The Republican National Convention
at st. Louis, Thursday completed its
work by nominating William Mckinley.
of Ohio, for President, and Garret A.
Hobart, of New Jersey, for Vice Presi-
dent.
But one ballot was required to make
either nomination. Governor Morton's
name was not presented for second
place.
There were scenes of the widest en-
thusiasm attending the nomination of
the Presidential candidate which has not
been surpassed in any other convention.
The platform was adopted in the form
that has been made familiar to the pub
lie by its free publication in the past two
days.
The free silver men attempted to
amend it by moving the substitution of
a free silver plank. 1t was laid upon the
table by vote of S1S4 to 1861, and the
platform was finally adopted by vote of
Sl2a to 1l0a.
The free silver men then entered pro-
tests, and twenty-one delegates, repre-
senting the purely silver States, left the
convention, announcing the severance of
their relations with the Republican
party.
The only entire delegation that with
drew were those of Colorado and Idaho.

rs IT ILLEGAL2

Widespread Opposition to an Order Regu-
lating the Sale of Fireworks Under
an Old Blue Law.
The people of Orange, this State, who
sell fireworks, are up in arms over an
order by the Chief of Police, that store
keepers must not sell fireworks of any
kind until July 3rd.
July 3rd and 4th they are allowed to
sell. The law under which the Chief is
acting, was passed in 1885. 1t is section
9th of the State Laws of New Jersey, and
the title is as follows:
"An act to prevent the vending, burn
ing or exploding of firecrackers, squibs,
turpentine balls or fire serpents."
The law says that violaters may be
fined $40 and costs. Lawyers who have
looked up the statue, question seriously
whether it can be enforced, and it will be
tested by some of the merchants of
Orange.
The dealers of Bridgeton are agitating
the same thing as their Orange brethren,
and it seems here that the law should be
enforced against the person shooting the
dangerous firecracker, not the person
who sells them. Many packs of fire.
crackers are bought in Philadelphia at
retail and shot off in this city.
An ordinance passed can prohibit the
exploding of these dangerous fireworks,
but whether person can be fined,
legally, for selling is a question that will
probably be considered by persons who
are dealers in fireworks in this city.

FELL DEAD.

Captain Neal johnson, While Ascending
the Stairs, is Stricken Dead.
Captain Neal Johnson, at Greenwich
Piers, was stricken dead on Saturday
night last. Mr.. Johnson was retiring for
the night, and while ascending the stairs.
was seized with heart failure, and fell
dead.
During the day, Saturday, deceased
was nearly overcome by the extreme
heat, and felt badly during the evening,
but little thought that his death was so
near.
Mr.. johnson was wealthy vessel ow-
ner, and for several years kept the large
general merchandise store, which burned
down at Greenwich Piers year or two
ago.
He was also large oyster shipper, and
well known in shipping circles in Phila-
delphia. He was one of the lead
ing and influential inhabitants of Green
wich township, and owner of several
new houses built at Greenwich Piers.
He was twice married, his second
wife surviving him. He also leaves an
aged mother, who is prostrated over the
sudden takieg off of her son, who was
her sole support. 1t is feared that she
will not survive the shock.
Mr.. johnson was a genial person and
had hosts of friends, always ready to
help person who was needy of it, and
liked by everybody who had dealings
with him.
John Holmes came to Bridgeton and
notified County Physician Thompson;
Pierce d CARL were also notified.

DOings of the Day.

ST. LOUIS, Jnne 1S-The nomination of
William Mckinley as the Republican
candidate for President of the United
States was effected a little after o'clock
this afternoon by a vote amounting to
more than two-thirds of the whole men,
bership of the convention. 1t is given in
detail elsewhere in the account of the
convention. The total of 6614 shows the
striking accuracy of all the estimates
made by the Mckinley managers. 1t
exceeds by very few votes the conser-
vative figures they have given out in the
past two days, which have never gone
below $40.
When the convention met at 10 o'clock
this morning, it was determined by the
Ohio people to keep the convention in
session, if possible, until a nomination
was made. They had the full support of
all McKinley's friends in their purpose.
1t seemed likely to be defeated at one
time by the persistence of the free silver
men, who having concluded to go out of
the convention adopted every means they
could to retard the proceeding. They re-
ceived two calls of the roll on their issue
with the Republican party, when one had
sufficiently settled their case. They had
nothing to hope from dozen calls of that
character. But the convention was full
Of good nature, and so was all the vast
crowd, looking on from the outside seats
and the galleries. While anxious to get
along with the proceedings they took
everything in good heart.
Enthusiasm Over Mckinley.
The time for the nominating speeches
having arrived, the great gathering
showed its real enthusiasm for the first
time. Those who have been remarking
the absence of that very excellent quality
in Republicanism must have been finally
convinced that it is still there. Rarely
has any similar scene in a national con-
vention equaled the one witnessed this
afternoon in all the incidents attending

Garret A. Hobart.

1t was known in advance that some
OF the silver men would withdraw. The
scenes surrounding the act had elements
of pathos. Senator Teller had fought as
a Republican for forty years. He is pro-
foundly mistaken, but he is honest and
sincere in his conviction, and he could
not leave the associations of his life with
out deep emotion.
The convention had little regard for
some OF the lesser lights, but it had sim
cere respect for Senator Teller. 1t saw
him go with sorrow, but it never faltered
in its purpose. 1t had determined that
the Republican party must save the cause

self to this mission with the same reso-
lutte and unfiinching courage.
1t was great day also in the complete
and majestic triumph of popular rule
! within ,iie party. AS Chairman Thurs.
ton aptfy put it in his happy refrain;
This is the year Of the people,
The boss combination was defeated
and overwhelmed at every point. The
Republican people of the country have
ruled this convention. They have made
the ticket, the platform and the fight, and
theirs is the victory. Mckinley has
from the first been the peoples candidate
and he and his managers have marched
resistlessly, because they had the people
behind them.
The ticket gives great satisfaction.
Hobart is widely known among public
men, and is highly esteemed for his
ability and quality.
The nominating speeches were of a high
order. Foraker was virile, effective and
taking, as he always is. Lodge was clean
cut, classic and polished. Hastings was
rugged, robust and direct, and heard per-
haps better than any of the others.
Depew was thoroughly Depew and had
flavor of humor, which seemed to fit
the situation in which he found himself.
The days work was the enkindling in
auguration of what will be great cam
paign, magnificent victory and the en-
trance of the country upon new era.

Grand Masters Visitation.

On Monday evening Grand Master
Workman Edward H. Colyer, of New
ark, Ancient Order United Work
men, paid and official visit to Myrtle
Lodge, No. 33, Bridgeton. Grand Master
Colyer was accompanied by Walter Sell
lers, of Camden, District Deputy Grand
Master.
There was large gathering of the
brethren to receive them at the lodge
room in Miners building, where the dis
tinguished visitors were received with
the grand honors.
The Grand Master Workman addressed
the membership on the duty of the hour,
and, in an argumentative manner CAV e
many reasons to establish the fact that
the Ancient Order has accomplished more
than all other fraternal societies COM
bined in the magnitude of it's beneficiary
and the strength of its membership. Few
can realize, said he, what an organization
the Ancient Order is. It's membership
exceeds 100000, and by the close of the
, year it will have expended seventy
millions of dollars in the line of protec-
ton for the widows and orphans of de-
ceased brothers. 1t is the oldest and most
successful, and the best beneficiary order
in existence.
District Deputy Sellers also made an
excellent address, calling attention to the
work of the Order in the State and what
had been brought about during the past
five years. He closed his remarks by
giving an exposition of the committee
work of the Order in its new form.
Past Grand Master Workman I. T..
Nichols, followed in speech of corrob-
oration of what the Grand Master had
said, concluding with congratulation of
the Grand Master for the successful tour
of the State, which he is now making,
and the earnest work he is doing for the
advancement of the Order in the New
Jersey jurisdiction.
At the conclusion of the speeches there
was an enjoyable social OF the brethren,
and afterward an adjournment to brother
Monroe Ogden's restaurant, where re-
past was served.
Grand Master Colyer left for his New
ark home Tuesday morning, much de-
lighted with his visit

Samuel Bassett & Co. will have their

this week. Fires will put under the fur
mace about the 25th, Mr.. Bassett informs
us, and soon after this blowers will COM
mence work.
This factory will have new device for
furnishing air for the blowers. 1t has
always been puzzle to manufacturers to
arrange something that would give the
overs more air. This factory has a
,rdivant blower, put in by Philadel-
phla firm, which promises to do the work
satisfactorily.
The pipes are so constructed that it
distributes air evenly, and is the same at
end outlet as it is at the other outlets.
There are thirty-inch outlets and thirty
or feet of pipe between them and takes
the wind direct from the big fan. Most
factories take their wind from what they
call wells, large ones, of course, getting
more wind than the smaller ones. The
fan is five feet in diameter, and the pad
dies are twenty inches broad. The Com
pany guarantees them to give satisfaction
and there is every reason to believe they
will, remarked Mr.. Bassett to PIONEER
representative.
The factory will run all summer. The
firm have big orders to fill and enough
already to keep them running all sum-
mer, Their manufacture will be mostly

The leavetaking was accompanied by
cheers and patriotic singing and was not
materially dramatic.
The combination for Vice President ut
terly collapsed. The control of the con-
vention by the friends of Mckinley was
complete and the result is regarded with
general satisfaction. The convention
was in continuous session from 10 O'Clock
till nearly O'Clock at night.
Thrilling Scenes.
ST. Louis, June 1S.-This has been an
epoch-making day. The convention has
not merely made history, but made mem
orable history. Few convention days
since the great moral uprising against
slavery have been so significant and mo-
mentous in the large and historic sense.
1t has been as dramatic in it's form as
1t has been creative and inspiring in it's
import. Some of the scenes were thrill
ing. No witness could fail to feel the
pulse, beat faster and the blood leap
quicker and every instinct of patriotic
pride and manhood all aglow as he
watched and realized the full meaning OF
what he saw.
The Republican party has arisen to
heights worthy of its most glorious days.
1t has shown the highest courage, con-
science and conviction. Its spirit and
its action have been heroic. The conven-
ton had great work to do, and through
out its session to-day it was marked by
the grim determination, the lofty pur-
pose and the self-centered, self-poised
confidence in its own position which gave
it its greatest triumphs.
