FIRE AT NEWPORT.

Bengamin f. Pages House Destroyed by
Fire Saturday Night.
The residence of Benjamin f. Page was
totally destroyed by fire Saturday even
ng, and his family had narrow escape
from being consumed in the flames.
Mrs. Page went up into the garret, or
attic, about o'clock Saturday evening,
taking lighted lamp with her, to get
some pieces of cloth with which to do
some family patching.
One of the children, who went up in the
attic with her, accidentally knocked the
lamp out out of her hands and broke it.
The oil caught fire, and in an instant, the
whole attic was in flames.
Mrs. Page and the children made a
rush down the stairs, barely escaping
from the flames and almost frightened
out of their senses.
The flames spread with surprising
rapidity. A few goods only were got out
of the house, and that was all tnat was
saved.
The house was insured by Daniel Lore,
agent, in the North American for $1,000.

A WORD OF PROPHECY.
HOW the Wilderness will be Made to Bloom.
South Laurel Street to Blossom.

south Laurel Street to Blossom
Inc Old Buck property at the foot of
Laurel street, in the early part of the
century was place of splendor, and the
nome there, for those times, was polatial.
But 1t become depleted; then a glass
mandatory with it's busy randals swept
over the place; that vanished away
several years ago and the property be-
came veritable wilderness in some
portion of it.
NOW the hand of improvement has
seized npon it, and the march of progress
has begun. a wharf with strong and
heavy stone walls, will be built along the
property, which skirts the Cohansey; the
destruction Of the wilderness has COM
menced and the busy scenes to follow
have been inaugurated.
The building of a wharf along this
property, and the construction OF anew
bridge at Broad street, which will touch
the northern end of the wharf. is fra,1ght
Win more possibilities than appear on the
surface. Jefferson street and lower Broad
street will receive an air of importance
they have never before known; new
Commerce street will bloom in all that
section Of the town and it will not be sur
prising to see brick blocks of stones on
both sides of Jefferson street, if not also
on Broad street.
The proximity of the section to the
West Jersey depot, and the ease of land
ing freight from vessels in the Cohansey
without the bother of going through the
bridge, will make the location the very
best III the city for wholesale business,
and it need surprise no one to see whole
sale establishments spring up in the
section. All down South Laurel street.
below Jefferson, a great improvement in
property will take place and Mulberry
street will be given new appearance.
Lucky are those who own property
down that way now, for it's value will be
greatly increased by the deals in real
estate which will spring up.
The work of constructing the wall of
the wharf has already begun.

FREE AGAIN.
Daniel Scul Secured Bail and Was Re- |
leased Last Night.

Daniel Scull Secured Bail and Was Re-
leased Last Night.
Daniel Scull succeeded in getting bail
Friday afternoon, in the sum of 5000,
and was released from Jail Friday night.
Ross and Housand, were not so fortu-
nate yesterday, and it is hardly likely
that they will get out of prison until they
are tried.
SculPs. friends worked manfully for
him, and they had to put up good, solid
collateral to indemnify the bondsmen be-
fore they Wee willing to sign the bond.
1t is understood that it took $780, in cash
in one case, and house and lot in the
other case.
With these securities and with a belief
in having,a perfect defence to the charges
brought against him, Mr.. Scull will be
found Oh hand when his trial is called.

NEWPORT MAN KILLED.
Hundreds Made a Rush for the Trolley Cars
at Washington Park Station Wednesday
Night Sending a Young Man Into
Eternity-An Inquest May be
Ordered.

The death of Harry Bradford is
sad and silent testimonial to
the wild, mad rush of crowd Wednes-
day night for a trolley car at the Wash
ington Park station of the Camden,
Gloucester and Woodbury. Railroad.
The story, as told Courier reporter
this morning by one who was there, is to
this effect: 1t was about 1015 O'Clock
No cars had been along for some time,
when train of three rolled up to the
station. A great crowd had gathered and
as usual with such crowds all wanted to
get on the cars at once. Before the trolley
motor had been brought to a standstill
there was rush by the hundred would
be passengers. Bradford was in the front
ranks. The great crowd behind surged
against him and in moment he was
beneath the wheels of the car. There
was cry of horror from those who saw
him fall. He was taken out unconscious
and was brought to the Cooper Hospital,
in dying condition. He died at twenty
minutes of three. He was twenty
years old and lived at Newport.
SOuIlly IuySlCldu JONES tOOk C0dfSo OF
the body and will probably order an in
quest.
The above item, taken from yesterdays
Camden Courier tells a sad tale.
Harry Bradford, with party of young
friends, left Newport for a sailing trip up
the Delaware. They took run down to
Washington Park, and this gives an ac.
count of the fatal result.
Mr.. Bradford lived with his grand
mother at Newport. When youth he
was employed in the dry goods store of
w. III. Woodruff, of this city, and after
leaving there he went to school and
finally became school teacher.
He was also later attending the State
Normal School, from which he would
graduate next Spring.
He last year taught school in Cedar
vile, and before that had taught in Salem
County.
He was an exemplary young man. and
a member of the Newport Baptist
Church. His terrible death causes sad
ness in his native village.

IN FAVOR OF THE GERMAN LODGE.

knights of Pithias.

Decision iu the Difference Between the
knights of Pithias.
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Judge Brentano, in
the Superior Court this morning, gave
Waldeck Lodge, X. of p, authority to
use the German language in it's ritual.
The ruling of the court, which gives in
detail the history of the differences be-
tween the Waldeck Lodge and the Grand
Lodge of the State, orders the issuance of
writ of mandamus compelling the lat
ter body to restore the charter it took
from Waldeck Lodge; to give back to it's
members something like 81, 900 worth of
property that was held pending the liti-
cation, and to furnish them with the
password of the Order, which is changed
twice a year.
An injunction restraining the Grand
Lodge from further interfering with
Waldeck Lodge because it's members
persisted in using the German language
during service in the lodge-room, was
made permanent
Attorney Charles Anthony, of counsel
for the Grand Lodge, declared the mat
ter would be appealed to the Supreme
Court.

posed extension of West Commerce

IN DEEP TROUBLE.
Dan Scull Arrested On Another Serious
Charge.

Charge.
Dan Scull, the glassworker is in much
trouble and he cannot tell yet, just when
it will end. He has been in Jail for a few
days upon charge of stealing chickens,
and the bail for his appearance at Court,
was fixed at $780, Yesterday William
Smith deposited 5000 in cash in bank to
the credit of Justice Davis, as bail and
Scull was discharged.
No sooner had Scull received his free
dom before Constable Carman served a
warrant upon him, and he was again
under arrest. The complaint which was
made by Officer Garrison charged Scull
with aiding Burt Ross, a prisoner under
arrest, in escaping from the officers of the
law. The complaint alleged that Scull
furnished Ross with a horse and buggy
to drive away.
Scull pleaded guilty to the charge, and
was sent back to Jail in default of $500
bail,

THE GLASS WAGE SCALE.
Vice President Hays Says the Committee
Intends to Press for the Rates
Paid in 1892.

ATLANTIC City, August l2.-Vice
President Hayes, of the Green Glass
Workers Union, who has been sojourn-
ing here since the conference, will leave
for Pittsburg on Tuesday to attend the
joint meeting of the workmen and manu-
facturers to be held in that city on Au-
gust p.
In speaking of the wage scale Mr..
Hays said it was the intention of the
committee to raise the scale of wages on
par with 1872, before the panic. AS
many reductions were granted the man
ufacturers, he feels confident that the
increasing business warrants a restora-
ton, which he thinks will be made at the
coming convention.

LOOKS LIKE A BRIDGE.
The Committe will Get Plans and specif-
cations.


AT the meeting of the Board OF Free
holders Wednesday afternoon, an import
ant step was taken regarding the build
ing OF new bridge at Broad street over
the Cohansey. This was the only busi-
ness taken up during the day.
1t was plainly demonstrated by the
Committee and by the engineer employed
by the Committee that the present
structure is unsafe. 1t is doing it's work
with light travel but will not carry
heavy loads, and unless something is
done Immediately the county may be
liable for serious damages.
From the report of the engineer it
seems that the present bridge can be
temporarily repaired at cost of about
$500, but then the structure would be in
adequate, as the drive way is but eighteen
feet wide, and the sidewalks but five.
1t seems to be the concensus of opinion
that the second plan in the report of the
engineer was the one to be adopted. The
present structure rests upon very sub
stantial centre pier. By building what
is known as deck bridge, much
wider and more substantial structure can
be carried on this same pier By deck
bridge it is meant to build bridge with
all the supports and braces underneath
the floor instead of above, as on the pre-
sent local bridges.
The matter was discussed in all its
phases and the engineer gave as an ap-
proXimate cast for such structure S95OO,
although it is believed such bridge can
be built for $4,000 or less. With the Trac-
ton Company furnishing one-third of
of this amount, the bridge would not cost
the county but little money, and the re-
suit would be great permanent and
much needed and demanded improve
ment.
Mr. Bacon, of Greenwich, offered the
following resolution, which was carried
almost unanimously:
WHEREAS, The Committee ap-
pointed by this Board at the last meeting
to examine and report upon the strength
and safety of the Broad street bridge, to
public travel, having made report that
in their judgement as well as in
the Judgment Of the engineer who
was employed to make an examination
OF saia Drldge, that the said Broad street
bridge is not of sufficient strength
at this time to carry loads that are likely
to cross upon it,
"Resolved, That the committee be and
are hereby authorized to advertise for
plans and specifications for the building
of new iron bridge over the Cohansey
river at Broad street, in the City of Bridge
ton, said bridge to be 3S feet in width
over all, rs feet roadway and feet width
of sidewalk.
"ResOlUed, That the committee be re-
quested to report the plans and specifica-
tlons at the next meeting of the Board"
The only other business transacted was
to authorize the taking down of the South
wing wall on the East side of Broad street
bridge, i'll front of the Buck property on
Jefferson street. This is done to make
room for important improvements.
