LITTLE GIRL BITTEN
BY AH UGLY DOC.
Emma Selb, the youngest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Selb, who keep a
bakery on Broadway, carried a bone
and some meat down the lane back of
their honse to a yard where a small
dog, belonging to Mr. Michael Welsh,
was, and after the dog had eaten it
she, being ery fond of dogs, began to
pot it. Mr. Welsh's little girl was
there and said to Emma : "He won't
bite yon, " so she put her hand over
the fence to pat the dog when he
sprang np and bit her through the
right side of her lower lip.
They think he probably intended the
bite for the side of her face as the
right cheek is soratohed from the
lower part of the right eye down to
the bite on the lip. Welsh's little
girl attracted Mrs. Selb's attention
and when the child got to her home
her mother bathed. her face and did
all she could to relieve her. In the
meantime Mr. Selb had responded to
the calls of his wife and he wanted
to kill the dog. After a while the
child complained of the lip paining
her and that the pain went all they
way np to her eye, so they sent her
sister with her to Dr. Albright who
canterized the wound and put plasters
on and the child became easier and
able to be out. The doctor advised
them not to have thejlog killed yet,
thinking it better so they could be
satisfied thatjhe was all right and that
the bite was only the result of an
ugly disposition on the part of the
animal, as he has been in the habit of
rushing at people as they pass. It
will be remembered that only a few
months ago Emma had the diphtheria
as well as two of her sisters, one of
whom died. The dog is tied up in
Welsh's baok jard.
FELL ON THE BRIDGE.
One of our oitizens 'took a tumble
on the heautifully?constructed Qeorge
street bridge Monday evening. He
caught his toe in one of the boards
rising above the others and fell down.
The unevenness of the flooring of the
bridge was mentioned by us at the
time the [bridge was built and we
were not 'surprised when Mr. Dash
fell. We refrain from mentioning his
name (although we owe him one) for
a number ofjladies laughed at him at
the time and told him he would be in
the News, as the correspondent stood
there smiling, but we are going to
heap ooals of fire on his head and
hope that he will appreciate it.
A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Wheeler Brothers finished the rais
ing of the house on the Dixon proper
ty Thursday, and it is now ready to
be romodc'.ied into a bakery for Mr.
Lnoitt's occupancy. The building
looks remarkably high, as it was
formerly a three story and basement,
the upper floor being a mansard house
and will now be a four story building.
Very soon the Dixon property will
be a thing of the past. Ever since
the death of Mr. Dixon, the former
owner, the property has been going
down and its appearanoe was anything
but an ornament to the block. Now
those who visit the place who have
formerly beenjjaccustomed ' to seeing
the old buildings, will be astonished.
MINIATURE FARMS.
When walking around Amboy one
Iooines across numerous miniature
farms wliioh it is a pleasure to look
at and which are looking fine in spite
of the past drought. On First street
Mr. Al. Rue has a fine vegetable gar
den, making a big showing of corn,
. beans, tomatoes and large enough to
plough with horse power. It shows
great oare and attention. He had just
ploughed it this week and when one
looked at it they would almost imagine
by^the furrows that they were gazing
at a large field of corn.
The Evening News makes a special

DROPPED POOKETBOOK;
TWO ARRESTS MADE.
William Ware and George Stout
weie arrested by Marshal Monaghan
Thursday afternoon on complaint of
George Freitchneck, of Bordentown
avenue. They were aocused of having
robbed him of a pocketbook] contain
ing $26 and a brass check.
It appears that Frietchneck had
been purchasing something at one of
the stands at the picnic at Swan Hill
Grove and thought lie put his pocket
book back in his pocket. He had on
a pair of overalls over his trousers
and had put the pocketbook between
the overalls and trousers instead of
putting it in his pocket. It dropped
down and Ware, it is said, was seen
to pick it up and shortly walk away
and go down among the bushes in the
vicinity of the grove, where he was
joined by Stout.
When Freitohneck discovered the
Iom of his pocketbook he was told by
a party that Ware had it. He said he
thought that Ware was only playing a
joke on him for the sake of a little
fun, or he would have told him be
fore. Upon looking for the two men
they had disappeared. Freitchneck
told Marshal Monashan, who later on
arrested Ware and Stout and upon
searching them $2 and the brass check
were found upon Ware and what had
become of the rest of the $26 is not
known yet. The two were taken to
Borough Hall and locked up. The
check was returned to Mr. Freitch
neck so he could go to his work Fri
day, as without it he could not do so.
RAIN STOPPED PICNIC
The picnio of 'Local 435 Goal Hand
lers Union, June 11th, at Swan Hill
Grove, was a great success in the
evening, but about half past nine it
began to rain and the large crowd
that had gathered there began to start
for their homes. Very few had taken
umbrellas and were forced to go home
through the downpour for it rained
harder and harder. So what would
have proved to be a very enjoyable
affair was very disappointing to many.
It was verv quiet and orderly and
they were doing a rushing business
when it started in raining. Kerr's
orchestra furnished the music for the
danciflg and parties were heard to say
it was the best music that had been
on the Hill at any of the picnics and
must have been very good for it is
seldom that home talent receives its
share of praise.
