CAME NEAR DROWNING
WHILE AT CONEY ISLAND
David SaItie Went from This City to
the Resort and Was Taken With
Cramps While Bathing.

Daniel Saltie, of this city, came
near being drowned while in bath
ing at Coney Island yesterday. He
left this city yesterday morning in
company with several friends and
upon arriving at the island, they went
directly in bathing. They had not
been in the water very long when Sal
tie was seized with a cramp. His
cries for help soon brought his COM
panions, who brought him safely to
shore, just as he was going down for
the last time. After working over
him for some time he was brought
to, and was able to return to his home
last night.

METUCHEN, July 16:-HenFy
Machin, of Trenton, fell from a
freight train here yesterday morning
and the wheels cut off his legs and

opened his eyes and his white lips
moved One of the railroad men
grouped around him bent pityingly
to hear his last words.
"Give me a cigarette, for gracious
sake" young Machin whispered.
The man lit a cigarette, puffed at
it a moment, while Machin watched
him anxiously, then placed it be-
tween Machin's lips. He inhaled a
few whiffs with pleasure, seeminglys
then muttered:
Now kill me and put me out OF

While the smoke was streaming
from Machin's nostrils four men

Still Dry In New Brunswick.

Spccfdt 20 tHe ~ ENING VIZ HS.
NEW BRUNSWICK, July 49,
Yesterday was another dry Sunday
in this city, the saloonkeepers still
obeying the law without any objec-
tion thereto. The police had not re-
ported any cases where the screens
had not been removed and no COM
plants were made by citizens against
any such places.
Some of the patrons of the saloons
profited by the experience of the pre-
vious Sunday when they did not think
things would be so tight shut as they
were and were unsuccessful in get
ting drink. This time they laid in
a stock on Saturday night of bottled
goods and it is said business in this
line was heavier on this Saturday
than a week ago.
Complaint was made by the police
last Sunday as to the failure OF
Charles Greenewald to remove the
screens in his place. Mr.. Greenewald
has a bowling alley and therefore is
not obliged to remove the screens
under the law. He was refused his
license by the Excise Board soTpe
time ago and had a hard time getting
it back and in view of this fact some
of the townspeople think he should
remove his screens anyway rather
than rely so upon his rights so as to
show that he appreciated the fact
that he had a license.

GOV. STOKES
HAS ROMANCE
But He Denies the Story as Pub
lished that He Is Engaged to
Southern Belle.
Special to the ErENING VIEWS

!
TRENTON, July 16: 6:-Governor
Stokes, this afternoon, denied the
story published in this morning s
New York Times that he is engaged
to Miss Annie Green, of New Berne,
| N. G. The story, as given in the
Times, was as follows:
Gov. Edward Casper Stokes, of
New Jersey, is reported to be engaged
to be married to Miss Annie Green, of
New Berne, N. G. If it had not been
for a certain confederate battle flag
he might have remained bachelor
all his life
Two young women made the Con-
federate battle flag, way back in
1861, and presented it publicly to a
company about to march north into
Virginia. This happened in the lit
tie town of Beaufort, on the coast of
North Carolina, and when the Beau
fort company left for the front the
flag went along, too. At last, like
many another Confederate battle flag
in the last months of the struggle, it
was captured by the enemy.
A New Jersey regiment took the
Beaufort flag, which was all shot-tat-
tered by this time, and, after Appo-
mattox, bore it in Triumph to Tren-
ton There it stayed, along with 9TH
er relics and trophies, for more than
thirty years Then New Jersey de-
cided to give back the tattered battle
flag to the state whence it came.
Of course, there had to be cere-
mony connected with the return-a
war banner must not be shipped like
some ordinary thing and a delega-
tion of prominent New Jerseymen,
led by the governor of the state,
journeyed with the flag two or three
months ago to. Raleigh. There they
were met by Gov. Glenn, Chief JUS
tice Walter Clark, Gen. Julian s..
Carr, and other north state celebri-
| ties.
Up from New Berne and Beaufort,
which are near to each other at the
east end of North Carolina, came a
! party to see the transfer well done,
and in the party were two gray-hair-
ed women-the same who had made
the flag. Another person who came
was Miss Annie Green, handsome
young woman of New BerRe.
There were speeches, and, after
the speeches, handshaking. That
was when Gov Stokes was introduc-
ed to Miss Green. The day after the
Raleigh ceremony the Northeners
went down to New Berne, and there
they had some more speechmaking,
and, incidentally, Gov, Stokes and
Miss Green had chance to become
better acquainted.
Since that time Miss Green has
made two or three visits to New York
with her mother. Now, it is said, ev-
erything has been arranged except
the date of the wedding. Even yet,
however, close friends of the COVER
nor have not learned of his inten-
tions.
Gov Stokes, who is 46 years old,
has never married. He was born in
Philadelphia, and was graduated
from Brown University in 1883. At
ter that he became banker in Tren-
ton, and later entered politics, be-
coming state senator in 1892.

"Dry" Throughout the State.

New Jerseys second Sunday under
the bishops law" was generally re-
ported to be as ''dry" yesterday
throughout the state as it was on the
previous Sunday. In Atlantic City,
where the law was ignored the first
Sunday, the police asserted that the
law was observed yesterday. The sa-
loon keepers there did not remove
their curtains or screens because they
said the common council of the city
had not ordered them to do so. They
profess to be acting under the advice
of their lawyers and say that the
screens do not have to be removed
unless an order to that effect be is
sued by the body granting the IL
cense.
In all the other cities and towns
of the state reports made last night
indicated that the saloon keepers
generally had obeyed the law so far
as the removal of screens was con-
cerned, but it was asserted that in
many towns of Essex and Hudson
counties and also in the cities a quiet
traffic was carried on and that a truly
thirsty and persistent man could get
something to drink.
In Newark, Paterson and Jersey
City the police were diligent in the
enforcement of the law and made ar
rests where they caught the saloon
keepers doing business. Chief Muir
ply, of Jersey City, caused eight ar
rests to be made. Two arrests were
made in Newark and two in Paterson.
In Newark Detective Sergeant Tuite
and Patrolman Seybold disguised
themselves in working clothes and
gained entrance to the saloon of VIII
liam Crowley, at Wickliffe and Acad-
emy streets, where they found beer
being sold. They arrested the pro-
prietor and his bartender. Police Cap
tain Corbitt also made raid upon
Robert Wade's saloon, at No. 15 Fer
ry street, and arrested Wade.
If has become apparent that one
affect of the new law will be de-
mand on the part of the saloon keep
ers that all laws prohibiting the car
rving on of business on Sunday be
enforced by the police. All their as
sociations in the cities and towns have
taken steps to petition the mayors
and police departments to enforce the
old blue" laws. They say that in
time they will force the authorities
to an issue on the question of shutting
down ice cream and other stores, as
well as bakeries and other lines OF

Ticket scalpers Had Nerve.

Trenton, Sept. lowell, for pure
nerve that beats anything I ever saw, "
said Secretary Mahlon R. Magerum. of
the Interstate Fair Association, to-day
when he had turned down two agents
of New York ticket:dealers' associa-
tion who came to him with an offer to
buy up all the reserved grand-stand
seats for Thursday, September 81, the
"Big Day" of the fair. When Mayer
um turned the men down they offered
to buy all the reserved grand. stand
seats for every day of the fair. This
offer was also refused.
The men had no hesitation in saying
that it was their intention to "scalp"
the tickets, and as the Fair Associ.
alton has been using eve ry effort to
prevent this practice during the past
five years, Mr.. Magerum used no
gentle language in turning the men
down,

makes 80 automobiles in Bridgeton; Or
about two thirds of all the autos in

the number of autos and also the num-
ber of drivers, Vineland leads in the
number of motor cycles, having 10
out of the 10 registered.
South Jersey stands we'll in com.
parison to other parts of the country
in the number of automobiles as you
will notice by the following:
Cleveland has one automobile to
every $50 inhabitants.
Denver has one automobile to every
ITO inhabitants.
New York City has one automobile
to every $50 Inhabitants.
Bridgeton has one automobile to
every 27S inhabitants.
Vineland has one automobile to

Millville has one automobile to

Test Case for Duffield Law.

Trenton, Sept. .11.-Council for the
different railroads taxed in New Jersey

of Equalization of taxes and withdrew
several hundred appeals against as
sessnents made upon the companies
second class railroad property in New
Jersey last year under the Duff1eld
law providing for the taxation of this
property at local rates.
There was one petition not with
drawn. In that case the board dis
missed the appeal, thus providing
test case to carry the matter to the
courts.
The railroads claim that second class
properties were assessed at a higher
percentage of true value than other
properties and that the Duffield law is
unconstitutional.

HUNT BROTHERS
AUTOMOBILE
WAS DESTROYED

There was something of a fire in
the Third ward, on Atlantic street,
Wednesday in which Arch. Platt lost
his $500 automobile.
Mr.. Platt had been cleaning his
machine cut in his garage late in the
afternoon. In the evening he went
out to do something more to 1t, but
had not been there long when his
wife called him and he left the work
to go into the house. He had just
hooked tight the bottom door when he
heard a slight explosion as though he
had stepped On match. In an in.
stant all around was in blaze-the
tank and machine, shed and all and
all were speedily consumed; the ma.
chine was entirely destroyed and the
whole business completely wiped out.
Mr.. Platt's supposition is that the
gasoline fumes in the building were
ignited by the match which he sup
poses he stepped upon.
The fire department. was called out
from box No. 80 and promptly re.
sponded. and soon saved the surround
ing property. It is quite probable
that Frank Middieton's prompt action
saved the residence occupied by Mrs.
Josie Barnes. on Lincoln street. The
property is located very near the gar.
age property. and Mr.. Middleton at
once went on the roof of the Barnes
residence with a garden hose, and
saved it from being fired.
Mr.. Platt's automobile was partial
ly injured.

They can tell you the symptoms, but
what good does that do the poor
wretch who is strangling and suffo-

the most excruciating agony of in
ternal pains in the very part of his

with his eyeballs bursting and his
nasal cavities ablaze with aches, must
work or read, or write, talk and be
amiable-what good does that do him ?
Let him go to the hay-fever colony
or into the White Mountains. Easy,
my boy, easy. Who's to pay the bill?
Some poor men have hay fever, whose
salaries barely suffice to cover rent
and grocers' and butchers and bakers
bills, not to talk of clothes and hats
and babies and the like. And then,
too, the insurance has a way of COM

REV. s. III. POTTER

After a most interesting and
thoughtful sermon Sunday morning,
to which great attention was paid,
Rev. Samuel II. Potter, pastor of the
Fourth Presbyterian Church, greatly
surprised his congregation by an
nounoing his determination Of resign
ing his charge. He said:
II wish to give public notice of my
intention to ask Presbytery, at It's
next meeting, to be held in Woods
town, Sept. 18th, to release me from
this pastoral charge, the same to take
effect at the close of this month. My
future home will be in one of three
places. When a decision is reached
the public will be informed as to
where I am going. Session has author
lied that meeting be held in the
church one week from tonight. Sept.
17tn, at s o'clock. The Rev. L. A.
Oates has been asked to preside at
that meeting.''
The congregation was not only sur.
prised, but greatly panied to learn of
Mr.. Potter s intention. The gentle
man has been working here nearly
three years and has been one of the
most active and earnest men of his
profession. He has accomplished
much for the church. In the COM
munity he has a host of good friends
who will be sorry to have him leave
here. The Pioneer is most earnest
