Don't Kick on Weather

The furry Of snow that visited this
section yesterday recalled to the mind
OF A. c. Mcconnell, the veteran rail-
road engineer, that on the 25th Of
April 1892, he was stalled in a snow
bank near Miller and compelled to
remain there over night. "Billy"
Finch was conductor OF the train
being pulled by Mac and together
they had quite a night OF it. The
snow at that time was drifted nearly
as high as box car in the cuts and
the wind blowing . hurricane.

Hundreds of persons the pier who had come
to friends paced up and down patiently and
shouted to those board At 1880 a m. it
obvious that the steamer could not be docked until
the food tide, and the returning tourists shouted
to their friends and relatives to go home for the
night and went to bed themselves.
A number Of customs officials who were COM
PEELED to remain the pier were greatly annoyed
because the Deutschland brought up to. her

Lands, Of Chicago, son Of the late Charles X
Lands, founder of Vineland. Sea Isle City and
Wildwood, attempted to shoot J. ogden Burt, one
ol the'best known lawyers in the state, at his Of
flee in Bridgeton to- day Lands arrived from the
West this morning and went directly to Burt's
office. He called him into his front room and
strobe toward him ferociousIy. excIaiming: You
have been intimate with my wife,
This Burt denied Lands then pulled from his
pocket 4 sheet Of manuscrpt-a prepared con-
fesson-thrust It toward Burt and demanded
that the lawyer sign it. When he refused Lam
dis drew revolver from his pocket and
shrfeking: Yes. you wil"' fired bullet which
grazed Burt's head
Before another could be fired Burt dashed to
his private office and quickly closed the door. IL
required his office assistants to hold the door
against Landis's onslaught. Lands, unable to
reach the lawyer strobe rapidly TO the Sheriff ;

Of the revolver which Lands had used showed
