Accident.
This morning in the neighborhood
of eleven O'Clock, as DIR. 7. B. Welch
was driving in carpenter Bobb's wa
gon with his two little grandchildren
and a small boy from the Stevens
House, the horse took fright at the
steam whistles on the New Jersey
Central railroad. and started to run
away. One wheel of the wagon struck
fire plug on Sixth street, throwing
the Doctor and the baby Willie, out
on the ground, while little John Welch
was thrown over the dashboard in
front of the wagon, where he clung
for some time. He finally fell off, the
wagon passing directly over his body,
but doing little damage. The boy
from the Stevens House was the only
one that was not thrown out, and he
remained in the wagon till the horse
stopped in front of Edson's livery
stable. The Doctor and little Willie
were brought to the house together,
and John was picked up later on.
Drs Wiley and Wilson were called
in attendance and it was found that
DR.. Welch's ankle had bean thrown
out of place besides breaking a small
bone. The baby, which has always
been a sickly child, is in a rather
dangerous condition, but John is safe
from harm as far as they know now.
John had an exceedingly narrow es-
cape, and his position in front of the
dashboard was such that if the horse
had been inclined to kick he would
undoubtedly have been Immediately
killed - Vsneland Republican Sept. zs.

JOHN G. WHITTIER DEAD.
The Great Poet Dies Wednesday
Morning.

HAMPTON FALLS, N. H., Sept. r.
John Greenleaf Whittier, the gentle
Quaker poet, died at 4.50 o'clock this
morning. His death came as peace
fully as his life was spent. For some
days there had been no hope that the
anti-slavery singer could shake off the
hand of Death which all saw had been
laid upon him,
His physician, DR.. Douglass, and his
nearest relatives were at the bedside
when the final summons came at early
dawn to-day. The venerable poet was
conscious to the end, but was too weak
to speak.
Two days ago Whittier said to the
doctor:
ut is no use. I'm worn out"
The funeral will take place next Sat.
urday at Amesbury, Mass. at the house
of the dead patriot poet. The news of
Whittier's demise has cast a gloom es.
pecially over Haverhill, Mass, where
he used to live. The City Hall bell
was struck 81 times, once for each year
of his life. Flags on the public build.
ings and the school houses were low
! cred to half mast.

An improvement.

The pneumatic tire will not reach
the farm wagon, for it cannot stand
rough usage, but there would seem to
be no reason why the ball bearing
should not be applied to vehicles of
that class. The change would work a
great saving in horseflesh and in time,
it would make possible the hauling of
heavier loads.

Resigns.

Rev. A. j. Snyder, OF DeerfielG,
Resigns.
On Sunday last Rev. A. J. Snyder,
pastor of the Deerfield Presbyterian
Church, resigned his pastorate, to take
effect in few weeks. Ill health
caused the we'll known preacher to
take the step.
Rev. A. J. Snyder came to the Deer
field Presbyterian Church eight years
ago, from Christiana, DEL, where he
had been for four years. He soon
won the admiration and affection of
his congregation and the people of
Deerfield, and the church grew in nu-
merical and Christian strength, AS a
pastor, he was much beloved, and his
sermons were models of Christian hope
and grace. The resignation is re-
ceived with the most profound regret,
and the church feels the loss keenly.
Mr.. Snyder will come to Bridgeton
and take up his residence on Lake
street, in the pretty house he built
there some time since. He will make
his home here in the future, coming
to Bridgeton the first of November.

STILL THEY BUILD.
kingle e. Son to Adorn Newark
Avenue With a Fine
Structure.

Although the lofty five storied building
occupied by Jacob Ringle & Son, at No.
S3 Newark avenue, is already one of the
prominent about Jersey City's leading
thoroughfare. 1t Is to be doubled
in size, and new front to the
double structure is to be erected that will
give it an architecturally imposing ap-
pearance. The present structure Is but
25x100 feet In dimensions. With twenty
five foot front it rears itself away above
its surroundings. The firm has for
years been one OF the foremost
in the manufacture of metal cornlces and
other articles of architectural adornment
in this section of the country, and even
now Is engaged in manufacturing such
adornments for the METROPOLITAN Art
Museum Building in Central Park, New
York, ana the new Hebrew Orphan Asy-
lum building in Brooklyn. Over one
hundred men are employed by the firm,
The heavy machinery on the fourth
and fifth floors of the narrow building
continually shakes it to its foundations,
but 1t is the prosperity of the firm that
led it to think of doubling its capacity,
and at the same time strengthen the pres
ent structure.
The cost of the present venture is some
where in the neighborhood of $25. 900. The
| first and second floors of the new struc-
ture will be devoted to store room pur-
poses, and the upper three to the manu-
facture OF galvanized iron, copper and
other metal cornices and ornaments.
The frame building, recently known as
Foey's saloon, adjoining the Rlngle
building on the west, has already been
pulled down.

and laborious work of the stoke holes.
The officers had them locked up on board

the dock. and they brought the men to
the police station, where they now are,
and where they will be held to await the
sailing OF the ship. Then they will be
turned over TO the ships officers. The
men have not had any examination, and

nothing to do with it.
