Lightning plays some funny pranks
sometimes and while it is doing so does
not always make fatal strikes.
Monday during the shower Fremont
Weeks and his son Heber were sitting in
the shed of their home on Taylor street,
when a bolt passed through the building
and seemed to light up the whole house.
At the same time Mr.. Weeks fell out of
his chair and for a little while seemed
paralyzed.
His son Heber had his lip cut and all
his teeth shattered by the electric fluid
He afterward said it seemed to him as if
his whole head was ablaze, and he will
never forget the experience he had last
night.
The lightning did not strike anywhere
in that vicinity.

All for LOudenslaper.

1t may have happened way back in the
dim distant past, but the memory of the
Oldest man at present interested in Re-
publican politics-or any other kind of
politics, in fact-in Camden fails to recall
it. 1t happened in Camden last night
however. The event was the naming of
delegates to Republican Congressional
Convention for the First Congressional
district, who are to be elected at the pri-
maries next Monday evening, without
any opposition, and who are all for the
denomination of Congressman who has
already served two terms, Hon. Henry
G. Loudenslager, of Paulsboro.
The meetings in the several wards at
tracted but little attention, there being no
opposition from any source to Mr..
Loudenslager's return, and his will be
the only name presented to the conven-
ton which meets at Woodbury. on the
30th. His nomination means his election,
and there is not the slightest doubt but
that he will carry Camden county by
even larger majority on the Sd of No
vember than that given for him two years
ago.-Cdnade,, Courier.

PITTsBURG, July 26.-The Convention
of the American Window Glass Workers
Association adjourned finally Friday
night, having disposed of all the business
brought before it. The Wage Committee

EARLY yesterday morning between 400
and 500 members of the Glass Workers
Association, including the delegates to
the Convention, started for Canton, Ohio,
to visit Major Mckinley. The special

SEA BREEZE.
Rumored Purchase of That Famous
Delaware Bay Resort.

A Rumored Purchase of That Famous,
Delaware Bay Resort.
1t is rumored that William J. Thomp-
son, of Gloucester, has purchased the
Sea Breeze property. The rumor is
pretty we'll confirmed, although nothing,
definate is as yet known.
1t is well known fact that the pretty
resort, Washington Park, owned by Mr..
Thompson, is not paying this year, and
will probably close before tue season is
ended. Willow Grove is catching all the
people.
This is one reason assigned for Mr..
Thompson's purchase of Sea Breeze, to
build up the place and run resort there
that Cumberland county people can go
to, and enjoy days pleasure.
Sea Breeze being located eleven miles
below Bridgeton, is easy of access by
land or water, and the famous place was
always favorite for Bridgetonians.
1t is also rumored that trolley line.
will run to this place if the purchase has
been made.

PERILOUs POSITION.
With His Foot Caught in an Elevator Ed
ward Barrett is Sent Skyward.

With His Foot Caught in an Elevator Ed
ward Barrett is Sent Skyward.
Edward Barrett, expressman, had an
experience last Saturday that he will
long remember, and it seems but mir
acle that to-day he is not a dead man.
He was employed in moving the goods
of the Globe Shirt Factory to the Crickler
building, on Atlantic street.
In order to get the goods in the second
story it was necessary to use the big ele-
vator. Mr.. Barrett was on it, and chair
which was also on the elevator slipped.
He went to grab the chair when he lost
his position and fell.
AS he fell his foot caught in the eleva-
tor and his body swung over to one side.
In this perilous position he was carried
rapidly to the top. What his thoughts
were no one but himself knows, but he
never expected to escape alive.
Fortunately, however, when the ele-
vator struck the top he was released.
His foot was terribly bruised where he
was held prisoner. 1t was indeed a
lucky escape for Mr.. Barrett, and his ex-
perience will long be remembered.

CHANGES IN REPRESENTATION.
Republican State Executive Committed
Alter Few of the Existing Conditions.

-A--"
Republican State Executive Committee
Alter Few of the Existing Conditions.
NEWARK, July 27.-The Executive
Committee of the Republican State Com
mittee met at Republican State head
quarters in the Prudential Building to-
day. The first business discussed was
the basis of representation in the next
State Convention. There was a PROPOSE
ton to change from the existing system
and allow one delegate for each voting
district, regardless of the strength of the
party. There was considerable argument,
but it was decided not to make any ma
terial change. The present system allows
one delegate for each 200 Republican
votes, with one additional delegate for a
for fraction not below 100.
The basis of representation, as adopted
to-day, will operate somewhat differently
from the system as heretofore in use.
The apportionment is by county, Essex
county, for instance, having cast 29,397
votes, will have 147 delegates in the Con-
vention.
The County Committees will have to
apportion the delegates to the districts,
and the result may be that certain dis
tricts will have but half vote to cast in
the Convention.

Lewis Stanton and boy,-hasa noroa

morning, and Stanton was drowned.
The two were in small boat carp fish

Stanton at once sank beneath the

The body of Stanton and the boy were

Warns Them to Reject the silver Remedy
For our Ills.
CANTON, July /26.-Major Mckinley
yesterday received a delegation of the
National Window Glass Workers Asso-
citation. The party represented eleven
States, and practically the entire force of
window glass workers in the country.
They were accompanied by Pittsburg
band, and were so well organized that
they attracted much attention and many
favorable comments.
The address of the spokesman. Henry
Bostick, of the Pemberton (Indiana) dis
trict, was one of the best of those deliver
on the Mckinley lawn, and his address
is generally commented upon as most
able effort. That he was voicing the SEN
timent of his associates was evidenced by
the frequent Interruptions by cheers and
applause.
The entire company sent up cheer
upon cheer as Mr.. Mckinley rose to re-
spond. In his usual happy manner the
| Governor replied to the greetings of the
men, and addressed them on the impor-
| tant issues.
After most excellent speech there
was an informal reception, and all the
glassworkers were privileged to shake
the candidate by the hand.

HIT WITH A BEER BOTTLE,
Peter Wilson Attacked by Robert McOuig-
| gen and Beaten Over the Head.

Feter wilson Attacked by Robert McOuig-
| gen and Beaten Over the Head.
On Saturday night about nine o'clock
Peter Wilson was attacked by Robert
| McQulggan and beaten over the head
wlthia beer bottle until he was uncon-
| scious.
The affray took place at Commerce
street and East avenue and was witness
ed by several persons. Wilson was
! brought to DR.. Davis office where his
wound was dressed by Drs. Davis and
Sites, and afterwards he was taken to
the lookup where he remained all night.
Wilson and McQuiggan both live at
Cedarville and Saturday they hired rig
from Jack Duffield to come to Bridgeton.
McQuiggan had no money while Wilson
had ninteen dollars on him. They got
David Thompson to come along with
them.
The men had all been drinking, Wilson
paying the bill for all. After going
around town Wilson claims he wanted to
go home and started to go about O'Clock
but the other two fellows did not want to
go and they went after more beer. While
returning and when at the corner of Com
merce street and East avenue they got
out Of the wagon. McQuiggan, so Wilson
says, wanted to borrow somemoney from
him and he refused to loan it to him.
This made him angry and picked up a
beer bottle and struck him on the head,
back his ear.
McQuiggan and Thompson left and
George Hamlyn, potter, who saw the at
tack, went to Wilson and found him lying
on the ground unconscious. He got him
in the carriage and took him to the doc
tors.
The blood flowed copiously from Will
sons head and ear, and his cries could be
heard afar when the stitches were being
taken in his head. While he was at the
doctors McQuiggan called there after
him, and he was soon put under arrest
and taken to the lookup and placed in a
cell until this morning, when he was
given hearing.
Sunday morning Wilson was taken
over to Jail. he was attended by DIR.
Davis. All day Wilson complained of
dizziness and severe pains in his head.
The blow also made him deaf in one ear.
1t was al lucky blow for McQuiggan. Had
it been a little lower it probably would
have killed Wilson.
McQuiggan is bad man. He is the
fellow, It will be remembered, who
threatened to brain Constable Elwell with
an axe when that official arrested him on
the riparian oyster grounds last year.
Monday NOR ling the Mayor gave Nc
Quiggan a hearing and held him in 5000
bail for Court.

JACOB ERNEST DEAD.
Another Esteemed Citizen Passed Away
Monday Morning.

Another Esteemed Citizen Passed Away
Monday Morning.
Jacob Ernest, one of our most widely
known and esteemed citizens, died at his
home, 14l Giles St., at five O'Clock Mon
day morning. His death was easy, and
he was conscious till the last. His death
was due to throat consumption, and since
the first of November he has been con-
fined to the house with the dreaded all
ment. For several weeks his brother
John had been attending him.
Deceased was born in Wurtemburg
Germany, February 5th, 1888. He
learned the cabinet making trade, and
when about eighteen years of age he
came to this country, in 1S4S. Landing
in Philadelphia he stayed there short
time, and then came to this county and
went to work on the Lewis Garrison
farm in Deerfield township. He after
wards went to work at Mull's mills, (now
Edgewater.)
Forty years ago he moved to this city,
and kept flour and feed store in a small
wooden structure, where now stands the
back of s. E. McGear & Bros store. He
and William Thompson were in partner
ship in the business for nine years. Pre-
vious to this, however, Mr.. Ernest was
in the employ of the late Richard Lott, in
the milling business.
After going out of business he formed a
partnership with Joseph Ware in the
coal, wood and fertilizer business which
lasted twelve years, when the firm retired
and sold out to B. F. Hires, who still
carries on the business.
Deceased was elected tax collector of
Third ward and was the first collector
who was elected by the city. In politics
was a staunch Democrat.
In 1855 he married Anna West who still
survives him. A daughter, Mrs. Harry
Corey also survives him. John Ernest,
brother and Mrs. Hermann, of this city,
and Mrs. Walters, of Deerfield, are still
living.
Mr.. Ernest was member of St. Johns
Lutheran church and for twenty-one years
was Superintendent of the Sunday School.

A New Thought.

The proprietor of large clothing store
in New York, in talk with represent
ative of Brains, gave this as his idea of
good advertising:
One thing at a time and not too much of
that. A brief. terse, convincing little ad
about one thing will be read and will
bring people to the store, whereas big,
bumptious ad will either not be read at
all, or will fail utterly to have the desired
effect.
Advertising, after all, is essential news.
If store has any considerable amount
of news that would be of interest to
buyers it is good advertising to let them
have in broad side, instead of doing it
out as continued story. Much, how
ever, depends upon the line of business.

MAURICE RIVER OOVEs.

The Oysters are Not Growing This Summer.
Oystermen who have tried their plants
in Maurice River Cove, say that the BIZ
valves are growing scarcely at all
this summer. This is the season when
they should be growing and getting
themselves in order for next fall.
The summer season is when the plant
ers look for their oysters to grow and the
prospects thus far is anything but en-
couraging.
They may yet make start and catch
up for lost time, but it is not probable
that they will.
d, Still at any rate it is hoped that by next
fall the oyster will come around all
right.
