SPECIAL MEETING.
Looking Over the MauricetOwn
Bridge.

By order of the Mauricetown Bridge
Committee, Director Bacon called
special meeting of the Cumberland
County Board of Freeholders, to hold
a session at Mauricetown Monday,
to look over certain defects in the
bridge at that place. The call was re-
sponded to by all the members except
ing Mr.. Birkinshaw, of Vineland.
At the last meeting of the Board,
Messrs. Harris, Elwell and Shaw were
appointed to investigate the defects,
and were authorized to repair them if
the cost did not exceed $500. This, in
the opinion of the committee, was in
sufficient for the work, and the meet
ing was called.
The members met upon the bridge,
and a close inspection was made of
the west abutment, where the trouble
has occurred. The walls are terribly
cracked. Just how they became that
way is question. Some of the mem
bers are of the opinion that the heavy
sand of the approach to the bridge, has
pushed the heavy stone out. Others
are Of the opinion that the pilings are
not sufficiently heavy to hold the
weight OF the abutments, and they be-
lieve that it will be necessary to take
the whole walls down, and rebuild
from the pilings.
Dean & Westbrook, the contractors
who built the bridge, have viewed the
matter, and they believe that the sand
theory is correct, and offer to dig out
the approach, fill ia with stone and
lumber and anchor the stone walls
back to them. This firm offered to do
the work for $3.50. r,
The meeting of the Board was held
in Sheppard's Hotel. After many mo-
tions and GENERALLY free discussions, the
following resolutions by Director Ba
con, finally prevailed: r.~n Z
Resolved: That a committee OF this
Board, consisting of A. Harris, B. B.
ElweD, Thos s.. Shaw, ). p. Richards,
and Thos. Hand, be authorized by this
Board to reconstruct the West end of
the Bridge abutments at Mauricet own,
in accordance with the proposed plan
of Dean & Westbrook made to the
Board this day, provided that in the
event of their finding after excavating,
that the committee deem it inexpedi-
ent to proceed further in this way, that
they be authorized to proceed and take
down the whole wall and rebuild from
the foundation.
Two or three bills were ordered paid,
and the meeting adjourned.

A telegram received Sunday by
Mr.. John B. Cleventine, editor and
proprietor Of the Bridgetom Chronicle,
conveyed the sad intelligence of the
sudden death of Mre. Clevenstine's
mother, Mrs. Garst, at her home in
Reading, Pa. The telegram gave no
explanations, but it is supposed that
death was caused by heart trouble.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clevenstine have the
sympathy of the PIONEER, and their
many friends in this city, in their sad
bereavement.

Salem County Farmers Meet.

WooDsTowN, April PA large num-
Der of farmers attended the meeting of
the Salem County Board of Agricul-
ture here yesterday. The Executive
Committee announced that no combin-
alton stock sale would be held this
spring. Woodruff Petit, of Manning
ton, read an excellent paper on the
raising of fancy or trotting horses on
the farm, which was followed by dis
cussion on the subject, the general
opinion being that the raising OF such
stock was profitable to the farmer if
sales were made at the right time, and
training left to those who made that a
specially. J. Walter Pancoast thought
no branch of farming offered such
good prospects in Salem county as the
raising of well bred horses.
Discussions on the best plans of
growing white potatoes, and whether
or not the use of commercial fertilizers
paid farmers followed. On the latter
point some contended that the contin-
ued use of fertilizers injured the land,
but the majority expressed their faith
in complete fertilizers judiciously ap-
piled.
A resolution passed at a former meet
ing of the Board, approving the sub
treasury plan of the Farmers Ainance,
was ordered expunged from the min
utes of that meeting.

Louis FRANKIE & Co., of New York, the

NEW YoRK, April lS-The silk trade was
surprised yesterday by the announcement
Of the suspension OF the we'll known firm Of
Louis FRANKIE & Co., importers Of raw silk,
at No. 40 Grand street, and manufacturer
Of thrown silk at Paterson, N. J. The part.
ners in the flrm-Louis FRANKIE and Henry
w. Sirius made a general assignment,
without preference, to Lawyer Adolpus II.
Stoiber
Rumors had been current for several days
past that a large silk house was in trouble,
but the trade had no idea that Louis Frank,
& Co. was the embarrassed concern. The
firm has always stood we'll, and was sup
posed to have capital of at least $500, ,0O0
In the trade the greatest sympathy was ex
pressed for the partners, and il was hoped
their embarrassment would be only tenn
porary, and that they would be able to gel
an extension from their creditors. The liza
bilities OF the firm are said TO be upward oi
s900,00O, with nominal assets OF Si,2OO,O0O
The suspension is attributed 10 inability q
raise money to meet maturing obligations,
the stoppage OF accommodations by the
banks and losses sustained by the recent
failures in this city and Paterson. IL il
said the firm was caught in all the recent
failures in the silk trade.

SEA AND SHORE.
Arrival of the Richard Rush
From Alaska Waters.

The United States revenue cutter Richard
Rush arrived from Port Townsend yester-
day morning, having been in Alaskan waters
for several months. When she left this
port 1t was supposed that she went on a
cruise in Behring Sea in search Of seal
poachers, but the results of her trip show
that she did not attemnt to capture any.
When seen in regard to his voyage Captain
Coulson refused to state whether his in
structionS were to seize sealing poachers OF
to make any statement regarding his con-
duct should any foreign vessels be found
poaching in Behring Sea. He did state,
however, that the report of British vessels
fitting cut for winter cruise in Behring Sea
is all nonsense, for the reason that the seals
do not cOngregate there after the 1st of
December
The cutter left Port Townsend on July
I'd and proceeded to Unga Island, where the
sealing fleet was anchored ready to go into
Behring Sea. United States Commissioner
Tarpley was received at O0Dalaska and
taken to Unga Island to conduct the pre-
liminary examination of Joseph l.. w. Clark,
who killed Agent Hemingway. Clark was
held on the charge of murder and taken
to Sitka for trial. The Rush also took to
Port Townsend Deputy Collector Emmnns,
who seized the schooner Matte Dyer. En-
mons claims to have additional evidence to
prove tllat ue was JuSllUeQ In selZlnS Inc
schooner. A fine specimen of the family
phocida, an immense walrus, was brought
down by the Rush. The animal is thirteen
feet long and has tusks three feet in length.
Its estimated weight is four tons.
The steam schooner Jeanne left this port
on Tuesday for Puget Sound with a cargo of
general merchandise. On her deck she had
fifteen tons OF powder and five OF giant pow
der. Some time after leaving the schooner
sprung a leak, and the captain determined
TO return to port The leak proved to be
dangerous one, and it was found necessary
to put back as speedily as possible. Coal
WAS shoveled on the fires in great quantities,
and the speed of the schooner was thus in-
creased. This increase. however, gave rise
to another danger, and the smokestack began
to give forth sparks which were blown on
the deck near where the powder was stored.
For a time the few passengers on the
schooner were between two dangers, that of
sinking and that Of being blown to pieces.
Happily none of the sparks ignited, and the
schooner returned safely into port. Her
condition will be the subject Of an investi-
CATION to-day.
The contractors for Section B of the sea-
wall began work yesterday morning.

INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS.
Special Agents to Begin Their Compil

Special Agents to Begin Their Compila-
tion Next Week.
The Special Agents of the Census ap-
pointed TO collect the statistics Of the manu-
features in this city are about to begin their
canvass, and every effort will be made to do
the work thoroughly and systematically. j.
ii. Gilmore, for many years Superintendent
of the Mechanics Institute Fairs, has been
appointed special agent in charge of the
work, with a corps of fourteen assistant
special agents. These have the same powers
conferred upon them, in respect to the SUBJ
Jects in their charge, as had the enumeratorS
of the census.
The law governing the work of these
agents provides penalties for refusing or
willfully neglecting to answer questions or
for giving false information. Tho statistics
will consequently be of much interest and
value, and it is hoped that manufacturers
will do all in their power to assist in render
ing the returns as complete as possible.
The special agents are sworn not to dis
close any information obtained by them to
any person not authorized to receive the
same, under severe penalties imposed by
law, and no tabulaton of the returns what
ever is permitted to be made by the Office or
agency here, the schedules when completed
being at once forwarded to the Superin-
tendent of Census at Washington. The
census reports themselves, moreover. will
not disclose the names or the operations of
individual establishments, nor will the data
be used as the basis of any system of taxa
ton or license, or in any way to affect ad-
versely the interests of manufacturers.
The canvass will probably begin on Mon
day. the 10th inst.
