SOUTH AMBOY
RAISED DISTURBANCE.
Ynung Men in Disgraceful Row an Meinzer's
Corner? Police on Guard.
A disgraceful fight. occurred between
two yonnc follows on Meinzer's oor
ner Saturday afternoon and again one
of the lareo panes of glass in Mein
zer's window broke, with a crash as
one of the fellows pushed the other
against it. Not satisfied with that,
the ono finally sot the other in
the road, and threw him down. He
laid there without offering to
strike back while he was brutally
pounded and kicked. Marshal Minnick
came after the fight was over and one
had disappeared and the other said
ho would pay for the glass.
Those who saw him going down the
street with the marshal supposed he
wns under arrest but he was not and
he only has to pay for the seoond pane
of glass broken within a few weeks
through his strenuous exertions. It
was very quiet around that oorner in
the evening as Marshal Monaghan
was on guard, but it was rather noisy
again on Sunday.
CAUSE FOR REJOICING.
Rain Comes in Gentle] Showers and Sinks
Into the Ground.
Rain at last ; lovely showers that
sink into the earth, helping seeds to
germinate instead of a downpour of
rain to wash them out of the ground.
Everything begins to look bright and
prettv already. The farmors, in fact,
everyone feels thankful for it.
The dust that has found it's way
through the windows into the houses,
tormenting good housekeepers, who
declared there was no use dusting for
no sooner done than they could write
their name on the dust covered arti
cles, and the pedestrians who were
covered with dust every time a vehicle
of any kind passed by them, have
ceased to exclaim about it, for it is
finally conquerod and no one will be
tormentod with it for a while at least.
The people had gotten so used to
having no rain that they smiled whon
the mist started in Saturday evening
and some said, "It is going to rain,"
and they looked, I told you so, when
it apparently cleared again. But it
came at last and everybody is happy,
except those who wouldn't be happy
over anything.
BULGARIA AND TURKEY.
rormlnc Rapproclimeat the Oily
Hope For Macedonia.
SOFIA, June 9. ? At an immense
?pen air meeting held here Michailov
Bki, the president of the Macedonian
(foinniittee, declared tliat the only hope
for Macedonia was a direct rapproch
tnent between Bulgaria and Turkey.
The Macedonian committee had too
long been regarded by the world as
the tool of Russia, who could stop the
Turkish atrocities in a single day if
ehe wished. He advised his hearers to
support Bulgaria in exhausting every
means for a pacific solution of the
Macedonian question.
The meeting adopted resolutions in
favor of an appeal to the Bulgarian
government for a diplomatic solution
and a recourse to .arms as a last re
sort.
