A DOUBLE FUNERAL.

Two Aged Maiden Sisters Buried
Together. The Roadstown
Double Funeral.
Elizabeth and Sarah Broadway could
not live without each other.
The one lived to the great age of 81
years and the other reached So; their
long lives had been spent together at
the old home stead just beyond Roads,
town. Elizabeth was the oldest of the
family, and Sarah was the youngest.
Sarah had been many years an invalid
and Elizabeth, the elder, almost a
mother to her, had watched over her
with loving care, nurtured and kept
her through her long years of suffer
ing.
With the two sisters lived the two
brothers, Edward and Jacob these
four were unmarried they lived for
each other only. Another brother
Jonathan Bradway, lives in Manning.
ton, Salem county, where he owns a
farm.
they belonged to the Society of
Friends, and the quiet and even tenor
OF their peaceful lives may we'll be inn
agined.
To attend to their large farm, look
after the welfare of each other and at
tend the meetings made up the sum
of their daily existance, with the ex.
ceptions that kindly and friendly in
terest was manifested In the affairs of
their neighbors, and helping hand
was always open to aid the needy and
relieve the suffering.
On Friday last Elizabeth, the Oldest
sister died, worn out with the years of
her pilgrimage. Seemingly unable to
bear the separation, the afflicted
younger sister, less thaa "a hours after
folded her hands and, on Saturday,
followed her loving protector into he
great beyond.
Their funeral took place from the
old family residence Monday, and
though 1t was private, the roads were
lined with the carriages of their neigh.
bors and friends, and the throng In
attendance was Immense.
Three sermons were preached by
members ofthe Society, one by Friend
Brooke, of Salem; one by Friend Joel
Borten, OF Woodstown. and one by
Friend Sharp, of Camden.
Two hearses were used for the re-
mains and the interment was In the
Friends cemetery at Harmersville.

BADLY JANIMED.

Caught Between a Car and
EaveS of the Passenger De-
pot.
Geo. A. Collins, carpenter living at
287 Irving avenue, had q very close
call on Monday and it was by the
merest chance that he was not killed,
He was at the Central station on
Cohansey street, and climbed upon
freight car for some purpose.
Before he reached the top of the car
the trained started, and he was
crushed between the car and the
caves of the passenger station.
The train men happened to see him
just as the train started, and signaled
the engineer to stop, which he did.
Had the train gone half car length
further the man would have been
crushed to death; as 1t was he was
pretty badly jammed and bruised, and
it Is feared he Is hurt through the
chest. He was taken to his home and
doctor Thompson was summond.

The funeral took place yesterday

NARROW ESCAPE.
Stageman Thomas Robbins EX-
perience.

Stageman Thomas Robbins Ex-
perience.
The genial and popular stage driver,
Thomas Robbins, of Mauricetown,
had an experience one night this week
that he will never forget.
The road from Mauricetown to the
West Jersey railroad depot, is in an
awful condition, and almost at all
times is under water. In fact as is often
said down In that locality, there Is a
$50.0O0 bridge there which is approach.
ed by fifty cent road. Much of the
time the road Is impossible.
On the night In question, Mr.. Rob-
bins was returning from the station to
Mauricetown. The night was very
dark and the road covered with water,
and In consequence 1t was difficult to
guide the horses. Finally, mistake
was made, and Mr.. Robbins found this
stage and horses down In ditch In
which was considerable water, and
himself In position from which 1t was
almost impossible to e1tricats himself.
For time 1t seemed as If the GENTLE
man would surely drown. He called
for help and was fortunately heard by
some boys, who ran to his assistance,
and, after considerable difficulty, Mr..
Robbins was rescued from his perilous
position.
Something should be done with this
road. Maurice River township claims
to be too poor to repair the road, and
there is movement on foot to petit
ton the county to take charge of 1t.
Something should be accomplished,
This great expensive bridge is practi-
cally useless under the circumstances,
and lives are endangered as the road
remains at present. Whatever is to be
done should be accomplished quickly.

END OF THE COURSE.
A Popular Course of Superb
Entertainments.


When the ladies of the Y. M. O. A.
Auxiliary assumed the management of
the enter tainment course they were
met with all manner of discourage
ments. The previous courses had not
been highly successful, but the ladies
took hold OF the matter, and after
giving most popular course Of enter
tainments. have met with the success
they SO richly deserve,
| Almost all the entertainments have
more than met their expectations, and
Wednesday the most superb entertain
ment was given, the popular Leland
7. Powers presenting the legitimate
comedy "The Rivals"
This play is one of the Oldest of
theatrical attractions. 1t brought
Richard B. Sheridan In popular
favor In the Convent Garden Theatre,
London, away back on the 18th q
January, 1775, when the comedy was
first produced. Since then 1t has be-
come standard production, well
known as any of the ShakespearIan ef-
forts. 1t Is one of the most successful
of the attractions produced by the
famous Drew family, and Joe Jeffer-
son has worldwide reputation for
his impersonation of Bob Acres.
1t seems incredible that Mr.. Powers
can successfully initiate and create the
various characters of the dramatic
person0, but he does 1t, and In such q
manner that the Imagination can be-
hold the various characters as they
are made to appear. His facial ex-
pressions are peculiarly wonderful,
being complete transformation
while his superb acting stamps him as
an artist.
Powers is too we'll known here to
need extended introduction, and ''The
Rivals" is understood by almost every
reader. The monologue was the most
successful and interesting that Mr..
Powers has yet given in this city, and
the audience was keen to show the dc
! light and pleasure enjoyed.
Of the characters OF the comedy, MIR.
Powers impersonated these:-Sir An
thony Absolute, Captain Absolute, Bob
Acres, Sir Lucius O'Trigger, Dave, the
Servant, Mrs. Malaprop and Lydia
Languish.
After the production of this excellent
comedy, Mr.. Powers very kindly gave
a very clever reverie of lover. which
was most uproariously received.
One of the lady managers said this
morning that the Course would pro-
badly clear the Auxiliary about $3.50.

DIED FROM HEMORRHAGE,

MIR. Joseph Harris, of Jericho,
Suddenly Expired Friday
Night.
Joseph Harris, one of the Oldest
residents of Jericho, died suddenly at
his home Friday night from internal
hemorrhage caused by an abscess. Mr..
Harris, several years ago, while carting
logs injured himself internally by which
abscesses were produced, but no con.
tinued in fair health, although some
times attacked with severe spells of
painful suffering. On Friday evening
he was more than usually cheerful,
but was suddenly seized with internal
bleeding, the blood gushing from his
mouth and nose.
He was attended by DIR. Sharp, but
the medical assistance was Of no avail
and Mr.. Harris expired In about an
hour after being first stricken.
Mr.. Harris was about 76 years old;
he left two SONS, Leonard and Edward,
and one daughter, Mrs. Samuel FIana-
gan, of Greenwich.

Is This a FOre-Runner of an
Attempt to Strengthen Labor
Unions in This Locality?
Millville had big labor demonstra.
tion Friday night, the big Opera House
being crowded to hear the speakers
who were invited there for the oc-
casiop.
The meeting had been advertised
widely, and there had been a great
interest manifested. Last night the
hall was crowded and the people were
very enthusia. tic. A band of music
furnished popular airs, enlivening the
occasion considerably.
The meeting was presided over by
President Joseph Troth, of the United
Green Glassworkers' Associa tton, and
the principal speakers of the evening
were ex-President Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, and P.
J. Mcclure, Vice. President of the same
Association.
| The addresses were general rather
than specific, the tenor being in favor
of union labor. Labor organizations
were held to be essential to the pros.
perity of the toiler, and through them
only could labor obtain It's share from
the capital of the country, all of which
was In organizations and trusts.
From sources of which 1t would
seem reliable information might come,
it Is learned that this meeting was the
fore-runner of an active work upon
the part of union organizers to make
a more elaborate showing in this
county.
Over In Vineland the principal in
dustry Is the manufacture of shoes,
and large number of hands are en-
ployed. 1t Is alleged that already
there have been several secret meet.
ings In the interest of unionizlng the
shoe makers, and it Is further claimed
that considerable advance and pro.
gress has been made,
| 1t is also limited that an effort will
be made to unionize the green glass
workers of this city. At present there
are but few of the many hollow.ware
blowers In the union, and while there
have been several attempts to make
the men join the Association. the
matter has always proved failure,
and there are more non-union glass
workers here now than ever before.
The Association feels that one more
effort shall be made to unionize these
factories. 1t Is said further that all
overtures made will G. .Jeaceful, apd
there will be no str.Kes countenanced
by the union managers.
This is the information from the

Startling Statistics

a telling life insurance document is the
leatiet sent out by the New York life in
surance company entitled Average Value
OF Estates" 1t is the result of an exam
ination of the records of the surrogates
OF thirty-five counties in New York, in
Guiding the counties OF New York and
Kings, the richest i'll the state. The eX-
animation WAS OF the last three months
OF 1898, and shows that out of 10000 per-
sons over twenty-five years Of age dying
during the period named, only 1851, or
Just about one-third, left any estates
Whatever. OF those who were heads Of
families only one half left any estate,
not even Il savings bank account.
OF the 335l estates administered on,
only ssh about % per cent. OF al estates,
and per cent. OF all those dying,
were worth over 5000. Sixty-six per
cent, of all left no estates; . per cent
of all left estates valued at under =, 900,
the average value of those below this
amount being 1,292. Less than per
cent. OF all left estate, valued at over
5000.
ling. 1t is a sad commentary upon the
trugality OF our people, and upon that
reasonable forethought which provide,
for helpless loved ones. Ii cannot be
possible that these heads OF families
thousands of them each year in the state
OF New York alone dying with 10 es-
tate whatever have found it utterly i'm
possible to accumulate few thousand
dollars in a lifetime. Could We know
how much they spent unwisely, how
much solely for personal graf itication,
We should no doubt be greatly astonis he'd
and saddened
1t would be interesting to know how
many OF the 10000 persons included in
the above statement had ayaied them
selves of the benefits of life insurance.
and so provided for the needs of those de-
pendent upon them Let US hope that
many had shown this foret houg ht g..
Doubtless many did. Doubtless many
did not. This at any rate is true, that
the surprising facts above recorded are
an unanswerable argument for the ne
cessity of life insurance.
If only nine men in one hundred accu-
mulated as much as 5000 for their
families to live upon after their death,
how pressing is the need, and how
strenuous the duty of the other ninety
one TO at once, and in the only possible
way, make it sure that when they die the
great and wonderful device of life insur-
anee shall do for them what they are
either incapable or unwilling to do for
themselves, iz.:-furnish to their de-
pendent ones that which is absolutely
necessary for their support and comfort.
1t is incredible that any man with a
spark OF intelligence or affection, in the
face of the hard facts we have quoted,
should refuse, or even delay, to apply for
a policy OF insurance in some good COM
pany.
