little vacation, while Special Officer VIM.

There have been frequent complaints
made to the Mayor, that Mr.. Campbell
was frequently off the streets when he
was supposed to be on duty, and last Sat-

attention of the officer to the charges.
Mr.. Campbell Immediately began a
lengthy explanation, and finally becom-

put a man in his place, at the same time
taking some of his personal effects from

soon be in active operation, giving en-
ployment to the busy men and women
who were earning good wages there be-
fore the depression in times.

Forty-Seven to be Killed at the Aims,

Steward Ogden of the Aims House was
in town Tuesday and a PIONEER re-
porter had a very pleasant and interesting
conversation with him. The steward is
in splendid physical health, bright and
cheerful, and declares that his eyes are
constantly improving, and feels sure that
the time is but little way off when he
will have the sight restored.
Despite the affliction of blindness
Steward Ogden keeps a close hand upon
the affairs of the institution over which
he presides. Things out there were never
in better shape than now and the house is
being conducted i'll accordance with
many reforms which have been inaugu-
rated since Mr.. Ogden has been in
charge.
There are more than forty hogs upon
the place at present, and the first big
slaughter will occur sometime during the
holidays, when twenty-seven of the prize
porkers will yield up their lives for the
pork tub About the first of March the
other hogs will follow in the footsteps of
their brethren.

In ERRORS AND APPEALS.
The Suit Against the VineIand Home for
Feeble Minded Children.

The SUIT Against the Nine1and Home for
Feeble Minded Children.
TRENTON, Nov. 29-The damage case of
the administrator of Frederick Sage
against the managers of the New Jersey
Home for the Education of Feeble-mind-
ed Children, of Vineland, was argued be-
fore the Court of Errors and Appeals to-
day, but no decision was reached. The
case was brought up upon appeal from
the nonsuit granted by Justice Reed in
the Cumberland County Court year ago.
Sage lost his life during the fire at the
home last year. The suit was brought
for the benefit of Sage's child, and was
based on the fact that there was no fire
escape upon the building.
Counsel for Sage's child held that the
home was liable for damages under the
act of 1888, providing for "safe external
means of escape'' from buildings of cer-
tain character. Judge Reed granted the
nonsuit on the ground that supplement
tai act of 1890, providing specifically for
fire escapes, under such regulations as
the local authorities might make, was
revisory of the act of 1888, and that the
lands township authorities having
made no regulations for fire escapes, the
home was not liable for not having
erected any.

The Electric Light Company VIII be Heard
From.
1t is not unlikely that in the future the
Bridgeton Electric Light Company will
be heard from, and that in very few
years the Company will have greatly in
creased its volnme OF business in this
city. Superintendent Harding in the
short while he has been here, has affected
many reforms and laid the foundation
for a busines in the future. 1t is not I'M
likely that the city will give the Com
pany the incandescent electric lighting
of the streets. There are number of
business houses here that will soon take
this service. Mr.. Harding left Bridge
ton yesterday afternoon to look after
some other plants under the care of the
General Electric Company and will re-
turn here on the Sth of December. Dur
ing his absence the business of the Com
pany will be looked after by gentleman
named James, who will also have the
control of the books of the Company.
The plant is of some importance to
Bridgeton. The city receives from it
taxes upon valuation of $4,000, and
employ Bridgeton labor and every sup
ply that can be furnished in the city.

WRITES HIM UP.
The Inquirer Tells Something of MacFar-
land.

land.
The Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday
contained the following interesting
sketch, accompanied by clever picture.
The above cut is true picture of Jas.
MacFarland, one of the best known
horsemen in this country, and the owner
of the great pacing stallion, Ben D., rec
ord 206a. Mr.. Mcfarland was born at
Toms River, N. j., September 26, 1868,
and is but 80 years of age. He was raised
at Monroeville, N. j., and first began
the business with his father at the age of
II, the first purchase being gray mare,
and he was gyped pretty badly. This
was his first experience notwithstand
ing his bad luck, he concluded to go into
the drove business and started West af-
ter a load and continued to travel from
city to city as dealer until 1887, when
he struck the town of Bridgeton, where
he advertised his sale.
1t was there he met with great success
and concluded that was the place for
him to locate, so he purchased the stables
where he is now located. the firm name
being James MacFarland & Son. In the
year of 1889 he bought his fathers half in
terest and took as a partner Robert
Moore, Jr., trading as William MacFar-
land q Co., and in July of the same year
purchased Mr.. Moore's interest and con-
cluded to go it alone. The first move he
made was to enlarge, so to-day the stables
and ground cover about one-half an acre.
In the year of 1890 he branched out into
the trotting business, and owned and
trained such horses as Belford E., 2.274,
Bay State Morgan, 2.254; Stella NJ, 2.364;
Rockaby, 2294; Mark, LIZ; Leslie c.,
2.27;4 Hudson, 2.274; Octagon, trial mile of
2.2O; Tony Mark, 2.27 fiat, and so on until
to-day he has the reputation of having
the fourth fastest stable in the world,
three horses of which can go below 2.13.
He is very popular and quite favorite
wherever he goes. He is a staunch Re-
publican, having been elected from the
ward he resides in as City Councilman by
the largest majority of any man that ever
ran on the Republican ticket.

piling will be drawn and the work of
driving the new piling will begin about
the first of the week.
Carpenters have already built the plat

be sunk upon the piling the masons will
begin their labors. The construction will
then proceed rapidly and show for itself.
