DRY WEATHER IN
JERSEY CITY
Many Persons Fled From
Yesterdays Drought to
Beaches and Summer
Resorts.
LID WAS ON TIGHT
Chiefs Order to His Captains
to Enforce the Excise Laws
Was Rigidly Followed
LID WAS On TIGHT

It was unusually dry in this city
yesterday. 4 great many people hedthe
city for the river, ocean and country
breezes and many addicted to refreshing
beverages concocted only ii liquid empo-
riums anticipating 'drouth' joined the
exodus. That the excise law would be
severely enforced was the conclus:on
that many drew on reading Of Thursday
nights action of rhe Police Board in put
ting it up to Chief of PoliceMurphy for
the enforcement of all laws and holding
him personally. responsible. That neither
the chief nor his captains, under the cir
eumstances would take any chances,
was natural conclusion. The chief is
sued an order Saturday night to the cap
tains holding them to a strict account for
the observance Of the Sunday laws. The
excise law was enforced mbre rigidly
than for many Sundays past. Seven ar
rests for selling liquor on Sunday We're
made. These were mainly fsaloonkeepers
who, taking chances, eyen dispensed beer
in cans. President James Wayiett of
the Liquor Dealers Association, whose
saloon is located at Jersey avenue and
First street, was arrested Saturday as
disorderly person. When Policeman
Mcnamara told him that he would have
to obey the Sunday law he used threat-
ening language and was arrested as a
.disorderly person. His bartender, Thom-
as Jackson, who interfered, was also ar
rested. Both were released on bail
-Four Of the arrests for violation Of the
Sunday excise law We're made in the Sec
ond precinct. They were those Of Eliz-
abeth Huget, Of No. 419 Monmouth
street, Joseph Gagliardi. No. 524 Nom
mouth street; Charles Longhagen. No. 66
Morris street, and James ]. Dean, of No.
123 Cole street. James Hickey. Deans
bartender, was arrested for interfering
with Parroiman Fennessy. Two arrests
We're made III the Sixth precinct. The
prisoners were Herman Harder, No. 400
Palisade avenue, and Antoine Larson,
No. 1925 Summit avenue. Daniel Mur-
ply, a bartender Of No. 90 Harrison
avenue, was the only one arrested for
selling liquor on Sunday in the Fourth
precinct Tie prisoners We're all bailed.
The hearing was postponed until to-mor-
row morning
Bnt the Sunday excise law was not the
only law enforced. Baseball playing on
vacant lots was suppressed, even the
scheduled games by players of st. Brid-
gets and ST. Johns Catholic churches,
who have been accustomed to playing
Sunday games on their own grounds.
Much Indignation was expressed by both
players and spectators and there is talk
of retaliation by insisting on the enforce
ment of the old blue laws.

The regent rains and the appearance
<of quantities of insects in the districts
where the trout streams abound. have
proven a Godsend to lovers of fly fishing.
The past week has been one Of the best
of the year for those who delight to whip
the streams.
one.of the largest catches Of the week
was made at shohola Brook, Shohola,
Pa, Where a string Of 80 was landed,
the largest weighing pound and a half
with the average weight of y pound.
At Beaver Kill and Half Way Brook,
both near shohola. strings of % and 25
were landed BY lucky fishermen, the
largest fish being one weighing IA
pounds taken from Bear Brook. At
Woodbury. Falls. on the Newburgh Short
Cut Railroad, lucky New York broker
landed one weighing 11a pounds, while
his string of II averaged 10 ounces.
From tine Kill, near OtlsYiiie, on the
Erie Road, one fisherman got string Of
40 which averaged a4 of a pound, the
largest weighing only pound.
In both Sands Greek and Beaver Kill
the fish are biting freely though running
small. The Erie Station agent reported
that a party Of four last Monday had
their ereels filed with good sized fish,
but they had no opportunity to weigh
them. The brooks are in fine condition
at Nawowsburgh and that there are
plenty Of fish is evidenced by the fact
that one angler had - in his creel, with
the best weighing a pound. At Carbon
dale, Pa. usually good fishing locality,
reports show poor fishing on account Of
low water. The fish are jumping at al
most any kind Of fly.
