lack Tar Without Fingers.

The sloop Annie Corey" Captain
james Crowell, of Greenwich, is own
on the railway at Rice Bros shipyard.
Her captain has not finger on either
hand and only the stump of a thumb,
yet he handles the lines equal to any
other old Jack Tar. Captain Crowell
was shipwrecked in 1875 and his hands
were so frozen that he lost all his fin
gers. He is getting ready for the fish
ing banks, from which he will run in
to Anglesea.

On a Racket.

About one o'clock Sunday morning
the residents of Mt. Zion were greatly
disturbed by a racket taking place in
one of the houses in that vicinity.
There are three or four persons living
in the house that claim to pay rent for
it, and it was some time before it was
found who was responsible for the
disorderly conduct. 1t seems that a
colored fellow who is no particular
credit to anybody has wife and one
or two other women who think that
the gay masher is just too nice for any
thing, and over this man the racket
occurred. The disorderly conduct
arose to such pitch that neighbors
sent after Officer Garrison, but as the
affair was taking place in the house
be did not think he had any authority
to enter the place, but the racket may
result in some arrests.

A Trade seldom Followed.

A correspondent in the Philadelphia
Ledger, a few days since, in reply to a
former correspondent who regretted
that rush-seated chairs could not be
made nearer than Connecticut,
calls attention to the fact that William
Ware, of Bridgeton, does such work,
and at a less cost than the eastern
firms. The editor of the column re-
marks as follows: "Other correspon-
dents testify to the good work done on
these fine old chairs by members of
the Ware family, who have been in the
business for three generations, not
able thing in this country.

The Monument Up.

The handsome monument of Stacy
Matthews, which was finished by John
Ogden, is now standing in its place in
the Broad street cemetery. The men
finished the work Friday, and the
Philadelphia employees of Mr.. Ogden,
have gone home. The monument is
the handsomest ever seen in this vi
cinity, and very few to equal it can be
found in this State. The shaft stands
thirty-one feet high, over-towering all
surrounding it. The monument has
been seen by very many, and without
exception, it is pronounced an acquisi-
ton to the cemetery, and a decided
credit to the builder, Mr.. Ogden.

Getting Ready to Move.

The employees of the County Clerk
office, are getting things in shape to
move out of their present quarters pre-
paratory to the building ofnew offices.
All the old dockets and papers which
are on file there, are being overhauled,
busted and packed in huge boxes.
Some of these old papers are quite in.
teresting to look over, especially dock
cts of Justices of the Peace. Some
are bound in sheep skin, and the pages
are yellow with age. Some of the
books that are packed, bear the date
of 1856, and perhaps some older than
that. Not few of them are older
than 1905. The offices will be vacated
in about a month.

Marrow Escape.

Last Thursday morning as three
young men in market wagon, were
coming in from picking strawberries,
on the Shiloh pike, they were nearly
struck by train on the Central road.
The locomotive whistle was not blown,
nor the bell rung, and the young men
were about to drive upon the track,
when woman near called to them to
stop as it was time for the train. They
halted and said they guessed not and
at that moment they heard the rum
BILE of the wheels and the train dashed
passed. Had not the woman stopped
them they would have been upon the
track when the train reached there.

SUIT FOE DAMAGES.
A Lawsuit Growing Out Of the
Grove Street Job.

Mrs. Paul J. Davis has entered suit;
through her lawyer John s. Mitchell,
ESQ.,, against the city of Bridgeton for
$4,000, damages for cutting down the
Grove street hill in front of her pro-
perty.
The statutes of this State give dam
ages for cutting down for grading, pro-
perty upon which has been erected
anv tenement house, if such cutting
down or digging away is done under
any authority of the city government.
The cutting down of Grove street
hill as is wall-known, has been long
going on; the City Council has visited
the locality in body and given con-
sent and approval of the work, it is
claimed, and it is further claimed that
it has been done under the direction of
the City Council through the commit
tee of councilmen of the ward
Whether the city will try to shirk
the responsibility of digging the hill
away or not seems to be question
for consideration 1t is claimed for the
city that the minutes or documents of
the city show no record of the work
having been ordered done. If this is
the plan of the city's defense, it places
the road overseer of that ward in a
predicament He will show however,
that he did the work by the authority
of Council, or of the Councilmen of
the ward. The suit is returnable July
1st next, and the papers are ia the
hands of the Sheriff.
The property affected by this suit
has a frontage of $50 feet on Grove
street. A stone wall has been erected
along this front, but by recent digging
this has become so undermined that
it has caved away and fallen into the
street. There are other properties
affected, and this suit may be the
entering wedge for more.

Affecting the Cron.

A raiser of the lucious strawberries
said recently that his crop would be
but about one third of what was eX-
pected. Owing to the rains and winds
a large majority of the berries are
rusted, and will not be fit for market.
The berries that are at present being
shipped are fine and excellent size,
but they are not very sweet. The
New York markets are paying from
seven to twelve cents for them.

so reverently as to the Grand Army of
the Republic. He then explained the
organization. The fraternity you en-
JOY is wrought from what you have
passed through, and none can sympa-
thize with you who has not passed
through the ordeal. Mr.. Written then
spoke of the heroes of the ages, and
yet none of them stand out in such
prominence as the members of the
civil Army. In support of his ar
gument he reviewed history. Greece
had its heroes; Rome had had her
Caesar and then there were Napoleon,
Wellington and yet George Washing
ton the father of his country was the
grandest of them all. There is also
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock,
Meade and the others. From this he
resumed the history of the Cival War,
its commencement. which was traced
away back to the time when the
thirteen States colonized until the time
the sword of Lee was handed to Grant
e1o AppOludUlOA. Dut III WAS tucA LII
ished forever.
The speaker then referred to the
noble work during the war and since
of the loyal women. Their work com
rnenced when the soldier left his home,
and will not be finished until the last
veteran is laid in the grave. The re-
suits of the war were then pictured,
and noble tribute paid to the pa
triotic soldiers, and as the flowers were
placed upon the graves, men could
thank themselves that at last all men
were free and equal. He then ap-
pealed to the soldiers to meet the last
great enemy with the same bravery
and success that they had in the past,
and then when the one Great Com
mander should announce the last roll
call, he wanted to hear every soldier
say Here am l Lord"

old man of n years, who had lost a

an especially fine one, and enlisted the
sympathy of every hearer.
