FISH IN NEWARK PARK
LAKE NOT POISONED.
Their Death Caused by Lack of
Oxygen, the Result of Decay
of Vegetable Growth.

NEWARK, Aug, 24:mExperts en-
| ployed by the Essex County Park
Commission, to ascertain the cause
of the death of thousands of fish in
Weequahic Lake, reported yesterday
to the commission that the water of
the lake had not been poisoned, as
was first believed, but that the fatal
ity to the fish was due to the lack of
oxygen in the water. The dissipa-
lion of the DEMONSTRATING oxygen vas
due, the experts said, to the decay of
a quantity of algae, a vegetable
growth.
The exhaustion of the oxygen was
of sudden occurrence. 1t was caused
by the lack of wind of sufficient
strength to agitate the water and
keep alive the vegetable organisms.
The commission was informed that
no steps can be taken at the present
time to restore the oxygen in the
water, but that the reservation will
come naturally as soon as there are
winds strong enough to ruffie the
lake.
The experts engaged in the inves-
tigation were Herbert B. Baldwin, of
the Newark Board of Health; George
C. Whipple, of New York, and Direc-
tor Townsend, of the New York
Aquarium.

COLORED PEOPLES DAY.
BOyntOn's Had the Last Event OF
That Kind for Season.

Yesterday vas colored peoples salt
water day at Boynton Beach, and al
though the crowd was enormous,
only one accident married the colored
peoples pleasure. There was little
trouble and the fact that the excur-
sionists were members of an East
Orange Sunday school was plainly
proven by the orderly way in which
they conducted themselves.
A number of the negroes went
from the beach to Loeser's, where
some of them became noisy. A re-
port was received by the police that
a woman, at 10 O'Clock last night, hit
a man on the head with a bottle,
causing a severe scalp wound, which
bled profusely. Beyond this affair,
everything else was run off smoothly.
1t is estimated that over 5000
were in attendance at the beach yes
terday.
Tomorrow is children's day and a
large crowd of tots are expected by
the management.

ROUNDING UP
STRAY PIGS.
Health Inspector Fithian Told
Pound Keeper to Clear the
Streets Of the Animals.

All kinds of excitement reigned in
the vicinity of the city pound last
night, and as a result today many
of the participants are nursing burn
ed arms and legs, also 9TH
er bruises.
Recently pigs have been running
at large on the streets in different
parts of the city, and yesterday
Health Inspector G.. w. Fithian or
dered Pound Keeper Ernest to go and
drive the stray pigs to the pound. Mr..
Ernest, with several assistants, start
ed to round up the s%quealers and in
a short time had a drove of about
fifteen.
In the meantime the different own
ers had become aware of what was
going on, and with clubs, hot pokers
and other implements tried to COM
pei the men to give up the pigs. A
fight occurred, amid shouts and
screams of both sides, and by the
time the pound was reached, only
four pigs remained to tell the tale,
In the meantime Walter Mullins
had telephoned to the police for as
~sistance, and in a short time the pa
troll wagon in charge of Patrolman
McDermott was on the scene, but not
before all the d%isturbers had fed.
Threats of arrest are now in the
air, and other moves may take place
today, but the four pigs will still re-
Imam in the pound.

GHEWED BY WILDCAT.
Rescuer Also Bitten and Both Are
in Danger of Rabies.

DUNELLEN, Aug. 24:-Mrs. John
Doty, who lives on the slope of the
Dunellen Mountains, and who was
badly bitten by a wildcat Wednesday,
is still in a serious condition. She
was in her back yard, under a large
tree, when the cat sprang upon her,
fixing its teeth in the calf of her leg,
clawing her badly. Her shrieks
brought George Vail, who happened
to be in the vicinity, with a revolver.
Before he could shoot the animal it
had jumped ON him, bitten his right
arm severely and inflicted other min
or injuries.
BY the time he had beaten off the
brute with the butt of the revolver,
Walter Clawson, who also had re-
ceived slight injuries, came back
with a double-barreled shotgun, the
contents of which he emptied into the
cat, killing it. Physicians were sum-
moned and aid was given to the in
iured persons, but it is believed rab-
les may develop.
