OYSTER ASSOCIATION.
The Executive Committee Unanimopslv
Reelected and the Association in
Good Shape.


Never has there been a more har-
monious gathering than that of yester-
day at the annual meeting of the
Delaware Bay and Maurice River Cove
oyster Association. 1t was a large
gathefing and every body was thoroughly
interested IN the proceedings.
Ihere was absolutely no contentious of
any sort. A resolution was unanimously
passed requesting Senator Stokes and
Assemblyman Hunt and Shropshire to
pass the bill prepared by the committee
and offered in the Senate by Stokes.
Inc resolution was authorized to be sent
to the three representatives.
another cause for copgratulation was
the manner in wsich the tonnage tax had
been collected The counsel for the AS
soclation and the special officer had
given this matter especial attention and
there were very few delinquents.
Inc annual statement of the Associa-
ton, which will appear in full in these
columns tomorrow, was presented, and
showed healthy condition of affairs.
Duflug the year the tonnage tax received
NtA-Ooi'eSt W TO;tto.fS AQQ6U TO LDlS,
sI2f.1o, balance left over from the wear
previous, aggregated SS,57657. The ex-
penses OF the year foot up S7.90S.41, leav-
ing balance on hand Of S66s.l By far
the greater proportion of this money was
spent in properly patrolipg the Bay and
protecting the oysters.
The Executive Committee of last wear
was unanimously re- elected, an unpre-
cedented bit of history. Capt. Benjamin
Campbell was reelected Collector with
out contest.
| After the meeting the Executive Com
mittee, Messrs Harrison Hollenger, Rich.
ard Sheppard, Charles McLain, w. w
Cosier and William T. Whitaker, went
into session. Mr.. HollInger was agair
made Chairman and William McLair
Secretary.
| Walter Fl. Bacon was again choser
counsel for the association, for the fftt
| consecutive time.
The feeling prevailed all during the
| meeting that oystermen were getting
nearer together than they had been for
years, and all argued that it indicated a
| degree of prosperity for the future.

The Sentences Pronounced.

character
The Sentences Pronounced.
\ There were good many people present
70 near the sentences pronounced. Some
now 1t seemed to be in the air that Judge
Hoagland meant to make an example of
some of these people, but the three SEN
tences to State Prison were scarcely ex
pccted.
Andrew Hendrickson was first called,
The Judge said that Hendrickson's father
had confessed his inability to take care of
him, and he having been several times
before the Court previously, he was
ordered to the Reform School.
Little Jerome Hewitt Jared better, 1t
was his first trouble, and his father, who
was in the Court room, thought he could
care for him in the future. Sentence was
suspended.
Rebecca Sherry must pay fine of S25
ana costs for selling liquor. So must
Warren Joslin. The Court tod them that
it was their first trip before him and he
would be light, but another offense and
the blow would be heavier.
Lydia Ford had pleaded guilty. to the
same crime, and her fine was $50 with
costs and warning added.
Charles Lee hen took the bitterest dose
up to that time. His had been a gam
bling hell, and the sentence was six
months in the County Jail.
Moses and Anna Braunstein stood nm.
Judge Hoagland said he had adiudged
them guilty and each was sentenced to
one year in State Prison at hard labor.
Anna smiled in an indifferent manner,
Moses stared hard with his neck still
bent. then slipped down into his chair
Sadie Heintz was the last to have the
Judge talk to her. She evidently feared
something heavy would drop and stood
as II brdced for it. AT first she was in.
different, or at least tried to look so, bur
ste was so scared she couldn't conceal it
A year in State Prison was her fate
She made great effort to smile, but hel
lips twitched and she seemed as if about
to cry. Then the disconsolate ones were
taken TO Jail.
AS Sadie was going out she was inter-
cepted by her mother. Both women en-
braced each other and sobbed aloud.
When Sadie got in Jail she broke down
completely. She cried for her mother
aid her sobs turned to shrieks as she be
came hysterical. She declared she coulC
not live year in the barred prison, anc
unless somebody changed the awful yer
dict she would die.
The other sentenced prisoners all
locked solemn, excepting Anna Braun
stein and Lee. They laughed as if it was
all a huge Joke.

Railroad Accident.

AS the $50 train out on the w. J. & 8.
r. R., Tuesday, neared the Ferracute
Works, a brakeman on box car, which
was on the siding, was about to let it
loose and run down to where it was to be
put in the position wanted. The track
was wet and slippery, and just as the
passenger train passed, the freight car ran
on the track, and struck the near end of
passenger coach, MASKING it somewhat.
Several passengers in the coach were
shaken up considerably, but no one in
jured. The freight car was thrown from
the track. The damage done the passen-
ger coach did not hinder the car from
going on to Camden, where it will be re-
paired. The wrecking crew were set to
work TO put the box car back on the track.

NO LICENSE COMMISSION.
Bridgeton Will Not Get the Proposed
Board Now.

Brideeton Will Not Get the Proposed
Board Now.
There will be no license commission in
Bridgeton during the administration of
affairs by the present City Council.
Every member of that body has spoken
and their individual views are known.
The advocates of license have felt sure
that they could get an ordinance through
Council authorizing the appointment of
board. 1t takes two-thirds vote. That
would mean ten. Some of the license
men claim that nine would be sufficient,
but the law provides for two-thirds
vote, and nine is not two-thirds of thir
teen.
Interviews with members of Council
indicate that the proposed ordinance cam
not be carried. Messrs. Matthews. Wood
nut, Stevenson, Blew and higgins state
positively that under no consideration
will they vote for an ordinance to create
such board There may be others. Not
one of the members are favorable to
license with one exception, but some of
them feel that the question should be
taken out of Council and the people given
a vote directly upon the issue.

Fire at the Glsssworks,

The shrill shrieking of the fire whistle
of the Cumberland Glass Co, Friday
night, awakened the residents the NORTH
ern section of the city. who witnessed a
brilliant blaze in the direction of the glass
works. 1t was about one O'Clock when
the platform around the gas producers
was discovered to be on fire. There was
a hurried call for the fire brigade of the
works. Hose was quickly attached, and
the engine started. After fighting the
fire for little while the engine was dis
abled, and the fighters had to depend on
the stream from the plug which was
rather weak. After two hours tussle
with the stubborn flames, they were
finally subdued. 1t was very fortunate
the fire was discovered when it was, as it
might have reached the gas tank. The
loss was about $500. No general fire
alarm was turned in. The company re-
lied ON its own efficient brigade
