Capt. Sharp Held.

Captain Zadok Sharp was given a
hearing before Justice of the Peace
Samuel M. Hall Friday afternoon.
He answered to two charges; one was
assault upon Captain James Boyle. of
the watchboat. and the other, assault
and battery upon Americus Bateman.
Capain Boyle's charge was first
heard. He told of having tried to
board the boat to inspect. Sharp
struck at him with shovel.
Bateman corroborated BoyIe's testi-
mony,
Attorney Roscoe Ward, who ap-
peared for the defendant, did not offer
any defence.
The charge brought by Bateman was
then heard. The plaintiff testified
that in performance of duty he had tried
tc board the boat. He was pushed
down hole, kicked at and the de.
fendant tried to hit him with a shovel.
Mr.. Boyle gave similar testimony
Mr.. Ward addressed this Court, ex-
planning that Bateman was there as a
trespasser, instead of being an officer,
and asked that he be released on that
charge.
Squire Hall decided to hold him on
both charges. Bail for his appearance
at Court in September was placed at
$40C.
D. 8. M. Wilson furnished bail and
Capt. Sharp was released.

All of the addresses were highly
oommendatory of the public acts of
Mr.. Buck, and showed the efficiency
with which he had represented his
constituency in Trenton.
Mr.. Buck replied in neat address
in which he sincerely thanked his
friends for the high compliment ten
dered him.

Buck was presented with splendid

understood will be very acceptable

Public Building for Bridpeton


The big omnibus bill carrying ap-
propriations for public buildings, is
all ready to be reported in the House
OF Representatives, and will be,pre-
sented upon the day agreed upon for
its passage. The following telegram
was Tuesday afternoon sent out
from Washington:
That New Jersey will fair as pre-.
dicted some months ago is probable,
Jersey City will get at least 1925. 900.
and possibly more; Elizabeth, it is
believed, is slated for 500, 900 addi.
tional; Bridgeton for $65, 900 and
Perth Amboy for 81, 900.
Trenton would like to have 800. 600
but it is extremely doubtful that any
appropriation will be made tor that
city this session. Passaic would like
800. 900, and Senator Dryden got
bill through the Senate for that
amount. What the House will do
however remains to be seen. Plain.
field, too, would like post office
building to cost 800, 900, but will
probably be obliged to watt
Should this bill become a law it
would mean much for Bridgeton.
500, 900 would purchase a most desir.
able site and erect and furnish a
splendid structure for the transaction
OF the government business here.
Every person in Bridgeton will be
proud for the city to have such a pub.
lie building. It will add to the i'm
portance of the city, and be in line
with moving, growing Bridgeton.

Strawberries Took q Drop.

Produce merchants report big drop
in strawberries. This came Saturday
morning but they are not done talking
about it yet. There was drop from
S4.5O to 81 so, making quite loss.
The cause of this is a glut in the
markets. Many farmers raising ber-
ries thought the demand would in
crease taking the price sky high as the
season heightened. They held off the
crops as long as possible, but last
week was the limit and thousands of
crates we're hauled to the merchants.
The supply became too large and the
drop resulted.
Beside being loss to the shippers

WHO WILL BE
LAW JUDGE NOW ?

Monday Supreme Court Justice
Thomas W. Trenchard will be sworn,
and assume the duties of his distin-
.onisbed position. In taking his place
upon the Supreme Court Bench he
leaves the position OF Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas vacant
His successor will soon have to he
annointed by Governor E. @. Stokes.
II may be that more than a week will
go by.
II seems to be the opinion OF most
neonle that Prosecutor j. Hampton
Fitbian will be moved up and take
the vacant place upon the bench.
There has been some mention of the
name of Roy P. Tuller. of Vineland,
for the place, but he is not candi'
date, although he does not say he
would decline the position should it
he tendered him. The Trenton Times
has suggested Walter HI. Bacon as be-
ing exceptionally we'll qualified for
the position, but it can be positively
said that he would not accept the ap.
pointment. Mr.. Bacon has but re-
Gently been made First Assistant U.
S, District Attorney, and there are
many who feel that he will be still
further advanced in the United States
service. Already he has made very
great impression in the manner in
which he has filed the position he
now holds.
The appointment OF Prosecutor
Fithian seems to the public 70 be en-.
tirely fitting. Certain is it that as a
Prosecutor he has made a most envi.
able reputation. and he stands very
high in the esteem of the bar associa-
tion, and is regarded as one of the
best lawyers Of the younger practi.
tioners in South Jersey. 1t is of
course possible that Governor Stokes
may make some other selection, but
there are very few who doubt the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Fithian.
The advancement of Mr.. Fithian
would mean that the Office of Prose-
cutor would have to be filled with a
new man. In anticipation of va.
cancy occurring. City Solicitor James
Boyd Potter has made it known that
he would be glad to accept the ap-
pointment. Tt is further understood
that he has the almost unanimous sup
port of the Cumberland County Bar
Association.
The friends of Rosoe g. Ward have
urged his appointment should there be
vacancy in the Prosecutorship. and
he may have strong backing should he
decide to be an active candidate. AL.
bert McAllister has also been spoken
of in connection with the place, al
though he has made no announcement
as yet that would indicate that he de-
sires to be considered candidate.
The name of Deputy County Clerk
Robert S. Schiller is also discussed
among those who have been going
over the situation, although it is
quite likely that he considers his pres.
ent place far preferable.

Italian Drowned at Rosenhayn

SpeclaI TO Cne t1oneer.
Rosenhayn, N. J., June II.
Sunday afternoon four Italians came
here from Vineland and it was at
once evidence that the party was un-
der the influence of liquor and was
out for what they call a good time.
The quartette went out about Muddy
Run, when one of the number in some
way fell over in the little pond near
by. Being unable to swim, and his
companions so intoxicated they could
not help him, the fellow sank beneath
the surface and was drowped.
An hour later a heavy thunder
shower passed over and the disturbance
caused by the elements to the water
made the body to rise and it was se-
cured.
Coroner Potter, of Vineland, was
notified and he made careful investi-

ing to indicate the necessity for an

WHERE CORN GOES.
High Prices of Corn VIII Continue In
Future.

New Orleans cleared 6,77O,0
bushels of corn during January, an
increase of 1,567,00O bushels over
January, 1905, says the Chicago
Livestock World.
This tells the story of high-priced
feed in the west The opening Of the
gulf route has done 1t. =,
Formerly export corn had to cross
the Alleghanies, an expensive haul.
Naturally the grower in the Missouri
valley paid the freight.
Now he is relieved of this charge.
Corn loaded in Nebraska rolls down
hill to the gulf. AS a result Illinois
and Missouri river prices are practi-
cally fon a parity.
Cattle feeders in the future must
take high-price corn int oconsidera-
ton. 1t is not transitory condition.
There never will be 20-cent corn again
in the west.
Beef making hereafter may be cate
goried as a science. The mere corn
hauler is out of the game.

Tantalem. New Precious Metal.

Tantalem is a metal harder than a
diamond and may displace it for drill
ing purposes, If it can be obtained in
sufficient quantities. 1t is not one
of the rarest metals, and yet not one
of the most common. Its existence
was discovered more than a century
ago, but not until 1908 means were
known which would separate it from
its compounds. This metal is so hard
that the only effect produced by a
diamond drill working day and night
for three days on a sheet of the SUBJ
stance one-twentieth of an inch thick
was dent in the sheet and the wear
ing out of the diamond. When red
hot 1t is easily rolled into sheets and

only at a very high temperature and
is we'll fitted to serve as filaments in

The marriage of Alice Roosevelt in

great social event of the Grant ad-
ministration-the marriage of the
presidents only daughter, Ellen
Wrenchall, then 10 years old, to AL
gernon Charles Frederic Sartoris, on
May 81, 1874. The groom was the
son of a former British minister to a
minor European court and was four
years older than his bride. They had
become acquainted on the steamer
while she was returning to the United
| States year and a half before.

riage of Princess Nellie to the Many
Named Englishman." The wedding
took place at IL o'clock in the MORN
ing in the East room of the White
House, the Rev. DR.. Tiffany of the
Metropolitan Methodist church Off
ciating. The East room was decorat-
ed with plants and evergreens. On
| one side was a platform raised a foot
from the floor and covered with a
carpet presented by the sultan of Tur-
key. Over the center of the plat
form hung marriage bell of flow
ers. The description continues:
"Punctual to the hour the invited
guests entered the east room and
ranged themselves in full view of the
platform. The toilets of the ladies
were of the richest description and
there was a profusion of point lace.
The scene was unusually brilliant. The
bridal party entered from the Blue
room. First came Mr.. Sartoris and
Colonel Fred Grant the only grooms-
man; next the bridesmaids, two by
two, the president and Mrs. Grant,
and their two sons, Ulysses and Jesse.
On reaching the platform the presi-
dent transferred his daughter to Mr..
Sartoris, who with the bride ascended
the platform, where the minister was
waiting to receive them.
1.-THE bride wore a white satin dress
elaborately trimmed with point lace
and her hair adorned with orange
blossoms. The dress of the groom was
in the latest style with the conven-
tional necktie.
"All things being in readiness the
Rev. DR.. Tiffany proceeded with the
ceremony according to the form of the
Methodist Episcopal chulch. The
band played the wedding march at
the conclusion of the ceremony.

Harper's Weekly estimated the
value of the wedding gifts at 100000,
including $4,000 from President
Grant. 1t mentions especially a des-
sert service of 81 pieces from George
w. Childs, and dinner service worth
$4,000 from A. ]. Drexel. A few days
after the wedding the young couple
sailed on the Baltic for England. It
was understood that President Grant
did not approve of his daughters
choice and her married life ended in
a separation. Sartoris died in Corfu
in 1898 and the next year his widow
returned to America to live.
