ATTHE THEATERS.
An Enthusiastic Audience Listened TO
Mayor McGunness' Speech.

Considering the great attractions OF the
streets and bulletin boards the patronage
at the various theaters was oStraordi-
nRrily good. This was due to the fact
that a great many interested knew that
reliable news would not be forthcoming
until late and the theateIs would be a
good place TO pass the time. Election re-
turns were read from the several stages
and the comedians gave national and
local political significance 10 their
comedy work by amusing illusions TO
what was going on. The Columbia Thea
ter had the advantage Of position, being
on the highway from the city's big high
ways to Infantry hall, where the city
committee were entertaining guests.
They dropped I'm to see the show and
Mayor McGuinness and many other city
officials and can pdidates sat serene, conf
dent OF ndorsement by the great mass OF
independent voters. Every seat in the
thester was occupied and the midnight
performance was big success.
At the conclusion OF the performance, the
audience rose en mGsse and gave three
rousing cheers and tiger for Mayor Nc
Guinness; and the Mayor. after several
times bowiDg his acknowledgements
made speech and said: "Gentlemen
and ladies': l thank you most heartily

A Choice Musicale,

A number of ladies and gentlemen were
present by invitation Tuesday in the
West Presbyterian Church to listen to
short musical program, consisting of sew
eral vocal selections rendered by Mr.. w.
III. Harding, with Rev. l.. E. Coyle as the
organ accompanist. Mr.. James Lang
also took part in the entertainment,
which was of a particularly enjoyable
character and was highly appreciated by
those who were fortunate enough to be
present.
Mr.. Harding has won an enviable repu-
tation as singer, his first formal intro
duction to Bridgeton audience being at
the last Musical Union concert, where his
admirable work is so we'll known as to
require no further allusion. His voice is
phenomenally strong one and has a
wide range, while at the same time it
shows evidence of careful training and
cultivation. He sings with ease, accuracy
and expression and is equally at home in
both the higher and lower registers though
it is perhaps in the latter that his notes
are heard to the best advantage.
Mr.. Coyle presided at the organ in his
usually mastery manner. Altogether
the performance was most admirable
one and excited nothing but favorable
comment from the audience many of
them musicians and we'll qualified to
pass an opinion upon the merits of the
work

Fine Glassworks,

The Elmer Times thus speaks of the
new glassworks of s. M. Bassett that are
being erected in that place:
AT the new glass house, work is pro-
crossing finely. Adam Handle, who has
been in charge of the carpenter work for
Contractor Steelman, of Bridgeton. has
the building very near completion. A
cost of brown paint has been put on the
outside. The engine is in place, ovens,
furnace and lehrs have been put up and
the immense fan which is to supply air
for the draught is ready for work. A
system of overhead piping connected
with the fan is said to be an improve
ment on anything heretofore put in oper-
alton in this State. The main pine which
receives the air from the fan is perhaps
two feet in diameter. This is tapped by
numerous smaller pipes leading under
the furnaces and lehrs and is also ar
ranged to furnish cool air to the blowers
SO they will not suffer so much with heat
IN hot weather. Coal, soda, box boards
and other material have arrived and fire
will likely be built next week to temper
the furnaces. Those competent to pass
an opinion say that the factory will be
one OF the most convenient in the State,n

MONDAY WEDDING.
hev. Francis s. Hort and Miss Martha
II. Janvier Married Wednesday in

Ner Marr1eu wednesday In
Church.
Amid the nodding, dainty daisies fresls
from the greenest fields, towering pure
white lilies and stately palms there was
pretty noon-time wedding Wednesday
IN the First Presbyterian Church.
In the large auditorium there were as
sembled very many of the best known
local society, together with those invited
guests from other places. The rich. beau
tiful costumes of the guests, the pretty
flowers, the bewitching costumes of the.
bride and bridesmaids, the delightful
flowers and the sweet inspiring harmony
from the large organ, served to make
scene impressive and beautiful.
1t was the wedding of Rev. Francis s..
Hort, pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
OF Ashland, Pa, son of Francis w. Hort,
OF this city, and Miss Martha r. Janvier,
the youngest daughter of Mrs. Mary E..
Janvier. of No. 2l9 East Commerce st.
Promptly at noon the bridal party en-
tered the church, and the ushers, Messrs.
Sydney E. Bowen, Hugh L. Reeves, of
this city, and Messrs. Martin and Nc
Graw, of Ashland, Pa, proceeded up the
wide centre aisle, and arranged the bright
ribbon boys, Whildon Janvier and How
ard Supplee. The ushers were in dress
coats, and the ribbon boys in costumes of
pure white.
! Returning to the entrance of the church,
the ushers led the wedding procession to
| the altar. Fisst the Maid of Honor, Miss
Mary F. Janvicr, followed by the brides
maids, Miss Edith Jones, of Newark, NJ.
j., and Miss Kate Hort, of this city. The
fair, young bride leaning upon the arm
of her brother, Henry Janvier, followed
those preceding her.
AS the altar was reached Mr.. Hort,
with his best man, Mr.. Gage, of Ashland,
Pa, crossed over from the side entrance,
and Mr.. Hort received the young lady
soon to be made his wife, from her bro
ther. The couple then faced Rev. s. w,
Beach, and with the pretty ring service
the couple were made husband and wife,.
Amid all the brightness and en-
thusiasm of the Mendelssohn wedding
march, as performed by Miss Florence
Woodruff, the wedding party turned,
swept happily down the aisle, were
handed in carriages, and whirled to the
home of the BRIDES mother.
The bridesmaids were dressed in organ
die. trimmed in pink, and each carried a
large bunch of varegated sweet peas.
Miss Janvier wore white silk, with
train and veil, and carried bunch of
white peas.
After the ceremony there was a de-
lightful reception at the East Commerce
street home, and this afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Hort will leave for a short trip, and
later will take up their residence in Ash
land.

Injuring the Innocent.

A few weeks ago young man in an
adjoining county was convicted of a
serious crime, brought before the bar of
justice, and sentenced to term of seven
years in the States Prison. He left be-
hind wife and family, who are respect
ed by wide circle of acquaintances and
friends. What can certain papers hope
to gain by referring to the case con-
tinually? The criminal having received
his sentence, and the law having been
satisfied, surely nothing can be gained
by these illusions, and they are blows
which fall heavily upon the heart of the
young wife and mother. Why should
any one add to the sorrow of the inno-
cent ones?

Stray Animals.

A person who takes up stray animal
must, within ten days, give notice to the
township clerk, who makes an entry of
the same; then he must advertise the ami
NAL in the local paper and sixty days af-
ter that advertisement has appeared he
can apply to the Justice of the Peace to
sell the animal. He issues a warrant for
the constable who gives ten days notice
by posters. and he then gets his expenses.
The penalty for taking a stray animal
and not giving notice is S., and besides
the owner can take it without paying
ANYTHING.
