Francis Il. Reeves Makes n Novel
Proposition.

Over a hundred members of the
Presbyterian Social Union assembled
Monday night at the Hotel Bellevue,
Philadelphia, for the regular monthly
meeting of the society. The subject
for discussion was Which is the Scrip
tural and preferable mode of church
support, pew-renting or voluntary
giving ?"
Francis B. Reeves, formerly of
Bridgeton, offered novel proposition
by way of a substitute for the protest
against the opening of the Worlds
Fair on Sunday. He suggested that
several prominent clergymen go to
Chicago during the exposition and de.
liver series of sermons on the pro-
gress of the Church during the past
century, and also endeavor to hold re-
ligious meetings in the grounds and
public parks whenever practicable.
This scheme was heartily endorsed.

THE WAGON WAS WRECKED.
DR.. Mailly's Horse Ran Away
Tuesday Morning.


Tuesday morning DR.. H. Mailly
was driving on Commerce street, near
the East Bridgeton station. Some
body came out and poured a lot of
ashes in the street, frightening the
horse, and he started on a run. Dash
ing down the street, the animal got be-
yond control of the physician, and the
doctor jumped from the wagon. The
horse continued on and the wagon
was upset, breaking it badly.
When near the Woolen Mills, the
horse became loosed from the carriage
and dashed out Eassavenue. Fortune
ately DR.. Mailly was not hurt, nor the
horse Injured. The wagon, however,
was badly smashed.
The party who threw the ashes in
the road should know better. Years
ago Council discussed the danger aris-
ing from the practice, and an ordin-
ance was passed prohibiting the throw
Ing of ashes in the street. There is a
penalty for anyone doing this, aud as
thu practice is quite general all over
town it might be well to enforce the
law once or twice, and it will be broken

GRINER HELD.
The Defendant Held tn 1900
Bail for His Appearance at
the January Term of

Thursday William Griner, the
young man charged with assaulting
Miss Sophia Baldwin, was held in the
Sherff's office before the Mayor.
the hearing was strictly private,
only those particularly interested in
the case being permitted to be in
attendance. Prosecutor Logue con-
Quoted the case for the State, while
Hon. j, L. vanSyckel looked after the
interests of the defendant.
Miss Baldwin was first called as a
witness. She told her story in man
ner calculated to impress the minds
of those who heard it, with the
strong color of absolute truth. She
tod in detail the story exactly as pub
lished only in these columns yester-
day. Almost every movement was
closely followed by the young lady,
and while Mr.. VanSyckle was very Sc
we're In his crose examination, she
did not falter upon single point, nor
was her story in the slightest particu
lar changed from her examination in
chief.
Albert 8. Reeves, the gentleman for
whom Miss Baldwin is acting in the
capacity of housekeeper, was called.
He told of Miss Baldwin coming in on
Sunday night in terribly agitated
frame of mind, and amid much con-
fusion, told him the terrible story. He
arranged that an officer should be
present at meeting between the girl
and the culprit, and he also told of his
assisting G. B. Hendrickson in catch
ing the fellow. Griner told Reeves
after first denying the charge, that he
knew he had done wrong and asked
him to take him to his house to see
the girl for he thought he could make
it up with her. He realized the deep
disgrace and did not want it to get out
so that the family would know.
Reeves and Mr.. Hendrickson did take
Griner to the house and Griner offered
to pay the girl SO much per week If
she would drop the matter. This Miss
Baldwin refused to do.
Griner was then taken to the lookup
and remanded for hearing.
After the testimony was closed,
Mayor Dubois announced that he
would hold Griner for his appearance
at the next term of court, in the sum
of 81, 300 bail. Griner was taken back
to Jail and an effort will be made 10
secure bondsmen for him.
No arrest of the second party who
assaulted Miss Baldwin Sunday has
yet been made. In fact the interested
parties seem to be In the dark as to
the identity of the party although it
is possible that it may yet be learned.

Thomas Preston Deserts His Wife
and Gets I'm jail.

1t may be remembered that a few
months ago a man named Thomas
Preston eloped from this city with
pretty Lizzie Hill, the daughter of John
Hill, of South Pearl street. When
heard from the couple we're found to
be married and living in Philadelphia.
Their life Of bliss did not long endure
it seems, for Mrs. Preston soon had to
return to her fathers house or starve.
Thomas, himself also showed up in
this city, and his wife complained to
Overseer of the Poor Joel F. Pierce,
charging her husband with negIecting
to provide for her maintainance.
A warrant was sworn out and Pres
ton was arrested charged with nou-
support. Esquire Riley Monday com
mitted him to Jail to await further de-
velopments.
In the meantime a detective from
Philadelphia came down in search of
small boy, an overcoat, gold watch
and $50 in money. This boy, money,
watch and overcoat, left Nicetown, the
detective stated, in company with
Preston. The overcoat was found on
Preston's person, the boy was picked
up also, but the money had disap-
peared. The detective took the boy
away, and Thomas Is in Jail.

Commerce street west, out to about
where Jos. T. Whites farm Is situated.
This talk is again renewed, and it is
believed by those Interested that such
a scheme would be the means of ex-
tending Bridgeton west ward, and fine

$500 toward this Improvement, and it
is said that all property owners nearly
are willing to give a right of way

EDISON AFTER IRON.
The Wizard will Crush ThOus-
ands OfTOns of jersey Rock.

TRENTON, Dec. 8.--Thomas A. Edi
son first conceived the idea of working
magnetic iron ore thirteen years ago,
and has since been experimenting at a
cost of thousands of dollars; has erect
ed plant at Ogden. in the highlands
of New Jersey, which will, he believes,
demonstrate the commercial value of
his idea, which is to separate the ore
from the rock by electricity.
Edison states that by January /, the
Ogden plant will be putting through
1900 tons of rock a day. In speaking
of his scheme the great inventor said:
s'The ores of New Jersey are in the
primal rocks, and if these mineralized
rocks can be. worked commercially,
there is more iron ore in the State of
New Jersey than in any other area OF
equal size in the world.
"The average width of the mineral
lied rock at Ogden is about 200 feet,
containing about eighteen per cent.
of magnetic oxide. It has not hereto
fore been supposed by iron men that
any rock contained less than thirty
per cent. could be commercially con-
centrated, and this mill is erected for
the purpose of proving the contrary.
II it does prove success, the high
lands of New Jersey will once more
boom with the iron industry"

whipped out q revolver with the idea
of making it warm for Mr.. Padgett.
This weapon was wrested from him,
aud then Price used his teeth. He bit
Mr.. Padgett severely through the
hand, but the doughty farmer held on
to his man until help came, and Price
was tied up with q cord, which ran
about his body from head to foot.
Mr.. Padgett and g. neighbor then

We trust they may all find their ac-

of the ledger.

the year just closing has been pros
porous one with our business men.
We do not recall any instance of fnen-

all held their own and kept their busi-

in point of failures the year 1891 will
more than compare favorably with
any of its predecessors in local trade.
