A TERRIBLE FIRE.
Thousands of Acres Timber nd
Burned Over Last w Wednesday

Burned Over Last w Wednesday
Considerable excitement was caused
Wednesday about town, by the dense
volumes of smoke which arose from
the southeast, and was carried away
north of the city. 1t was soon realized
that terrible forest fire was raging,
and sensational reports were flying all
about as to what damage was being
done. At night the fl .mes lighted
up the sky and seemed to be burning
brightly.
1t Ia a difficult matter to learn the
full particulars of the ravages of the
FIRE, but the Cedarville CORES pondent
OF the PIONEER gives the mostI CON-
plete and thorough story of the fire.
The fire started near the Dividing
Creek station and was caused by a
spark from the locomotive cf a pass
ing train, which went along there in
the early part of the day. The wind
was gale and carried the IRE fl "cely
In a north-westerly direction. 1t
crossed the Cedarville and Millville
road about two and half or three
miles from Cedarville. 1t was more
than mile In width and seemed to be
feeding rapidly. At the point where
it started the timber was light, but as
the flames travelled the timber become
heavier and more valuable.
All through the neighborhood where
the fire was burning large crowd of
men was out fighting the flames, and
particularly strong were the efforts of
the men who were protecting their
homes, which seemed to be in the
path of the flames.
Mr.. John Banks, who lives ON the
main road near where the fire crossed,
narrowly escaped losing his buildings.
A big crowd of men were present to
assist him. A little further on Mr..
Monroe Peterson lives In one of Mr..
Dresk's houses on the Millville road,
and 1t is reported that his house
caught fire three times, but was saved
by hard work. 1t Is reported that
one house down below Cedarville was
burned down.
Mr.. Cook, living on what Is known
as the Glassope farm, just off Lummis'
mill, and In the track of the fire, had
a pretty hard fight with the fire. He
noticed that the fire was coming d.
rectly toward his property and he pro-
cured water and drenched his building
with 1t. He remained upon his barns
pouring water upon them until driven
off by the heat, but his buildings were
SO thoroughly.soaked that they were
not fired.
During the night the flames hurried
toward Gouldtown, crossing the Buck
shutum road, but has not reached the
6ouldtown settlement.
The fireiburned over some ten or
twelve miles of territory.
Thousands of dollars worth of tim
ber has been destroyed; just how
much Is impossible at this time to tell.
Three empty houses of Timothy El-
mer were destroyed. They are on the
Fairton and Centre Grove road. The
houses OF Holmes Pierce and Frank
Cuff were surrounded, but were not
touched.by the flames. 1000 cords of
cut wood belonging to Edward Starn
were burned, as was 40 or so cords be-
longing to John Murray. Holmes
Pierce's cedar swamp and the Blue
Bird swamp were burned.

Railways Hung mp Until the
supreme Court Decides the
Matters in Question.
The West Side and Bridgeton, Ce-
darvil!e and Port Norris Railways will
not be constructed for some time. The
opponents of this modern means of
transit 80 much sought after in other
cities has secured from Judge Reed,
three writs Of .certiorari and nothing
can be done now toward construction
until after the Supreme Court decides
the questions raised by Colonel Potter,
counsel for the opponents.
q. 1t will be remem oered that the areu-
ment was made cary In the week by
Col. Potter and Treasurer Bacon, az ID
Judge Reed took the papers, reeerving
his decision. On Saturday the Judge
granted three OF the four writs of GER.
tiorari asked for.
Two of the cases prepared by Col.
Potter interests every elec'ric railway
company H. he State, and ifthe Court
sustains the questions raised by the
learned counsel, the opponents of
rapid transit in this city, would have
the satisfaction of knocking out every
electric railway company in the state.
The first case Is that of David P.
Elmer, vs. The West Side Railway
Company. The question raised is
"whether the servitude of a railroad
by trolley system can be imposed on
the land of an abutting owner, with.
out his consent"
The second suit Is David P. Elmer
plaintiff, VS. the Board of Freeholders
of Cumberland County, and involves
the right of the Board to grant the
trolley company the right to cross over
the Commerce street bridge.
The third case is that of Jehial West
cott against the Bridgeton, Cedarville
and Port Norris Railway Company,
and involves the right to use electric
as a means of operating street cars.
According to the reports, the writ
asked for against the city was not
granted. The writs granted act as
supercedas until the questions are SET
| tied.
ALI the cases will be heard at the
next session of the Supreme Court,
next month, but when decision may
be expected Is beyond conf scture.
This would seem that none of these
contemplated improvements will be-
come reality this year. The pro-
posed liue to Cedarville which it was
hoped would be finished by July will
now be hung up indefinitely, and the
merchants of this city will be the
losers. The proposed accommoda-
tions over in the Third ward, and the
pleasure route to the Tumbling Dam,
will not be realized this year.
1t Is a great blow to the city, and
one that ninety per cent. of the peo-
pie most sincerely deplore. The Su.
preme Court is a very slow body, and if
the decisions In these cases are as long
soming as the Broad street bridge de.
cision was, the people will hear very
little more about street railway here
for year.
1t Is understood that the Company
will contest the questions raised
every point, and there are many prom
inent lawyers throughout the State,
who believe that the Court will decide
against the plaintiffs, The general
sentiment about town seems to be
that the Companies will not be beaten,
but the interminable delay is deplored.

Refused the Money.

The following odd incident is relat-
ed of Conductor Mckinney, who was
employed many years ago upon a
Southern railroad:
One night in leaving Washington
the conductor went as usual through
the train to collect the fares. In one
of the rear cars a passenger without a
ticket handed him bill. The con-
ductor took it, glanced at it hastily
and, seeing that it was Of a large de-
nomination, put it in his pocket, as
conductors are apt to do, and Informed
the passenger that he would return
with the change.
The purpose of the delay was, of
course, to afford the conductor an OPP
portunity to examine the bill ut his
leisure in the baggage car to see if it
was alright. When Mr.. Mckinney
reached the baggage car and inspected
the note he found to his astonishment
that what he had taken for $l0O
bill was note for 81, 600.
OF course the changing Of bill OF
such a denomination was out of the
question. The conductor therefore
passed back through the train to re-
fund the money and obtain smaller
bill. When he reached the car the
passenger had shifted his seat. Going
up to him, the conductor said that
there was probably a mistake, as the
note given by him was for 81 900.
To his utter amazement the passen-
ger disclaimed all knowledge Of the
bill. He had given ticket, he said,
and his seat-mate confirmed the state
ment. The conductor expostulated
but the man was firm and could not be
prevailed upon to accept the money.
Finally the conductor gave up in de-
spair, not knowing whether he orthe
passenger was crazy, but inclined to
the latter belief. At station or two
from Washington the passenger and
his companion left the train and has
tily disappeared. The next day Mr..
Mckinney handed in the bill to the
company Office with an explanation.
The money was deposited on q spe'
cial account and the railroad officials
awaited the coming of claimant
Year after year passed, however, and
no one ever turned up for the money
| which in the meanwhile was steadily
| adding interest. Finally when Mr.
Mckinney retired from the service oi
the company the officials gave him the
proceeds of the bill, which at interest
| then amounted to nearly $4,000.
No explanation was ever youchsafee
Of the odd occurrence. The theory
generally credited by the conductor
and the railroad officials, however
was that the bill was given by mistake
by some burglar, who upon discover
ing his error decided that it was safe
to repudiate the transaction than t.
acknowledge the ownership of tn
money, the large amount of which n
thought might render the conducto
suspicious and lead to his arrest

They are in reality sun worshipers,
but make small images out Of clay
with faces supposed to represent the
sun, although bearing little if any
resemblance to it. They do not asso-

rarely seen by white men. The idols
have large, round bodies and heads,
with eyes and mouth and ears, beams
radiating from the eyes over the face.
