The boy’s father and mother ire also frequent visitors there. As told last week, the boy is a de fective or degenerate. When told that his victim was dead, he didn’ t move a muscle of hisface.nor did he in anyway show the slightest concern. That he was charged with committing an atro cious crime and that he stood in danger therefrom did not apper to make any impression upon him whatever. Indeed with no concern he admitted that he fired the fatal shot in a fit of rage at something the Tilton boy had said or done to him. Andrew J. Tilton was buried on Fri day afternoon last at Silverton. Ser vices were held in the M. E. church, and burial was in the churchyard. Rev. Harry P. Grim, pastor of the church, conducted the fnneral.

This verdict it not surprising, aa Ocean county grand tor ts* have called tha attention of tha court to it* hod condition and lank of sanitary arrangements bifora now, going ra (orna to find presentatami 6oait.

The investigations of tha body have at tracted considerable attention the past summer, being second only to the Ex< ciee Commission, with which body its investigation« have often overlapped Among the criticisms offered on the jail is that it is unsafe and as is well known, prisoners who don't want to stay must be watched every moment or they will get out: that tha prisoner» in the men's room are all together, and the vermin infested tramps make it im possib|e to keep the jail clean; that the cells cannot be locked and there is no Midshipman B lrdttll Entertained Friande at the Army-Navy Gama Midshipman John Birdsall of Waretown entertained a number of friends at the Army-Navy football game on Saturday lnet at PrsakUn Field, Phila delphia. To ba sure tha game went against the Navy and the West Point cadet« went horns joyous with a score of 6-4; yet the party from the Jersey shore had a moat enjoyable day. In the first place the weather was perfect; the crowd was the largest that ever watched a football game. 31,000 people it was said; there was a big-gathering of notables from all over the country; and taken as a "show" itself,the¿ro*d of lookers-on,the middies.cadets, bands, songs and cries, were enough to make it well worth while Mrs. Melinda wife of Charles Claytont Jr., died on Sunday at their home in Pleaeant Plains, aged about 49 years, from pheumonia.

Poultjy Fanciers Complain that Dogs K ill Poultry at Night night some boys from Whitesville came to Lakewood, got jagged with poor rum, and thought they owned the whole town. In this they encountered rivalry on the part of some Lakewood toughs with whom they had been drinking, and the result is that several paid fines and two went to the county jail. Chief of Police Norcross and his men round ed up the bunch early Sunday morning. Monday, Squire Adams ladled out the medicine as follows: Beech Tompkins, Whitesville, 60days in county jail; Wm. H Layton, Lakewood, 20 days in county jail; Percy Holman, Whitesville, $10 and costs; Mike Diveran and Mike Walsh, Lakewood. each $4 and costs; Joe Aker, Lakewood, discharged. Lakewood people aie hot under the collar at the sensational story published in Monday’s New York World to the effect that there had been a pitched battle on the streets between thirty men armed with revolvers. They say the only shots fired were two by Chief Norcross to stop an escaping prisoner; and they were fired in the air. W. Howard Brooks complains that on Thursday night of last week two dogs (be judges from their tracks, a bull dog and a setter) got into his duck pen and killed a half dozen choice ducks. He says that his poultry has been raided before in the same way with great loss to him, and that his rabbit warren suffered the same fate. Montraville Irons says that dogs got into his poultry and killed about forty head of duck one night recently. Irons' place is on Dayton avenue,while Brooks’ is located on the river front at Dock and Water streets. It is said that if there were witnesses who could swear they had seen- dogs do the killing, the township would have to stand the loss and pay the money out of the dog tax. A band of gypsies who planned to But in these cases no one, so far as is spend the winter at Tuckerton, were known saw the dogs do the killing.

Nov. 27— One of the objects discussed by the State Commis sion for the Conservation of Natural Resources this week, was the possibility of extending the propagation of oysters in New Jersey. According to surveys made at the instance of Charles B. Bacon, chief of the Bureau of Shell Fisheries, there are 375,000 acres avail able for shell fish farming along the New Jersey coast, hut only about 75,000 acres are utilized. I t is the idea of the conservation commissioners that one of the richest natural resources of the State lays in the utilization of the ocean front for shell fish propagation Of tho 75,000 acres now devoted to oyster beds, one half is unused for breeding purposes The commission believes it would be of great advantage to the State if the Legislature would make an appropriation for an exten sion of the breeding beds. Such a re commendation will probably be made to Governor Fort in the hope that he will incorporate it in his annual message to the Legislature booths, but all bills containing items were returnedifor correction t b it . tim e as the Director ruled that tba" municipality should pay them.
