Adelaide, her voice peculiarly even and

she stood. Just as she had on the day of

He stood like statue. The situation

Tuesday was the last day Of :the
rabbit season, and Henry Joslin, Evan
o. Compton, Geo. Cawman and Ross
Lockwood concluded to enjoy a days
sport. Everything moved along nice-
ly until about the middle of the after.
noon while passing through swamp
near Newport, Harry Joslin stepped
upon a stump, his right hand resting
upon the muzzle of his gun, when
from some cause both barrels were
discharged, the load tearing off the
hand OF young Joslin. His compan-
ions rushed to his rescue and did what
they could for him. Fortunately Chass
Ballenger, of Bridgeton, was passing
by in a buggy, and took the wounded
man in and carried him to Newport.
Here he was visited by Drs. Glandon,
Judson and Butcher, who after con-
snltation. concluded to amputate the
remaining portion of the hand just
above the wrist. Wednesday the
young man is doing as we'll as could
be expected. Joslin is about seven

HIS CO-LABORERs.
William Il. McCOO, q Farm Hand
at BOwentOwn, Arrested
for Theft.

William E ward McCoo, colored, in
the employ of Farmer Thomas M.
Ware, at Bowentown, Saturday night
stole an overcoat, a pair of boots, a
vest, and a watch chain from two
white farm hands who were employed
there. Atttring himself in the articles,
he decamped.
Early Sunday morning Mr.. Ware
came to Bridgeton and secured the
services of Constable Robert F. Ayars,
who took the first train on the West
Jersey Road in search of him. At
Monroeville sixteen miles from this
city, McCoo was seen staining in the
station, having just purchased a ticket
for Philadelphia. He was quickly ar
rested, brought back to Bridgeton,
and put in jail.

Boy Injured.

Monday night, when the fire alarm
struck, a fellow riding In buggy
dashed his horse up Walnut street
upon dead run. A crowd of young
fellows were running In the street, and
one little fellow named Carsten, living
in South Bridgeton, did not see the
running horse in time to get out of it's
way, and was thrown down, and both
wheels of the vehicle passed over him.
He was picked up and it was found
that his left arm had been broken.
He was carried to his home in the
carriage of the man who had caused
the unfortunate accident.

tunate mistake OF Edward H. Paxton,
skilled machinist in the employ of Cox
4 Sons. who now lies seriously burned
at his home, No. 300 Cohansey street.
Somewhere about midnight the work
man who has control of the tanks
found the feeding tanks we're not
nearly as full as they should have been
and in some way the stop valve did
not work, and he sent for machinist
Paxton. That gentleman soon put in
an appearance, and ignorant of any
danger took lantern in the building
with him. 1t WAS this mistake that
caused all the trouble and may cost
the machinist his life. He discon.
nected the valve and in moment the
gas from the feeding tank rushed out,
and the lantern caused disastrous
explosion. Paxton was terribly burned
before he could escape, and the flames
leaped everywhere as detailed above.
O. W. Shoemaker, a member of the
Glass company, told a PIONEER re-
porter this morning that the total loss
will aggregate very nearly $4,000,
upon which there is no insurance, the
Insurance companies refusing to cover
this sort of hazard lin their policies.
There was about four hundred boxes
of German clay in the building, and it's
loes is estimated at about $1,5OO.
When the iremen were getting their
apparatus in shape for the second
fight, Capt. Francis Wilsey was aesist-
ing in unreeling the hose wheu his
hand caught in the chain wheel and it
was terribly mangled.
The firemen deserve great credit for
the hard fight they made. They prac-
tically worked seven hours, and fought
valiantly. At eight O'Clock the fire.
men were given substantial lunch
from the store Of the Glass company,
and right eagerly did the boys pitch
in and help themselves, for they had
acquired quite an appetite.
A PIONEER reporter visited the
house OF machinist Paxton this morn
ing, and found Drs. J. G.. Streets and
Harris In attendance upon him. The
machinist was badly burned about the
head. face and hands. When the
bandages were taken off, the skin and
raw flesh came off with them. He was
in terrible condition of suffering.
Whether his injuries would prove
fatal or not, could not then be deter
mined, but the Indications were that
the burns were very serious, with
chances OF fatality.

as the train stopped, he got out on the
west side OF the track aad saw the
horses In the rear of the train.
He saw the wagon on the front of
the engine, and he went down to it.
The wagon was standing upright on
the pilot of the engine, very securely
fastened. He then went back to the
man and found him still living but un-
conscious, bleeding terribly. He went
back and found the horses had sheered
square across the road and dashed
over the track fully ten and possibly
twenty feet south of the plank cross
ing.
VIM. Scott, Jr, fireman. gave testi-
mony similar to that already given by
the others. Nothing new was added
but the rearing Of the horses before
they dashed across the t-.,c..,, "rcc.--
ing to be frightened.
F. A. Baker, baggage master of the
train, testified that he heard the usual
crossing and danger signals and saw
the body afterward together with the
horses. His testimony wes simply a
correlation of those before.
Chas. 8. Fithian testified that he
was passenger upon the train. He
felt the shock of the air when 1t was
put on the brake. He saw the man
lying on the east side of the lrask. He
testified that the engineer showed
great judgment In not derailing the
cars, as the road bed is very narrow,
and an embankment of six Or eight
feet on either side.
Frank F. Garrison was out cunning
near the scene Of the aocidsat, and
said that before the crossing was
reached one of the horses appeared to
be rearing. He did not see the team
struck. The wagon crossed the naked
track some fifteen feet south of the
crossing. He said he did not notice
any danger signals. He noticed the

was a temperate man. He heard him
say at times that he had had good

thought the crossing was a very bad
one. t.---a
Howard L. Tyler, reporter of the
PIONEER, testified as to the wagon
and horse tracks, where they had
crossed the railroad tracks.
DIR. Thompson testified as to the in
juries the man had received. He said
he found that all the side of the skull
above the ear, and the top of the face
bones were all mashed, and above
the eye was deep cash. The skin
was not broken except at this cash,
but the bones were crushed and the
cheek bone was broken. These wounds
were sufficient to cause death
G. P. Fox, the owner of the team,
testified that Mr.. Urion had been in
his employ, and drove this team since
last June; he considered him a very
careful man and the team an extra
gentle team and fearless OF steam.
The jury then adjourned to go up to
the scene of the catastrophe when they
will make up their v.idict.

There was a lively time at Gould
town on Saturday. during a basket
festival at the hall, from which the
meeting was successfully broken up
and several persons were roughly
handled.
Some Of the Sunday School people
of Gouldtown had arranged for bas-
ket festival for the purpose of provid-
ing for the Christmas festivities of
some sort.
It seems that there has been bad
blood between some of the Jehokaville
people and some of the young fellows
of Gouldtown, and Saturday after
noon word was passed around that the
Jehokaville fellows were intending to
60 ont there in the evening and clean
them up"
Sure enough in the evening. the no.
terious John Harmon, the two Will
liams boys, Nick Brown and the two
Smiths, all black fellows of Jehoka-
vile, it is said, appeared there, armed
with clubs, stones and razors.
They gathered around the hall
where the festival was in progress and
insulted and taunted the young fel.
lows and everybody else not of their
party; ohaffed them with being cow
ardly, etc., until an affray was pre-
voked.
The melee had hardly begun whom
razors appeared In the hands of these
black fellows.
Lehman Pierce, one of the Gould.
town crew, was knocked down by John
Harmon and cut across the forehead
with razor, and then Harmon fell
upon him, and with big stone, beat
his face almost into q jelly. $40,
Anthony Gould undertook to pull
Harmon off Pierce, when someone
from behind hit him on the side of the
head with blackjack, cutting an
ugly cash.
Harmon seems to have done the
most effective work with his ''razor,"
which he Is said to have had fastened
on the end of a stick. He chased one
Of the Wright boys and slashed at him
with it, cutting his coat Preston
Gould was cut through the overceat,
and Frank Wright is reported to have
been struck with club and had his
arm broken and otherwise injured.
It Is said that Lehman Pierce is seri
ously hurt. The festival broke up and
warrants were procured on Saturday
night and Monday morning by the
persons In charge for the arrest of chose
engaged in the fracas.
Harmon and his crowd fled and no
arrests were made. Harmon Is al
ready under $500 bail for court for as
saulting a woman.

drills, it is not unlikely that this COM
pany would suffer to some consider
able extent. Why the companies
should persist in this dangerous prac-
tise cannot be fully understood, or it
is very likely in some not very distant
day, there will result a very expensive
accident.
There are long lines of loaded cars
sent flying down grade from the
junction East of Pearl street, and as
the cars reach North Laurel street
they have great speed, and of course
no warning sounded, and everyone is
likely to just get upon the track, and
then too, one flying drill is made after
the other, and a person can scarcely
tell when he is safe.
Yesterday PIONEER reporter was
up in that vicinity and saw a string
of loaded coal cars darting down
grade, and only Atty feet from it darted
another string. No wonder people
living in that neighborhood are pro.
testing. They have right to rise up
In arms and should do so. There
should be proper authorities to look
after this matter, and their early
attention should be given before some
fatal calamity occurs. Act, and act
quickly.

Senator Blodgett was interviewed
by a World reporter yesterday-at
least SO the World says,-and he is
quoted as formally stepping out of
Governor Abbett's way in the rae for
the S~enatorship. This is wise. The gem
tieman from Monmouth, who owes his
present seat to party treachery.
would be a very poor looking figure in
a fresh contest. 1t is hardly likely
that the incidents of the struggle of
1887 would be repeated, and Senator
Blodgett is not the sort of man to
make much Roadway in a straight out
fight. His own description of him
self as more at home in a railway
office than in politics shows that he
knows himself clean down to the
ground.
1t is evident, however, that the
Senator's early surrender is merely
the result of selfish fears. There is
not a particle OF generosity, no sense
Of the fitness of things about it. He
feels he cannot get the place and so he
will not fight for it; but like the canine
party in the fable, he does his best to
hurt his adversary's chances OF getting
it. too. There is a spitefulness in his
remarks concerning Governor Albeit
which is altogether unlovely alike
FROM its untruthful spirit and its ma
~levolent intent. If Governor Albeit
had been inclined to advance his own
interests at the expense Of the Demo
cratic party, he might have sat in
the National Cabinet years before
Mr.. Blodgett had a hope Of being
Senator, and he might have punished
the treachery which caused his own
defeat by blasting the prospects of
all his enemies. If any criticism can
fairly be made against Governor
Albeit, it is that his party
zeal has been sometimes too
strong and has led him through
an exaggerated loyalty to do things
which many persons do not approve.
This is assuredly a fault for which his
r:- I'll &c. qusTTe. with him.
Senator Blodgett contributes a few
remarks Of the Bunsby order on the
subject of National politics. The
only remarkable one is the opinion
that the silver question will over
shadow all others in the next Presi-
DENTAL campaign. Senator Blodgett
has a fine capacity for error.

Cowardly Runians.

The case of John Reich, who was
beaten almost to death by a Canal
street gang on Saturday evening,
illustrates one of the worst tendencies
of gangs ingeneral. We refer to their
recklessness of the results of personal
violence. We cannot believe that
any man of the party concerned in
the m~altreating of Reich was wicked
enough to desire his death. The
helpless condition Of his wife and
children was well known in the neigh
borhood, and it should have been
enough to ensure his safety in the
hands OF any but the most brutal of
ruffians.
Attack upon women with infants in
their arms has for ages been the last
accusation that could be brought
against Iawless and pitiless men. The
assault upon Reich was exactly that:
his wife and children will suffer more
than he. even with his wounds.
Nothing but an utter disregard for the
rights OF human beings could have re-
suited in this crime-a disregard born
of innumerable drunken quarrels,
and developed toward its natural end
of murder amid the favoring condi-
ton of immunityfrom arrest, through
the laxity of the police. Gangs are
dangerous. Their brawling is always
serious, whatever may be its imme-
date result. II John Reich mad seen
any prospect of legal escape from the
persecution of these men he would
not have risked his life by going out

could think OF. He was but one

PRINCE FERDlNAND'S THRONE.
1t Is Probably Safe as Long as His None

1t Is Probably Safe as Long as His None

If the prince is playing king in Bulgaria
because he loves the sense of power-and
it is exceedingly difficult to believe that
he can have any other motive-it is still
true that Stamboiof is manager and holds
the b~ox-ofIice, and that he is likely to
change the STAR whenever it pleases
his fancy; provided, of course, the Bull
garian audiences still come to the play.
In other words, provided the various fac
tions struggling 10 get control do not
break n the theatre n throw the
company and properties into the street.
1t Is also equally true that NJ. Stefan
Stambolof is today by far the most COM
handing personality in his country.
Never a soldier, and always a politician,
with only three years schooling at
Odessa. he became, when hardly
grown, q Russian correspondent, aud
for some years thereafter a Russian agent.
Rising rapidly by his own force of char
acter, he was appointed a regent BY Alex
ander when he abdicated, aud now when
only SO years OF age occupies more of the
nervous attention of the Governments of
Eastern Europe than any other one man
West of the Bosphorus.
Stamboloff's plan for governing was
simple and to the point. 1t called for
100000 rubles and a king. Who THIS
king might be, or where he should hail
from. vas a matter of detail. Anybody
but a Russian or Il Turk would do. And
so numerous offers were made in a conf
dental way 10 various gentlemen who
though they had an especial. divine gift
for reigning, aud who lacked the opDortu-
nifty only because of the depleted condition
OF their hank accounts. At last a fond
and ambitious mother and an obliging son
with an almost unlimited reserve fund
unlimited for the ordinary needs of life
took the bait.
1t was not, however, a harmonious
family arrangement, for 1t was well
known that the young princes uncle, the
Duke of Saxe-Coburg, did what he could
10 prevent the final agreement, he being
an older and wiser diplomist, and having
had a longer and varied experience In the
ups and downs of several see-saw govern
ments. Among other things, the Duke
boldly stated that it was only a question
of money with the Bulgarian regents, and
that Ferdinand would leave the throne
when his guldons were gone. as Alexan-
der had left. to whom the Bulgarian
Government then owned three millions
OF francs The Dukes prophecy is not
yet fulfilled. If, however, the statement
of reliable Bulgarians is TO be taken, a
