White, widow of James A. White, of
Dover, brought suit for partition of
lands ia wllicf her infant son, joseph,
had an interest. The land was part
of the estate of Charles White, late of
Dover, who died intestate. After his
death his widow, Mrs. Lydia White,
assumed control of the property and
conducted the business in which her
husband had been engaged during his
lifetime. All
Feeling that their mother was work
ing too hard the children entered into
a verbal agreement with her that she
resign from the responsibility of the
business, but should enjoy the profits
therefrom as long as she lived.
If the court holds THE verbal agree
ment to be valid, the application will
in all probability be denied.
