DEATH PREVENTS THE BANS.
A Vineland Bride Dies in Her Bethrothed
Arms.

vineland Bride Dies in Her Bethrothed
NINELAND, n. j., June 3.-Almost on
the eve of her wedding, Miss Lottie E.
Spencer, died in the arms of her affianced,
Frederick Robinson, yesterday. She was
a member of the choir of the First NJ. E.
Church, and her death cast deep gloom
over the congregation yesterday. Mr..
Robinson, is a young Philadelphian, and
he had been engaged to be married 10
Miss Spencer for some time. The date
for the nuptials was fixed for June II, the
invitations had been printed and were to
have been sent out to-day. The bride-to to-
be was joyously eXpectant amid the prep
aration of all the little details Mr. Rob-
inson had nicely furnished a house in
Philadelphia for their future home, and
the skies We're all bright for the happy
pair.
Miss Spencer had been suffering slight
ly with an liberated sore throat, but it
was not counted serious, except to pre-
vent her singing in the choir yesterday.
Yesterday morning. indeed, she was con-
sidered quite WELL and when Mr.. Robin
son came down in the morning she gave
him an atfectionate greeting.
During the day, however, she lapsed
into sudden fit of weakness and faint
ing. Her physician was hurriedly sum-
moned, but nothing could be done for
her. She died i'll her lovers arms, sur
rounded by the members OF her family.
1t is supposed that the intense heat and
the excitement of her approaching we'd
ding were too much for her. Mr.. Robin-
son is completely dazed by his great mis-
fortune.
Miss Spencer's vacant place in the choir
last evening was marked by a beautiful
floral tribute from her friends.

A TORNADO.
Hail, Wind and Rain Damaged Crops,
Trees and Buildings.

Trees and Buildings.
A heavy tornado passed over part of
the section between here and Deerield
Monday night, doing very much damage
to crops.
Mr.. A. P Seabrook was In Deerfield
last evening, and while there the tornado
came up. 1t hailed little in Deerfield
and the wind blew pretty hard, while it
thundered and the lightning flashed.
When the storm had subsidized, Mr.. Sea-
brooks and blacksmith Rogers started
for home. Down the pike they saw the
evidences of the cyclone. Trees were
blown down and limbs We're scattered
over the road, and fences We're prostrated
and rails scattered about the roads and
fields.
AT Tom. Barracliff's barn door was
found blown out into the road.
When Mr.. Seabrook arrived home he
found that the storm had been more Sc
we're there than it was further up toward
Deerfield Two of his barn doors were
blown off, fruit and shade trees were
broken off and fences We're demolished;
hail was all over the ground, in some
places an inch thick, the hail stones were
big as marbles; window panes were
cracked and his crops were beaten down.
A fine field Of wheat, as high as his
shoulders Monday, was ON Tuesday
almost flat to the ground, while his lima
bean field was completely devastated.
The storm had passed over from north
east to southwest, and must have done
considerable damage to the crops in its
passage.
The weather is much cooler in conse-
quence of the storm.

Poultry Raising.

A lady in this city-we might say a
North Laurel st. lady-has gone into
poultry raising, She has one chick
already. Last Saturday she procured
some eggs for culinary purposes, and
while carrying them home in basket
she heard a slight noise in the basket at
intervals; when she got homie she in
vestigated the noise, and found a little
chick just struggling out of the shell. A
cotton incubator was improvised and the
chick is now doing WE'LL
Her husband thinks the weather must
nave been very warm on she must have
walked very slow on going home, for a
fresh egg to develop chicken while
she walked two or three squares.

TUMBLING DAM PARK.
Acres OF Public Pleasure Ground for the
People.

People.
1t would take an exploring party sew
eral days to find all of the delightful
trysting places in the many acres of Tunn-
bling Dam Park, which go to make up
one OF the very finest Of all South Jersey
summer resorts.
Bridgeton people fail to realize what
delightful place there is for them to en-
joy, but it is Immediately embraced and
appreciated by a stranger, no matter
from What part Of the country he comes.
1t would take columns of newspaper to
give anything like detailed description
OF this wonderful property, and one cam
not even conjecture it's possibilities. Suf-
flce tito say that surrounding the great,
beautiful body of water is picturesque
and incompatible pleasure ground
People are beginning now to take in
| the Park in great numbers, and for this
article just the places of entertainment
and amusement will be spoken Of
Get off the car, and to the right is the
spacious enclosed ball ground, which has
upon it a fine grand stand, much nicer
arranged than any in South Jersey. On
| the left of the terminal platform is the
two-story handsome pavilion erected by
| the Traction Co. The second floor is
| open for picnic parties, and the free use
OF large tables is given. Down stairs is a
fine refreshment booth, and everything
delightful and in season is furnished
there.
| Just south of this is the great octagon
caroussel building, an ornament to the
| Park, and upon the interior is $4,000
machine, the finest ever seen in this city.
A refreshment stand is also located in
this building.
Just south of this building are the fly
ing swings which will prove a delightful
past-time to all who enjoy out door plea
sures. Directly opposite and along the
pond, are the bath houses, and steps lead
to the marine toboggan pavilion, which
will prove a most popular place during
the summer
Down on the beach is the band stand,
wherein the evenings, the City Band dis
courses most excellent music, and it
will prove delightful treat to the public;
and then comes the mammoth two story
pavilion over the water, surrounded by a
wide piazza, which makes a delightful
place for the promenaders. Inside on the
first floor is the restaurant and ice cream
parlors, which will serve accommoda-
tions for hundreds of people. Upstairs
are two shuttle boards, and other amuse-
ments which will tend to pass dull hour
away.
Then there is the enclosed cottage at In
spiration Point for private parties, and
the airy, open pavilions on the waters
edge for the picnic parties.
All this for the public, andimore, and
Mr.. Sylvester, the gentlemanly proprietor
is running it in bang-up style. Let the
people enjoy it as they should. A fifteen

something other Than Beef.

The Secretary of Agriculture is said to
have been convinced, from an investiga-
ton of statistics of the live stock market
that his first impression was correct with
respect of a combination TO raise the price
of beef to the consumer without allowing
the producer his due share. His agents
are working zealonsly to get at the real
facts, but they are not likely to get at the
full returns until the beef "famin'' shall
have passed into history. Fortunately
for mankind, the fish crop is prodigious
and fresh vegetables are fairly darting
from the soil into the sunlight in their
impatience to get into market The high

BRIDGETON N ], THURSDAY JUNE6. 1895.

hO oHltt IidU IL lneSe people had entered
Hayes house in riotous manner, with
out his consent, he would have been iusti-
fed in defending it even to the extent of
using his knife, but if they were admit
ted to his house, then he must use the
principles as would apply to self defense
in any other place, and, as the fracas was
begun between Shorts and Hayes, as all
the evidence showed, after Shorts had
been admitted to the house, the elements
of defending his home were eliminated.
The conclusion of his charge pointed
decidedly towards verdict for man
slaughter, almost entirely eliminating
murder in the second degree.
The jury retired about quarter to five
o'clock
Judge Hoagland, after the jury had re-
tired, sent Tor William Allison and Frank
K. Ward, and pronounced sentence upon
them.
When Allison was called up for SEN
tence, Prosecutor Logue stated to the
Court that Allison had pleaded guilty to
all the indictments against him, and in
addition to this, he had rendered valuable
services to the State in the detection and
conviction of the gang of robbers and
burglars who had infested the county.
He said that Allison's services in giving
information had been invaluable to the
State, and without them the State could
not have broken up, captured and con-
victed the gang, all but one of whom were
| now in the State Prison. In consider
alton of these services, and, the Prosecu-
tor continued, it had been the rule of the
Courts to do SO, he desired that the Court
| would take those services rendered by
Allison into consideration, and give him
the benefit in passing sentence.
Judge Hoagland then sentenced Frank
X. Ward to five years in State Prison for
| the robbery of Robbins store, at Port
| Norris. In sentencing Allison, he said
the Court had considered the fact of his
having pleadedg guilty to the indictments
against him, and also of the aid he had
| been to the prosecution in ferreting out
the robbers, and the Court had decided
to be lenient in sentencing him. Allison
was then sentenced to the State Prison
at hard labor for the Stratton robbery fol
five years, and for the Carman and Cresst
| robbery, five years in State Prison OF
each, these two sentences to run together
making five years for this hold-up. Fol
tina robher5 Of Miss Martha and Mis-
Eliza Browt was sentenced to fv,
wears for each, these two sentences ais
to run concurrently-making the entir
sentence fifteen years.
| The Judge then said, ''on the other in
dictments, sentence is suspended for tn
present, and after you have served ou
your term, you can then be brought VI
and sentenced on them if necessary"
There are four other indictments pend
| ing over Allison.
The jury in the Hayes case came il
just before eight O'Clock, and, notwith
standing the direct charge of Judge Rec,
| indicating u verdict of manslaughter, tn
jury returned verdict of murder i'll tn,
second degree.
Judge Reed Immediately sentences
| Hayes to State Prison for period of tif
teen years, and Court adjourned for tn
| term.

How Details Could BE Arranged.
Inasmuch as there are likely to be at
least 1000 banks organized under any
national law, the treasurer might act as
redeeming agent for all of the banks, in
accordance with the present usage, and
each bank should at all times keep with
the treasurer, per cent Of its capital
stock as redemption fund, which fund
should be in gold coin, and held in
trust for the specific purpose intended,
and not mingled with other moneys,
and not counted as part Of the funds Of
the treasury. AS fast as notes are
redeemed, the bank to at once
remit sum that would repair
any deficiency made by redemption, arp
new notes be forwarded by the comp.
troller to the bank where paper has
been Cancelled. Inasmuch as the banks
would make profit out of the circula.
ton not secured by United States notes
or Sherman notes (for would include
both), it is right that all the banks
should pay tax upon the unsecured
notes to the government for the privil.
eye accorded them. This tax should be
made sufficiently large to accom-
plish three things. First-To pay
all the expenses Of the, office of the
comptroller of the currency, including
the printing of bank notes, etc. Sec.
ond-To pay the United States for the
charters granted, a handsome revenue,
| which should aid in defraying the gen.
eral expense account, and, thirdly, to
make the currency elastic. By means
of tax sufficiently large to compass
the above, the currency would flow in
to the channels of trade whenever
there was demand for it. ! would

win be likely to meet with the approval
of the law-making power. It must be
rememberedFthat there exists in many
parts of the country, an unreasonable
prejudice aahinst banks in general, and
National banks in particular, and the
legislature will look askance at any
scheme fof currency reform that grants
too many privileges to banks. So, in

mind. Ant new banking plan, provid'
ING for circulating notes must be ma

seem to dehand this. The great lines
of TRANSFORMATION east and west, north
and south, have bound us SO closely,
and trade between the states is SO enor-

Anxiety Over tho Gold Reserve.
"A further damage is the ever over
hanging menace lest the government
should be compelled, under great stress,
to refuse to pay it's obligations in gold,
owing to the exposed condition in which
it is placed by unwise legislation. It is
q continued source Of anxiety to the
country lest great financial reverses
come, as the result Of an enforced re-
demption of large sum Of treasury
notes. Investors and business men, at
home and abroad, watch the barometer
of the gold reserve, and the keenest I'M
certainty prevails whenever the balance
Of trade turns against us. The markets
for cotton, wheat and securities are in
fuenced by the slightest indications of
even moderate withdrawal Of gold for
shipment abroad. The mere fact that

thorlty TO make iobbers' ratios out OF
