killed an anarchist who invaded his
home, wounded the chief, shot the Of

severely wounded the family coach.
man, James Foley. Harry is seriously
hurt, Foley will probably recover, and
the chief was stabbed in the hand, his
wound being trivial.
Shot in His Own Home.
The assailant entered Shippy's home
while the chief and his son were alone
in the room. The man is said to have
handed the chief a letter, which he
opened and began to read. Almost i'm
mediately the anarchist drew a revol-
yer and fired at Harry. The boy fell
and the father grappled with his as

Foley to the Rescue.
Foley, attracted by the shooting,
rushed to his employers aid. AS the
servant entered the anarchist broke
from the chiefs grasp and shot Foley
twice. Again the chief closed with
him and the man turned upon him with
a knife. Shippy attempted to grasp the
weapon and received a deep cut in the
hand.
Shippy Uses Pistol.
The chief then drew his revolver
and poured shot after shot into the
body of the anarchist. every bullet
taking effect, the man falling to the
floor dead.
Inspired by Leo's Death.
The attack on the chief is believed
to have been inspired by the recent
activity of the Chicago police following
the killing of Father Leo Heinrichs in
Denver. Immediately following that
tragedy attempts to trace the crime
to a conspiracy Matched in Chicago
were begun.
Man Looked Suspicious.
The chief said: when the man
handed the envelope to me the thought
struck me that he was up to some
wrong. I did not like his looks. He ap-
peared to me to be an anarchist"
Wife Said He Had Pistol.
Shippy says he grabbed the nan
and called to his wife, who was in the
next room, to see if the man had a re
volver. When she said he had, Shippy
tried TO hold the man with one hand
and draw his own revolver with the
other. The man jerked away and just
then the son entered the room and the
stranger began shooting.
Chicago Society Formed.
The local police discovered that a
society of Italians had been formed
here, and also that several local cler-
gymen received threatening letters
and documents sent out by the Italian
organization. These were carefully
worded, and an examination showed
that the prosecutions based on them
would probably fail because of their
technical shortcomings.

Do You Remember Tracy !


An oil portrait of John Tracy, the
one-armed wood carrier back in the
COS, is on exhibition in one of the win
dows Of Runyon's book store. The
picture, which is the property of Har-
rie A. Freeman, was painted by a Miss
Flagler twenty-five years ago and was
given to Mr.. Freeman by the late Mrs.
Andrew Reasoner. Tracy was in the
employ of the Morris & Essex railroad
and it was his duty to carry the wood
used in the wood burning locomotives
of those days, from che pile back of
the depot to the station platform
where it was stacked up ready to be
put in the tenders of the engines. He
used donkey and cart to transport
the wood and the pictures shows the
old man standing by his donkey with
the cart bearing a load wood. When
the picture was painted Tracy re-
quested Miss F'lagler not to paint in
his features and for this reason the
face is blurred beyond recognition.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
Large Savings Made Under the New
system at the State Hospital.

Large Savings Made Under the New
System at the State Hospital.
Among the changes ia the manage.
ment Of State institutions has been
that giving the managers authority to
advertise for bids for supplies, and
providing that the purchases shall be
made by contract. The Messrs. Geo.
w. Jaegle and John 9. Eisele, Of New
ark, who are members of the board of
managers of the Morris Plains Asylum
have given the subject close attention
and last week they had prepared a
brief summary of the results under
the new ana the old systems. A large
saving is shown. They said Saturday
that " it certainly pays to advertise. 2
For instance, the cost of beef per
pound during the months of August,
September and October in 1907, under
the old plan, was 9.319 cents a pound,
while under the contract arrangement
for the same period this year it was
8.35 cents pound. Lamb was b. l66
cents a pound and this year was 1O
cents. Mutton was 9.722 cents a
pound in 1907 and 10 this year, ham
was 1913 cents and is now 11.98 cents,
while bacon was 14.25 cents and is now
11.98 cents.
The quantity consumed in these
months this year was 9S,l72 pounds
and in 1907 it was 109,6S9. Tile actual
cash saving was s2, 2,450,64, the amount
paid in 1907 being Sl0,S27.73 and this
year IS, ,376S9.
