Owing to the threatening weather of

hturdays. There was, however,
Irge number of visitors who came on
he early trains, and during the after
bon and evening the numbers were
lcreased until al nightfall there were
ulfdreds of strangers in town.
The attractions offered visitors were
/ well patronized and on every hand
puld be heard expressions of the good

The Millville band discoursed excel

THE SACRED CONCERT

The evening at the Pier theatre was
given up to the West Jersey Homeo-
pathc Hospital of Camden. Chas. A.
Reynolds, one of the managers of this
Institution, had carefully prepared u
concert Of vocal and instrumental
music which certainly did them credit.
Each selection was eXcellently render
ed and elected much applause from
the audience.
During the course ofthe evening Rev.
John Leyell, pastor of the First Bap-
fist church of Camden for fifteen years
a trustee of the institution, made brief
address, pointing out clearly what the
hospital had done and was doing, not
only in the way of caring for those in
need of their services at home, but
abroad as we'll Mr.. Leyell is very
clever speaker and when he had finished
speaking his hearers were just becom-
ing interested in the work of the hos
pital at Camden. Someone suggested
that the speaker again visit Wildwood
at an early date, and this suggestion
was carried over the entire audience.
1t was nearly | O'Clock when the con-
cert was concluded, and the crowd dis
persed, all agreeing that most de-
lightful evening had been passed
Mr.. Reynolds takes this means of
thanking those who aided in any way
in making the affair success.

Frank Johnson probably lost a good
chance for a new trial by his speech of
yesterday in Judge Robinson's court
1t is highly probably that the verdict
of murder in the first degree would
have been set aside and a new trial
ordered, had he not demonstrated to
the court and all present that his con-
dition of mind was such as fully to
Justify a conviction of murder in the
first degree. His speech is regarded
as showing considerable cunning.
Attorney Harrison had given notice
of a motion for new trial and it was
to be considered. Judge Robinson this
morning admitted that he had not
made up his mind about the matter.
IF there was a reasonable doubt as
to whether the man was sane enough
to harbor a criminal intent said the
Judge TT would have been most
wrong to allow verdict of murder in
the first degree to stand We do not
want to hang a man of that sort what
ever the law may be. But the speech
he made completely settled the ques-
tion in my mind. 1t was a better speech
i'm better language than one would get
from a majority of the street laDorers
q fSan Francisco. Johnson freely pro-
nounced over and over again, names
which witnesses testified he could not
pronounce or carry in his mind.

tonight the four pile drivers rushed tC
the gap at the Rockwood gate had been
set to work and the first night shift of
men to be used i'm damming the great
break in the Colorado gate had been
put to work.
The break occurred early this morn
ing when the swollen waters of the
Colorado swept down upon the Rock
wood gate, built by the California De-
Velopment company in an attempt to
divert the waters of the river back into
the old channel, and tore out a section
120 feet wide.
1t was thought when the great gate
was built that the waters could be
easily kept in the channel, but with a
roar and a swish the work of many
month went out into the bed of the
stream and the water went rushing to
its freedom.
The only foundation for the dam con-
sists of sediment deposit, and it makes
the work uncertain, so that 1t will prob
ably take more than a month to close
the gap in the gate. 1t is now pro-
posed to build a series of dams for the
protection of the river in future.
AS soon as the break was discovered
this morning four pile drivers were
packed on a special train, together with
other equipment, 100 mules and 1000
men, and the special was sent at full
speed for the distressed country.
The first fight will be to build tenn

gate until the gap can be closed

to induce him to resume the direction of

Never, never will return to power.

negotiations. Witte is an old friend of

opinion ON the financial situation.
1t is an open secret that Count Witte
would have greater confidence in Rus

HUNDREDS HELD IN
BONDAGE IN FLORIDA
By Associated Press.

AA"HHEANNtNA
WASHINGTON, Oct. H.
Fresh allegations of the ex-
istence of slavery in Southern
Florida below Tampa have been
made to the department Of JUS
tice, and it is alleged that hun
dreds of men in the state, both
whites and negroes, are held in
virtual slavery.
1t is declared that those re-
sponsible for this condition of
affairs are mostly northern
men and companies engaged in
the turpentine and lumber
business and in mining phos-
phate rock.
1t is further alleged that the
sheriffs in various counties in
the southern part are parties
to the enslaving of negroes.
The departments informant,
who is a woman, is to have an
interview with Attorney Gen
eral Moody, after which the de-
partment will decide upon the
course it will pursue.
