A BROKEN HEART.
$4,000 Damages wanted by a Big
JeWess,

Miss Dora Cotton, dark-eyed Jew
ess, at the settlement OF Alliance, a
few miles west Of Vineland, is the la
test victim of man's inconsistency.
she sends up plaintive wall in the
shape of an action at law, begun In
the Common Pleas Court, PhilaaeL
phia, against her alleged deceiver In
an effort to secure substantial balm
for her wounded heart in money dam
ages. Dora was sweet sixteen just two
years ago. she says Chas. Reis, of
Phfla, Is the man who damaged her
prospects to the extent Of 5000.
Miss Cotton, who sues through her
next friend, Abraham Shopotosky,
says that she met Refs in Alliance,
Salem county where her father lives,
and their acquaintance coon ripened
into love.
1t was on the 221 of last September,
she says, that In response to Charles
ardent appeals she became his
promised bride, receiving a gold ring
as an earnestness of his good faith.
Many other gifts followed, and a
tender correspondence was carried on
between them, In the course Of which
Refs frequently reiterated his desire to
become Dora's husband. Suddenly,
however about the middle of Febru-
arY, the correspondence ceased, Refs
ignored his whilom sweetheart, and
when an explanation was demanded
he refused to give any further than
the statement that he didn't intend to
marry her.
Dora says she has always been
"pure in conduct and unsullied In re-
putation," and concludes with the
statement that although she gave up
her employment at Reis' request, 'her
feelings and sensibilities have been
outraged beyond all pecuniary stand
ard, and her damages would be equal
to, if they did not exceed the sum of
$5OO0."
A capias was issued for the arrest of
Refs. ~.

DEAD I'm BED.
Sudden Death OF a Respected
Citizen of Greenwich Some
Time Friday Night.

SuUUeM DeaIn OF q Respected
Citizen of Greenwich Some
Time Friday Night.
Fouad dead in bed. Ushered into
eternity at time unknown, and death
ensuing without the knowledge of a
living soul.
Such was the demise of Alonzo
Holmes, an elderly and respected citi-
| zen of Greenwich.
Mr.. Holmes was a man, nearly, il
not quite seventy years of age. He
has been widower for many years,
his home being made at the residence
of John Holmes, an emplyee of the
Central railroad, and son of the de.
ceased, at Greenwich.
While Mr.. Holmes has not been
strong for years, still his genera
health has been about the same for
some time, and Friday he was feel.
ing quite as well as usual. He ate his
supper with the family, and was evil
IDENTIFY in the best of spirits. Retiring
early, as was his custom, no further
attention was paid to him by the fam
lily, and nothing was heard during the
night that Indicated any illness upon
the part of Mr.. Holmes.
Saturday morning the family arose a 8
usual, but Mr.. Holmes did not put in
an appearance for breakfast. He was
sent for when the awful discovery
was made that death had claimed him.
From his appearance he had died
without struggle and 1t is probable
that heart disease was the cause.
Coroner Bellows was notified, and In
company with County Physician
Thompson and PIONEER reporter,
visited the house for the purpose of
viewing the body.

PLENTY OF ORDERS.
The Acme Gas Fixture Company
Will be Busy.

While this is the dull season for the
manufacture of gas fixtures, still the
| Acme Gas Fixture Manufacturing
Company is keeping Its entire number
of employees busy, and there is little
prospect that any will be laid off
A trip through this building is de-
lightfully interesting. From base
ment to third story, busy workmen
are engaged in turning out the vari-
GUS parts of the beautiful chandeliers.
1t Is only for lack of space that the
entire business Is not fully written up
in these columns, but 1t would take
much valuable room in the PIONEER
The company manufacture nearly
everything that enters into the con-
struction Of the beautiful fixtures.
All the work done there is from orig
inal designs and drawings. Thousands
| and thousands of dollars worth of
this work are turned out every year,
and the business is constantly increas-
ing. Some very elaborate fixtures
have recently been made and put In
fine buildings.
As soon as the building season is
open it is expected that the company
will be deluged with new orders. At
present the workmen are turning out
the fixtures for the public schools of
| Philadelphia.
Mr.. Wallace Rice, manager of the
works, said yesterday that the COM
pany was about getting out a very
elaborate catalogue. These catalogues
have been asked for by parties in Ire
land, Honolulu, China, and many
other foreign countries, as well as
here in this country.
The company has just completed
the fixtures for the new West Jersey
passenger station, on South Pearl
street, and the Pennsylvania railroad
company, has promised to make sew
eral very important contracts with the
| firm.
The business is firmly established
here. and it will go on and on until it
becomes one of the leading Industries
in this section of the country.

The South Jersey Institute Base
Ball Club will soon organize and be-
gin active practice. Thus far only a
manager has been selected, Mr.. Evans.
The team will then be chosen from the
school and the players will select their
own captain. The team may play
several games soon, for they have re-
ceived number of challenges. There
is prospects of series of games be-
tween the teams of the Institute and
the West Jersey Academy. Such
games would prove highly interesting.

mel. ..
Sunday afternoon great clouds Of
smoke off to the east ward Of this city
showed that the forest fires had again
broken out about Carmel. ...-.
The wind was very high, blowing
from west of north, and the flames
were carried sweeping through the
woods toward the turnpike and Mill
vile. The people of west Millville be
came very much excited as the smoke
1oated over that quarter of the city,
and large numbers turned out to fight
against the fire.
The flames swept from the vicinity of
Carmal to the very edge of west Mill
vile; in their course they enveloped
the cabin of man named Loper, con-
sumed 1t and burnt his dog to death, it
being in the cabin.
Hundreds of cords of wood were de-
stroyed, besides thousands of CORDS of
growing timber.
Forest fires are becoming a great
annoyance In this section of the
country. M
1t does seem as If there might to be
some means of preventing such disas-
ferrous outbreaks, or that somebody
ought to be made responsible for the
damages done.

FRANCIS REEVES LECTURE.
Graphic Description of his Trip
to Russia, as q Famine Re.
lief Commissioner.


Mr.. Francis B. Reeves delivered 6
lecture in the Central NJ. E. Church
Thursday night, In behalf of the Y. NJ
9. A. on his visit to Russia as Commits
sioner of the Famine Relief Fund, from
this country.
The audience was fair one, but the
very excellent lecture had one fault, II
was toe short. One could sit and
listen for hours to the graphic descrip.
tion Mr.. Reeves gave of his observa,
tions and experiences in the land oi
Gear.
1t Is impossible to go into q detail OF
what he said, for he said &c much In
such an interesting way that it must
have been heard to be appreciated.
He landed at Rega on the Baltic
only twelve hours in advance of the
steamship ''Conemaugh" the second
ship to carry supplies to the famine
stricken country, the Indiana" being
the first.
AAo eAOA LOU all cApeEleDco WulCU,
from his description was filed with
both dark shadows and bright silver
lined clouds.
He met with roysl receptions, visited
the palaces of the mobiles, and the huts
of the peasants.
Among the most interesting person
ages met and visited, was the eccen-
trio nobleman, novelist and philan-
thropist, Count Tolstoi.
In the two room novels of the peas
antry lived from five to forty human
beings, besides animals. In one house
he visited, he found 40 inmates dwell
ing and three COVE, besides the poul-
try and pet wolf.
The ignorance of the peasantry is
dense, and to this, as much as to any
thing, is to be attributed the suffer.
ings of the famine.
The lecture should have had been
heard by every intelligent person In
the city.

black suit. The casket had on either
side oxydized silver extension handles,
with oxydized silver name plate upon
the top.
Rev. John 8. Heisler, pastor of Gen.
trail M. E. Church conducted the
solmen services, and most impressicnly
did he recall the rich life of him who
had entered into another life. Revs.
John Handley and Henry w. Williams,
former pastors, assisted in the services.
The interment was at the Broad
Street Cemetery. The pail bearers
were officers of Central M. E. Church,

CHAPEL OF THE PYx.
An Cndeubted Relic of the Architecture
OF Edward the Confessor.

An Cndoubted Relic of the Architect urs
Of Edward the Confessor.
In modern times what little is left Of
the majesty of the place is more jeal-
ously guarded from the intrusion of tho
profane. Visitors 70 the abbey West
minster) are not admitted to the Pyx
chapel, which is now, indeed, rarely
opened. except for official purposes It
is situated in the eastern cloister, south
of the entrance to the chapter house.
The extreme care with which it has al
ways been protected is shown by the
provision of heavy double doors, solid
and iron bound. These are opened by
six large keys, which used to be kept
by the chancellor of the exchequer and
two other high Off GERS of the state.
Formerly these functionaries had all
to be present together with their re-
spective keys when the chamber was
unlocked. Even now it is no easy
matter to secure a peep at the
interior, official permission hav-
ing to be obtained. Although
called chapel there is no trace of it's
having been used as such. II is really Y
a vault, and SO dark that nothing can
be seen without the aid of candles. In
one corner are the remains of what
some authorities declare TO be the tom b
of Hugolin, the confessor's chamber
lain. whose strict guardianship of the
royal treasure kept even his royal mas
ter in awe. He was the great proto-
type of the English chaneellors of the
exchequer. The early Norman pillar
in the center of the chamber and some
antique features of the roof illustrate
the claim of this mysterious cham Der
to be the one undoubted relic of Ed
ward the Coufessor's architecture The
early coins Of the Norman period were
kept, If not also made, in the Pvx
chapel The ancient punches used in
those by-gone centuries for stamping
the coins are still preserved, and until
recently the vessel for melting
the bullion was also kept here;
but /; has now been re-
moved 70 the mint Early in the
century, the place had rather the ap-
pearance OF q lun Der cell. but il is now
kept il good order. Thousands OF man
uscripts connected with the abbey were
discovered imbedded in the rubbish
with which the floor was piled Up.
These are now in safe custody. The
