Woodbridge
FlREMEN's PARADE.

The convention of the fire companies
held at Pennington, Thursday, WINS
largely attended. Crack companies
from all over the State, to the aggre-
gate of 1000 men took part in tho

of the prettiest in our State, was pro
fusely decorated In the usual manner
with flags and arches.
The Woodbridge Fire Company No.

line and was the best organization, so
far as military bearing and fine
marching was concerned. In passing
the arch, where the crowd of speota.

National Guard regiment have att
tanned equal proficiency. Three drills
were all the Woodbridge boys had in
the preparation Of this most credit
able performance. The town should
be proud of its fire company and do
all in it's power to encourage the men,
who show by their devotion to the
organization and their almost perfect
discipline that they are capable of
even better things.
The Turnout was six officers and
forty.eight men, the others being left
to protect the town in base of fire.

REFUSE TO
GIVE UP HOME.
Sheriff After One Of The Old
Landmarks on Staten
Island.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Crocheron, last of
a proud race, penniless, all but starving,
defended by an aged servant, also faint
from lack of food, today defies the law to
evict her from her ancestral home. The
courts have decreed that it does not be-
long to her, but no power on earth will
ever convince her that her title is no
more.
Associations of more than two CEN
claim to that estate at New Springville,
in the interior of Staten Island, four
miles or thereabout from Port Richmond,
where seventy-three years ago she was
born. She maintains that it is her right
to die beneath the roof where the end
came to all whom she held dear. She
site at one of the windows of the barri-
caded house, hoping against hope that
some turn of fortune will leave her in the
place until she needs an earthly home no
longer.
Every winow is covered with barred
shutters, the doors are double locked,
and axe and sledge must make way for
those who would disposses the descendant
of Sieur Jean de la Crocheron. The law
delays. Although all the necessary papers
are made out, the Sheriff has not re-
seived the final orders, and the owner of
the property ..hesitates for fear that the
excitement of an eviction may give to
this life drama it's catastrophe.
Those who know Staten Island are
familiar with the story'of.the Crocherons.
The founder of the American branch of
The family belonged to a race which
traces its origin back for centuries. The
house of de la Crocheron sent its SONS to
he a in France and they won honors
on many a battlefield. Others served the
State in various positions. Jean de la
Crocheron became II Huguenot, and after
the revocation of the edict of Nantes he
was marked for execution. Learning of
the danger in which he was placed he
made his way in disguise to Marseilles,
md was concealed by friends in a wine
cask and placed on board a vessel bound
for the New World. He reached this
country in 1855 and established himself
on Staten Island.

R~OsE-cAMPBELL TRIAL.

The trial of Charles Rose and William
Campbell comes off today in New Bruins
wick. MI. Campbell refused to settle the
case out of court because he thought the
charge made by Mr.. Rose would always
cling to him if he did so, and in effect
would be as good as an acknowledgement
on his part to the truth of it. Mr.. Camp
bell has always been a mai of excellent
reputation and not only as TO character
and family, but also as to means was
above such. petty thievery, as he was ac-
used of. The wonder of those who have
known both families as old residents
here, is that Mr.. Rose would take the
word of the party who made such a
charge and act on it. He might as well
have accused somebody across the seas OF
the act, as to have accused one of the
Campbell's who own property that Their
father before them ownel in this town
and who did not need the harness which
was all the time lying under something
in Mr.. Roses barn.

FALL OPENING.

Max kaufman has reason to be proud
of the improvements made to his store.
The handsome large windows were
dres ied by a professional window dresser
from New York City, for the opening
sale, Saturday, when souvenirs were to
lie given to customers.
Cue merchants are certainly doing
everything to make their stores attrac-
tive and pleasing to the people and it is
to be hoped that their efforts will be APP
preciated and that the people in return
for their efforts will give them their
trade instead of to outiders. Is it not
fair that a fair share of the money earned
in this town should be spent here?

To Be Depended On
Because It Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated.

A stranger lost in large city would
place far more dependence on the d.
rections given him by a local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is q natural conse-
( quence of experience; it's like a ship
N a strange port-a trusty pilot 4arni-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings. So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
distant point because we can't investi-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon. for it's
an easy matter to prove II. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. F. Williams of this city. Is a
lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
position for the last 80 years. He says.
