MRS. B. 4. MINOH DEAD.
After Serious Illness She Dies Thursday
Morning.

Morning.
Thursday morning Mrs. Mary E., wife
of Hon. Bloomfield H. Minch died after
an illness of long time, at her beautiful
home on West Commerce street.
Mrs. Minch was one of the most popu-
lar of the young ladies of this city and
there is general sorrow at the death of the
young woman, at a time when she should
have been in the flush of happy WIFE
hood, enjoying life that few are per-
mitted to obtain. A charming woman,
devoted to home, adored by her little
family circle, admired and beloved by
very wide circle of friends, it seems cruel
was being so richly spent.
Mrs. Minch has long been ill, serious
cold resulting in dread consumption,
which has fast been sapping her life, and
amid the anguish of those who wor-
shipped her she passed to the reward
awaiting her for the sweet, pure, Christian
life she has always lived. A bright ex-
ample to the bright little boy and girl
she left behind her.
Only recently little babe, her young
est child, preceded her to the unknown
beyond, and now with the departure of
mother there is a gloom and despair at
that West Commerce street home, that
can only be lightened by the glorious
thought of the eternal peace and happi-
ness she has acquired, and the hope of the
reunion, where partings are never
more.
How much sympathy goes out to the
bereaved husband, little ones and rela-
tives, can never be expressed, but it's
sincerity cannot be doubted.
Mrs. Minch was formerly Miss Mary
e. Rebeau, of Camden, and she was but
thirty-one years of age at time of death.
Her marriage with Mr.. Minch was So
ciety event, and she was warmly
welcomed to this the home which she has
but short time been permitted to enjoy
The mother of three children, two of
whom are living, she became devotedly
attached to home and family and was a
queen in her household sphere. How
much she has suffered during these
months of illness cannot be imagined. AL
ways calm, peaceful and uncomplaining
she cheered the weary watchers of her
family, and had an abiding faith that she
would ultimately recover.

Strengthening Our Coast.

Capt. j. c. Ayars, of the Ordinance De-
partment, U. S. A., has been making a
thorough examination of available places
on the New Jersey coast for its defense,
under instructions from the United States
War Department. In case of war the
New Jersey coast would no doubt be a
direct point of attack. 1t is believed that
Captain Ayres will submit to the depart
ment plan for the building of torpedo
batteries and forts at intervals along the
coast.

SAD DROWNING.
A Fourteen Year Old Boy Loses His Life
by venturing Upon Thin Ice at
Seeleys Pond, Near Green

At Seeley's pond, at the head of Green
wich, Monday, there was an unfortu-
nate accident which resulted in the death
of Frederick T. Hunt, the fourteen year
old son of Thomas E. Hunt, of Green
wich.
The young boy has been afflicted for
years and he was never permitted to go
anywhere unless accompanied by some
body, and when he expressed a desire
Monday to enjoy skating he was per-
mitted to go with colored hired man,
who for some time had been in Mr..
Hunts employ. The pair left the farm
house shortly after eleven o'clock, and
reaching the pond the boy was first upon
the ice.
The hired man was engaged in putting
on his skates, and happening to look
over the ice he was surprised tc find that
the boy had disappeared.
Apprehensive, the fellow Immediately
ran out on the ice and found that the boy
had skated on thin ice and was strug-
Cling in the icy water. The negro went
to his aid unmindful of his own danger,

he reached for the boy. AS he did so he
too was precipitated into the icy elements,
and was soon struggling for his life
Manfully and heroically he continued his
efforts to save the boy, and all the while
he was crying loudly for help. But the
man could not hold the boy longer to the
surface, and he sank beneath the ripples
and was drowned.
Meanwhile dog at the Hunt farm had
heard the cries for help, and was barking
furiously. This attracted the attention of
a daughter, who went out to see the dog
and then it was she heard the distant
halo for help. Quickly notifying her
father, who ran with all haste to the pond,
and was there just in time to save the
the man from drowning, and much effort
was expended before he was resuscitated.
The boy was found standing upright
in the mud upon the bottom of the pond,
his head being scarcely covered with
water.

Tuesday Morning.


A typical winter morning. Snow in the
air and a crisp, frosty air biting at the
noses and ears. The people coming from
the country, journeying to the Court
House were well wrapped up, and yet
shaking from the cold.
The steam was kissing from the bronze
registers when the crowds entered, and
yet there was something of chill pre-
vailing about the brick walls. But when
the rooms were crowded and the aisles
filled there was more cheerful scene,
| and there seemed to be good deal of in
terest taken in the proceedings.
There were many persons present with
bronzed faces, which indicated that they
were oystermen, and in fact they were.
Hundreds of them, all interested in the
case that was likely to be called as soou
as the Grand Jury was sent out.
There were many attorneys present.
| Those at the table were Col. VIM. E. Pot
ter who had one side of the oyster case,
and Walter H. Bacon and ex-Judge
Pancoast, who had the other side. All of
them had stacks of paper about them and
seemed ready and anxious for the legal
fray that is to mean so much to the peo-
pie of the county and Southern Jersey.
There were large number of persons
present who held bits of papers which
subpHned them to appear before the
Grand Jury, and they were waiting until
the Grand Inquest was named and they
should be called for down stairs.
1t was just ten o'clock when the men,
bers of the court arrived. Judge Lud-
low was first to come in, and he was at
tended by Law Judge Hoagland and Lay
Judges Hendee and Ludlam.
AS soon as they were seated Clerk
Clevenstine opened the several courts
with the usual proclamation, and the list
of constables was called. Then the fol-
lowing Grand Jurors were returned by
Sheriff Shinn and called.
