Startling Figures.

We were astunis,,e when we learned
few days since, the immense busi.
ness that is bel" :; Zone by the bottling
establishments, vi which there is one
upon nearly every road that runs out
of Bridgeton. The figures are reliable,
and more, undisputable. Let US see
what they are. A certain railroad
company, twice a week carts from one
OF these establishments the empty beer
barrels, the half, not keg size, and
twice week they make special trips
for the loading of this freight. One of
the train hands says that the average
number of empty half barrels taken
from this one establishment per week
is eighty. These half barrels contain
not less than 25 gallons OF beer, when
filled, and this makes total of 5000
gallons sold in enc week. Reduce this
quantity to glasses allowing sixteen
glasses to the gallon and we find that
there are $4,000 drinks sold in single
week. For one year this will show
that there is dispensed from this one
establishment l,600,0 600 glasses of beer
What a total. And there are four
other establishments of this kind do
ing business just beyond the city
limits.

Rev. Thomas Sovereign, one OF the
veteran preachers of the New Jersey
M. E. Conference, died June 21st, at
his home in Wenonah, at the advanced
age of eighty eight. The deceased was
stricken with paralysis several years
ago, since which time he has not been
able to leave the house. Mr.. Sover-
eign's career in the ministry has been
lengthy and beneficent, covering over
half a century, which period, with the
exception of a short time, has been
spent in active pastoral work. The
deceased clergyman was well and fav-
orably known throughout New Jersey,
having filed all the prominent appoint
ments in the State besides having
served several terms as presiding elder.
He entered the ministry in 1897, when
he received his first charge, being
located in Camden. At one time he
was pastor of Commerce street M E..
Church and again Presiding Elder of
his district.

although turtle doves have been seen,
no time was taken of their arrival.
Frogs were first noticed on March 81.
The blizzard, the report states,s no
doubt retarded the arrival of other
birds.

A DRY SUNDAY.
No Beer Allowled to be Sold
in Gloucester.

gloucester was quiet Sunday in
comparison to what it has been during
some recent Sundays And yet if the
moral people of Bridgeton could have
been present and behell the great
crowds of pleasure seekers they would
have stood aghast, for it did not seem
as If there was one who regarded Sun
day differently from any other days.
Mayor Kames of Gloucester gave
it out on Saturday that no beer or am
brosia should be sold Sunday. He had
plenty OF policemen to enforce the
order and very little, if any was sold.
This was disappointment to the
people. The thousands of Philadel-
phlans who crowded the ferry boats
and taxed the railroad cars to their
utmost capacity were disappointed.
They had little faith in the order of
Mayor Kames, and when they arrived
there dusty and very thirsty, and
found it impossible TO get any of their
favorite beverage, they spoke right
out in denunciation OF the Mayor.
The ferry company, one of the EN-
ployees told a PIONEER reporter, had
sixty special policemen sworn in to
keep order on the boars Sunday,
and if all the trips ser. as turbulent
as the one taken ht our reporter
across the river. h. officers fully
earned their pay. Tn-re we're no less
than four fights or rhe rip, aud many
more quarres.
While anbrosia sn beer did not
show itself from any Of the saloons
Sudday, still th- reporter found
more drunkenness Ia lie single after
noon than is in this city in a month.
The drunkenness Was generally from
the crowds that carried the bottle, the
contents of which must have been Sc
cured Saturday night, in anticipation
of the dry spell. A few men were no.
ticed selling drinks from a bottle at
five cents per gulr. They did a good
business. Men and women were seen
reeling in a state Of bbeas9iy intoxfca-
ton, and even boys and girls Of tender
years were seen nnd-r the influence of
liquor. Card play ilg, gambling and
base ball games We're at all times in
progress, and if there was a preacher
in the city. his au1lence must have
been small. E
The beach was Gro xded with people
all the afternoon, aud crowds of men
and boys, entirely nude, were in bath
{, ing.
| Thus for at Least six hours every
Sunday can be seen these remarkable
| evidences of the depravity of the peo-
pie. Right in Jer.ey, where our gov
ernment is sur posed to protect the
good citizen and enforce the laws, we
find hole of iniquity. 1t is evidence
that there is a fatal lAxity in the con-
trolling government. he it city or couH-
| try, and it is tim. ii halt Was. called.
Not only is the e.isyrsce enc that must
be borne by the entire State, but the
possible result il alarming. There is
! danger that the Sabbath breakers
! may not coptine themselves to this one
/ spot, and that even our own county
may be involved by this spirit from
/ the roughs. Let ;he press and people
arise in their might and put down this
evil, and if the present authorities re-
fuse to do it, l.. rs bring about a
change, with q rl-an and pure admin
istration of justice by proper authori-
ties, as the ho.ie II the whole country
is in the keeping It rbe sabbath.

The resignation of Rev. Henry E.
Thomas, of the Greenwich Presby-
terian Church, is not necessarily final.
The friends of Mr.. Thomas, who are
many, not only in Greenwich, but in
the surrounding county, are determined
that ne shall stay and will vote against
accepting his resignation. Mr.. Thomas
is.a true Christian gentleman, and one
OF the most intellectual men in the
Presbyterry, and his resignation would
not only be loss to the Greenwich
Church, but to the county.

Drowned at Sea Breeze.

Sea Breeze seldom has a drowing
accident, but the water claimed a
victim Monday and as yet his name
is unknown The steamer John A.
Warner" arrived at Sea Breeze Mon
day with about seven hundred ex-
cursionists ON board. Among them
was man of about thirty-five, with
his family, a wife and one or more
children. Shortly after the man ar
rived there, he with two or three men
went down the beach some distance
that they might enjoy bath without
bathing apparel.
Some time later his companions
came running to the boat and said
that the man had gone down and they
had been unable to find him. A crowd
hurriedly returned to the place but
after careful search gave up, with
the belief that the body had fioated
out with the tide. The son of the
man picked up his fathers clothes and
the family returned to Philadelphia.
Before the Warner" had gotten out
of sight, some of the men who were
hunting for the body found it, lying
face downward, on the beach uncov.
cred, as the water had receded. Where
the body was found at the time of
drowning, could not have been more
than two feet of water, and it is some
what of a mystery how a man could
have drowned in such little water,
surrounded by his companions.
About eight o'clock, in response to
a call, Coroner Barnes, Undertaken
Pierce, accompanied by, a PIONEER
representative, left Bridgeton for Sea
Breeze, with an ice box. At the arriv-
al at the place, the body was in bath
house. The Coroner questioned all
very closely, but could learn absolute
]y nothing, not even the name of the
party. Strange as it may seem, none
Of the family or anyone representing
the family remained to see about the
case, and under the circumstances,
Coroner Barnes ordered the body
brought to this city.

The young ladies, fifty in numbeA,
who went down to the Warner House.
at Sea Breeze Saturday morning in
some half dozen hacks, enjoyed them
selves immensely at that popular resort
on the Delaware Bay. They arrived
there about noon, and after lounging
about in the great cool parlors of the
large house, they ate lunches that
they had brought with them. Then
followed a sail out on the water, and
after that a bath in the salt water.
The heavy thunder storm did not
seem to mar the pleasures of the young
folks. About half past four o'clock
the party assembled in the large
dining rooms and enjoyed heartily one
of those famous fish aud oyster dinners
which can only be prepared by such
men as George H. Bates The expen ses
of this delightful trip were sustained
by Mr.. Burgess, senior member of the
firm. 8
