Items for <,lassbIowers.

The Woodbury. window-glass fac
tories are in blast.
Factories Nos. 2 and 10 went into
blast, at South Millville, last week.
Two of Whitall, Tatum & Co.'S green

The Cumberland Glass Company, of
this city, have put fires under some of
their furnaces.
Slow drying fires have already been
kindied in the furnaces of the Vine
land Glass works. The blowing will
probably begin and the factories be in
full running order next Saturday.
1t is rumored that the works of the
Malaga Window-glass Co., in Millville,
have been leased to Kneass, Samuels
" Co., of Philadelphia. Nothing diff
mite concerning the change can be
obtained as yet. John Reeves, who
has been bookkeeper at the works in
this city, has secured a position in the
Philadelphia office.

FOURTH VI. f.. CHURCH.
The Contract Given Out. and the
Work TO be Pushed Forward.

Tuesday night the Trustees OF the
Fourth Nj. E. Church met and decided
to so forward at once with the build
ing, according to the plans of Harvey
n. Smith, architect. The contract
was awarded TO Joseph Steelman.
The building is to be built of brick
andis very pretty indeed. 1t has a front
OF IS feet on South Avenue, and runs
back go feet 6 inches, with wing on
the southwest end, 32x13 feet. On the
southeast corner there will be an or
nameutal tower. The main audience
room is for church purposes and the
larger Sunday School, while the wing
will be used for the infant department
and for class rooms. There are three
entrances, two on the front and one
on the south side, the latter being by
neat porch. The whole plan is very
attractive, and when completed, the
building will be an ornament to the
city. We expect soon to give picture
of it.

A WORD ON OYSTERS.
How They Are Handled i'm PHIL
ssdefTiIfiag 9dJ b3bJstaq >,

The oysters for the Philadelphia
market come principally from the
Maurice River Cove and the Western
Shore Plant, and they take their names
from those localities. More Maurice
River coves are brought than any.
other sort. and they constitute the
staple oyster for the city. The coves
are Jersey and the others are Della
ware oysters.
A number of special kinds from more
selected. localities are also sent there.
and later on in the Fall and Winter,
the Virginia and Southern coasts fur
nlsh the market with a delicious
oyster. The New York and down
East salt oysters are coming in all the
time.
The method of work in the Delaware
Bay is very simple. TIE oysters are
dredged, and after the boat is filed
they are taken into fresh water ana
thrown out in floats. They are kept
in the fresh water about twenty-four
hours. This washes, cleans and fat
tens them. They are then brought up
the river where they are landed at the
wharf and counted out into baskets.
These baskets are then sent by the
dealers everywhere, and appear on the
tables of the richest and poorest citi.
zens supplied by the high-priced pur-
veyor or the back street huckster or
from the small shelf of the oyster de-
pot at the corner of the street. All
the well-known restaurants that make
a speciality of preparing the oyster in
as many different ways as there are
lives to cat, are getting ready for the
coming season. The wholesale places
along Delaware Avenue are being re-
tioored and cleared ready for the car
goes of their boats now down the bay.
Oysters on the boats being all the way
from 50 to $S a thousand, but the re-
tail price is considerably above that.
Our first lots will be only jags of
cargoes, said a dealer the other day,
i ''bnt they will begin to come in strong
in week or two. The season prom
ises to be boomer. | know several
dealers whose early oysters run up as
high as 10000 oysters opened. The
Philadelphia season opens one month
earlier than the Baltimore season.
and three weeks later than the New
! York season

The Saloons Closed.

ATLANTIC City, Sept. 9th. For the
hrst time for many years the saloon
doors here were barred to the public
to-day. Of course there were excep-
tions here and there, where a side or
rear door would yield to the pressure
OF the initiated, but generally the
doors were closed, and no amount of
persuasion could induce the hotel men
to give or sell liquor to the many
thirsty residents and visitors at the
shore. The temperance people were
on the alert and had emissaries on all
sides to note the names of the violators
of the new law. The closing is the
one theme of conversation tonight,
and new phases in the development of
the Sunday innovation at the seashore
are eagerly awaited.

Injured.

A little fellow by the name of Mar
shall and his companion, named Her.
bert, were playing cowboy down on
South Pearl street Saturday. At one
time Marshall threw his lasso around
Herbert'sneck, and then gave the rope
severe jerk throwing the little victim
to the ground, the rope tightening
about his neck. in such manner that
the little fellow was badly choked. A
passer by seeing the victim getting red
in the face hurried out in the street
and cut the rope from the lads neck, at
the same time the boy fainting. This
lassoing is dangerous sport, and it
would be much safer if the boys would
throw their noosed ropes about a post
or other objects, as it would prove far
less dangerous, and serious accident
may result.

Don't Like 1T.

Van, of the Courier, did not like the
reference to the action of Judge Garri-
son in granting license to hotels, one
day before the Local Option election.
Van is Democrat, and so is Judge
Garrison, and neither favor the Local
Option law, and of course the editor OF
the Courier would defend his own
opinions. But we still think, and all
other fair-minded men think, that
when Judge Garrison granted licenses
to rum holes for year one day before
the election, and that too, in the face
OF protests and petitions asking him to
delay the matter day or two, that he

The total majorities for no license 959

ity for no license of 712.
In some of the townships nearly the
full vote of a general election was
polled, and the average throughout
the county was not less than 80 per
cent. of the full vote. The most per-
feet organization of the liquor interests
was in Woodbury. and Deptford and
West Deptford. the adjoining town
ships A large amount of money is
said to have been expended.
The result in these places, while not
meeting, the expectations of the liquor
men, was, it is said, surprise to the
temperance element, who had expected
to win by at least 100 majority. Prayer
meetings were held by the Women's
Christian Temperance Union in a
number of places, and at Williams
town and Glassboro, sandwiches were
served to voters.

The election was one of the most ex-
citing contests ever held in the county,
and considerable money, it is stated,
was used at the polls.
Owing to a majority of Common
Pleas Judges being opposed to grant
ing licenses, none have been granted
for five years, excepting at Cape May
City and the boroughs, where the
licensing power is vested in the Dor
ough or city councils.
Judge Diverty, it was stated, yester-
day, said that he would not sign bis
name to a liquor license under any
circumstances, no matter how the
