Charles E. Hansbury had an unpleas-
ant experience Friday evening. He was
driving down Garden street and ap-
preaching an automobile. He turned to
the right to pass the auto and at the
same time man driving colt, going
in the same direction as the auto, turned
to the left to pass it. The result was
that the colt took notion to land in
the carriage being driven by Mr.. Hans
bury and there was quite mixup for
time. TheI carriage was slightly damag-
ed, but the occupant escaped with
very slight bruises.
Henry /. Worrell, night turnkey at
the Jail, has moved into the residence
the prison. Sheriff Stecher
will reserve one room for his occupancy

The house referred to was built when it |
was thought there was to be jail |
warden in addition to the Sheriff, and |
the residence was intended for the
of the former. Sheriff Har-
bert was the first to occupy the house,
the appointment of warden having
been allowed to drop. Sheriffs Bower
and Fenton located their deputies in
the house.
Agents of the state game farm ire en-
endeavoring to learn what has become
Of the quail that were brought from
North Carolina and which have disap-
peared. For five years these quail have
been brought north and turned out in
South Jersey, but no trace of them can
now be found. 1t is the belief of many
persons that the birds, not liking the
colder climate of the north, have migrat-
ID south, while Others point to the fact
hat quail never fly that far and these
after are of the opinion that the birds
perished. On the result of the investi-
CATION will depend the question of
whether any further attempts will be
made to bring more of the birds from the
south to this climate.
