OBITUARY..

WOODWARD WARRICK died at his home
in GlassbOro on Monday morning in the
85th year of his age. Mr. Warrick through
his whole life was prominent in the. bus
mess and social and political affairs of the
county. He was one of the original incor-
porators OF the Gloucester County Bank,
and from its beginning on January LIST, 1856,
until the organization of the First National
Bank of Glassboro, in 1888, was member
of the Board of Directors. He was the
first President of the Glassboro Bank, and
afterward director. He was President OF
the Mullica Hill Turnpike Company, and q
director of the Glassboro turnpike Com
pany. He represented the county in the
State Senate from 1867 to 1859. But he
was best known as the proprietor of the
window glass works at Temperanceville,
which SO long as he was able to manage
and conduct them, were among the
most successful glass works in the county.
He amassed comfortable fortune, and re-
tired from active business several years
ago. From that date the declines of
the business was rapid until his fortune
was swallowed up, and the works closed.
He was twice married, his first wife being
sister of the late Samuel Whitney, and
his second wife Delaware lady. who with
several children survives him. The funeral
is held to-day.

in these columns that the Town Meetings
of Mantua and Washington townships
refused to accept the reports of their respec-
tive Chosen Freeholders, and ordered them

wish you to insert in your valued paper
the following My report was itimized in
every particular. First, the amount of labor
and who did it, and what bridge it was
done on; the name and number of bridge,
the amount of carpenter work and who did
it, and where it was done. I gave account
of every stick of lumber, what size and
how much it cost, and on what bridge it
was used; gave account of every pound of
nails and the cost of same, and wish to
state that the report was accepted without
dissenting voice, and was congratulated
after it was read by no less than a dozen
persons as being the best report ever read
in our township.
Yours with respect

This town was pretty well shaken up at
1890 o'clock on Friday last by the ex-
plosion at Dupont's Powder works. The
force of the explosion broke windows,
threw dishes from shelves, and did more or
less damage all over the town. About
fifty men, residents of this place, work
there, most of whom are married, and their
wives and children were very much
shocked, the suspense being terrible until
| they could hear from their husbands,
fathers, etc. The telegraph and telephone
offices were crowded with anxious ones for
TWO hOuss when it was learned that Chas
| Wright and James Hamilton, two young
married men from here were blown to
atoms. Wright leaves wife aud one
child, Hamilton leaves a young wife and
no children. The other unfortunate was

remained of Hamilton was buried Monday
afternoon. The Red Men and employees
of the powder works turned out in force
Mr.. Wright was buried Tuesday morning
The remains were not seen, as the parts

New church Dedication.

In the presence of a large congregation
the new Methodist Episcopal church, on
Carpenter street, this city, was dedicated
last Sunday, the ritualistic exercises being
conducted by Bishop Grant, of Texas, as
sisted by Rey. Charles Yeccum, of Camden,
and Rev. A. H. Newton, the church's
pastor.
The new edifce is located on the cite OF
the old sanctuary, and is of red brick with
fancy trimmings.
1t is one-story high, and has seating
capacity in the main auditorium for 300.
The Sunday school and class-rooms are
tastefnli arranged and finished in hard
woods.
The erection Of the new house of worship
is due to the efforts of the present pastor
and few members of his congregation, who
have raised through personal efforts nearly
one-halt of the cost of construction, and
only few hundred dollars remain as an
incumbrance on the property.
The Rev. A. Fl. Newton is very popular,
having gained the esteem of all classes by
his devotion to his work, ability and cour-
teous bearing.

At meeting of the teachers OF the public
schools of Woodbury.. held on Monday,
March 20, we the undersigned, were APP
pointed a committee to express to the
family of Mr.. Milligan our heartfelt SYM

For months we have missed his kindly

time his health might be restored and he
could again resume his duties
Many of us have been associated with
him for years, not only as teachers, but as
pupils also, and can testify to his worth
and fully realize what we have lost.
We therefore speak for all in extending
to his family this feeble expression of our
sorrow, and praying that God abide with
them and comfort them in their loneliness
