Joseph Heishon, one of the Oldest
members of the Third Street M. E.
Church, Camden. and Rev. j. b. Graw,
the portly pastor, indulged in a lively
race to Sixth and Stevens street, at 6
o'clock Monday morning. The vet

saying he threw out the first shovel
full of earth for the erection of new
edifice.
Ground was broken for the building
at $50 in the morning, and was wit
messed by large number of people,
There were no ceremonies. The
structure will be much larger than the
old edifice and will cost $125,000. A
handsome parsonage will be con-
structed in the rear, 1t is hoped to
complete the building this year and
the name will be changed to the First

A century Old Landmark.

But a few hundred yards east of the
Old Presbyterian Church, and also on
Broad street, in this city, is the dwell
ling known as the Giles, or DIR. Jones'
house. 1t may not be generally known,
but this mansion was built in 1892, and
of the best selected materials, and for
that day artistically designed for con-
venience. 1t Is therefore contempor-
aneous with the erection of the Pres
byterian Church itself, and it's centen-
nial also can therefore be unostenta-
tiously observed on the 2eth instant,
by the residents thereof.
There have been but four owners
and occupants of the mansion during
the hundred years since it's corner
stone was laid, viz: Gen, James Giles,
who was the first President of Cum
berland Bank, chartered In 1916, and
who died therin in 1895; then occupied
by his son-in-law, Charles Reed, who
was the first cashier of the same insti-
tuition; after the death of Mr.. Reed in
1874 the late Rev. DR.. 8. B. Jones
purchased the property and moved
therein, where he resided until his
death in March, 1888, nearly forty
years; the present and last owner and
occupant of the old house. is Col. VIM.
E. Potter, grandson of Col. David
Potter of the Revolution. 1t might
In passing be observed that the latter
person sold the large lot as owned by
the late DIR. Jones to General Giles for
the erection thereon OF this his pri-
vate residence.

SINGING sTOpPED BUSINESS.
Visiting Christian EndeavOrs
arouse New York Stock
Brokers.

NEW YORK, July 11-Since Thurs
day this city has fairly swarmed with
Christian Endeavorers, and the effect
of their visit upon the business world
has been in many ways remarkable.
This morning q number of persons
wearing the G. E monogram were
visiting the Stock Exchange. A few
of the brokers, Inspired by their pres
ence, got together and started up the
good old hymn, ''Shall We Gather at
the River? ?''
In a moment all the bustling, selfish
money.seeking brokers on tie floor
had joined in,and all sang with aspirit
that threatened disaster to the roof of
the building. Business was forgotten
for nearly halt an hour, and the tickers
remained idle all the while, much to
the surprise of many officers in the
city. All the Oldest and most staid
brokers, together with their younger
colleagues, respectfully doffed their
hats and sang with an enthusiasm that
would have done credit to the En-
deavorers themselves.
Hardly had the reverberations of
the brokers' song died ont of the raf-
ters when sweet, clear soprano voice
up in one corner of the gallery COM
menced with an answering hymn,
Nearer, My God, to Thee" For a
moment the voice trembled alone, and
then the refrain was caught up by all
the visitors, and never had that strange
place heard such sweet music as poured
out Of that loft onto the hatless heads
of the listening brokers.
The brokers answered with "Amer-
lea" and the gallery with Sowing the
Seed" Then business was resumed.

builders, and anticipating the demand
the Board has opened q new avenue
on which are some fine lots.
The Grove House has been remod-

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
FOUR PEOPLE BADLY HURT

A Pleasure Party Turned to One
OF Sorrow fn Few Minutes.

A Pleasure Party Turned to One
OF sorrow fD a Few MinuIes.
A most unfortunate and terrible &C
cident and runaway occurred on
Broad st. hill last Wednesday after
I noou at half past four o'clock,in which
one man and two women and two little
children were painfully, and the man
seriously injured.
Mr.. Edmund Walton, his wife and
daughter, Mrs. Ernest Young and
her two infant children and Mrs. Wal
lens mother, had been in town with
some poultry. They were driving
down Broad street hill in market
wagon, when one of the breeching
straps broke, le'tipg the wagon, a
heavy market wagon, run upon the
heels of the horse. The animal be
came unmanageable, and. thinking no
doubt to get it under better control,
Mr.. Walton turned it to go up Atlan-
tic street.
The wagon struck the lamp post
and was overturned, and the horse
set to kicking. The occupants were
all pitched out, falling beneath the
wagon. The horse became detached
from the vehicle and went down the
sidewalk and was stopped. Men see
ing the accident ran to the wagon to
assist the helpless people, and lifted
the wagon bodily off them. When
taken up all of them were found to be
more or less injured.
Mr.. Walton was covered with blood
and SO was one of the women
1t was found that Mr.. Walton had
received a terrible cut In the head,
laying the scalp entirely open from
above the right eye to the back of the
head, whether the skull was fractured
or not could not then be determined.
The back of his his hand was cut
open lateraily, exposing the sinews of
the fingers, and two deep cuts were
upon his arm. His legs were cut and
bruised.
The women were cut slightly and
badly bruised about the heads, but
were not so seriously hurt, as were the
man, The children were but slightly
hurt, one or the children was an in,
FAINT in long clothes.
Or. Appelgate was onsthe ground in
a very few minutes after the accident
happened, and sewed up the cuts in
the mans head end hand, and ban
daged them gf
Mr.. V. D. Fisher procured a hack
and sent the people to their home.
Mr.. Walton lives at Frankford, Pa,
No. 4915 Franklin street, and was on
visit with his wife and her mother to
their daughter, Mrs. Young, who re-
sides on the Deerfield pike.
He had been some weeks anticipate
ing this visit, and was enjoying his
visit hugely, and while driving into
town he expressed his intense enjoy
ment of the fresh country air.
The old lady, Mrs. Walton's mother,
had long and severe cut across the
forehead,an was very badly shocked.
DIR. M. K. Elmer attended the injured
woman and sewed up the cash in the
old lady's forehead.
DR.. Appelgate went out to the home
of the Youngs' at Z o'clock last night.
Mr.. Walton. he said, was reviving but
had not yet fully regained conscious
ness.
The Doctor said this morning he did
not detect any fracture of the skull
and thought that the old gentleman
would recover, but he could not say
yet. The wound was a very serious
one.

What Country Papers, Can Do.

But little over month ago, the
Philadelphia clothing house of
Browning, King s. Co., commenced
systematic advertising in country
papers within a moderate radius of
Philadelphia. In this short time, the
manager of the house states, their
country trade already shows an in
crease of about fifty per cent. Since
this paper is among those used, we
presume our readers have had hand
