MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
Tne Friday niglfc concert in tins
borough has become' so popular that
poople are coming from a number of
outside towns to enjoy the fine music
rendered so kindly by the Union Band.
, This Friday night the entire program,
beginning with the “Ideal March”
and continuing with “The Sweetest
Story Ever Told,” “The Charmer
Waltz,” “The Court Jester,” march,
“Tolona Overture,” “Down Where
the Wurtzburger Flow’s,” march,
“Concordia Waltz,” “Hiawatha,” “A
Pickaninny Christening, ” march, to
the end, the last piece being “Home
Sweet Home,” was beautifully render
ed and there were several who could
not -keep from dancing. Not only
children were “tripping the light
fantastic toe.” but some young ladies
standing in the shadow, enjoyed a
waltz on the sidewalk outside the
crowd, while others said it was diffi
cult tor them to keep still. There
was about one hundred people from
New Brunswick, South River and
Sayreville among the crowd. When
the band played “Hiawatha” they re
ceived an encore that they kindly
responded to by repeating it and the
motorman of a trolley car coming
along just then, stopped the car and
waited until the piece ended.
A CRAB STORY.
A certain man in this borough stated
that he had caught a half bushel bas
ket of crabs Thursday. Not long after
wards another party said the man told
him that he had caught only eight
dozen. While the two parties were
talking it over and comparing notes
and the reporter stood waiting, an
other rarty happened along and said
lie bad seon' the catch and the man
had just throe dozen crabs. Fearing
that someone else might come along
and bring ttie catch dowTn to a cipher,
the reporter concluded to drop the
subject for fear of losing the item;
for three dozen crabs was better than
none at all.

A ooting match between G. Ivans
and Jj. Boland will take place at
Mechanicsville Monday for $25 a side.
The shooting will begin at 1 p. m.

It is thought that work being slack
on the coal docks, is affecting trade
in more ways than one. The people
off of the boats have always been
extra good customers at the different

that so few boats are coming in at the
docks makes it apparent that the mer
chants must miss that portion ol their
customers. That is the one cause for
the dullness in trade that the mer
chants complain of so much.

FIRST GUN IN NAVAL WAR.

Heavy <*im Fire.
BAH HAHBOH. Ail*?. 8.— What is be
lieved to have been the first gun in the
game of mimic war that is being play
ed off the eastern New England coast
between two fleets of the navy was
heard here In the direction of Mount
Desert rock.
The “enemy" has theoretically been
threatening the coast for a period of
about two days and a half, but up to
this time none or me vessels oi me at
tacking fleet had heen sighted. At an
early hour several vessels, believed to
have heen a part of Admiral Samis'
fleet, were sighted some distance off
shore. lint disappeared shortly after.
Last night the inhabitants of the
town of Ktlen. generally known as Bar
Harltor. were startled by the sound of
heavy tiring off at sea. The weather
was clear and a full moon was shining
brightly, so that observation offshore
was possiltle for some miles.
It hardly seemed as if the "enemy"
would choose stub conditions to run
tlie gantlet of Admiral Barker's patrol,
and as the tiring only lasted about live
minutes it was the general belief that
the attack was in the nature of a feint.
Clear weather is predicted for the
next forty-eight hours, so that the "en
emy" will probably have a hard task
to evade the defending squadron, make
a harbor and hold it for five hours. If
lie accomplishes that lie will win the
game.

A TURKISH VICTORY.
Saltan'* Troop* Drive Back a Forte V
of Bulgarians. \
SALONIKA. Turkey. Aug. 8.—Four V
battalions of Turkish troops supported v
by artillery have met and ranted a
body of 1,700 Bulgarians near Soro
vltch.
A band of 300 insurgents bas ap
peared near tlie railway bridge over
the river Yardar, two Lours distant
from this city.
The great fodder depots at Samanli,
Aydirli and Harmanli have been
burned. ' - v
Bulgarian bands have oebomi,^ Kru
shevo and are besieging other vlT
near Monastir.
The situation is getting worse, ant
general rising is feared.
Turkish troops are ooueentratii
near Krushevo. and an engagement
imminent. —
The Bulgarian inhabitants ef a num
ber of villages have tied to the moun
tains for refuge. The railways have
asked that the troops guarding the
lines be quadrupled, hut this would en
tail the employment of 30.000 soldiers,
and in view of the impoverished treas
ury the government will find it diffi
cult to comply with the request.
It is confidently believed that the
porte, in conformity with its formal
declarations, will employ only regular
troops to suppress the insurrection, as
ll iwni iitwur- mm iiiijiui umi 11 is nu
Turkey to avoid excesses such as cer
tainly would be the outcome of the em
ployment of the undisciplined Albanian
troops.
The fresh insurrectionary outbreak i
in Macedonia, which was believed to M
be impossible, has produced a sense- H
tion every where. It is believed that
the latest provocations by the Turkish
troops drove the insurrectionists to de
spair.
The Bulgarian govoinment is re
solved to maintain friendly^ relations
with the porte and to prevefK hands
from crossing the frontier, but a popu
lar movement is feared in the event of
massacres of peaceful Macedonians by
the Turkish soldiery.
