HE cR q L: SONG.

From the New York Sun.
From wild grasses oyerripe.
From the starllt meadows near,
Hear the hosts Of crtckets pipe
shadowy music, thin and clear.
In the silver mesh are caught
Echoes eerle and aloof,
Strains of sweet familiar thought,
Summer rains upon the roof.
Something in'the haunting rhyme
Lures US tdan elfin quest;
Some where in the ceaseless chime
Is a spell that lulls to rest.
Intimate and alien. too,
In your small life's dewy round
Have you touched the cobweb clue
BY which you and we are bound?

We're having jolly time going on

WAS KILLED WHILE
WALKING ON TRACK.
Peter BalCha, Eighteen Years Old
Was Horribly Mang|ed by a
Lehigh Valley Coal Train.
He WAS BURIED TODAY.
Whole Train Passed Over Him..
TOwerman Heard the Humping
and Made an Investigation.

Peter Balcha, eighteen years old,
of Ellendale Heights, was killed by
q Lehigh Valley coal train at about
II O'Clock Saturday night, at the
Pennsylvania crossing.
From what can be learned it is
thought that Balcha was walking the
tracks at the time of the accident and
did not hear the approaching train,
which caused his death. Justice
Marcus Stricken viewed the body and
gave the necessary permit for it's re-
novel to Thomas r. Burke's estab-
lishment on State street, Coroner
Bishop being out of town at the
time.
The body was horribly mangled
the entire freight train having pass
ed over it. A man in the signal tow
er nearby heard the humping of the
trucks as they passed over the man,
and after the train had passed by,
made a search along the tracks, and
discovered the corpse.
The funeral was held at the home
at o'clock this morning, interment
being in the st. Mary's cemetery.

LABOR DAY OBSERVED
HERE AS NEVER BEFORE
Great Labor Union Parade Was
Watched by Thousands Who
Lined the Route.
RESORTS WERE JAMMED.
Three ParadeS Were Features Of
Day--Many Enjoyed Holiday
on the Water.

Labor day was we'll observed by
Perth Amboyans both in town and at
resorts in this part of the country.
Three parades with bands gave the
old town martial mien, and several
outings at outlying groves provided
holiday diversions for many. The
water attracted hundreds on yacht
ing and fishing excursions and Boyn-
ton Beach was the mecca of thou
sands, afternoon and evening.
The parade of the labor unions
was the feature of the day in town. 1t
started about 1 o'clock and travers-
ed the leading streets, along the
curbs of which had gathered thou
sands to view the procession. Four
large brass bands furnished the mu-
sic, among them Bollschweiler's I'm
ion band, of this city, in natty uni
forms of white trousers and dark
coats. The parade was headed by
Chief Burke and squad of police
men. After the marshals on horse
back marched the visiting New
Brunswick unions. Railway was also

union had large representation of
a cigar borne aloft. The union men
marched well and were greeted by
cheers and applause at various points
along the route. A handsome terra
Gotta arch on draped wagon was
feature.
They arrived at Union Grove about
noon and enjoyed an outing. There
was an abundance of refreshments
and the various committees provided
bountifully for the entertainment OF
their guests.
The Greek Catholics had a large
number of men in line in their par
ade early in the morning, many out
of town visitors accompanying them.
There were services in the church in
Broad street and at the cemetery.
They had band in the parade.
The italian Mutual Benefit Society,
with large number in line and ac-
companied by a thirty-piece Italian
band, of New York, paraded on sew
eral streets and then marched to the
Summit hotel and pavilion, where an
outing was enjoyed
The number of people from sur
rounding places at Boynton Beach
yesterday afternoon and last night
broke records and there were few not
sorry to realize the end of the sea-
son at this renowned resort.
Hundreds of local people went to
Bellewood Park via the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad and to Midland and
South Beaches by the S. |. r. T. The
of persons at the Staten Is
land ferry house last evening, coming
and going, showed how wide was the
excursion spirit among residents of
this city.

Recent Decision Says Police
Have No Power Under the
FrSIinghuysen Act.
LEFT TO FOUR MEN ONLY
Whole Purpose of the New Motor
Law Defeated, Is the Claim of the
EnthusiaSts-The Four State In
spectOPs Have the Power to Stop
An Automobile and Demand That
License BE Shown Confusion.

TRENTON, Sept. 4.-More wide
reaching than was at first supposed,
even by those who knew it best, the
recent decision of Commissioner
Smith, head of the department of mo-
tor vehicles, that ordinary police Of
ficers and constahles have no right to
stop motorist and demand either
his personal license or his car license
card, let alone arresting him for re-
fusal to do so, bids fair to defeat the
whole purpose of the automobile
law During the last week autoists
all over the state have begun to real
ize the full meaning of the decision,
while the police officials are seriously
disturbed at the prospect of having
absolutely no power to enforce one of
the most fundamental provisions of
the whole Frelinghuysen act
The meaning of this ruling is now
evident. An automobilist may place
a fictitious number on his car, paint
it on his lamps and apparently COM
ply in all other respects with the law
and then ride forth with comparative
safety from detection. For all the
thousands of motor cars in daily op-
GRAFTON in the state there are only
four men who have the authority to
ask for a mans license, and of these
of these four, all are not daily on the
road.
AS the law now stands the New
Jersey automobile situation is made
more chaotic than ever. Honest mo-
torists feel that it is manifestly un-
fair to them that the law makes it
own evasion so easy, while the police
officers those who have been just in
their enforcement of the law-are
troubled at the effects of the decision.

STEAMER MONMOUTH
HAD A BROKEN SHAFT.

The Jersey Central's Sandy Hook
fiier Monmouth twisted off her star
board tail shaft while passing the
battery Saturday night, and as a re-
suit folk who came home from the
Jersey coast resorts on her yesterday
were badly delayed.
The. ship spent Sunday night in
dry dock at the Morse Iron Works
in South Brooklyn, but the broken
shaft had jammed, and it proved i'm
possible to make temporary repairs,
or even to remove the starboard
screw. The company, however, felt
that the Monmouth, with one leg,
was better than no boat, so the for
mer queen of the bay llmped painful
ly over her course all day yesterday
under her port engines, dragging the
dead wheel through the water.

No Question But that MiddIesex
Man Will be Renamed at
Convention.
WHO WILL OPPOSE HIM /?
Mr.. Howell Has Now Represented
This District for Twelve Years and
Has Defeated Some of the Leading
DemocPats-Does Not Take Sides
MiddleseX County-What Robert
Carson Says About denomination

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 4.-The
positive assurance has been expressed
that Congressman Benjamin f. How
ell, of Middlesex, will be renominated
to succeed himself by the Third dis
trict republicans, which comprises
the counties of Middlesex, Monmouth
and Ocean. Some doubt existed for
a time as to whether he would seek a
return to congress, as he is now clos
ing his sixth term, or twelfth year,
as a representative in the lower
house.
But, it is said, that the leaders of
the respective counties have decided
that Mr.. Howell is the strongest and
most desirable candidate, and thus
his nomination and subsequent cleo
ton for a seventh term seems cer-
tain. This procedure does not neces-
sarily that the district has no other
available candidates, willing to risk a
congressional contest. but as Mr..
Howell has proved a valuable official
having consistently looked after the
welfare of his constituents, it is
claimed that he will poll a larger ma
/ jority this fall than he did in 1904.
Robert Carson, collector of the
port at Perth Amboy, chief lieutenant
of the congressman, when asked
about the matter, said:
Most assuredly, Mr. Howell will
be renamed for congress. There is,
and has not been, any doubt about it.
He has rendered excellent service and
no opposition has been manifested
against his denomination. Some have
claimed that he leans toward the Col
by movement in MiddleseX.
This is not so, except to the ex-
tent that he is friendly to both sides,
for the reason that his constituents
are numbered among them"
The movement to rename Mr.
Howell has blasted the hope of the
democracy hereabouts. He has de-
feated the best men that the opposi-
ton could produce. Jacob A. Geiss-
heimer, of Monmouth, was defeated
by Howell, in 1894, by a plurality
of 1876. Patrick Convery, of Perth
Amboy, gave Mr.. Howell a closer
brush in 1898, the latter winning by
729 votes.
Two years ago, Mr.. Howell defeat
ed Mr.. Otis, democrat, by plurality
of 3,09S. 1t is known that the demo-
Gratis will have considerable difficulty
in naming a candidate who will be
willing to contest the election with
the present congressman. The strong
est man the opposition can nominate
in the district is former State Sena-
tor James II. Van Cleef, of Middlesex
but he will not enter the contest.

RAGING THE FEATURE.
w. S. Van Clief Delivered the Open
ing Address-Estimate That H.
600 People Were Presentation
gram Given and Other Events Fol
lowed - Buildings Filled With
Beautiful Samples of Handicraft.

The second annual county fair of
the Richmond County Agricultural
Society, which opened yesterday af-
ternoon at Dongan Hills, S. l., was a
huge success in every way. When, at
l O'Clock, the hour set for the open
ing of the fair, arrived, and a heavy
downpour of rain threatened to ne
cessitate the calling off for the day of
the program, there was great disap-
pointment manifested by officials and
visitors as well, but the sun soon
broke through the clouds and when,
at 2 o'clock, Mr.. w. S. Van Clief
arose in his private box and delivered
his opening address, there were fully
twelve thousand persons on the grand
stands and grounds.
Mr. Van Clief thanked the people
of Staten Island for their patronage
and promised greater things on each
succeeding occasion. The band struck
up "The Star Spangled Banner" and
the county fair of 1906 was open.
The first event on the program was
vaudeville act, which was followed
by track event, and this order was
carried out through the day. At in
tervals during the afternoon bombs
were fired in the air, which, explod-
ing, showered thousands of minia-
tn American flags on the specta-
tors. At one time during the track
events, it looked as though there
would be stampede, and the mount
ed police were obliged to make a fly
ing dash into the crowds to drive
them back from the track.
Hundreds tried to cross from the
enclosure on one side of the track,
to that on the other side, and the po-
lice, in command of Captain Crowley,
at the order of Inspector Schmittber-
ger, drove them back.
The halls contained specimens of
women's work, educational exhibits
by the pupils of the public schools,
manufacturers, business men, farm
ers and other exhibits. In numerous
tents We're shown vegetables, flowers,
farm and garden implements, OF the
latest pattern, wagons, harness, car
riages and other articles usually seen
at county fairs. Numerous side
shows were given.
The fence around the track was
lined with horses and carriages OF
every description, from the smart
trap to the old fashioned carryall.
Special trains of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railroad landed great
numbers ut special station on the
fair grounds. The trolleys were OPP
Grated on a three miunte headway
and carried many people.
Many prominent men were present,
including all the borough and coun-
ty officials and many others The
track events were the principal at
traction.
