After Intense Suffering, He Passes Away
Friday Night.

After Intense Suffering, He Passes Away
Friday Night.
Benjamin F. Barton, son of Fred Bar
ton, of Broad street, died Friday night at s
O'Clock. Death followed an illness that
has been most severe, and awful pain
has been most heroically borne.
Mr.. Barton had just passed manhood's
estate. He was a printer, and for some
time had charge of the job department +
the PIONEER. He has long been con
nected with this office, and has been one
of its most faithful and earnest employees.
The young man was most exemplary
in life, and in every way was self made.
He was most earnest in all his purposes
AMI accomplished much. He was an
active, consistent member of Trinity M.
E. Church He was a member of the
Official Board, being one of it's progressive
Stewards. He also was an ardent worker
in the Sunday School. He was member
of Welcome Council, No. As, Jr. O. U. A,
NJ, and Ahwahneeta Tribe of Red Men.
For years he has been in i'll health. and
two years or more since, suffered an at
tack that was nearly fatal. He recovered
somewhat, until four weeks ago he was
obliged to leave his employment, and has
since been confined to his bed. He suf-
fered from Bright's disease. Due notice
of the funeral appears elsewhere.

Rose, Cohansey street, with pushing her
off the step of the Mill street residence
and hurting her severely. Joseph, ac-
cording to his mothers Mrs. Rose) story.
has been calling on Sadie for long time,
and he frequently stayed very late, so
that his mother had to go after him. In
fact he had forsaken his mother for the
frivolous Sadie with her many charms.
Last Wednesday evening joseph was
at the Mill street domicile and his mother
went after him. Sadie grew indignant,
and after a war of words pushed her off
the step
In the Justices court after the evidence
was heard, Squire Nichols held Sadie
under 5000 bail for the Grand jury,

ROBERT DUBOIS DEAD.
"A Wen Known Bridgetonian Passes Away
Monday Afternoon.

monday AIUernOOns
There were few persons in our COM
munlty better known than was Mr..
Robert Dubois, who passed peacefully
away from the stirring scenes of life,
soon after noon of 4th of July.
Born in this city II years ago, last
November, he has always lived among
us, and been deeply interested in, if not
always identified with, all movements
that pertain to our municipal and local
progress. No truer or braver man ever
lived. Firm in his convictions of right
he showed the courage of those convic-
tions in the face of the strongest opposi-
ton, and hence commanded the respect
of those who differed with him. He was
one of the most patriotic and loyal sen
we ever knew, and in the days of the
Rebellion, while prevented from render
ing service in the field, he rendered in
valuable aid in other respects.
In the earlier years of his manhood, in
connection with his surviving brother,
jeremiah, Mr.. Dubois successfully con-
Quoted the woolen manufacturing busi-
ness, in East Bridgeton, then called Mill
town, under the firm name of r. d J.
Dubois. During the war the handsome
buildings known as the East LAX ke
Woolen Mills, were built by them, and
operated for few years, when the firm
became incorporated, and Mr.. Dubois
became its president and manager.
Reverses incident to the close of the war
followed, and after number of years of
faithful work Mr.. Dubois retired from
manufacturing, and entered upon the real
estate and insurance business, in which
he has been diligently engaged since
1885.
1t has been more than fifteen years
since Mr.. Dubois retired from the leader
ship ofthe First Presbyterian choir, which
position he held for about twenty years,
beginning with 1861. He possessed not
only fine voice but was a remarkably
fine conductor, bringing this now we'll
known choir up to high standard of ex-
cellence, handing it over to the present
able choristor, his son-in.la law, Mr.. Thos.
R. Janvier.
In his home life and in his more in
innate associations of his large family
relationship, Mr.. Dubois was best known
and loved. He was intelligent, kind,
sympathetic and unselfish, keeping him
self in the background and coming for
ward only to do kindness to friend or
neighbor. Five children survive him,
one dying in infancy. Those who sur
vive are Elizabeth wife of C. J. Buck;
Sarah. wife of Frank G. Brewer, of Bos-
ton; Robt. Jr., of New York; Harriet,
wife of T. r. Janvier, and Harry, now of
Boston. The funeral will be on Thurs
day next, from his late residence, on East
avenue. in which he took great pride and
where he has lived tor more than a quar-.
ter of a century,

NEW JERSEY TROOPS.

Volunteers From South Jersey Will Row
Have an Opportunity.
TRENTON, July Ex-Governor Voorhees,
was at the State House day. While
he has not yet officially designated all
the companies that will make up the
regiment of infantry under the second
call he has practically reached de-
cision in the matter. Besides the
three Trenton companies and the
Morris Guards of Atlantic City, al
ready accepted, there will be six COM
panies from Jersey City, secured by
massing the existing companies of
the Fourth Regiment, one company
from Camden and combination
company made up from Wood bury
and Vineland. The men will prob
ably not report at Sea Girt until the
latter part of this week or the early
part of next.
medical commission to examine the
prospective surgeons of the new regi-
ment, who in turn will examine the
men. The Governor named DIR.
Decker, a homeopath, on the COM
ission. This is resented by allopaths,
who are inducing the old school ply
sitions not to go before the commits
mission. The Governor was at first
disposed to stand his ground, but in
order to avoid delay he will probably
withdraw DR.. Decker's name and ap.
point some one else.
The Governor has not yet announced his
selection of officers for the new regi-
ment.
