Baptist Leave on Steamboat
Sirius for Trip to Valley
Grove, |. |.
CROWD Is JOLLY ONE
Doubtful Weather Did Not
Keep Many Home Good
Time is Certainty.

To the strains of a stringed or
chestra the steamboat, Sirius, u
bearing nearly 1000 JOY seekers anx-
ious lest the weather be inclement
left the N. Y. and N. J. Steamboat
Company's dock at 9:20 o'clock this
morning. On board were members
of the Baptist churches and Sunday
schools from Tottenville, South Am
boy, Metuchen and this place, and
others who enjoy a days outing, OF
which most of the time is spent on
the water. To be exact there were
S67 excursionists ON board. accord
Ing to Customs Inspector Stacey M.
Coutts.
1t is believed that the crowd would
have been larger. If the prospects for
fairer day could have been we'll an
t1cipated. but most of those on board
were sanguine about the weather
saying, "Oh. it will clear up" There
were few more on the boat than
the number that went on the excur-
sion last year, about 912 being the
number that participated last sum-
mer.
The good boat. Sirius" is suppos-
I., L
O'Clock. but as the start was DELAYED
later than 8 o'clock, and as the
steamboat had to buck heavy tide
going up, 1t was the general opin-
Ion that the pleasure seekers would
not reach their destination until at
least o'clock. The return trip is
supposed to begin at o'clock, and
the course may lie around by Sandy
Hook, but as that route would take
about one-half hour longer, the cap
tain of the boat said he thought he
would come back through the Staten
Island sound. the way 1t went.
Every year the Baptists have an
outing, which 1s coducted on q CO.
operative basis, and hundreds of peo-
pie here and in the vicinity have be-
come habitual patrons of the annual
fete.
The Sirius" is q three decker,
though most of the excursion1sts
lined the upper and hurricane decks
as the boat steamed. Everyone
seemed In happy mood as he or she
waved a handkerchief and cast a
smile at friends on shore.
The first to get on the boat was
a young lad, who reached the dock
about O'Clock and waited patiently
until he was allowed to board the
craft. Most of the crowd came be-
tween o'clock and 9:15, when Rev.
w. H. Bawden, pastor of the Bap-
tist church, OF this city, called "alI
aboard" and the gang plank was
raised. A great big full moon will
accompany the excursionists back II
the sky is clear, and the boat is ex-
pected to arrive home between $50
and 10 o'clock.

Squad Make Crusade.

Fines aggregating SIS were I'M
posed by S. p. G. A. agents on four
local men yesterday on charges of
driving a icted horses. The arrests
were made by Agent Louis c.. Teed
and a squad of s. P. c. A. represen-
tatives of Newark, following another
phase of a crusade here. Jens L.
Mathiasen, an old offender, was caus-
ed to pay fine of $50 for allowing
Charles Smith, an employe, to drive
horse with very bad sore on its
back.
Agent Teed and the court made It
plain that Mathiasen was not being
prosecuted, as he had been fined
twice before for similar offenses and
had been criticised by the police in
other cases. He did not care to pay
the fine when imposed, whereupon
Justice of the Peace Pickersgill said
he wished he would not pay 1t, as he
contended three months term in
jail would be more effective. The
contractor thereupon paid promptly.
Hans G. Hansen, a merchant of
Sayre avenue, and Joseph Kuginak,
cripples with one and two wooden
legs respectively, were each fined
$40 for driving lame horses. Samuel
Aston, a negro driver, employed by

Samuel SWerda Said to Have Mar
ried Girls in Manv Places for Their
Money and Deserted Them Later
PRISONER HELD IN HEAVY BAIL

Declaring that he made a prac-
tice of marrying young girls to i'll
treat and rob them, Chief of Police
Patrick j. Burke severely scored
Samuel Swerda, of 378 Fayette
street, when he was arraigned before
Recorder Pickersgill in police court
this morning. Swerda was arrested
on the specific charge of beating
and robbing Mrs. Mary Swerda and
was lodged behind jail bars in de-
fault of bail in the amount of $1,000
bail to await the action of the grand
jury. The recorder said after the
hearing that the man should be given
not less than ten years In prison.
1t is the belief of the police chief
that Swerda has been going from
place to place marrying girls for
their money and is therefore a multi
bigamist. He has been married to
Mary but seven weeks. She knew
him but very short time before

OVER TRANSFER

Residents to Oppose Saloon.

Residents in the vicinity Of Market
and Meade streets are opposed to the
third attempt now underway to place
a saloon in their midst. Several OF
them are preparing to frame a re-
monstrance to oppose a transfer of
the saloon license of Paul Piasecki
from III Hall avenue to 879 Mar
ket street. They intend to have 1t
drawn and duly signed by a majority
of property owners and residents in
the vicinity Of Market and Meade
streets for presen alton at the next
meeting Of the Board of Excise Com
missioners on Thursday night, Aug
ust 7.
Piaseckfs application for the
transfer was entered at the last
meeting Of the board and was laid
over under the rules for action at
the next meeting. The simple reason
for the opposition is that the people
do not want saloon in the locality
into which 1t is proposed to trans
fer the license.
