Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1889-10-24

Last June, when the fires went
out" at the glass houses, a blower,
who was single man, and who had a
failing with which he was familiar,
went up to one of our city function
aries and asked him if he would be
willing to do favor to fellow NOR
tai. Receiving an affirmative reply,
the blower took from his pocket $40 in
gold, and said: II want you to take
this money and keep it for me, only
dealing out to me 81 per week with
which to pay my board, no matter
what pretext l may come to you with,
for money, don't let me have any in
any case whatever, but for my board"
The gentlemen took the money, and
the blower drew 81 per week for ten
weeks to pay his board, the last pay
ment being Sept. 10th last.

Taken to Prison.

Tuesday morning Sheriff Shaw, with
ex-Councilman Rogers and his son
Harry, left Bridgeton with the prison
ers sentenced to State Prison by the
Court. There were six of them. Chas.
Filler goes for two years, while Harry
Sharp, Harry Grosevenor, Robert
Jones, William Hampton, and Stephen
A. Arthur will remain one year. Filler
and Hampton have been in the prison
before, and will readily be recognized
when they are lined in front of the
officers at the entrance. There was a
large crowd at the depot that morning
to see the prisoners off, and the young
criminals seemed to be happy, despite
the sad ending of the journey. Two
or three gentlemen who have been
conducting meetings in the jail were
at the depot to give the young fellows
some encouraging words.

Trenchard for Clerk.

William B. Trenchard the Republi-
can candidate for County Clerk, will
be elected by good round majority.
All the Democratic maneuvering to de-
feat him by trading the other part of
their ticket, will go for naught. He
will be elected. The Millville Republi-
can gives four very strong reasons why
Mr.. Trenchard should be the next
Clerk. They are:
l. He is most amply qualified. His
education and traing admirably fit
bim for the position. sfye
2. He has knowledge of the prop
erty of the country, not excelled by
any man within her borders.
3. He is the peer of the candidate of
of the Democracy in all that will tend
to render the discharge of the duties
of the office efficient and faithful.
4. He is the fairly and squarely nom
mated candidate of the Republican
party, and as such is justly entitled to
the hearty support of all its members.

1t is Highly Satisfactory.

THE early mail is like an old flint
lock musket, it shoots backward in
stead of forward. Before that was put
on, letter mailed in Elmer for nearby
towns would generally get there some
time the same day, but under the new
order of things if you want to get
letter anywhere by tomorrow, you
have to mail it yesterday" Thus
walls the Elmer Times. In several
other parts of that paper there are
other walls. But Bridgeton is de-
lighted. Her merchants have their
important Philadelphia correspond
ence on their desks by eight O'Clock,
and the professional gentleman with
others, has scanned over the morning
papers, and learned of the doings of
the world, before he has been required
to commence his duties. Bridgeton
would never give up its early mail
without a strong protest, for already
it has become an established convent
ence.

A Lame Law.

The Journal says: Judge Hoagland
than whom there is no better author
ity in Cumberland County, states that
the average number of indictments for
liquor selling, at each term of Court
in years past has been from six to
eight, and that at the last term, under
the Werts law, there was but one."
That's why we are so unhappy. 1t
shows the lameness of the law. If
there has been any diminutioni in liquor
selling or drinking, or drunkenness or
fighting caused by drunkenness, peo-
pie in a position to observe have not
found it out, and yet under the Werts-
Baker law but one Indictment is found
while under the Local Option law there
were several. 1t is very clear then
that under the Local Option law men
were punished for selling whiskey
while under the Werts law they are
not. We thank the Journal for call
ing attention to this fact Vinelaq,d

MIR. Seaman Il. Fowler.

Editor Pioneer:-For more than,
twenty years I have known Mr.. Sea
man r. Fowler, the Republican nomi
nee for Senator, and know him to be
man of excellent business habits, of
strict integrity, and thoroughly reli-
able.
For several years he was a member
of the Township Committee, and
Chairman of the Board; was Collector
of Lands township number of terms
and was also Postmaster for several
years. These positions of trust and
responsibility, he filed with credit to
himself and to the satisfaction of his
constituents. He is not only a true
and consistent Republican, but is
sound and straight on the temperance
question, as we'll as on every other
question of reform, that is likely to.
come before the Senate. This item is
written, not with the knowledge or
consent of Mr.. Fowler, but as a just
and merited tribute to his worth as q
citizen and a public man; and l hesi-
tate not, to say that the voters of this
county will make no mistake in giving
to Mr.. Fowler, not only their conf
dence but a hearty support at the
polls in the coming election.

Valuable Assistance.

The Republicans of New Jersey are
hoping to have the early and able ad-
vice and counsel of Senator Quay,
chairman of the National Republican
Committee, in the conduct of the cam
paign in Hudson county. His will be
a helping hand, indeed, if it can be Sc
cured. He knows Albeit, and is famil-
lar with the ism which bears his name.
If by his aid the vote of that county
can be honestly cast, and counted as
cast, Mr.. Quay will have the grateful
thanks of the entire State. That con-
dition of things being given, the
''usual' Democratic majority of Hud-
son will have taken long stride
toward the vanishing point.

Getsinger a. Sons New store.

The new store of Getsinger & Son,
at their glass works on Grove street,
was opened last week. Mr.. John
Naglee is the head store keeper
and manager of the business. James
Campbell and John Holmes are assist
ants. The store is with the basement,
a pretty three-story building 24x36 feet
in size of ground plan, and is very con-
veniently arranged. 1t is already
stocked up with a full line of groceries
and provisions, boots and shoes and
notions. The upper story will be en-
tirely devoted to carpets and furniture
of which full lines will be kept. They
have handsome new delivery wagon
with spanking horse, with which to
serve their customers. The store build
ing is quite an ornament to that part
of Grove street, and a credit to that
portion of the Second ward. The
store will be quite an accommodation
to the many employees of Getsinger &
Sons glassworks.

He Voted for Harrison.

The Democrats of Gloucester cou nty
are far from happy. and the cause of
their discomfort is that they have in
their candidate for Assembly, John
Long, of Glassboro, man who last
fall cast his vote for Harrison.
This fast was not generally known
before his nomination, and at the
Convention it had been arranged that
ex-Postmaster James J. Davidson, of
Swedesboro should receive the nomina-
ton. The name of Davidson was,
however, Withdrawn, and Long had,
no opposition. This part of his record
the party leaders do not know what to
do with, and they are doing all in their
power to hush the matter up. Long
says he did it under the impression
! that he ought to vote for protection.

BRDGETON N J, THURSDAY, OCTOBER d. 1885,

The will was drawn by Charles E.
Sheppard, Esq, and the witnesses
were DR.. Jacob G.. Streets and Nellie
Foster.
The will as read showed that Mrs.
Day had provided that the estate
should become the property of Mrs.
Nancy Dubois during her life time,
with certain provisions. After the
death of Mrs. Dubois, the Executor.
G. E. Sheppard is to sell the property,
and the proceeds to be divided among
the children of Mrs. Dubois. Mr..
Mitchell then made an exhaustive ar.
gument in the case, declaring the will
was made by woman of remarkable
mental powers, and was not easily in
fuenced. He also argued that Mrs.
Dubois was fully entitled to the
property willed her. During the argu-
ment there arose several points on
law and Mr.. Mitchell dealt with them
very elaborately.
At the conclusion of the argument,
Col. Potter began his address to the
Court. AS the evidences was not read,
a report cannot be given, which will
enlighten the reader. He claimed for
those he represented that the will was
made under undue influences upon the
part of others. Much of the argument
was devoted to law points entirely
The argument was exhaustive and
complete. After the argument the
Court took the case to consider.

Fail Vegetables.

Vegetables are in their fall dress.
Potatoes do not suggest any marked
rottenness. The turnip is as full of
water as of yore and the pumpkin is
solidly in favor of pie. The cucumber
has crept into the pickle jar, in CON-
pany with small fry onions, tomatoes
and SIGH, and the Lima bean begins to
wear water-logged appearance in Or
der to deceive the buyer to some ex-
tent. There isn't much difference,
from an honest standpoint, between
a short pint or quart measure and a
water-soaked bean.

A PATHETIC MEETING.
Gen. Grubb Runs Across an Old
Drummer Boy.

DTuHhMcr nOys
When General Grubb was going
through T. B. Peddie & Co.'s trunk
factory. while in Newark, one of the
workmen, young looking man, wrung
his hand aud asked
Don't you know me, colonel?'
General Grubb looked at him close
ly for an instant, and then said hesi-
tatingly:
II think do, but your moustachs
has changed you somehow"
Don't you remember Denny, the
drummer boy in Thirty ty-seventh:"
asked the workman, smiling
"Oh, yes, said the general, eagerly;
Il remember you now" You were
my orderly at Petersburg. Then his
eyes filed with tears. You remember
my brother. too?"
"Yes, he was the first victim," re-
piled Dennis, sorrowfully. II remem-
Der him WELL"
General Grubb shook hands warmly
again and passed on. The workman is
Theodore 6. Dennis. At the age of II
he enlisted as drummer in Company
E, Thirty-seventh New Jersey Volun
teers. He was the first drummer de-
tailed under fire before Petersburg as
an orderly to the then Colonel Grubb.
When the General spoke of his brother
Dennis recalled the fact that when the
regiment camped in the swamps at
Bermuda Hundred General Grubb's
brother was the first of many in the
regiment who took sick and died. The
young drummer played dirge at the
funeral.
II have slept, eaten and fought with
General Grubb," said Dennis to-day,
''and' know him. He was the same
idol of our regiment that George B.
Mcclellan was of the Army of tho Po-
tomac. We would have followed him
anywhere. He gave me his watch and
money to keep before the fight at
Petersburg. He led the center of the
line in the charge himself, and he wore
the same cool smile that you saw on
his face yesterday. He did not know

The first service was Love Feast at
nine o'clock, and at 1890 the President,
Rev. 4. B. Applegate, preached very
fine sermon. In the afternoon there
was a delightful service for young

which overcrowded the church.
Monday nearly all of the dele
gates left this city for their homes.
They expressed themselves as much

ministers who are to take new charges
