| are caught at Sewaren and this city
and last week the summer residents
at Tottenyille found that they could
catch them by trolling along the Sta
ten Island shore. Klllies make the
best bait and they are inexpensive.
Charles Wyckof, William Francis
and Albert Haines, of Newark, fshed
at this city Monday and caught some
fine weakfsh and bluefsh. Wyckon
had twelve weakfsh and two bluefsh,
Francis ten veakfsh and three blue
fish, and Haines thirteen weakfsh
and one bluefish. They went out
from Van Pelt's boathouse.
You can find weakfsh of Van
Pelt's boathouse in this city without
much trouble. Frank Ryder, one OF
Van Pelt's employees. caught fourteen
In a half hour Friday night, John
Buchanan caught eighteen Saturday,
]. Mallerd, of New York, had eight

twelve weakfsh. Sunday some of
the catches were. Dan Gallagher, of
this city, sixteen weakfsh; John Bell,
twenty weakfsh; Louis Smedley and
August Elmer, ffty-two weak1sh and

George McDougall, of Amboy, fifteen

Henry Gessing and William Dress
Ter. of Newark, fshed from a row
boat about a mile from the beach at
Atlantic Highlands Saturday, and
between them they caught seventeen
bIuefsh and eleven weakfsh. They
don't know much about fishing and
discarded their rods for hand lines
when the fish began to bite. That
was the pest thing we could have
done" said Dressler, for If We had
stuck to the rods We wouldn't have
had any fish, they bit so hard"
Two parties fished yesterday and
brought back fair catches. One man
got three big cells. The fish are run
ming good just now, and local fish
ermen say it is the best fishing
weather we have had in some time.
Those reported yesterday afternoon:
George Brown, 9 weaks and 4 blues;
Ben Rosen, 3 weaks and 3 cells.

ASHLANDS ARE
BIT PEEVISH

The Ashlands are at a loss to ex-
plain the action of the SeWaren f.
c.. in the way in which they dealt
with them In respect to the game
which they were to play Sunday. 1t
seems that there was a game sched-
uled between the two mines and Sat
urday night Manager Martin, of the
Ashlands, received a communication
from Manager Hall, Of the Sewaren
lads, stating that he had secured a
game with a Staten Island team
through an ex-manager and that a
good guarantee had been secured.
That left the local team without a
contest for Sunday and it was too
late to book one at hat time.
The Ashlands were then compell-
ed to lay off Sunday. 1t is against
the principle of the Ashlands to lay
idle over the weekend and they feel
peeyed because they were dished out
of tn game in such a manner.
They are trying to get the Hill
tops, or Mt. LorettO aggregation for
this week and they will probably
have one of the best games OF the
season. When it is decided for GER
tain who they will play, 1t will be
announced.

Tony's rushes. Jeanette did some
Tony managed to land some telling
punches. The round went to Ross.
Jeanette had a shade the better
Of the third and fourth rounds, only
to have Ross come back and take
the fifth. Twice in the fourth round
Joe landed punches that were label
ed "knockout." One was a right to
the jaw as Ross rushed in, and the
other was a wicked right to the heart
In a clinch. Tony weathered the
storm, however.
Though Ross was wild in the fifth
he fought furiously and the ferocity
of his assault had Jeanette backing
up all the time. Joe got inside OF
many Of the rushes, but the Italians
aggressiyeness earned him the hon
ors. He landed a lucky left swing
that made Joe clinch and himself
took a left hook that would have
made a Sandy Ferguson quit.
The sixth, seventh and eighth
rounds went to Jeanette. Joe gave
Tony a hard beating in the seventh
and eighth, shooting in wicked
punches to the body and then sud
denly shifting to the head with sue
cess. Joe would play for the body
and then suddenly bring a left OIL
right uppercut to the jaw. Jeanette
was fighting viciously and Ross took
terrible punishment.
Back in the ninth came Ross with
a series of fierce rushes that Jean
nette could not stem. Tony brought
a right cross into play that made Joe
think of home and mother. The
| sudden turn Of the tide had the
fans yelling themselves hoarse fol

The. tenth round was the fastest
and fercest of the battle. Ross open

New York, Aug. 2-In one of the
fastest fights between big men that
has been fought in New York in
many months, Joe Jeanette, of
Hoboken, outpointed Tony Ross, of
Century A. C. last night. To the ex-
perts who went to the st. Nicholas

for the Hoboken negro had all that
he could do to pull out a winner.

could give and coming back for

Jeannette's ring generalship and
cleverness won him the laurels.
Ross was the stronger and had
pounds the advantage in weight.
The Italian brought his weight and
strength into play and pulled
Jeanette from start to finish. Tony
made his weight tell In the clinches
and tried Joe considerably in that
manner.
Jeanette had the better of the
third, fourth, sixth, seventh and
eighth rounds. Ross had the second,
fifth and ninth rounds on points,
The first and last rounds were about

punches to body and head.
Joe's left jab vas much in evil

uppercut to advantage, also scoring
on Ross's body with lefts and rights.
Tony's best punch vas a hard right
to the kidneys. 1t was the only
punch he was certain of. Some OF
the others went wild and others
were ~cleverly blocked or slipped by
Jeanette.
Ross was a glutton for punish

looked as If they would have sunk a
battleship. In the middle rounds
Joe shot In powerful let's and rights

SLAYER OF THREE TO HANG
Alleged Murderer of Three Women Must Pay Penalty on GalloWs
 Appeal Lost

Savannah, Ga, May 12.-J. c. Hun ter, the alleged murderer of three women, is to die on the gallows in the Savannah jail Hunters alleged victims were his wife, Mrs. Maggie Hunter, and Mrs. Amanda Gribble and her daughter, Mrs. Ohlander. The tragedy occurred in the Gribble home, in Perry street, on December 10, 1909. Mrs. Hunter is said to have had trou- ble with her hsuband, and was staying temporarily at the Gribble home.
 Neighbors found the three women dead in the house, their skulls crushed in from blows with a hammer.
 A general raid was made by the au- thorities on all the negro resorts in Savannah, and half a thousand ne groes were taken into custody. Later, however, suspicion pointed to Hunter as the perpetrator of the outrage. He was convicted of the murder of his wife and sentenced to death. His case was carried to the highest courts, but the efforts to save him from the gal lows have proven fruitless.

REBELS HEM IN CHIHUAHUA
CHICAGO OF MEXICO CUT OFF
 FROM WORLD.
lneurrectos' Army at Gates of Cit) Ready to Make Attack-Feople
 Are in Panic.

Chihuahua, Mexico, May 13.-Two thousand insurrectos, part of the band operating in the districts south of here. are reported to be marching on Chihuahua.
 Already the advance guards are en- camped around the city.
 An armed mob just before daylight entered Nombre de Dios, suburb, footed all the stores and took all the horses, despite the presence of 1,500 federal troops in nearby barracks, and escaped. Santa Eulia, an important mining camp, 12 miles east of the city, has been abandoned by all the municipal officials because of the ap- proach of the insurrectos. The place is now regulated wholly by Americans employed in the mines.
 This city, long in dread of an at tack, is now in greater fear than ever, because of the extreme violence shown by the insurrectos in their northward march. The whole district embracing Durango, Torreon and in termedate towns, has been in state approaching anarchy.
