TONGUED FIRE.
Natures Beautiful and Artistic
uHnS&.

As the after-glow of the sunset fade d
10 the Southwestern heavens Saturday
evening, glorious rival of the tints OF
dying day, unfoied it's cleaning ban-
ners in the Northwest aud North, and
Bridgeton was treated to one of the
most gorgeous displays of Aurora
Borealis, or Northern Lights" seen in
a decade
The display was at its height about
seven O'Clock, and lasted until half
past seven, but the rising clouds and
the increasing moonlight dimmed ir,
and 10 short time it faded way; but
those who saw it will never forget the
sight.
At its brightest period the whole
Northwest was Lit up as it were with a
brilliantly wavering crimson cloud,
through which shot streamers of a
paler color, rose pink, sea 81 ell and all
the delicate tints of the cameo, even
to an occasional ribbon of clear white.
The great mass of color and the stream
ers at times reached the zenith, and
the constellation of Cassiopeia was
now and then licked by the heavenly
flames toward the North and North
east the lights were fainter in tone
but well-defined arc of color sketched
from the Northwest to Northeast, com
posed as it were of great tongues of
light. These stretched up to the Polar
Star and covered with their ruddy
mist the Great Bear. TIC add TO the
beauty OF the scene some filmy GIRO
stratus clouds foated through the
Northern sky aud seemed to be lit up
by the gleam of some strange sunset
in which the rival sun had set in the
North. g
To add to the beauty of the scene
the full moon lit up the Eastern sky
with q superb greenish golden glow,
In strong contrast to the vivid flame
tints that hung like some curtain of
fairyland to the North. 1t was the
curtain to the fairyland of magnetism
and tiao strange realm of electricity.
So bright WIS the sky that many
thought it was fire, and one or two
were about ready to turn in an alarm
when the lights began to fade.
In high attitudes the appearance of
aurora borealis is not an unusual oc-
currence, but in this latitute the phe-
nomenon is very rare.
Eight years ago there was a similar
manifestation noticed in this city. 1t

The Mechanics Lien Law.

PATERSON, N. j., Feb. 12.-The New
Jersey Lien Law of 1890, passed at the
instance OF the materialmen, and
which the building and loan associ-
ations and others have tried in vain to
get the Legislature to change, has
found g new opponent.
Ia case just decided in Passaic,
Judge Dixon, of the Supreme Court OF
the state has granted non suit on
the ground that the amendment of
1890 is detective in its attempt to cover
too much ground. the Judge refusing
to admit that all persons who con-
tributed to the erection of building
are lien claimants, anu inclining to the
opinion that the contractor alone has
a right to lien, and that when he
gives d release, this release covers the
entire work. The case has been ap
pealed.

COUR rs SPECIAL SESSION.
Orphan Court aud other Matters
Before Judges HOagIand ana
HenAee.

The rule to show cause why new
trial should not be granted to Addison
Smith and Peter Williams, convicted
of illegal dredging at the January
term, was returnable Monday, at the
special session of Court that had been
previously arranged. James ]. Reeves,
counsel for the defendants addressed
the court. He said that while the
case was open to good deal of doubt
as to the guilt of the defendants, still
it had been concluded that new
trial should not be asked for, and the
prisoners would present themselves
for sentences.
William Barber was brought in from
jail and pleaded guilty to stealing a
pair of pants valued at $3.50.
Ed: p. saunderlain pleaded guilty to
the, theft of some corn. Both were
taken back to jail to await sentence.
The next matter to attract the atten-
tion of the court was the matter of ex;
eeptions to the accounts of John Fra
linger, administrator of Anthony Fra
linger deceased. T. W. Trenchard
was counsel for the exceptants, and J.
L. Van Syckle for the administrator.
In this case Mrs. Paul Schaffer is the
exceptant, she being the daughter of
the late Antho hony Fralinger. There is,
she claims, a considerable amount of
money due her from the estate of her
father, which Mr.. Fralinger, the ad-
ministrator, refuses to pay her. Her
story is that Mr.. Fralinger has paid
all this money to her step-father, to
cheat her out of it because she left the
Catholic church, and became Pro.
testtn5.
On cross-examination Mr.. VanSyekle
asked Mrs. Schaffer if she had not re.
ceived $3.50 from her step-father. She
answered that she received $3.50 for
purpose of going to the Sisters of
Charity Convent, but she did not stay
and $13S was paid back.
Mr.. Fralinger's defense was simply
that he had administrated the estate
honestly and properly. He had col
lected every cent he could aud had
paid every thing over to the widow Of
Anthony Fraliuger and held receipts
for the same,
Toe case was argued by he Counsel
and the Court held the matter under
advisement.

that last June a peculiar formetion

CHURCH CENTENNIAL.
Preliminary Meeting Soon to be
Held.

1t having been announced from the
pulpit, on Sunday, thai there would
be hald on Wednesday evening week,
at the Second Presbyterian Church, of
this city, a preliminary meeting in re-
gard to the proposed centennial of the
old Presbyterian church, on Broad
street. reminds us of the fact that this
year also dates the laying of the cor.
ner stooe on the same street and not
far from the church, of the the well
known mansion known as the Giles
house. Judge Elmer in his Reminis-
censes of New Jersey, in sketch of
General Giles, says 'Iu 1898 he built
for his own occupation good house.
which for many years was, with
its ornamental grounds and furniture.
the best residence in the place.
This may be correct in the sense that
the building was completed that year,
but that it was contracted for and be-
gun in 1892 is established by the re-
ceipts of bills OF that date, which are
yet preserved, and in the possession OF
one of our townsmen. The brick man.
sion at the northwest corner of Frank
lin and Broad streets, belonging to
the estate of the late r. ]. Fihian,
was erected in 1891, by Col. David Pot
ter, and in which he died in 1875.
There are several houses in good
preservation standing on the same
street, considerably upwards cf cen,
tury old, notably the brick building,
known as the Elmec house, occupied
by Mrs. Paulding. aud also the ole
frame dwelling now occupied by the
Misses More on the Elmer property
which, by date on the chimney, wa!

rently reported, directly after the trial
that the Jury had given her fifteen

the other serious matters concerning

to the young lady, and she is now at
her home in Monroeville. She has be-
come very morose, speaking to no one
nor noticing anything about her. Her

SUNDAY EXCITEMENT.
EEsa EA~e Alarm &frreE Sunday
Afternoon.


| About half past four o'clock Sun
day afternoon,a as the people were going
| home from Sunday School an alarm of
fire was struck. The FIRST alarm was
given over at the Court House indicat-
log that the fire was on that side of
the river. Tae alarm was Instantly
taken up at the Washington street en-
gine house
Ii was quickly learned the fire was
at the iron foundry of Cox s. Son,
Water street. and the fire department
responded remarkably G=ie,, the Third
ward boys having heir apparatus
there and hose attached to q plug, be-
fore most people learned where the
fire was located. The engine was very
soon ready for action, but its services
were not called in play.
1t was about four o'clock when
Christian E. Kreuter was standing on
Atlantic street that his attention was
attracted by dense clouds of smoke
pouring from the windows and roof of
the foundry. He felt sure there was
fire there, and he notified W. Frank
Cox, one of the firm who lives nearby,
Both wenG iInnciiatei - - ~
and discovered fire in the core furnace
room. A line of hose belonging to the
firm was quickly brought in play, and
the fire was extinguished at about the
same time the department. responded.
Ed. Rics msnned the hose. aue he felt
particularly Interested - 81 11ii-:P yca--d
of which he is part owner, is vsry near.
After the arrival of the fresnen they
took charge of the branch pipe and
finished the work.
The origin of the fire was probably
the overhead ing and firing Of & pile of
wood piled close beside theco fur
mace to dry that it might be used for
to start the fire in the cupalo Monday
morning. The fire ran up the wooden
sides of the SIZED and in the roof.
1t is very fortunate the flames were
so soon discovered as t''e ea ranld
have been very gre. d4j5ts
got under any he .dv'e tt 1ould
not have taken long fol the f. mes to
have eaten into the patSern room
where everything is coa,f rs - hle and

over toward the ship yard, terrible
conf 4gration would have ensued.

WILL Move Here.

Hon. I. M. Smalley, Director of the
Board of Freeholders, fully intends TO
take up his residence in this city
next month. He expressed himself to
gentlemen of the Board on Wednesday
last, that he did not presume that he
would preside at any more meetings of
the Board. The Township Committee
will likely appoint a Freebolder from
Stoe Creek to fill the unexpired term.
Mr.. Smalley's term as Freeholder, ends
this spring any way.

BOARD OF EREEHOLDERs.
Seven New Memb ers GO be Elected
this spring.


This spring there will be q great bat
tie on the Freeholder question. There
is good deal of politits in the cam
paign this spring, and the Republicans
have united for the purpose of making
the Board Republican once more.
For twenty-five years tho Board of
Freeholders was Republican-that is,
the Board had Republican mejority
of membership. Politics ware never
considered; some of the best offices ia
the gift of the Board were given to.
Democrats without dissentieg voice.
Two years since the Democrats laid a
deep scheme to hoodwink the people,
and have Dem ocratic Board of Free
holders. By the aid of so called union
caucuses in the different townships,
Democrats were elected and q majori.
ty of that party WAS sworn in at the
annual meeting. The entire members
of Republican office holders were
thrown ont, and from Director to
bridge tender, Democrats were chosen
by strictly partisan vote. Last year
1t was the same.
At present the Board of Freeholders
is twelve Democratic and seven Re-
publicans. This spring there are sew
en- Ere eholders to be elected. Those
who retire are William J. Moore, 1st
ward, aud Chas. a. Pierson. 2d. ward,
B idgeton. Edward L. Heatop, 1st.
ward, and John P. Richards, 3 4. ward,
Millville. Gibson G. A11.ows, Gem
| mercial; Geo. P. OFT, Hopewell; 1. M.
Smalley, Soc Greek.
There is every opportunity just now
for the Republicans; fully united, to
! via in every ward aud township, ex-
cepting perhaps the Third ward OF
MiIlville, which is solidly Democratic.
Tha candidates named in the various
wards aud townships by the Republi-
cans are strong men and can be elected.
