ed 500. Billy offered to come Tor
whatever Bryan was paid.
As there was only 500 in sight TO
pay tho whole bill and Bryan demand
ed that, II looked AZ II there was not
much chance to pull on the debate.
The committee was interviewed and
finally agreed to raise the ante to $lSo
Our friend decided to use a little dipio.
macy and 50 wrote Mason that the
committee had appropriated 300 ana
he would receive one half OF the money.
He then wrote Bryan and told MN
what he had done but that ne on tne
side would pay Bryan an additional $eo.
Bryan agreed to this and the debate
was pulled on.
When it was all over our demo-
crotic friend handed Mason $50 Tor
which he was duly thanked. He then
waited for a favorable opportunity TO
settle with Bryan and finally getting
him to one side little handed him $50.
intending to give him the balance when
Mason was out Of sight. Bryan accept
ed the $50 and in stage Whisper
which could be heard all over the room

GROWTH Of CROPS
CHECKED BY COLD
Effect of Past Weeks Weather
on the Crops in South Jer-
sey District.

TRENTON, June 24.-During the
past week weather conditions
throughout New Jersey did not as
sist TO any great extent the various
crops. according to a bulletin issued
by G. Harold Noyes. section director
of the United States Weather Bureau
here.
"Unfavorable weather for nearly a !
the crops prevailed during most Of
the week" the bulletin said. Tenn
perature averaged far too low; in
fact it was close to the low record,
but the cool weather did little injury
except check growth, and possibly
was a help in sections that were too
dry.
AS a rule there was sufficient
moisture over northern portions of
the State. shaving off toward the
southern portions TO a serious lack
Of rain In the southern counties
some early garden truck has been
largely a failure and is now past help.
Sweet potatoes and tomatoes were
seriously threatened with drought
| but Monday morning rains have prob
ably greatly helped them.
Hay and grain are probably only
| slightly subnormal, If any, in middle
and northern areas, and potatoes look
| good. although troubled with beetles
! Fruit has a fine appearance and Gran
berry vines are well advanced and
have suffered no frost damage

BAR BRAWL MAY
END IN MURDER
One Madison Youth Slabs Com
panion, Who Disputed Own
ership of Bottle.
Lspeclnl to the Evening start

MADISON, June 24.-Joseph Bur
nett. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Bur
nett, of Green Village road, is lying
at deaths door in All Souls Hos
pital, Morristown, as a result of sew
eral knife wounds inflicted by Joseph
Murphey in a drunken fight yesterday
at Hickory Tree, near here.
Burnett has not been in condition
to answer questions since the ARRAY,
but Murphey confessed his guilt and
waived hearing yesterday before
Judge William Tyacke, jr. He is now
being held without bail in the Nor
ris county Jail at Morristown to
await the action of the grand jury,
the fixing of bail being deferred by
the recorder until Burnett's condi-
tion can be definitely ascertained.
DIR. A. b. Coultas, who attended the
victim, stated his injuries are seri-
Gus There are several severe cuts
across his chest and arms. But the
dangerous wound is a deep cash in
his stomach.
According to the story told by Muir
phey. the boys, who are both about
twenty-one years old, had been drink
ing together all evening. the tales
ne told OF the amount or lquof con-
sumed readily left the inference that
both lads were intoxicated. He stated
that a dispute arose over the possess
sion of a bottle of liquor. A rough
and-tumble battle ensued, in which
Burnett promised to be the victor. In
order to turn the tide of battle, said
Murphey, he drew his pocket knife,
which has a formidable blade, and
slashed his friend Murphey was
employed by Leroy Burnett. of Hick-
DRY Tree.
The affair occurred almost on the
spot where the old memorable .hick-
CRY tree stood and where President
James Madison tied his horse, SO the
legend goes, on his visit to this part
Of the country. Madison was then
Bottle Hill and was changed in honor
of the visit of the President.
