stung by the Minister.

Rev. john Handley formerly of
Bridgeton, now of Vineland, has
stirred up lot of people in his con.
gregation, and they are squirming
lively enough. In his Sunday sermon
he declared that progressive euchre
was gambling pure and simple, and
those who INDUCED in the play were
violating the moral laws and the
laws of the state as we'll.
Progressive euchre is said to be
quite a popular game in Vinelgnd
Society and there il great cry among
the church members against the view
thus forcibly expressed by the elo-
quent preacher.

Large Meeting of the Gun Club


The meeting, Tuesday evening, of
the Cumberland Gun Club and inter
ested sIortsmen in reference to the
shooting of rail and reed birds and
water fowl along the unclaimed
meadows of the Cohansey river, was
very largely attended and the uni
versal opinion of those present was
that now was the proper time to have
a thorough test made of the whole
affair, and many of the sportsmen
present agreed to donate a sum of
money to be added to the club for the
purpose of fighting the case, and after
very enthusiastic meeting it was
decided to go down the river on
Thursday, Oct. 5, and go on these
meadows and take the chance OF in
curing arrest. The party will leave
the Steamboat wharf at s a. m, for
that purpose.

Almost a Drowning Case

The timely arrival OF two Young
men Tuesday night at the. old rolling
mill bridge prevented drowning acct
dent, and saved John Law from a
watery grave.
About ten O'Clock there were two
young men, who do not care to have
their names mentioned, cutting
across the bridge on their way home.
They heard splash put paid little
attention to it. but as they neared the
bridge heard feeble call for help.
Both being good swimmers they ran
toward the bridge, taking off their
clothes as they ran. In the dim light
they saw man struggling in the
water. The young men jumped into
a launch lying there and caught the
fellow by the coat. Together they
dragged him into the boat finally
landing him on shore.
The man was so intoxicated that he
did not realize his danger. He said
his name was John Laws and it Ia
supposed he wandered off the side of
the bridge. where there is no guard
rail, and would have drowned had
not the boys gone to his assistance.
Law seemed more interested in losing
his hat than anything else and asked
his rescures to lend him hat to go
home. He was taken out to Laurel
street and started home, never thank
Ing the young men, or even asking
their names.
