POOL
TOURNEY HERE.
Ralph and Duffy to
Inject in Series Of Games
at KiTbyS.

This city is to be the scene of d
series of pool matches between the
three experts who finished ever in
the play-off of the tournament for
the state championship in Trenton
recently: Joe Cancannon, of Wood
bridge; Ed. Ralph, of Hightstown,
and John Duffy, of Hoboken.
The matches have been arranged
with a view to deciding the state
championship title. The games will
be played at Kirby's parlors in Ho-
bart street, the first game to be play
ed Monday night, January 28th, the
second game on the night of January
80, and the final game Monday. Feb
ruary 4th. Each game will be of 125
points. The first game will have
Ralph and Duffy as contestants; the
second Duffy and Concannon, and
the final game will be between Ralph
and Concannon. The Brunswick
Bake ollander Company, of New
York, will supply the table, which is
the same used in the recent Buffalo
tournament for the worlds champion
ship and which was won by Keogh,
of that city.
Much rivalry exists etween these
men, each thinking he can defeat the
others, In fact it is talked of by them
of putting up 500 with some bust
ness man of this city and making
these games a sweepstakes affair,
the winner taking all. This course
will likely be decided on.
The games here will be under neu-
trail conditions, with none of the three

HOPE TO SAVE THE SHAD
Interested Men Want to Restrict
Fishing in Delaware River to
Daylight Hours.

TRENTON, Jan. 16:-Some of the
more progressive shad fishermen of
the lower Delaware river and bay
hope to see legislation this winter to
protect these toothsome fish, which
are so rapidly disappearing from
these waters. They declare that last
season was the worst that was ev-
err experienced and that if something
is not done at once not a shad will
be found in the bay or river in a few
years. The number has been growing
less and less every year, and while
there are differences of opinion as
to the cause of the depletion, there
is no difference as to the ultimate re-
suit.
To that end it is likely that a plan
for lettering conditions will be sub
mitted by the commission named last
year to take up the matter with
similar commissions from Delaware
and Pennsylvania. A bill looking to
a solution of the problem may be pre-,
sented next week in the hope of secur-
ing its passage at this session.
1t is said to be the plan to stop
night fishing entirely, combining the
work to the hours between sunrise
and sunset. Under the law fishing is
now permissible at any time between
Sunday, midnight, and Saturday, at
sunset during the season. This brief
respite gives the fish but little chance
to reach the headwaters of the river
it is seeking for spawning grounds.
BY cutting the time to daylight hours
on six days of the week it is believ-
ed that the fish will be given the
chance to reach the spawning grounds
and that in a few years the great in
dustry will be restored to something
like its old-time proportions. This
proposition would give the fishermen
about foui zen hours = day in which
to make the catch during the season.

WEDDING
OF an aged COIored Couple is
Unique Event in the History
OF the City.

The marriage VOWS between Mr..
William TIIIman, colored. and Mrs.
Mandy Walker, colored, were heard
by at least one hundred and fifty
persons-men, women and children,
both white and colored-at the st.
Charles hotel at O'Clock Thursday
night. The wedding had been ad-
vertised and this together with the
interesting feature of the advanced
ages of the couple, attracted the
crowd of merry makers. The Rev.
George T. Smith, colored, pastor of
Prides Chapel A. NJ. E. church, per-
formed the ceremony.
1t was the intention to have the
wedding in front of the court house.
but owing to the chilly weather the
place was changed and the prospect
i've bride and bridegroom led the
surging crowd that stormed the ho-
tel suddenly.
After the ceremony the happy
couple were treated to deluges of
rice and hearty congratulations
and the bride looked as happy as
lark in spring time and as primp
as one half her years. The bride
groom, too, was as young as any
youth.
Mr.. Tillman is rs years of age,
while his bride has seen 80
summers but has few silver hairs.
He took to himself the eighth help
mate, while he is her third affinity.
He is the proud father of sixteen
children and has twenty-five grand
children. She has none to call her
mother but many who know her
have been accustomed for years to
call her Aunt Mandy, and her IA
vorite greeting is honey"
At Wilsonburg, where they will
reside. large wedding reception
was held upon the arrival of the
happy couple there after the cere-
mony. which was attended by many
prominent white and colored peo-
pie, and it proved very delightful
function.

there. A tub of benzine ard a
match figured in the cause of the
rush in that direction. All men
were headed toward Glen Elk. when
the fire department returning met
them and told them "the fire is
out"
AT the skating rink match was
dropped on the floor near the ben
zine and Ralph Smith was slightly
burned about the hands and arms
after the benzine had been ignited
by the match. With presence of
mind he picked up the blazing re-
sceptacle and pitched it into the
middle of the street and then the
fire department made the run. But
little damage was done to the build
ing.
