Concerning Linens.
We think it wise to tell some
thing special about Linens.
Three main facts about them
we want widely known:
First-We probably sell more
housekeeping Linens than any
other house in America. We
gather them by personal search
all over Europe. We buy at
the least prices and bring the
goods from points Of production
with every possible economy.
A small commission is our only
net profit, and the retail trade
gets the full benefit of all our
facilities.
Second-Some prices quoted
here are speculative, some reg
ular;; but matching of goods
with prices in the whole retail
market will bring the decision
in our favor
1hird-With lis Linen is
Linen. Jute or cotton we do
not sell for Linen.

Action in Tort.

Justice d. E. Woodruff's Court was
the scene OF an interesting and highly
amusing suit Wednesday afternoon,
which was an action in tor, brought
by David A. Dason, against Sam Kot-
tieaskey, Russian Jew J. L. Van
Syckle represented the plaintiff and
the defence was conducted by F. NJ.
Porch. The following gentlemen acted
as jurors: Joseph T. White, Lewis
Bowen, Joseph Shimp, Jesse Sheldon,
Augustes Cook and Jacob Herrcher.
The plaintiff claimed $25 damages
from the fact that the defendant had,
by exceedingly careless driving, collid-
ed with his horse on South Pearl street
on the 18th Of July last, and beside in
Juring the animal, had done consider
able damage to his horse, laming it.
etc. Testimony was offered for the
plaintiff by D. A. Dasson, F. M. Riley,
d. w. Miller, E. M. Atkinson. The
defence offered testimony through an
interpreter by Wolf Kottiaeskey and
Samuel Kottiaeskey and VIM. r..
Thompson. The case was given to the
jury at four o'clock, and after remain
ing out until nine o'clock at night,
the jury was discharged, being unable
TO agree. When discharged, the jury
TODD four to two for the plaintiff.

REPAIRS AND WORK At THE
GLASS HOUSES.
Not Decided When to Start Ruf
Getting Ready for Active
-a Operations.

The question as to when the glass
factories will resume operations is not
yet fixed. They may start as usual,
and they may not resume until late in
the fall, or rather until winter sets in.
In fact from present appearances it
would seem that lockout of some
time is unavoidable as the difference
cannot be adjusted amicably at prc.
sent.
1t is probable that no work viii
begin in the .window-glass factories in
the Eastern Division of the United
States for many weeks. The question
OF wages has been settled satisfactoral-
~, but it is said the manufacturers
want the blowers to enter into an
agreement with them to refuse to work
for all firms who are not members ,,
the Manufacturers Association and tJ
work for all firms who sell below the
list adopted by the said Association.
The Executive Committee of the
Eastern Division of the glassworkers
held conference with the manufa )
turers recently and refused to agree 10
the above propositions, The mani
facturers threatened to refuse to sign
the scale for the next seasons blalt,
and there the matter rests at present.
But not Notwithstanding that now these
differences seem to be unable to be
settled, still an arrangement may be
made at any time satisfactory to all
concerned, and the works start. In
this city all of the companies are :lut-
ting their factories in proper shape
and rebuilding their furnaces. A 5oIo-
NEER reporter sauntered into the
works of the cumberland Glass Manu-
acturing Company and found the in
terror of all the houses in a scene of
confusion. The furnaces were all
down, and busy masons were hard at
work getting them in shape for re-
building. Pots, just from the shop,
were being carted into the factories
ready to be set in the new furnaces as
soon as finished. New buildings are
being erected upon the property, one
of them for the manufacture of stop
pers and the saving of box boards.
Other improvements are also being
made by this .enterprising firm.
Just those things that are being car
ried on at the Cumberland Glass
Works, are being enacted at all other
factories, and by the usual time of
starting, all will be in readiness,
whether the works start or not. The
hollow ware factories will most likely
start somewhere about the first of Sep
tember, the workmen and manufact-
urers having no differences whatever.

Benz. Keen Dies Last Evening at
8.4-e / His Home ~ ls. .ysg5
In the death of Benjamin Keen,
which occurred Friday, Bridgeton
loses figure which has been familiar
for very many years. Mr.. Keen was
born in this city "A years ago, and all
his life since he was five years old he
has lived in the house on Fayette St.,
in which he died. In early life he
learned the trade of al tanner and
purcha sed the tannery now owned by
Jacob Kienzle ID partnership with
Charles Clunn Later il was sold to
Jacob Kienzle.
Mr.. Keen was much respected man,
and has been prominent in politics,
being a life long Democrat. He has
many times been a candidate for office,
but from the fact that his party has
been in the minority has usually led to
his defeat. Of late years Mr.. Keen
has been living retired life, the only
business he having anything to do
with was the Bridgeton Gas Works, in
which he was small .stockholder,
and at the time of his death being
President of the Company having
succeeded Mr.. Robert G. Nichols, de-
ceased. s EE e &
Mr.. Keen bears an excellent name
throughout this locality, and many
will be sorry to learn of his death,
which occurred after an illness of
nearly two months The deceased was
never married, and his nearest relative
was a brother John, of Greenwich
The funeral took place from his
late residence on Tuesday morning
next. Interment at Broad street

That Bridge.

Work has not yet been commenced
upon the proposed repairs to the Port
Elizabeth Bridge by the committee APP
pointed by the Board OF Freeholders.
1t seems that the committee is not
much nearer a settlement as to how
the work should be done than they
We're before the last meeting of the
Board held at Port Elizabeth. A prom
nent resident of that place said to a
PIONEER reporter Thursday that it
was only question as to how long the
bridge would stand In his opinion
the bridge would be carried away in
six months. He did not think it posi-
BILE for the committee to so secure the
bridge as to make it permanent. He
had noticed lately that the foundations
were very much weakened, and that
stones were falling from the abutments,
and he did not believe that it was pos
sible to repair the structure upon a
falling foundation a new bridge
would soon have to be erected, he de-
clared, and when it was built it should
go on the north end of the dam, as il
could be built better and cheaper there
than at its present location.

THE NEW Nj. II. CHURCH ON
SOUTH AVE.
Impressive Ceremonies while
Laying the Corner stone of
the New Edifice.

1t was just the day hoped for by
those having in charge the building of
the new M. P. Church, on South Ave-
nue., for the laying of the corner stone,
and great gathering was present at
three p. IN. on the 18th of August, to
witness the ceremonies, and hear what
was to be said by those who were to
speak.
The foundations of the new church
had been finished, and all was ready
for the corner stone. Under the shade
of the trees seats had been arranged
for those present, and they were filled
The choir of the Laurel Hill M. P.
| Church was present, and rendered
music for the occasion. Rev. L. d.
Stultz, of Glassboro, had charge of the
services.
The principal address was made by
Rev. I. B. Appelgate, of Hightstown,
N. j., he preaching from the following
text, taken from Isaiah: go through,
go through the gates; prepare ye the
way of the people; cast up, cast up the
highway; gather out the stones, lift up
standard for the people,"
The remarks of the reverend gentle
man, founded upon this appropriate
Scripture We're forcible, and listened
to with great interest. He was fol
lowed by Rev. J. NJ. Mcdowell, a
former resident of this city, Revs w.
H. Coxson, J. X. Freed, Joseph
Hopkins and L. D. Stultz. in a few re-
marks.
Then followed the usual deposits
within the stone which shall lay for
generations, perhaps, unmolested and
the ceremony customary for such oc-
casions. Services followed in the
evening at the Laurel Hill M. P.
Church, and a sermon of great merit
was preached by Rev. Joseph Hop
kins. of Pitman Grove.

The New Jersey watermelon and can
teloupe crop will be the poorest this
season for many years. Not ouly will
they not be plentiful, but they will be
OF poor quality. The cool, wet Spring
and dry, cool Summer have done this.
Other truck, such as tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, white potatoes, apples, corn
and the other products will be fairly
plentiful. Tomatoes are already CLINT
on the market, whereas only few
weeks ago they brought 25 cents a
quart. Now, they bring 30 cents bas-
ket for the best and run down the
scale to 10 cents, sometimes cents per
basket. Watermelons are firm at $13
to $16 per 100. Canteloupes are rather
poor and bring 40 to 80 cents for the
best, 25 cents for poorer quality.
Sweet potatoes bring $3.50 per basket

Philadelphia Peach Market.

The Philadelphia Press says: Peach
es are rolling into town now by hun
dreds of thousands every day. If Po-
mona were to transform all the drops of
water in Niagara into peaches and turn
the stream down hill into Philadelphia
she wouldn't make volume much
greater than that which is now run
ming into the .city from the nearby
store houses of nature. They come in
to town by wagon and boat and rail-
road car. The greater bulk arrives by
way of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
Delaware and Maryland branches,
which, winding in and out among the
peach growing districts of Delaware
and Maryland, brings the delicious
fruit here in tens of thousands of bas-
kets every day. Thirty-one carloads
arrived Friday night. The number;of
baskets was about $4,000, and of single
peaches there were about 2S0,O0O, one
for every fourth man, woman and
child in Philadelphia. The retail
money value was between $4,000 and
$4,000. The invoice was good one for
this time of year, for peaches are more
abundant than for years; but the daily
invoice will be twice and three times
as large in aboht two weeks, when the
height of the peach season is here.
Even now the shipments grow larger
every day, and peaches enroach more
and more on the car space given up to
other fruits. In week or so the de-
mand is expected to be so great that
the railroad company will find that it
will pay to put on its exclusively peach
trains

The clerk of the signal service has
been inte rested as to the weather.
'There is cool wave in process of
manufacture in Montana, the weather
sharp replied, but it may be diverted.
1t would take about five days for it to
get here, anyhow, if it came straight.
The probability is that there will be a
continuance of the present sort of
weather for some days to come, mixed
with rain and cloudiness. A cloud and
rain area is very general in the North
