Washouts on tine central

There were couple of big washouts
on the Central railroad Thursday, so
that the mail, which should have ar.
rived here last night shortly after Z
O'Clock, did not get in until sos this
morning.
The first and largest washout was
between Parkdale and Aldine. The
country there is low and swampy and
the great flood of rain water under
mined the tracks and washed the
roadbed away. The other one, which
was not so large. was about half
mile this side of Lakehurst.
A special was sent up to meet the
incoming train and the passengers
were transferred to 1t, by wading
through mud and water. and brought
on to Bridgeton, and points his side
of the washout. There were some
passengers aboard tor Seeley from
Wilmington the special with those
passengers on arrived at II. 45 last
night and the conductor called up q
team by telephone and had.them sent
out to their destination at Seeley.
Repair gangs were put to work on
the washouts and working like beavers
got the road SO that Conductor George
Warren could bring his train over the
break and get her in here this morn.
ing.
Engineer @. Rhoades said it was so
dark he could not tell how long the
washout had been; he felt his way
carefully along and pulled in at the
Cohansey street station, as stated, at
6. 05 this morning.

AFTER FIVE YEARS
GETS HIS REWARD

salem, Aug. 2.-After delay Of five
years Conductor George Drummond.
Oh the Salem branch of the West Jer-
sey Railroad, has received 500 as his
share Of the Government reward for
the apprehension and conviction of
the Alloway post Office robbers.
In September, 1901, the post office
at Alloway was broken into, the safe
blown open and about 5000 in stamps
and money taken. For some time
previous to that other officers in South
jersey had been robbed probably by
the same person. The G. 1vernm MT
officers went to work on the case an i
offered a standing reward for the ar
rest and conviction of the robber.
Conductor Drummond, VINO at that
time was running the early morning
train from Swedesboro to Woodbury.,
Kept sharp lookout. Two days after
the Alloway robbery two strangers got
on his train as it was about to leave
Swedesboro. The conductor watched
them, and when Woodbury. was reached
he secured two passengers from
Swedesboro to track the men to Phila-
delphia and there cause their arrest.
The two Swedesboro sleuths fol.
lowed one of the men to Philadelphia
and ne was subsequently arrested, and
when searched there was found in a
hand satchel which he carried a large
quantity Of stamps, bottle of nitro.
glycerin and some burglars tools.
The prisoner was brought to New
Jersey and released on bail. He
jumped his bail, however, and as the
reward was only to be paid for his
conviction Mr.. Drummond heard
nothing of it until few days ago,
when the man was again apprehended
and this time convicted and sentenced.
1t was then that the conductor was
notified of his share of the reward,
and last evening Postmaster Miller, of
Salem. by authority of the Post Office
Department, paid the 800 to
Drummond.

Must Leave the Odd Fellows.

In a proclamation just issued by
Wesley B. Stout of Asbury Park,
grand master of this State, subordi
nate lodges are notified that saloon.
Keepers bartenders or professional
gamblers must be expelled from the
order unless they abandon their busi-
ness before August 20 next Some
lodges have been initiating members
on partial payment of fee or on no fee
at all, as Grand Master Stout EN-.
bodied in his proclamation an order
directing all lodges to collect imme,
diately from such initiate or initiates.
He also requests that the lodges recall
any receipt for lodge dues that has
not been an authentic certificate The
grand master threatens to repeal the
charter of any lodge that does not
comply with his orders.
Tt is known that many lodges in the
State do not give the official receipt
and that others have admitted men
who were engaged in the liquor bust.

still continue in the business, while
other members have engaged in the
selling of liquor since uniting with
the fraternity.

Big Funeral.

The funeral of the late John H.
Paullin, brother of William Paullin,
occurring in Philadelphia on Manday,
was very largely attended.
Mr.. Paullin was barber in Phila-
delphia, and very popular, and hun
dreds OF his friends we're present at
the obsequies. A touching incident
was the stopping. down over the casket
by scores of these men and gently
kissing the pale, cold face. Flowers
were in profusion, beautiful designs
sent from friends, many of them be-
ing from this city. The interment
was at beautiful Fernwoo cemetery

ALL CLASSES WERE
MUCH SPLIT UP.

There were fifteen hundred or more
people at the race track Saturday
afternoon and the great sport more
than pleased the patrons.
The officers of the Bridgeton Driv.
ing Association were many times con.
graduated by the people upon the
success Of the meeting which had been
greatly interfered with and postponed
two days by the most wretched
weather possible for the midsummer.
Three of the four races were pulled
of promptly. but each class was split
up and it was dark before the sport of
the afternoon was over, and it was
impossible to startsthe $50 pace.
A great deal of interest was mani
fest in the first class. Lady Bumps,
the Bridgeton mare owned by I. W.
Moore, was quite the favorite, and
she fully justified the expectations of
the talent. In the first two heats she
finished third and fifth respectively,
but in the next three heats reeled off
first place in good fashion. Wheeler
Wilkes looked good in the first two
heats but Lady Bumps showed herself
good one and finished ahead OF the
chestnut stallion handily.
In the other races there were split
heats. The first class, the 2.19 pace,
brought out large field of starters
and the starter had some trouble in
getting the bunch away, but there was
some good sport in every heat.
The 2.27 trot also brought out lot
of starters, and the field furnished
good racing.
There was much enthusiasm all the
time and the music by the band added
to the pleasure Of the public.
The summary.

II is the Laws That Changed.

In 1860 an act was passed by the Gen
eral COURT in Massachusetts, prohibit
ing the wearing of "short sleeves to
the elbow all garments being re.
quired to cover the arms to the wrists,
while knots of ribbon and other
frivols were absolutely forbidden.
Women could wear buckles on their
shoes, but that was the only ornament
the old blue law permitted. Women
have not changed much in 200 odd
years, but the laws have.

inquest Wednesday.
This afternoon Justice of the Peace
Il. B. Potter gave CordelIa a hearing

authorities were anxious to get rid of
him for fear of suicide.

sleep he cries out in agony for Berti

on him day and night.
Cordella in care of officers Spencer
and Tumey arrived here at ten O'Clock,
and the italian muderer was delivered
to the care of Sheriff Souder. He was
upon the verge of collapse. He is a
tall, slender. toop-shouldered fellow,
apparently tifty-five or sixty years of
age. He can speak but little English.
He shows evidence of having been
on a debauch. He was taken to the

cell on murderers' row."
This morning, after restless night,
he seemed to be quite i'll. His nerves
are wholly unstrung.

PULLIAM WILL
REMAIN HEAD
No Effort To Be Made to
Gust Him From the
Presidency.
BRUSH OPPOSES HIM
New York Bullies Fail to Get Even
As Result Of Last Seasons
Umpire Deal.

The annual meetings OF the National
and American leagues are to be held
this week. The former is to hold its
session in New York city, while the
latter Will hold forth in Chicago. While
there Is nothing sensational expected to
develop from either there are always
interesting bits of news brought out
at these annual affairs when all the
magnates get together
For time early in the fall it look
ed as though the National league mag
mates were developing scheme to set
rid of Harry G. Pulliam as president of
the organization. There were several
rumors OF what was to be done with the
bold Kentuckian and for a time it
looked as though he was going TO be
forced to v ak However, as time pro-
crossed, all the rumors were traced to
Manhattan Island and an Investigation
Of the situation barred the fact that
John T. Brush alone was trying to
sweep PuIliam off the list, while ne
was supported by probably every other
club owner ii the league
The matter practically stands that
way today unless Garry Hermann Of
Cincinnati sees some chance of boost
ing himself by siding with Brush.
Garry has been reported as being on
each side, but he is a good politician,
and it is safe to say that he will be
with the winner when it is ali over.
VIII Elect PullIam.
Harry Pulliam will be elected with
out the shadow Of a doubt, and it is
even probable that the vote VIII be
unanimous, for Brush must see by this
time that he no longer can control af-
fairs in the National league, and 1t
viii be better for him to climb into the
band wagon.
The reason Brush has worked to get
Pulliam out of the office is because the
kentucky gentleman showed his blood
last summer by telling the New York
club owner just where he stood when
it came 10 running the business of the
league. The climax came at the time
the Giants forfeited a game to the
Cubs because Umpire tombstone was
barred from the grounds. That was
probably as brazen piece of business
as any club has ever tried to put over,
and there is no longer any doubt that
Brush and his chief executor, 'Muggsy'
McGraw, were behind the movement.
But the deal fell through and with
it went the last of the bulldozing power
Of John T. Brush and McGraw. They
are still in the National league but
from now on they are to be listeners.
and the Chicago club VIII stand ready
to jump on them any time the former
DULLES try to injure the other clubs Of
the league.
President Murphy of the Cubs left
yesterday for New York and VIII likely
have as much to say at the meeting as
any other two magnates in the league
Charley attended the meeting last year
it being his first as he had just taken
the Chicago club. lie surprised the
old-timers at that time with a wonder
full gift of talk. but he is expected to
surpass that record this year when he
arrives at the meeting as a magnate OF
a whole seasons experience as we'll a>
being president Of the champions Of tbs
league.

letes, VIII shine in the Dashes and

Charlottesville. Ind, Dec. 9.-Walter
Gipe, Of Indianapolis, will lead the
Wabash team on the gridiron next
season. He was elected to the cap
taincy yesterday afternoon by the men
who received their football 'W's" this
year Gipe had been looked on as the
logical man for the position, and the
honor was conferred by a unanimous
vote. The ex-Shortridge star is not
only a great player himself, but is a
natural leader. and. with the respect
squad, and the hearty Endorsement Of
the scarlet supporters at large it is
expected that Wabash viii set a new
record for football achievement next
season.
With finances in good shape and an
abundance of seasoned material, the
outlook at this time is all that could
be desired.
The track team has elected Glenn
Mckinney captain in place of Doc"
Andrus, who VIII not be in school this
year. Andrus was regarded as a sure
point winner in the hurdles and his
loss is a blow to the team With the
new material at command, however,
notably Blair and Bellman, the Ham
mond athletes who are expected to
shine in the dashes and the hurdles,
respectively, Wabash hopes to put out
a winning track team.
Coach Cayou issued a call for the
first tryout this afternoon.
