RUNAWAY STOPS
ON FERRYb0AT
Horse in Mad Dash From
Cleveland Street to Ferry
Boat Here

An exciting runaway occurred
shortly before s o'clock this morning
when a horse belonging to David
Flam, of 735 Cleveland avenue, came
dashing down New Brunswick avenue
into Smith street. barely missing
striking several vehicles and pedes-
trians~ in its path. The horse attach
ed to a light delivery wagon became
frightened while standing in front of
the Elam residence and started to
run away. Three boys whose ages
ranged from ten to fifteen years who
were in the wagon were thrown out
when the wagon turned over in front
of the Perth Amboy Exchange Sta
bles in New Brunswick avenue.
After breaking away from the
wagon when il turned over, the horse
continued on its way down the ave-
nue. and II into Smith street. II
continued its pace down the ferry hill
and crashed through the gates of the
ferry and III the boat where the
animal was halted by two coal wag-
ons blocking both gangways of the
craft. Fortunately the boat had just
arrived in the slip or else the horse
would have gone into the water. Both
of the gates at the ferry were broken
but the horse was unframed.
Patrolman Seaman took charge of
the horse and ook IL 10 the police
headquarters. from where IL was later
sent 10 Anderson's livery stable in
Smith street. II was not until IL
O'Clock that the owner came TO claim
the horse.

Rev. Mr.. Warden, Missioner,
Writes Letter to st. Peters
Telling of Campaign

Rev. Frederick A. Warden. of
Moorestown, N. j., who will conduct
the mission campaign in st. Peters
parish here during the week of March
2S, sen the following letter to the
Practitioners concerning himself.
which was read at all the services at
the church on Sunday:
Trinity Rectory,
Moorestown, n. j.,
March Z, 1919.
To the Parishioners of st. Peters
Church, Perth Amboy, N. j.
My Dear Friends:-On the invita-
ton of your rector, and the endorse
ment of your vestry, I am, God will
ing, coming to conduct a mission in
your parish from March 23 to 50,
thankful to have the duty laid upon
me, and confident that our Heavenly
Father will help us all to accomplish
the purpose which a mission is in
tended to serve. The question at once
presents itself what is a mission and
why do we need it? A mission is an
extraordinary call to the careless, and
an exceptional opportunity to the
spiritually alert.
In that call is involved the effort
to arouse the careless, and awaken
the Indifferent, to respond to the call
and claim of God to their love and
service, and to stimulate the faithful
to more earnest and devoted service.
In short, a mission is a series of spe-
cial services. with a view of gathering
people together to hear the preaching
of Gods word, hat by that word.
souls may be turned to God; and to be
a spiritual tonic to the diligent
christian churchman that he and
she may be 'fervent in spirit serving
the Lord" and seeking the spiritual
well being of others. We need the
mission because so many are not
reached by the ordinary activities and
methods of parish life. and because
those who are reached and interested,
need such times of special refreshing
from the presence of the ord Pray
then for the mission, for your neigh
boris family, friends, for yourself and
your parish and your rector, and the
mission preacher, and our Heavenly
Father will be certain to give what
you ask or something better.
Faithfully yours in the Lord.
FREDERICK A. WARDEN.

John +. Toolan delivered a MASTER
full address on the part the Irish
played in the early history of this
country. Relating the deeds of John
Sullivan in the capture of the Fort

army; Major General Knox, the artil-
lery officer; Richard Montgomery, the
first Continental commander killed in
the revolution; "Saucy Jack" Barry,
the father of the American navy, the
man who refused Lord HowelPS bride
of 100, 900 pounds to surrender the
raider Ehingham to the British, and
the five IONS of Morris O'Brien who
fought Americas first naval victory.
He traced the advent of the Irish into
this country, as slaves into New Eng
land, followed later by ar ever in
creasing flow of sons of Erin to this
shore.

The Very Rev. Dean William p.
Cantwell, chaplain of the council and
pastor of St. Mary's r. c. church, and
John f. Toolan, introduced as the
first member of San Salvador Council
to secur a commission in the U. S.
army, detailed Ireland's glorious
struggle through the ages. Dean
Cantwell dwelt of the history of st.
Patrick and the Irish race, while Mr..
Toolan spoke of the Irish in the early
history of u own country and the
part they played in winning liberty
and independence for the colonies.
1t was a splendid success-the
dinner. Mt was attended by about 200
members of the council, their wives,
friends and guests seated in the spa
cious dining hall of the Packer House.
For ZACH diner there was an unique
green. hat, while the tables contain
ed bouquets of flowers. A menu of
particular excellAnce was served. In
the centre Of the room was the speak
ers table before which was seated
O'Brien's orchestra, while in In open
space there entertainment was fur
nished throughout the evening.
Grand knight James A. Murray was
POSTMASTER and at the completion of
the dinner he opened the program
with an explanation of the event
the double anniversary-and congrat-
ulated Dean Cantwell on his recent
elevation to the post of dean of Mid
dlesex n Sussex counties.
Dean Cantwell was accorded an en-
thusiastic reception when he arose.
He attributed his promotion not to
his own effort but to the great credit
of the grand old st. Mary's parish
of his city.
THE celebration of st. Patrick's
anniversary is a celebration of the
indomitable spirit and courage of the
Irish race" he said. "St. Patrick is
not only a saint of the Irish, but he is
rather a patron saint to the whole
world. Wherever the Irish went, and
where in this world ave they not
gone, they have taken the glory and
love of st. Patrick with them. Other
saints r local or national in their
character but st. Patrick is an inter-
national saint-he belongs to the
whole world, to all humanity.
There are two supreme character
istics of the Irish race, inculcated in
them through love for st. Patrick
love of religion and liberty and the
Irish always rave beer and always
will be apostles of both"

Il. B. Hsviland of the staff Of the
New York Times enlisted in the navy
soon after the United States entered
the war. After additional training at
Brest, France, Mr.. Haviland was as
signed to the destroyer McDougal, on
which he has since served. In a recent
letter he gives this description Of his
trip to France and life on the de-
stroyer:
"There was constant work for the
destroyer sailors. The ship upon which
l am serving was at sea about twenty
six days out Of the month Of August.

Of the shipping has been largely due to

the loss of life low. for which we are
all very thankful.
