Daily JERSEY, MONDAY FUNERAL OF WELLIADE KENT. Many Relatives, Friends and Prominent Citizens pay Their Lest Tribute to tho Dead. The funeral of our prominent and honored citizen, William Kent, who passed. quietly away in full trust of his Master on the morning of July 23, took place this afternoon from his late residence, 115 Church street, at 2.30 o'clock, and at the First Baptist Church of which he was a member and officer for many years, at 3 o'clock. The 'services both at the resdence and church were largely attended by relatives and friends among whom were many of our prominent citizens, who had learned to honor the deceased for his uprightnesa and well rounded Christian character.

The services at the house were performed by Rev. M. V. McDuffle, assisted by the Rev. J.

W. Searles, of Metuchen, who prayed earnestly for God's blessing upon the services, and beseeching Him to guide the bereaved family into paths which would terminate in lives equally as useful, and be fraught with the same blessings to mankind as that of the deceased. At the church the services were singularly impressive throughout. Rev. Mr.

McDutte, who conducted the services, took for the foundation of his remarks in reference to the life and work of the deceased the, words founds in 1st Samuel xx. 18 Then Jonathan said to David, to-morrow is the new moon; and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will the empty." Mr. McDuffie said that the life, the ex. ample and cheerful presence of the decehsed would be singularly missed. Not: only would he be missed from the fact that his sent at home and at the church would be empty, but his ever- wise council in matters pertaining to his family and to the church of God would be felt.

He was a man who always had a kind word for all, even the most humble person. This won for him the large circle of friends which was his to enjoy. We miss him to-day. Who will take his place? On the casket, which was of rosewood heavily mounted with silver, were these words: At Rest. Died July 23, 1891, William Kent, aged 76 years, 10 months and 6 days.

The Interment, which was under the charge of Undertaker Lane, was in Elmwood Cemetery. The Work of One of Elizabeth's Wild Beasts. In Elizabeth, on Saturday evening, little James Steve, aged 8, was sent to John Edge. worth's for milk. A big and ugly dog which Edgeworth.

kept there was unchained in the yard and at once sprang upon the little boy, knocked him down end began to tear his flesh from him, beginning at the head. Mrs. Edgeworth tried to call the dog off when she beard the -boy's cry, but could do nothing with the beast, and the child was only rescued when some men had been called with clubs--with which they beat off the dog. James presented a shocking appearance. His head and face were covered with blood.

His scalp WAS torn off from the crown of his head to the base of his ears. One of his ears was nearly severed. An ambulance was called and the boy was taken as quickly as possible to the City Hospital. the scalp wound the doctors found three ugly cuts on the upper part of the body. All were caused by the dog's teeth.

The blood was washed away and the wounds sewed up. It required Afty-eight stitches. The physicians said it was the worst case of the kind they ever saw, and for some days the boy's condition would be critical. As he bas a robust constitution they think he will reeover. He will be scarred for life.

The ferocious animal was shot by a policeman. Its owner will perhaps be sued for damages." If he was not kept to tear children to pieces, it will be interesting to learn at a trial just what the beast was kept for. Able Sermons. Rev. P.

Theodore Pockman, pastor of the First Reformed Church, preached two able sermons yesterday. The one in the morning was nicely woven around the text found in 2d Sam. xxill, 15: "And David longed, and said, 'Oh, that one would give me a drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the His supreme thought was the great sacrifice of the people, and David's greater ascrifice of a thing he so much loved. The subject of his evening sermon Was 4 How to Rest." His text was Mark vi, 31-32: And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into desert place and rest awbile. And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

Mr. Pocksman showed' that a quiet place was a place for resting the mind, looking over the work of the past and preparing for the future. Rev. J. Morgan Read, pastor of the Pitman M.

E. Church, preached a sermon on "The character of Pilate." His text was taken from Matt. xxviil, 24. He said that when Pilate washed his hands he congratu lated himself on the fact that he was freed from. responsibility of the death of Jesus.

But notwithstanding this fact he was 89 responsible as those to whom he released Him. Men to. in publie office would wash their bands of the responsibility of office, but the duty to enforce the laws and rules of such office was still binding upon them. Astrod for an Accounting. Mr.

George Berdine, of the firm of Clark Berdipe, has mado application to the Court to have an accounting and adjustment of the accounts of the concern. The object of this is to see how the firm, after a year's business, stands. It is probable, however, that the business will hereafter be conducted in the name of one of the. members of the firm only.

The pastor of the Sacred Heart Church spoke against intemperance at yesterday morning's services in terms that must have been comprehensible to the dullest mind. The priest's denounciation of those persons who disgrace the Sabbath and disrespect the laws of God by going on beer drinking excursions, was justly vigorous. He regards men who participate -in such unseemly pastime as inferlor to the brute, the latter having but instinct to guide it, while man has a soul which is promised eternal happiness as the price of a well lifer lived. The quadruped obeys the law of nature by eating and drinking a sufficient quantity, while man, created to enjoy the kingdom to come, often violates not only the laws of nature, but of naturo's God. Man proves himself unworthy comparison with the brute when he drowns his intelligence in the intoxicating cup.

Every day brings' its quota of misery througb drink to the Police Courts. The nares of the unfortunate rum wrecked wretches are often withheld for the salte of their families, to whom public exposure should bring a sense of shame as keen as the pangs of death almost. Last night 8 man, covered with blood, and noisome with the fumes of liquor that agitated his futernal and fired his brain, called at the Police Station and asked that his brother-in-law who was in the same condition and with whom he had just had fight, be driven out from under his roof. He stated that his brother-in-law, who was a widower had since the death of his wife, boarded with him. This morning a man was brought before Justice Mitehell for drinking to excess and abusing his wife.

These everyday examples of the effect of intoxicating drinks, and they are legion everywhere in the bosom of the broad earth where strong drink is trafficed in. This is why such as the pastor of the Sacred Heart Church lift their voices against what must be regarded as an impending tional danger. Bitten by a Dog. Saturday afternoon paper-carrier Charley Crossen was bitten on the arm by a dog belonging to one Leppert on Seaman street. The wound was cauterized by Dr.

Lippincott, who thinks the lad will experience no serlous consequences. The boy has been attacked by this same dog on several occasions before, and yet it does pot appear that the slightest precaution was taken to prevent 8 recurrence: Such accidents as these would seem to be sufficient argument in favoring of muzzling the army of worthless but dangerous brutes that exist in our midst. Who is safe from their attacks if It suits their whim toattack Not a slugle pedestran, man, woman or child, is safe while these brutes are allowed the run the town without any restraint upon the exercise of their fangs. Is not the danger apparent to every reasonable being, whether the owner of a dog or not? Common Council passed a resolution that all dogs running at large, unmuzzled, should be captured, put in pound, and, if not ransomed in 24 hours, put to death. The resolution placed the responsibility upon the Mayor, whose duty it was to issue a proclamation in accordance therewith.

He has not done so, assigning as a reason for his refusal, it is said, that no man can be procured who will catch dogs for 25 cents a head. Certainly no woman will volunteer to do the work. Why not -raise the price then? Rydsdyk Wins. The much talked about race between the trotters Lanamore, owned by J. Whitehead, and Billy Rydedyk, owned by J.

Holmes Bergen, took place on the Middlesex Driving Course Saturday afternoon, and resulted in an easy victory for Rydedyk. Mr. Bergen drove his own horse, while Mount Morris held the ribbons over Whitehead's pride. Four tests decided the race. In the last heat Morris was accused of allowing his horse to run, and in one of the heats a collision was narrowly avoided.

The stakes $500 to $300, Mr. Whitehead backing his confidence in Lanamore by. the difference in the amounts. He lost the race and his money, but not his game. Very much money exchanged hands on the result, R.

If. Becker, being one of the large winners. Lanamore won the first and only heat in 2.34½. Rydedyk won the next three heats inthe following time 2.31½, 2.37, 2.35. Mr.

Whitehead was made the subject of much bantering after the race. There was rumor on the streets this morning that he shot Lanamore in the stable after the race. If Prof. Apgar Had instructed the children of the public schools where to get the best shoes for the least money he would be doing a very substantial benefit, not only to the children but to their parents. No doubt the Board of Education would have taken it into consid eration and found this net outweighed, in the balance of justice, all his short comings, and he would still be Superintendant of the Public Schools, but as he did not so instruct them we take the liberty of saying that Harding Mansfield, No 9 Pence street, is the place where the finest and best shoes can be bought for the least money in the State of New Interenting Mecting.

At the Y. M. rooms on Sunday afternoon an interesting Gospel meeting was held, with a good attendance. The subject, which was Courage," was taken up and developed by sereral of the young men. The phenomenal success of Ayer's Sarsa-1 parilla started into existence a host of competitors.

This, of course, was to be expeeted; but the effect has been to demonstrate the superior merits of Dr. Ayer's prepara- tion by a consta thy increasing demand for it. Times. EVENING. JULY 27, THE CROP BULLETIN.

Another Weok of Good Weather -Corn Promises Well -Potatoos Affected by Droughts. The observers and crop correspondents of the New Jersey Weather Service report that during the week ending July 24, the tenperature and sunshine have been about the seasonal average in all portions of the State. The rainfall has bean more evenly distributed than on former weeks, falling on three days, at the beginning, middle and close of week. the extreme northern, southeastern and southern portions the total for the week was slightly above the average, while in the middle portions it was below it. These conditions were, on the whole, fa.

vorable to all crops, especially corn, which is now in a most promising condition. Potatoes districts, notably the portions of the northern and middle counties, have been seriously affected by the drought and the yield will not be near 85 greet as indicated from the growth of the vines earlier in the season. In portions of Middlesex the yield has also been impaired by insect pests. Frufts continue to, mature well and carly orchard varieties are cow in market. Grapes are reported doing nicely, also that the black rot has not increased during the week, In the extreme southwestern portion heavy rains have retarded the harvesting of and were also injuriota to vine truck.

If all the plans are carried out that are said to be under the consideration of the Pennsylvania Railroad for the improvement of property at Robluvale, there is every probability. of that little suburb of Metuchen becoming a place of beauty and importance. Rumor says that they bave purchased or are about to purchase the beautifully located property known as the Redfield place, and that they have had maps drawn up showing most complete net-work of streets and building lots, upon which they intend building cottages. One reason for the foundation of this rumor is given that when Mr. Wright Robins built Robinvale Station the Penusyl-1 vania signed a contract to stop six trains each way a day.

It 13 said to cost $6 to stop a train, and at that rate at the lowest calculation it costs the company $72 per day, not counting the cost of keeping the ticket agent and the money spent fu keeping the building and grounds in repair. Several times the Pennsylvania Railroad Company asked to be relensed, but have failed. They are too honorable to attempt to set it aside by law, and consequently are considering making the above improvements. There is ne better place than the Redfield property for building a small colony of cottages, and, were such a plan put into effect, the result to a large company like the Pennsylvania would be profitable.

A Notable Government Report Upon Fire- The report of the Chief of Ordnance for 1890, though chiefly about heavy ordnance, has several chapters in relation to small callber arms and ammunition. The portion relating to the experimental work on new rifles for the army contains much that is of general interest, as the Nationel Guard of the several States will, of course, be armed with the new rifles when issued. The arm that seems to be the favorite at this time is of 80-100 with one turn in 9-5 inches.

This quick twist is necessary on account of the high velocity contemplated. There will be three equal lands and grooves, the latter to be 0.005 inch deep. On account of the high pressure and consequent sticking of shells in the chamber, it, has not yet been fully decided whether the Springfeld system can be utilized or not. The positive cam of this action makes it absolutely safe, but unless the form and elasticity of case can be made so as to give practically no resistance to extraction of the shell the Spriugfeld action will be ruled out. At the Frankford arsenal they are now making 100,000 cartridges for experimental pritposes, these being loaded with the Wetteran (Belgian) powder.

This is considered one of the best of the smokeless powders as at pres. ent made, and 500 pounds of it will be used in the experimental work. The total weight of the bullet to be used will be 230 grains, this weight being slightly in excess of the projectiles used by European powers in arms of the same caliber. The bullet will be incased in copper, which will not be soldered to the lead of the bullet. The first lot of shells will be bottle necked.

The Copper velocity primers, of the especially ball will made, be will about be 1,800 usod. feet per second. The Ordnance office has recommended that a board be convened to scleet a suitable magazine mechanism, after a full and free competition among all the best existing systems, as soon as the necessary preparations can be made. HOW HORSES SWIRL. Their Buoyancy Varies as Much as That of Human Beings.

A contributor. to the London Field writes that swimming horses across a flooded creek or river a common and on some stations almost daily occurrence in Australia during the rainy season. Ag a rule I have remained seated in the saddle while swimming my horse across a flooded river," he says, and have found the buoyancy of the horse to vary quite as much as that of a human being. I have had some horses which would swim with the seat of the saddle clear above the water, while others, on the contrary, swam so deeply that only the ears, eyes and nose were visible. In the latter case the sooner the rider slips over the tail the better.

If you are not in the saddle I do not think it matters much whether you swim at the horse's head or his tail, or on your back, breast or side. Of course, the nearer you are to big hend the better chance you have of guiding him if necessary, but 89 a rule horses will swim as fast and as straight as they can to the nearest laud-1 ing point. In the whole course of my experience I have seen but one horse unable or unwilling to swim, and on this 02- casion the horse turned on his side immediately it found itself in deep water, and refusing to make the slightest effort it was drowned. In my opinion the most important thing to do when swisuming any horse across a stream is to unbuckle your rein, and, if riding with a double-reined bridie, cut the stitches of the curb ruin. Practically, the only danger there is lies to the risk of the horse getting his forelegs entangled in the bridle, which can easily be avoided.

A Dog Attacks a Child. That dog of Henry Hertzendrocder's, on Seaman street, which broke away from its kennel Saturday afternoon, and tried to deyour child that had been lifted into Hertzeuroeder's yard, had better. never repeat the rash act or there may be no lodger for the kennel and nothing to tie to the end of the chain. Hertzenroeder keeps a grocery store, and people are obliged to enter his store via the yard Sundays. The child had a narrow eacape from death, perhaps, as the brute scized it by the arm and was about to dem-! onstrate when its beaten relish off and capacity for from flesh, by passengers a passing car.
