BROKEN HEARTED.
Prof. VIM. L. Shinn Dies After Months nj
Persecution.

froI. VIM. L. Shinn Dies After Months OF
Persecution.
Prof. William L. Shinn. died Monday
at his home on Magnolia avenue aged "a
years. The circumstances surrounding
his death are most pathetic.
Prof. Sh1nn came to Bridgeton more
than ayear ago, possibly two, and as
sumed charge OF the Bridgeton Business
College, and had large, fiourishing
school. Mr.. Shinn was an accomplished
scholar, but rather eccentric and he had
some trouble with some of the pupils.
Among other differences he had was
one with young lady, of Church
street. He accused her of taking a
book from the college, and she promptly
brough suit against him slander. Her
case was put in the hands of Lawyer
Charles E. Sheppard. Shinn was ar
rested by Special Deputy Sheriff George
watkins upon cdpios and confined in
jail Tor few hours when he secured bail
and was released. The suit was for
damages.
The case was to have been tried in the
october term of Court, but was not
reached. In January, Lawyer j. L. Van
Syckel strenously endeavored to have
the case moved. He explained that Mr..
Shlnn's school was broken up and he
could not find employment here. He had
advantageous offers elsewhere but could
not go away lowing to the objection OF some
OF his bondsmen. Notwithstanding this
plea, the case could not be reached and
broken hearted, discouraged poor Shinn
prepared to exc out an existence until
the May term.
He was naturally delicate, and having
nothing to do, and no income, lacked the
necessary things of life, and he fell ill
becoming rapidly worse. In the home
without any comforts he lay. The
furniture disappeared piece by piece tc
bring in something to eat, and later days
found the home almost stripped. Poor
Shinn lay on lounge, there was no bed
His wife slept in a chair, while his child's
| crib was clothes basket. The whole
family thus breathed on, slowly starving
to death. Kind hearted neighbors learn
ed something of their condition and gave
them such assistance possible. Con
tributions were taken up for them il
some shops about town, but death fasten
ed his grip upon Shinn and he passed
away.
The friends Of Shinn feel that he wa,
prosecuted to the grave and feel deer
sympathy for his afflicted wife and child

FARMERS OPPOSE HIGH SCHOOLS
Hot Fight in vineland to Cut Down the
Appropriations.


VINELAND, n. j., March 6.-At the
call of the Citizens Committee an excit-
ing mass meeting was held yesterday to
discuss the movement which is now on
foot to reduce excessive taxes by making
big cut in public school appropriations.
1t is proposed to abolish the eleventh and
twelfth grades and manual training de-
partment, lower the salaries of the teach
ers, and do away with the school super
intendent. whose salary is $1,000 per year.
The farmers claim that the only bene-
ficiaries of the higher grades are the we'll
to- do residents of the town. A hot fight
was waged last year for the reduction of
school appropriations, but the high
school standard party won by seven
votes. AT the mass-meeting last night it
was decided, after heated discussions, to
recommend to the voters the appropria-
tions maintaining the present high STAN
| dard of the schools.

seen.
The mAsqueraders soon took charge
OF the house and held full sway. Their
costumeswere grotesque in the extreme.
Among the more hideous ones were
Frank Harding, of Millville, and Miss
Sallie Durham, of this city, who were
dressed ahd acted Uncle Peter and Aunt
Eliza, carrying out the negro dialect all
through. Robert Harker distinguished
himself ab young lady, having a COM

CITY COUNCIL.
Our City Fathers Found Little to Occup,
Their Time.

Our City Fathers Found Little to Occupy
Their Time.
Tuesday nights session of City Council
lasted less than an hour, and the business
TO be considered was speedily disposed
of.
y The members were all in their seats ex-
cepting Mr.. Marts, of the Second ward.
The minutes of last meeting were read
and approved, and after the confirmation
of one or two building and repair per-
mits Council took up and passed the cur
rent bills for the last month.
Chairman Bacon reported that the in
surance on the Bank Street School prop
erty was about expired, and the Board of
Education had been called upon to pay it.
As no appropriation had been made by
that body for it's payment the bill was SUBJ
mitted TO Council for payment. He
therefore made the motion that Council
pay the bill for reinsurance, amounting
to $500, which was passed.
Orders were directed to be drawn in
favor of
John s. Turner, Supt. Schools $4,000
James Neal, driver, 40
Board OF Health, 200
G. M. Dubois, Supervisor, so
The consideration of the Ordinance
providing for clearing snow off sidewalks
was laid over till the regular meeting in
April.
The proposed ''Curfew" ordinance was
also laid over to the regular meeting in
April.
The term of Joseph H. Powell having
expired as member of the Board OF
Health from the Third ward, the election
OF succession was ordered.
w. III. Ballenger was nominated by
Councilman Elmer. There being no
other nominations the roll was called and
Mr.. Ballenger was unanimously elected
for s,ur years.
IT,. Woodruff, of the Third ward, re-
ported on the matter of taking care of the
4 water which ran down Lincoln street
upon the meadows of the South Jersey
Institute. The subject had been referred
to the Councilman of the ward, with
power to act.
Mr.. Woodruff said the Councilmen had
conferred with I. w. Mulford, who
owned the property over which the
water might be diverted, and he offered
the proposal that the water to pass over
his property, the city must extend and
open Lincoln street to the river, and curb
and gutter it.
To do this, and construct sewer as
would be needed, the ward Councilman
estimated the icost would exceed $500,
and they declined to accept the offer of
Mr.. Mulford and reported the matter
back to Council.
The report was accepted and in motion
of Mr.. Elmer, the committee was dis
charged.
There being no further business Coun-
Gil adjourned.

He was Discharged.

William Werchyski, one of the sup
posed horse thieves who have been oper-
ating between this section of Jersey and
the lower end OF Maryland, was to have
been given hearing Wednesday and the
Maryland witnesses who had caused his
arrest were notified to be present. They
are Daniel Weber, of Bengies, and w. H.
Walters, of Middle River, Maryland.
They declined to come at the last moment
unless their expenses were paid before
starting, and Prosecutor Logue, disguised
at their action, discharged Werchyski.
