AN EVANGELIST.
Lawyer James Matlack scoveI Becomes a
Preacher.


EvangelistJ James Matlack Scovel is the
new title and vocation of FISHERMAN
Jim Scovel," once the hero of Duncan
non. For over thirty years James Mat
lack Scovel has been a unique and an &C.
centric figure in New Jersey politics.
He was even known beyond his own
State, for he has "stumped" in many
national campaigns in all parts of the
United States. 1t would take good
sized volume to tell all the interesting
things in connection with his brilliant
and erratic political course, and the
strange climax comes that he now goes
before the people of his own State, an
enthusiastic revivalist and evangelist,
and in few days, to prove that prophet
is some good in his own country, he will
preach to the sinners of the city of CAM
den, explaining to them his remarkable
change of heart and vocation.
Colonel Scovel began his political ca
reer back in 1868, when he became MEM
Der of the House of Assembly. He was
very quickly transferred to the Senate,
| and before the end Of his term was elected
L P1CSlNlCAt VI tIldb OOuys III was d UldIl VI
good education, liberal ideas and an ora
tor of no mean calibre, and particularly
| available for national campaigns. When
in the Senate he was an aggressive leader,
and at one time a candidate for United
States Senator. He was particularly
| friendly with Abraham Lincoln and took
an active part in his campaign. He has
written some very interesting reminis-
cences Of politics, in war days, and par
| ticularly some side views of the martyred
President After leaving The Senate he
| always took an interest in politics, very
| frequently wavering in his faith. His
| law practice became extensive, but it fell
| away as rapidly as he acquired it. In
later days he became a political Bohem-
ian, and his talent at stump speaking was
always used in the West, because he was
too well known in the East. He finally
drifted to journalism and wrote all sorts
of politics at the regulation price per coll
| umn. He became far famed as fisher
man, and few can equal him writing a
| fish yarn -
He finally dropped out of public gaze,
/ dlSl WOulO nave DCCu 1OASOuUOAl, WCIc
it not that he has gone into the church
and proposes to devote the rest of his
talents and energy to save mankind in
general. He is the son of Presbyterian
| minister, and had good religious edu-
cation. He has cast his lot with the Bap-
tist Church, but he proposes to work for
all evangelical bodies. Last Sunday he
created furore at a Gospel Meeting at
West Chester, Pa, where he gave his ex-
perience which caused him to set his face
Zionward, after he gave his experience to
his fellow statesmen in Camden and vi
cinity. He will attend the convention OF
the Evangelists in Norfolk, Mass, in
July, and place himself under the special
guidance of Evangelist Moody. After
this he will begin work in earnest, and
will preach the Gospel with the same
| vigor that he made his political speeches
| in the days of yore.

LOST S25.
But he was Drunk and Don't Know how
the Money Went.

But he was Drunk and Don't Know how
the Money Went.
William Wilson, alias Tug Wilson,
of Cedarville, was in Bridgeton Thursday
afternoon and evening and was drunk
again.
Wilson always has the notion that he
can come to Bridgeton with pocket-book
bulging with money, get drunk, and
escape from the Philistines with his
money in his pocket all right. He fails
every time, and last night he failed the
same way.
tug had s25 in bills and some
change in his pocket, when he fell in
with lot of wicked fellows; he lost con-
.sciousness shortly after leaving Brooks
restaurant, during the night and when he
awoke this morning he was along the
road below the 'Whistling Buoy His
pocket-book was gone, and he was sad,
and he returned to Bridgeton in search OF
his money, reporting the loss Of it to the
Mayor.

At Rest.


Died Tuesday morning, at four O o'clock,
Maud Alma, daughter of BENZ. f. and
Hannah L. Horner, at the home of her
parents, corner of Commerce and Pearl
streets, aged p years.
She will be greatly missed by large
circle of friends and acquaintance with
whom she was great favorite. Her
presence at home was as sunshine upon
a spring morning, always cheerful, full
of sympathy and helpfulness whenever
and wherever needed.
During her illness of only few weeks,
she was most cheerful at all times, and so
appreciative Of the kind attention given
by loving hands.
When She was convinced that she could
not get well she cheerfully committed
herself to the care of her loving Saviour,
who so soon took her to Himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horner have the sympa-
thies of our citizens in the loss of their
daughter, who bid so tair. to be comfort
and a blessing to them and the commune
ity in later years.

WILL IT BE NOTICED 2
Rev. Mr.. Fitz Has Ample Warning of the
Intention of His Accusers.


Intention of His Accusers.
A committee was appointed at the re-
cent Baptist council at Roadstown, to
bring the case of the Rev. DR.. Fitz before
the Grand Jury.
The Grand Jury does not meet until
October, and that is a long time ahead.
The matter has not been brought to the
attention of Prosecutor Logue, and if the
Rev. gentleman feels that another local
ity is better for his comfort than New Jer-
sey he has plenty of opportunity to go
away
Believing in his own innocence, how
ever, and his church standing by him, it
is not likely that he will leave the neigh
borhood.
Some ofthe members of hischurch who
support him, believe that the whole thing
is the work of malice and that the charges
are entirely false.

With two lawsuits already well under
way in which the rival Ella mants for pos
session, will try to ge. the decision of the
Court, and with the two bands glaring
threateningly at each other every time
they happen to mer., he situation is not
conductive to harmony.
Ripped out the Corner Stone.
Since Rev. G, w. Rigor, of North Vine
land, executed his fine coup Sunday a
week ago, and took possession of the
pulpit, in the name of the United Breth-
ern, and preached to congregation con-
sisting of lawyer Landis, Constable Nick
erson and belligerent sexton, the Methe-
| dists have been on the alert to compass
his defeat. They held that as large ma
jority of the membership had voted in
favor of making this Methodist Church
and Methodist Church it should be.
Somebody said a mere vote couldn't ac-
complish it-that the corner stone had
| been laid for United Brethren Church,
and this it would have to remain. But SO
small a matter as a corner stone was
trif1ing obstacle to the accomplishment of
a purpose. A little band of the faithful
Methodists got together the otherl day,
rooted out the corner stone bodily and
put new dyed-in-the-roek Wesleyan
block in it's place. The old one, with the
papers, coins and other fixtures of corner
stone in general, was buried in nearby
field.
Held Service in School House.
1t has been rumored that Pastor Rigor
would reappear at the church on Sunday
and attempt to hold formal service again.
and it was openly asserted that he would
meet with a hot reception. Trouble was
anticipated, but the pastor did not appear;
j but he and his little band Of followers,
went to the school house, nearby, where
they held services.
I That the affairs of the church are very
sadly awry is putting it mildly. Each
factor is accusing the other of sacrilage,
robbery and other things. The suit
brought by the United Brethren for the
recovery of the church property will be
heard before Justice Aspinwall, at New
tonville, on July s. William Youngquist
has commenced suit under the Mechanics
lien law to recover $500 from the Methc
dists. and Presiding Elder Wight, of the
Bridgeton district of the M. E. Confer
ence, refuses to recognize the band.

A Pleasant Evening.

The dance last Thursday night was
the most enjoyable affair of the kind
that has taken place in Hawthorne
for years. Everybody, young and
old, turned out, and all were bent on
having a good time. A number OF
visitors came from Luning and Soda,
among them being: W. J. Douglas,
George Fottler, Johnny Harrington,
Thos. Pepper, Jas. McQuillan, John
Humphreys, E. Grassie, Mrs. D. ].
Robb, Mrs. Davis, Miss Maggie
Douglas, Miss Riley, Miss Doherty
and Miss Lothrop. The music was
furnished by Miss Wagner and
Messrs. Knapp, Lothrop and Ingalls,
Dancing was kept up until the south
end whistle admonished the jewellers
that it was A. NJ, when they reluct-
antly adjourned.
The supper at the Nucleus Hotel
was pleasant feature of the occasion.
