Two Offenders There ON Sunday
Morning.

Two offenders were before May or
Dubois on Sunday morning. One was
a young man named William Whita-
ker, who pleaded guilty to being un.
der the Influence of liquor on Satur-
day night. After listening to short
temperance lecture from the Mayer,
the young man paid $3.1O foe and
costs.
Saturday night there was something
of street fight which caused consider
aole excitement and Officer Woodruff
arrested young man by the name of
Albert Terry, as on of the participants.
The Mayor charged the young man
with that soft impeachment Sunday
morning, but ne denied being in the
scrap. He said that he was an on
locker, but he did not even know the
names of the participants. The Mayo
arranged for an inquiry into the case
to take effect this afternoon, and held
the young man in his own recognizance
for his appearance.

One of the most pleasant occasions
In this vicinity Monday, was the
Christmss visit of committee of
Oriental Lodge. No. s, 1. o. M, tc.
gether with some of the friends of tt
committee, to the Aims House.
The committee was Past Councillor
Theo. B. Woodruff, Walter Sharp,
Louis Vannamau, George Benner and
David Trexler.
The occasion was brought about by
a recent resolution of the organization
in which it was ordered that Christ
mas gift should be given each inmate
of the Aims House. The commit ee
were met more than courteously by
Steward Ogden and escorted through
the big house, and each inmate was
presented with quantity of candies,
grapes, bananas, etc., Tightening the
heart of every one of the poor unfor-
tunates in the institution.
The committee were more than
pleased with the visit they made and
were gratified that they could make a
day little brighter owing to the
Christian festivities laid down all the
generations since the star rested over
Bethlehem.
The day wss more than pleasantly
spent by The members of the stewards
family. A Christmas tree pleased the
children, and big dinner pleased
every body. In the afternoon there
was glass ball shooting match be.

match was for fun alone, but all par,

THE SUSPECTED MURDERER.
He Declares He Is Innocent, Eats
HIS Meals Regularly and
sleeps Well at Night. All Vas
lting StODDe0.

Louis Feighl, the German suspected
of the foul murder of Christian Hiss,
over in Vineland, is quietly resting in
the County Jail, under the supervision
of the Sheriff.
He is in Cell No. 1, of the Boys Cor
rtdor, all day, securely locked up, and
no one Is allowed to see him. He spent
Thursday very quietly, and seems to
be model prisoner. he makes no
fuss. although at times he appears to
be quite nervous.
Thursday afternoon the Sheriff
went into the jail and stripped him,
making most careful search of his
clothing. He found nothing but
few papers, one German paper. The
pockets of Feighl's coat was filed with
twigs and little bits of leaves, which
indicated that the fellow had been
lying about the woods a good deal.
Nothing of a suspicious nature was
found about the man.
DuEing the day Feighl talked to the
turnkey. He said he was Innocent of
the crime, out did not seem sure that
he conld make a defence that would
impress a jury. He said that Fischer.
who Identifies him, had made very
serious mistake when he said that
Feighl was the man he had seen upon
that awful night.
Feighl told of his release from the
prison in Philadelphia. He acknowl.
edged that he had been very bad
man, but he declared that when be
came from the Eastern Penitentiary
he had fully resolved to reform and
become better man, and since he had
been free man he had committed no
crime.
Thursday night at o'clock, Feighl
was taken from the cell In the boys
corridor, and removed to the east side
of the Jail where he was lock ed up for
the night in steel dungeon. There
he remained all night, and said that
he slept we'll. He ate his dinner yes.

night took his full share of supper.
He said nothing about his defense.

Am Attempt TO Wreck u Trolley
Car.

Especial to PIoNEER.)
MILLvILLE, Dec. 81 An attempt
was made last evening to wreck the
Millville trolley Car and if the scheme
had ssuct eeded would have caused the
loss of many lives The car which
leaves Millville at As p. m. met with
obstacles on the rails 10 the shape of
cord wood. These the car succeeded
In throwing { If all right, but even this
Is dangerous thing to do. The car
which leaves Bridgeton at 8 SOD. m,
started with about six passengers,
among them were City Solicitor II. O.
Newcomb and wife, Mr.. A. R. Rocap,
manager of the Academy of Music, and
one or two other gentlemen of this city.
The car run along smoothly until
a mile east of Gouldtown. Not far dis.
tant from where Fred Gould was
struck, the car stopped with a bump
that nearly threw it off the track and
must have injured the bearings of the
front wheels. Upon investigation it
was found that the car had struck a
tree which had been placed directly
across the rails. Those who have
watched the workmen when they laid
the tracks, noticed that whenever two
rails came together they were joined
by a wire which is used to carry or
transmit the current from one rail to
the other. This wire had been pulled
up and the tree thrust under it. This
held the trunk of the tree firmly and
the car could not threw it off the track.
When the car struck the tree it threw
the headlight about fifteen feet ahead
In ditch.
Mr.. Fred Yieter, passenger on the
car, succeeded in finding this, but 1t
was so battered up as to be almost
useless. Upon going on, another tree
trunk was found laying across the
track, and SO on till six trunks had
been removed. The trees were all
fastened In the same manner, and it
was clear that one man could not have
done 1t. After all the trees had been
removed quantities of bushes were
discovered placed On the track.
City Solicitor Newcomb walked
ahead of the car, and with the assist
ance of others succeeded in removing
all the debris from the track. The car
then proceeded to Millville without
further incident.

Held for Theft.

About two weeks ago Dr.. Tremaine.

Moorehead's house to treat sick

schaum pipe, valued at ten dollars, was
taken from his overcoat pocket. Mr..
Moorhead heard of 1t and suspected q
young man named William Mullen, of
taking it. Mullen has been working
for farmer named Perry, who lives
near by. This morning Mr.. Moore
head visited Perry's home and the pipe
was found In Mulleh's pocket. He de-
med stealing it and this made Mr..
Moorehead indignant and he promptly
collared Mullen and brought him 20

head of the line, and the order was
given to march. 1t was a big line,
and the handsome silk flags and bea uti-
full banners made an uprising sight.
The boys marched over a pretty
generous route, consuming about an
hours time, and after countermarch-
ing on Commerce street, marched di.
rectly to the handsome new school
building.
And there the crush was simply i'm
mense. Thousands of people were
gathered about the handsome struc
ture, and everybody was in the best of
humor. The big i'on gates were
thrown open and the marching hosts
passed into the yard, and formed a
circle about the big flag staff.
Then the crowds surged in and the
big yard was completely crowded. Up
on the high stone steps of the school
building were standing Rev. J F
Heilenman, of Hope Council, and I.
T. Nichols, of the Board of Education.
At the topmost peak of the IF, was
the new flag all furled into a small
three cornered knot.
Rev. Heilenman stepped forw ard
and made the speech of present alton
upon behalf of the Councils. II was
short, to the point, and fl!ed with
pointed epigrams, Patriotic were his
words and several times his voice YVES
drowned In the volumes of cheers and
hand clapping. Mr.. Nichols received
the flags in few words, and the Band
played the Star Spangled Banner.
Hardly had the first few bars sounded
upon the air wnen the beautiful fl 4g
was unfurled and from its folds fell a
perfect cloud of small flags, and they
fluttered downward. The people were
cheering end every body had a hand
