The Old Bed of the Cohansey.

In digging the cellar for Sharpless'
new building on North Laurel street,
the workmen struck a strata of black
deposit which was probably the re-
mains of a decayed vegetation and
other matter, once the bed of the Co
hansey river, so our oldest inhabitants
say. 1t is stated that the Cohansev at
one time ran u course through the
neighborhood of lower Laurel street.
But, whether this be true or not, there
is no question as to the business site of
the town, from Laurel to the Cohan-
sey, South and North, having been mud
flats, at times covered by the high
tides. The excavations at Mr. Sharp
less place clearly attest this fact.

The New Ward.

For two years past the PIONEER has
urged upon City Council the necessity
of division of the First ward into two
wards. The project was opposed by
the license ma iority of last years Coun-
Gil for fear that the division might af-
feet their interests, but this year there
is more liberal view of the matter bv
all the members of Council, save one.
There is really no question of temper
ance or anti-temperance connected
with it. A division was asked because
the ward had obtained unwieldy pro
portions both as to population and
taxables. By the recent census the
First ward is shown to have nearly
five thousand inhabitants. almost as
many as any other two wards in the
county. 1t also has taxable property
amounting to $1,769,000, and a voting
force of nearly 1900 1t was right and
proper that the ward should be di-
vided. The people were entitled to
more representation. Councils action
meets with universal approval The
division is the best that could have
been made. 1t runs through the ward
nearly straight line North and South,
dividing the property and the voters
in good shape. The new division will
probably be known as the Fourth
ward. 1t will contain about six hun
dred voters, and through it the people
will be given an additional member of
the Board of Freeholders, three men,
bers of City Council, three members of
the Board of Education, another AS
SCISSOR and Constable, also Justice of
the Peace, three Commissioners of
Deeds and other subordinate officers.

How He Carried off Bag of Flour.

Captain John G.. Garrison, of Port
Norris, was a member of the Cum
berland Greys," known as Company
F, Third Regiment, and served with
credit throughout the late war. Dur
ing his term of service many amusing
as we'll as serious things occurred, just
as they always will occur in a soldiers
life. 1t is related of the Captain that
one day when the Regiment was en-
camped near Gaines farm, in Virginia,
a number of the boys concluded that
they would go on little foraging ex-
pedition. Arriving at Gaines Flour
Mill, not farfrom the camp, they found
it in operation manufacturing flour for
the "Johnnies." Corporal Garrison,
as he was then entitled, went up to
the miller and asked him if he wouldn't
sell them hundred weight of good
flour, and they held out to him a
Greenback note in payment. The
miller refused, on the ground that he
had strict instructions not to sell any.
This was a dilemma, but CORPORAL
Garrison solved it by whispering to
his comrades that if they would re-
main at the front of the mill, and keep
the miller's attention in conversation,
he would slip around to the rear of the
building and take a bag of the much
desired meal. The boys did as re-
quested, and the Corporal went back.
seized hundred weight of the best
flour, and disappeared in the direction
of the camp. The rebel miller has
probably never missed the bag, but if
he did he never discovered where it
went. Many was the laugh the boys
had over that flour afterward both
upon the field and in the bivouac.
The Captain insists to this day that he
did not really commit theft at that
time, because he offered the miller the
money and he would not take it, and
as the "Greys" had to have flour it
was really military necessity, and he
had to take it. And twenty years
after the war it is generally agreed
by all who know the circumstance
that the Corporal was right. The
flour was his by the right of conquest,
and the unwritten rules of warfare.

A Difference of Opinion.

There is wide difference of opinion
about town as to whether the Salvation
Army is, or is not a nuisance. The Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union and
the pastors of several churches protest
against the action of Mr.. Briant, and
characterize it as war of rum against
religion. A large number of business
men on Commerce street, and espec-
tally those who have stores underneath
Grosscup's Hall and near it, do not hes
itate to declare that the noises in the
hall, and the crowds upon the side
walk seriously interfere with their bus
mess, and for these reasons they be-
lieve the Army to be a nuisance. These
business men say that they do not de-
sire to drive the Army out of town.
but wish to compel them to take other
quarters removed from the business
portion of the city, or else conduct
their services with more decorum and
less noise. 1t would have been best to
have let the Army alone, as it will
eventually die out if left undisturbed.

Just Like Other Good Laws.

The Camden Courier thinks that the
law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to
minors under sixteen years of age,
which passed the last session of the
Legislature, Senator Nichols having
introduced the bill, has practically
proved to be dead letter. .-Ereninq
Ne'Cs.
The law concerning cigarettes was
not passed at'the last session. 1t be-
came a statute of the State at the ses-
sion of 1888. Like many other laws on
the books it has failed of enforcement.
There is law against profanity, a
law against illicit liquor selling, and
laws against numerous other crimes,
but it is very rare that they are en-
forced. There will be no license in
Bridgeton after next February, but
liquor will be sold just the same, un-
less somebody enforces the law. All
the laws referred to are good ones,
even though they are not observed as
they should be. 1t is the duty of the
people to see that they are enforced.
If they fail to enforce them, then they
should not stand back and growl.

Drowned Near Port Norris.


A very sad drowning case occurred
at Port Norris on Monday morning.
1t was near six o'clock, and Captain
Dayton Campbell and his two sons
were starting on a trip down the river
oystering. Mr.. Campbell was in his
boat at Long Reach, on the Maurice
river, and the two boys were in yawl
Just as the two boats were close to-
gether, the youngest son, Aaron, acci-
IDENTIFY fell off the stern into the water
His brother jumped over after him,
but being unable to swim he accom-
plished nothing, and it was only by the
super-human efforts of his father that
he was saved from drowning The lad
Aaron had by this time drifted some
distance away. The father, who could
not swim, was helpless, and he was
compelled to witness his sons diving
struggles. The lad disappeared be-
netah the water for the last time before
assistance arrived. The deceased was
eleven years old. Oystermen began
the work of graphing for the body at
once, and it was soon recovered.

Death of Geo. w. Pierson.

DCdlll vi 1SO. w. TleTSOO.
Geo. W. Pierson. son of Major Henry

the battles of Fredericksburg and
Charlottesville. In both of these en-

bravery. After his return from the
war he again entered the hardware

had not been permanently employed.
He was a sufferer for long time from
that disagreeable disease rheumatism.

On the bright September morning,
Sunbeams, smiling faces meet;
Laughter flies on breezes fleet
From the cheeks of health's adorning
Happy girls and boys are they,
Joy inviting, sorrow spurning;

Life's not all holiday,
Bread comes not without the earning.

Through the kindness of Mr.. Samuel
James, we breakfasted last Friday on
shad which was caught and frozen by
Mr.. Ovid Davis, at Bay Side, last May.
The only difference we could discover
between it and one just caught was
that the meat had lost the juicy taste
peculiar to shad, otherwise it tasted
quite natural.

The Late Fair.

The Late Fair.
The 32d Annual Exhibition of the
Cumberland County Agricultural So
ciety has come and gone. 1t was not
as largely attended as the Fair of last
year. the receipts falling off from $2,-
294,61 in 1884, to $2,043.61 this year, a
difference of $241. This deficiency is
owing in a large degree to the hard
times, people being cramped for money.
1t is also believed that a number of
bogus tickets were sold for which, of
course, the society received no returns.
If such be the case it cannot therefore
be charged that the Bridgeton printers
are at fault this time, because the tick
cts were printed in Cincinnati, far be-
yond the reach of the rascally boys
who are said to run the presses of
printing establishments in this city.
The display of Fruit at the Fair
was superior to any ever made by the
Society heretofore. Stock was not up
to previous years, although there were
a number of fine horses, cattle and
sheep on exhibition. The Floral dis
play was unusually fine, Messrs. Stein
Edwards q Sons, j. Lewden Robson,
Percival Nichols and Capt. Samuel
Perry having deposited several very
fine specimens of their art. The ''Tele-
phone" by the Messrs. Edwards, and
the 'Old Arm Chair" by Mr.. Robeson,
were very beautiful.
The running and trotting races at
tracted great attention. There was
great excitement and much dispute
among horsemen over the decisions of
the judges. Jackson Briant, of the
Davis House, was awarded first pre-
MUM for the fastest double team in
