A New Road Law.

A new law passed by the Legislature
will interest drivers OF vehicles and
bicycle riders. In the revision, section
81, is the following statute; providing:
That drivers of carriages, sleighs or
sleds whether OF burden or pleasure,
using any of the turnpikes or public
roads in the State. when met by
another carriage, sleigh or sled shall
keep to the right, and when overtaken
by carriage, sleigh or sled, they shall
likewise keep to the right, so as in
both cases to permit such carriage,
sleigh or sled, either met or overtaken,
to pass free and uninterrupted, and if
any person shall offend against this
provision such person shall forfeit and
pay the sum of 80 to any person who
shall be obstructed or hindered in his
or her passage and will sue for the
same, and shall be subject to An action
for every such offense, TO be recovered
from costs of suit"
The recent enactment is in relation
to the use OF bicycles and tricycles, and
all vehicles propelled by pedo motive
or manumotive power, are thereby
declared carriages within the meaning
of the above statute, and the riders
are entitled to the same rights and
privileges, and subject TO the same
restrictions as drives of carriages,
sleighs and sleds.

ON THE TUG.
A Very Pleasant Time Down
the Bay.

Freeholder Jos. T. White is a popular
man with at least the fifty-nine persons
who went down the Bay on the tug
Laura B." Friday, and well he may
be, for it was through his efforts that
they were permitted to enjoy one of
the most pleasant days of their lives.
Mr.. White had made arrangements to
take the party on the tug first to Lewes,
and then on to Rehobath Beach.
When the gang plank was pulled in
at twenty minutes after six O'Clock
Friday morning there were fifty-nine
excursionists on the tug and they were
merry crowd. The sailing down the
river was most enjoyable and the first
stop was made at the Cohansey Light
House, when the wife of the keeper
was taken on board, and given under
the especial care of Capt. Demaris,
but the boat had hardly gotten under
way again, before it was noticed that
the attentions of the lady were monop-
olized by certain editor of this city,
who is said to much resemble the i'm
mortal Lincoln.
The trip to Lewes was made in good
time, and twentyfour of the excursion
lists stopped there to enjoy the day,
while the remaining thirtY-five contin
ued On to Rehobath Beach. At Lewes
the town was visited and the beach
patrolled, and splendid meal enjoyed.
One of the BRIGHT men of the party is
said to have eaten four pies and con-
siderable pudding In fact. SO much
that the rest OF the party got no de-
sert. At Rehobath Beach, the thirty
five that continued on were not sorry.
The Beach is one of the most pleasant
anywhere and the bathing is delightful.
The hotel accommodations were grand,
and the entire number speak in the
highest terms of the day they enjoyed
there. One man who expected to be
the most Lirely, however, was perhaps
the most C0n1nl. The trouble was SIM
ply this: He took with him a white
collar and necktie, white gloves and a
high hat, which he expected his body
servant to wear, but unfortunately
said servant did not turn up. One SER
ious question is being asked by one
member of the party. 1t is, "Wlll
Moore napkins be furnished me. if I
ever so to Rehobath Beach, Why
this is causing him so much trouble is
that thoughtlessly he put his napkin
in his pocket, thinking it was his hand
kerchief, and brought it home with
him. The return trip was made in good
time, arriving in Bridgeton, after FIVE
hours ride at half-past eight o'clock
The trip was delightful. Everyone
speaks in the highest terms of the
manner in which they were provided
for, and the majority wish to repeat
the trip.

A Little Sensation.

Word was received in this city Mon
day. afternoon, that workmen, dig
ging stone neaf the ice house at Ire
lands Mill, had unearthed the body of
petrified indian. A PIONEER repor-
ter Immediately drove out to the place
and found Amos Penn and a fellow
laborer, at work in a large pit Upon
the ground was huge piece of stone
which the workmen claimed was the
head of the long-passed away warrior.
In the pit was what they termed the
body. This had slight resemblance
TO human form, but the head was of
lnonstrons size, and appeared more
like the Uranium of COW, the legs and
feet have not yet been unearthed but
the workmen claimed that they could
trace them in the sand Those at
work in trying to raise the body? badly
broke it, but they claimed that when
it was at first found it looked very
naturally, and others that were pas
sing coincided with these views But
those who saw the whole affair af-
ter it had been broken could not pos
sibly reconcile themselves to the fact
that it was what was claimed. A large
nun ber of persons visited the spot du-
ring the early evening.

Vomited a Lizard.

James Williams, popular young
man OF Gloucester City. who has been
sick for the past six years. is on a fair
way to recovery, a New York physician
having by means of drugs brought a
lizard from his stomach. Williams
never knew what allied him, although
under the treatment OF the best doctors
OF Gloucester and Philadelphia. Some
OF them told him he had the consump-
tion and that his case was hopeless.
This made him very Respondent at
times. Some time since a friend adj
vised him to consult DR.. Slocum of
New York, as ne was curing his wife
after other doctors had given her up.
Williams, anxious to prolong his life,
snatched at this straw and wrote to
the physician, telling him just how he
felt This was ten days ago. DR. Slo-
cum sent him bottle of medicine,
guaranteeing a cure.
Mr.. Williams commenced taking the
medicine which ne says was very
strong and had to be taken in whiske3..
After taking it he would have a ter
rble vomiting spell. Friday morning
he took another dose OF the medicine
which made him sick as usual. He at
once went out in the yard and com
menced vomiting what he said looked
like green moss. In very few min
utes afterwards he had another at
tack of vomiting He said that there
was something came up in his throat
which nearly took his breath and he
was compelled to pull it out with his
fingers. To his surprise he found it q
dead izerd seven inches long. Mr
Williams has sent it to Philadelphia to
have it put in condition so as to keep
it and show it to his doctor. Since he
has delivered it he says he can feel
himself gaining in strength and the
cough which he was kept awake with
during the night has left him.

On Saturday afternoon Deputy In
spector Vandergrift, of Burlington, be-
gan the work of securing samples OF
different drugs on sale in the stores OF
that city. They will be forwarded to
the State Analytical Chemist, Shippen
Wallace, who will report on their pur-
ity as soon as an analysis can be made
This is in accordance with the an
nouncement made by State Commits
sioner Newton, that the law against
all dealers, dispensing impure or adult
Grated drugs in the State would be en-
forced. The local druggists are consid-
erably worked up over the movement,
and will insist upon indemnification at
the hands of the wholesale dealers sell
ing them the drugs.

Stolen Goods Recovered.

A big haul was made on Burlington
Island, on Thursday night, by Con-
stables Burr, Gilbert and Adams, who
found a lot of spoons, forks, and all
sorts of silverware, mems and women's S
clothing, shoes, underwear, sheetings
and table linen, that were slowed
away in a barn under pile of hay.
The discovery was made at late
hour on Thursday night. The three
officers procured boat and rowed to
the head of the island, where they dis
embarked, and proceeded through the
underbrush to the house and aroused
the inmates. On going up stairs they
found Lorenzo Atkinson in bed. On
being shown warrant for his arrest,
he got up and promised to accompany
the officers quietly. One was left to
guard him while a search was made of
the premises, which resulted in the
discovery of the articles noted. These
were gathered together and removed
to the boat, and the prisoner was con-
veyed to the Mount Holly Prison. He
admitted that he had been concerned
in the robberies, but no amount of
questioning could induce him to tell
who were concerned with him. All he
would say was that he was guilty.
Shortly after his arrest Constable
Gilbert proceeded to Masonville, and
thence to Centreton, where he visited
an old cabin along the Rancocas creek,
which Atkinson had been occupying
at times The building was fastened,
but an entrance was effected; and a
thorough search revealed the presence
of considerable quantity of dry
goods, clothing, plated ware, &c, all
of which had evidently been stolen
and stored there until opportunity
was offered to dispose OF the goods.
Atkinson is also supposed to be con-
cerned in number Of robberies at
Beverly and Bordentown.- An effort
has also been made to implicate him
in the stealing of Farmer Satterth-
waits $4,000 horse at Crosswicks, few
months ago. The horse, or one close
ly resembling it, was seen near Cen
treton Immediately after the robbery,
and was afterward sent away The
arrest of Atkinson is considered very
important one by the Burlington
county authorities.

RELICS OF 1910.
Valuable Articles Owned by
Robt. Dubois.

Our townsman, Mr.. Robert Dubois,
exhibited to us handsome brooch, or
lady breastpin, relic of the Tippe-
canoe campaign of 1910 It is of ma.
terial initiating gold, having a chased
border. On the face, which is covered
with glass, is prettily designed
log cabin, tree at the side, and a
barrel of hard cider beneath it. These
figures are in white enamel on dark
ground; above is the word ''Harrison,n
and below the word Reform" It was
presented to his sister. who is vet liv-
ing, and worn by her on October 1st,
1870, when the great Wing meeting
was held on the late David P. Null
fords grounds. in the oak timber then
growing near Star Grove along the
Cohansey. That most famous New
Jersey orator and Statesman, Hon.
Samuel L. Southard, spoke on this
memorable OCCASION Commodore
Robert F. Stockton and others also
addressed the vast assemblage. A
pretty feature of the day was load of
girls, each carrying flag representing
one of the States of the Union. A
number of these girls, now in advanced
womanhood. yet survive among US.
Mr.. Dubois also has q campaign
medal. which he wore himself as a
member of the old Wing Clup. of Mill
town. This was made mp OF boys of
various ages. Their log cabin was
under the twin holly tree, yet stand
ing, south of the wooden mill. This
medal has upon it bust and excellent
likeness of the old hero, Gen. Harrison,
in military garb, and the words Born
Feb. 8, 1773" On the reverse is a
design ef log cabin, with trees, and
the usual barrel of cider, and around
and beneath, the words, The Peoples
Choice-in the Year 1910. 1t is also
we'll preserved
We understand that many memen-
toes of that wonderful rising OF the
people are daily being brought forth
medals, small banners. flags, news
papers, etc. BY the way, the original
miniature, log cabin, which the Mill
town club used in the parades of the
time, can be seen at any time in the
yard of Mr.. Dubois, mounted upon a
pole, and now answering for bird
box. 1t is precious in its associations

Death Of T. T. Cortis.

Death OF It. I. Cortls.
The death of Mr.. Thomas T. Cortis
occurred Tuesday, July 18th, at about
Up. M, after an illness extending over
a period of several years, when paraly-
sis-the cause of death-first made it's
presence known. Mr.. Cortis has
been in public life the greater part
of his life He was born in the little
town of Thompson, Connecticut, on
April 20, 1917. His early life was first
as clerk and then manager of a lumber
yard, until he came to Vineland in '65,
after which ne directed his attention
to farming for short period. Soon
after becoming a resident, he was ap-
pointed deputy sheriff of the County,
which position he occupied for twelve
years. Seven years of his life was also
spent as Constable of Landis township
and during that time he earned the
oft repeated saying that IT. It. always
got his man." no matter what precau-
ton the thief took to cover up his
tracks. Mr.. Cortis was also overseer
of the poor in this County six years
and school trustee two years. In 1875
he was the Republican candidate for
Sheriff, but was defeated by Judge
Hampton. For the last six or eight
years Mr.. Cortis has led a retired life,
living with his wife on Lands avenue,
below West. One daughter, Mrs.
james Chance, and his wife survive

A Great Invention.

The London Times gives the follow.
ing description of machine of Eng
lish invention that may revolutionize
the trade of bottle blowing
An important practical innovation
in the glass bottle making trade has
been perfected. This is Ashley's in
genious apparatus for mechanically
moulding and blowing glass bottles.
The moulding is done mechanically,
and the blowing by means of COM
pressed air, thus relieving the glass
blower OF his unhealthy and life-short
ening occupation. Each pair of ma
chimes is fed with molten glass by one
youth, known as a ''gatherer," and
each machine is worked by boy who
moulds and blows the bottle and places
it on stand, whence it is removed by
another boy, called the ''taker in," to
the annealing furnace. Each pair of
machines is thus served by four hands,
three Of whom are boys. Upon the
occasion of our visit, one pair of ma
chimes was running upon soda water
bottles, and the other pair upon pint
beer bottles, which were turned out at
an average rate of 1870 per hour per
machine, very perfect bottles being
produced
The repeating machine consists of a
circular turntable revolved by machin-
cry around a central pillar The
whole apparatus is fleet in diameter by
feet high over all, and at four points
around its circumference are placed at
equal distances, four moulding ma
chimes. Each of these is similar in
principle to the single machine, al
though, OF course, slightly different in
detail construction. AS the apparatus
revolves, each machine in turn passes
before the ''gatherer," who charges
it with molten glass. The charged
mould then passes on quarter of a
circle to the next point, where the
mould is automatically turned upside
down and the interior of the neck of
the bottle is formed, the process of
blowing being at the same time auto
matically commenced. Passing another
quarter of a circle, the mould reaches
point where it is closed, the air pres.
sure put on, and the bottle completed.
The third quarter OF a circle brings
the perfectly finished bottle to a point
at which it is automatically discharged
on to carrier, by which it is conveyed
to the annealing oven, in which it is
placed by boy. The cycle of opera
tions will thus be seen to be as follows:
While the first bottle is being automa-
tica!ly discharged a second bottle is
being finished, and third one is being
reversed and having its neck punched,
while q fourth is being cast-that is,
the molten metal is being filled into
the mould. With regard to the saving,
the actual output of Messer's Sykes's
works before the introduction of the ma
chinery was 2S0gross of bottles per day
OF ten hours. the actual capacity of the
works now being 420 gross per day.
There is a very large saving in the
cost of labor.

Sugar is going steadily. up, because
the people put it down SO freely, or be-
cause the trusts put it up, it is hard to
say which. The one thing certain is
that sugar always does go up at this
time of year-preserving. time. To
Americans sugar has become neces-
sary of life. The doctors have give
up their old-time notion about the
injuriousness of sweets, and now sugar
coat everything they can.
