Jealous He Shot His Rival.

William Davis was arrested at Port
Norris Tuesday charged with shooting
William Cutsinger Monday night, be-
cause, it is alleged, Davis feared Gut
singer was winning the affections of
Miss Emma Fields, the formers house
keeper.
Recently Cutsinger came from In
diana to Port Norris to engage in the
oyster industry and secured board with
Davis.
Davis at once became jealous and
made the statement that if matters
didn't improve, Cutsinger would be
obliged to move or take his medicine. :"
Miss Fields complained that Davis
came home Monday night in an ugly
mood and became abusive, whereupon,
assisted by Cutsinger, she made her
escape to the home of her mother, Mrs,
Elizabeth Fox. Procuring revolver,
Davis started in pursuit of them.
A friend of Cutsinger sent word to
him that Davis was after him with a
gun, but the messenger arrived too
late. When Davis arrived at the Fox
home he opdned the door and, the
police say, began firing as he entered.
The first bullet struck Cutsinger in the
feshy portion of the arm.
Davis ran forward and pressing the
muzzle against his rivals breast pulled
the trigger, but the cartridge failed to
explode. Cutsinger seized a club and
felled Davis to the floor, inf1icting a
deep wound in his head.
He was restored to consciousness by a
physician and, after his wound was
dressed, was arrested. He was arraign-
ed before Justice of the Peace Bara-
clough yesterday and sent to Jail in
default of $1,000 bail Cutsingers s
wound is not dangerous.
Over in Jail last night Davis declared
that he was sorry he had not killed his
man, and would if his revolver had
been any good. Davis is fifty years old.

CITY WINS GAME.
Special to the Pioneer.


Atlantic City, July 14.-Bridgeton
lost the first game in Atlantic City to.
day by a f1uke Just before the game
there was hard rain, and the gray
elled park was soft and sloppy in con-
sequence, making fast work impossible
until after the game had progressed
awhile and the sun came out and dried
off the grounds.
Bridgeton went in the game with a
dash and played with ginger from the
start More was back in the game and
played second base brilliantly. Eisen-
berger was in the box and did good
work, although he had trouble in the
first inning with the wet ball and a
couple of hits and some bad fielding
by reason of the wet ball, but Atlantic
got four runs in the opener.
Bridgeton outbatted Atlantic City,
the men venting the ball solid and
driving it far. Had the base paths
been fast the hits would have totalled
more bases. Marten especially hit we'll
Knox played a star game. One catch
was made as he fell, but he held the
ball. Another one hand scoop was fine.
The umpiring was ESPECIALLY fine, all
of the players commenting him.
News, the big catcher, made freak
home run. He hit line drive to centre
and it rolled into one of the horse show
stable. Ball opened the barn door, Sc
cured the ball and came within a
shadow of catching News at the plate.
The fiuke hit sent a man home ahead
of News.
The bunting of the Bridgeton boys
drew lots of applause from the crowd.
The Atlantic City pitcher had plenty
OF speed, but Bridgeton hit hard and
showed as strong as the seashore team.
The score =

THE RAILROADS AND POL
TICS.

While one school of politics. not
confined to either party, teaches
that the octopus chase is just begun,
the country is admonished by prac-
tical m en- that it is imperative that
S., OOO,OOe,0O0 be raised by the rail-
roads now in operation for improve
ments for repairs, for terminals and
for additional rolling stock. In this
estimate is no provision for extern
sions, th ough it is purposed to ex-
pend large percentage of the stu
pendous sum for double trackage.
A railroad Is but an instrument Of
commerce, just as pillow is utensil
of agriculture or saw or ADJ a tool
of architecture. Railroads are in
dispensable to our civilization. W.
cannot get along without them, and
the better the road the better it is
tor every patron of the road, wheth-
er he be producer or consumer, and
most men are both. Not to allow a
railroad to earn enough to improve
its physical condition after paying
fixed charges is as foolish and as
wasteful as to withhold fertilizer
from the field or deny adequate cul-
tivation of the crop.
The best railroad in the United
States is now spending millions in
the Improvement of it's physical
properties, and that too when freight
rates are lower than in any other
country in the world. Many Of our
railroads are daily impaired for lack
OF funds with which to mend and
darn tracks, bridges and rolling
stock. But the octopus chasers cry
out against adequate rates to pay
interest on bonds and beggarly divi-
dends on stocks, and pronounce as
iniquity any surplus that is boarded
for improvements. 1t is time for
the public to look on railroad as
business enterprise and not as an is
sue in politics. Washington Post.

CATHOLIC MARRIAGES LA W.

the new laws of the Catholic Church
concerning betrothal and marriage
which are to be promulgated Easter
Sunday in every Catholic diocese in the
world, go into effect at noon on that
day.
Under these laws any marriage con-
tracted between Catholics will be alb
solutely void in the eyes of the church
unless it be celebrated in the presence
of duly qualified priest and two wit
nesses. At present the marriage of a
Catholic couple by non-Cathoilc
clergy man or by civil magistrate IS
valid, although it is considered Illicit,
and the persons contracting it render
themselves liable to excommunica
ton.
Protesta nts married by minister
will be regarded as lawfully married
und er the new law.
Marriages between Catholics in Prot
estant churches or registry offices will
be for Catholics not only sinful, but in
valid, and the persons who contract
them will have only gone through an
empty ceremony and will be no mere
husband and wife than they were be-
fore. This Law binds all Catholics, even
though they are apostate or excommun-
icated.
But it does not affect those who are
not and never have been Catholics.
Conse quentIy, Protestants and non
Catholics are outside the scope Of the
law, in the eyes of the Church, and
such marriages are recognized by the
Catholic Church, all else permitting it,
as real and true marriages.
The principles contained in the new
laws have long been recognized in the
church, it is explained, and their recent
PRONUNCIATION is said to be due to the in
crease of marriages before civil magis-
trates in this country and abroad.

FRED. SASSCER,
THE TRAIN OPERATIVES
LAW.

On the 4th of March there. is
scheduled to become operative fed
eral law linn iting the hours of service
of all classes of train operatives, par
ticularly pgineers, firemen, train
dispatchers. telegraphers, tower men
and signal operators. While prim-
a rily affecting the railroads them
selve s, it is a measure in which the
public is materially interested, since
it will have tendency to check that
possibility of a trainman being kept
at his post beyond the limit of hu.
man endurance to the peril OF the
pa ssengers whose lives are to de-
gree in his keeping. According to
the law. nine hours will constitute a
davis working limit, while it will be
unlawful to keep any trainman at
his post for a longer stretch than
sixteen hours. 1t has been alleged
on several occasions that disastrous
wrecks have been caused by sleepy
men en- duty, whose betuddled brains
have been not equal to the emergen-
cies of the moment, and the new law
is designed in part to prevent rep
etition of such possibility. 1t is to
be said in the defense of the railroads
that in many instances the corpora
tions themselves have not been en-
tirely to blame for the overworked
condition of their men. The induce
ments of overtime pay have caused
many EN- ployes to overestinate and
overtax their strength. The public,
however, has the right to expect
capable and physically competent
men to handle the trains and to re-
ceive and execute the orders; other
wise travel becomes a perilous neces-
sity. In view of this fact, the pub
lie carriers should cooperate with
the intent of the law to the best of
their ability. A portion of the COM
panies are claiming that an extern
tion of time is. necessary to ACCOM-
modate themselves to the new CON
ditions, and. hearing will be held
the latter part of the month on this
gu estion. The Baltimore and Ohio
has set good example by setting to
work Immediately to make the
cha nges required by the law, and by
the time set for Its operation it's sys-
tenn sh ould be prepared to make 8
satisfactory compliance.-Baltimore
