SOUTH AMR0Y.
AUTOIST in

one OF II South .AmbOy autoists,
while out for a spin Sunday, arrived
at South River in time to aid a broth
er autoist in distress. 1t appears that
a gentleman took three of his friends
for an outing to Lakewood and as
they had plenty OF time they thought
they would go out of their way a
trine and see what South River look
ed like. They were a short distance
from the bridge when a wagon going
in the same direction doomed up
ahead and still another one ahead
was coming towards the automobile,
so It was impossible to turn out with
out smashing into II. The autoist
therefore signalled to the wagon go
ing ahead of him to get out of the
way, but instead of doing so. the man
stopped the wagon and the automo-
bile struck 1t in one of the hind
wheels, breaking two of the spokes.
The radiator, or cooler OF the ma
chine was punctured and the water
was let out, so the machine was
stalled and our South Amboy man,
finding them by the wayside, had an
opportunity for acting the good Sam
aritan, as the gentleman expressed a
wish to learn whore he could find
someone to fix the machine-there
were a dozen men around him who
could have given him the informa-
ton, but they did not seem inclined
to do so-the autoists complain of
the farmers contrariness-so the
South Amboy gentleman invited him
to get into his auto, assuring him IL
he couldn't find a machinist around
there, he would take him to n in
South Amboy. A half-mile spin
brought them to a machinist who
started with is tools for the auto and
the machine was started by advise
of the South Amboyite down the hill
by its own momentum without water
and ii went almost the half mile be-
fore stopping to be put in shape
again by the machinist.
The man with the two broken
spokes of his wheel, demanded $40,
which was given to him by the gen
tleman rather than be made the vic
tim of an arrest, but his name was
taken and he was assured that the
gentleman would settle with him lat
er. The machine was a handsome
French affair, supposedly from New
York city.

49,
The flower thief or thieves have
been at work again in Christ church
cemetery. A beautiful LaFranse
rose bush was placed in the Wilson
plot by Mrs. j. G. Albright about two
weeks ago in memory of her father,
the late Aleck Wilson, who, when
alive, was very fond of that specie of
rose. Last Saturday, a week ago,
Mrs. Albright visited the plot and the
rose bush was all right, but on
Sunday following her brother $
there and the bush had been { zen
out of the ground where she had
planted it. If the thief has any con-
science and sees this, or hears tell of
it, 1t is hoped that they will take it
back, for Mrs. Albright feels very
badly about it. and surely some judg-
ment ought to follow anyone wicked
enough to rob the dead.
1t is said that other flowers were
taken that week. Does this not show
that a Waterman is needed in the
cemetery? This in another reason
why the trolley terminal should be
in some other spot, as it gives too
good a chance for people outside of
the town to steal and get away with
their spoil. That was also another
reason ebsides dissertation for want
ing to keep the "Y" outside of the
cemetery.

RIG IRISH AT SALE.

The rush at Salz e Steiner's was
tremendous Saturday night and the
store was so crowded that some Gus
toners could not get waited on even,
the sidewalk was so crowded and one
of the gentlemen inside who appear
ed to have control of the sale, was
heard to ask where he could find the
chief of police. 1t appeared as If the
most of the crowd inside were from
outside of the borough, as there were
so many strange faces among them,
The other dry goods stores appeared
to be doing a nice business also,
There were four busy waiting on
customers at Kollisch's store.

One Of South Amboy's young men
is going around with a black eye. 1t
seems that he and another young
man were very good friends and he
thought he would jolly him about
his girl, never dreaming but the other
one would take it all right, but
friendship didn't count, or else he
went too far with his jollying, for
the friend flung out a fist and soaked
him in the eye which made him see
stars or something and which left a
very dark impression in more ways
than one.
