had been employed daily at work upon
tho State House addition since the

that such sentence be imposed as

A $1,000 Fire at Perkintown

The barn, crib house, sweet potato
house and other outbuildings on Asa G.
Turner's farm, above Perkintown, were
burned down OH Tuesda.- afternoon be-
tween one and two o'clock. The farm is
tenanted by Charles E. Harbeson, whose
younger son is supposed TO have started
the fire back of the barn by thoughtlessly
dropping a lighted match. Mr.. Harbeson
and farm helpers were in the field on the
opposite side of the road and the fire had
got such a Roadway that not even two
calves could be gotten out when they ar
rived at the barn.
The dry buildings burned rapidly and
it was with difficulty that the house was
saved.
The barn was built five years ago and
the crib house TWO years ago. The loss
is estimated at 81, 800, covered by $500 in
surance. Mr.. Harbeson also sustained g
loss of his machinery, implements, har.
ness, wagons, grain, hay, etc. lie viii
recover $3.50 insurance, which will moi
much more than cover half his loss.
Mr.. Harbeson wishes to thank those
who assisted in fighting the fire.

Sons of Veterans in State Camp

The 28tll encampment Of the New Jer-

The boys of Camp No. SO were royalty
entertained by the members of the Red
Bank Camp, who left nothing undone to
make the entertainment feature of the
encampment one of the most enjoyable
parts of the convention.
On Thursday when the convention adj
journed for dinner tile delegates were
agreeably surprised to find a long line OF
automobiles lined up in front OF the Bor-
ough Hall and they were informed that
they would be given an hours run. This
sightseeing tour took in Red Bapk, the
surrounding country, the Riverside drive
along the beautiful Shrewsbury river and
the world famous Rumson Road. This
highway, which is considered to be one
of the best in the world, passes through a
country whose natural scenery can not be
be surpassed, and added to this the pala-
tial homes and picturesque grounds upon
which money has been lavishly expended.
Everything seems to be as beautiful as
work of nature and art could make it and
forms a scene long to be remembered.
In a short address of welcome the
Mayor extended to the Sons of veterans
the freedom of the town. All buildings Of
the municipality were open for their in
spection. The regulation badge of the
