came that an lballau uau uuiueteu LIS
wife. Crowds rushed to South Glassboro
and surrounded the house at the
corner of Union street and the old
glass works switch, where the M
jured woman was, and several started
in chase Of the assailant. The true story OF
the murderous assault is as follows -
Thursday morning, Merri Ammo Challe, OF
761 AIontrose street, Philadelphia, came to
Glassboro to visit relatives. In the after
noon, Dan Pero Challe came down and was
met at the station by his wife, While on
their way from the depot, Dan told Merrio
Ammo that he had packed their goods and
they were at Philadelphia station waiting
to be shipped here. This enraged his wife
who said she does not like the place, and
they quarreled. Shortly after this Challe
asked if he could not carry the baby, and
was refused, so thought he would take it,.
Blows followed words and he cut her
seriously with a razor which he had in his
pocket. His reason is that when she gets
mad she has fits, and he thought he would
stop it, and scratched her with razor.
Mrs. Challe was knocked down by him
before he fled through corn field across
the railroad tracks. She and the baby
were taken home by young Italian in the
UdIby. OliCSl A1tf ptu 1HS H. LU1ADRAy

ChaIle, and the doctor dressed the wounds.
After about an hours chase he was caught
and landed in Jail. The woman was cut
from beneath the right ear TO her nose into
the bone, aud her left arm badly cut. She
was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital,
Philadelphia, on the eight o'clock train.

court room was crowded. Tony Libritz
interpreted the statements for the court, and
the fellow said that he was not guilty.
Officer Martin displayed the bloody cloth
ing taken off the woman, and the razor
taken from him. Witnesses told of seeing
him knock her down and hearing some Of
the quarrel. Magistrate committed him to
the Woodbury. jail without bail to wait the
results of his wife's injuries, and the sitting
Of the Grand Jury.
Walter Jones, of Bridgeton, was run
over by the midnight freight Saturday
morning. and is lying in the Cooper Hos
pital, Camden, his recovery being almost an
impossibility. Jones came to Glassboro to
visit an uncle Friday morning. In the
evening he drank freely and laid down on
the railroad switch leading from the main
station to the freight depot, and went to
sleep. The midnight freight backed in as
usual, and the fellow was not seen until
several ears had passed over him. DR..
Luffbarry was summoned who had the
injured man taken to the hospital on a
special train. His arm and shoulder were
crushed, and his body and head were cut
and bruised. Physicians entertain but
little hope of his recovery.
At the regular meeting of the township
committee held last week, it was decided
that all back door visitors floating around
the town should be fined or put to work.
The following morning John Shannon, Of
Hammonton was found and taken before

las was the verdict of the court and
weary Johnie'' took the days. He is
working under Supervisor Souder on the
roads and sleeps in the lookup at night
His time will expire next Saturday night

Mrs. Dianna Fowler was brought to
Glassboro from the Samaritan Hospital,
Philadelphia Monday. Mrs. Fowler is a
sister Of James McFadden and is at his res
idence. She is. somewhat improved in
health and we hope that she may soon be
well again.
The Glassboro Athletics defeated the
Clayton Juniors in an interesting contest
Wednesday afternoon. The game was
almost of professional calibre, as errors
were few and far between. Smith and
Nash were the battery for the visitors,
while Dare Brown and Abbott did all the
important work for the locals. The score
was, Glassboro, 6; Clayton, 5.
We are very glad to state that daily re-
ports brought to Glassboro are that Richard
Doughty, the engineer of the Cape May
express which was wrecked at Woodbury.,
is improving. A physician at the Cooper
Hospital said that one hundred and fifty
persons called at the Hospital Saturday, to
ask concerning Mr.. Doughty, which tells Of
his prominence and the manner he is
thought of here. May he soon recover.
