Mahon lived with woman named Mary
Cook, on Kingzle's lane, and he went
around there to see if Harris was with
him.
When he knocked at the door, Mary
Cook answersed the call and stood with
her skirts well spread out. She told the
officer that Mcmahon wss not at the
house. So suspiciously did she act that
the consta BILE decided to have look back
of the skirts. He did, and was rewarded
by finding McMahon crouching back of
the woman. Harris was not there.
Constable Lore then took chance and
decided on searching the house. He
found whole lot of things. Hediscover-
ed. the chain that was attached to the
watch sold to uBois. He found the
dairy and box of pens stolen from David
T. Elmer. Then the officer placed Mary

in custody.
Mayor Appelgate will give the bunch a
hearing just as soon as possible.

1t is the intention of the Bridgeton and

people of Bridgeton ali the service that it
can.
The operation of the Atlantic street
line was determined upon when Supt.
Hires took charge. He at once had inter
views with the various members of the
Board of Freeholders concerning the
crossing of the bridge, and an under.
standing arrived at. The company will
place motor upon the bridge which will
make the opening and closing of the draw

There is considerable work to be done
on the Third Wsrd line to get it in proper
shape, but it is expected that service will
be given The public before Saturday.
There will be an earnest effort upon the
part of the people of the West side to have
the Third Ward line extended consider
ably and it is not unlikely that this will
be done at an early date, although nothing
has been determined upon as yet.

Illegal Be er Selling at Elmer.

ELMER, Aug. 6.-For five years John
M. Camp has been running bottling es-
tablishment in Pittsgrove township, ad-
jacent to the borough. Three weeks ago
he sold out to A. F. Haas, of Philadelphia,
who employed William Montague as an
assistant. 1t has been alleged at various
times that the owners of the property
were overstepping the bounds of the
Government license, which admits of the
sale of not less than two cases of beer to
each person. 1t has been impossible,
however, heretofore, to get sufficient tes-
timony to convict them Last Saturday
night Constable Carney, of Salem, sent
his son, in company with Joseph Berry,
to Haas's place, and he purchased six
bottles of beer, which they drank on the
premises. AS result, warrants were
sworn out for Haas, as proprietor, and
Montague, who waited on the customers.
Constable Garrison made the arrests and
the defendants gave bail.

was told in the PIONEER yesterday.
Inc evidence seems to implicate Me-

and Charles E. Bateman is also mixed up
with the thing. according to the statement
Of Mcmahon.
The watch was handed to VIM. Harris.
who, in turn, pawned it with Orrie Du-
bois. 1t was Kauffman's watch beyond
doubt. Mcmahon kept the chair which
was found in Mary Cooks house by Con-
stable Lore. McMahon says that Dan
Thomas gave him the watch. The Mayor
held McMahon for court.
Dan Thomas and Mary Cook have not
yet had their hearing. There are several
charges against the whole crowd.
Mcmahon claims that Charley Bateman
has been going around with Dan Thomas,
and he is held to answer for this suspic-
ious circumstance.
Some articles found in the house of
Mary Cook, Sunday, were yesterday
identified by Minch & Harris, as prop
erty stolen from their office.
1t looks as if Constable Lore had made
a ten strike in the matter, and had cap.
tured a pretty tough outfit. The October
term promises interesting results.

EDGAR LEE ASSAULTED,
Pretty Roughly Handled by a Crowd Mon
day NIGHT.

Monday, Edgar Lee, who lives at No
29O Cohansey street, was assaulted down
on the Fairton road and pretty roughly
handled. Lee had a son in Cedaryille.
and last night started down there on his
wheel to see him. When he neared Ro-
caps run he noticed some fellows ahead
OF him, but he expected to pass them
without incident.
He says that as he was passing tbem
one of the crowd called out with more or
less profane language, There goes the
fellow we are AFTER" and Lee was struck
on the head and knocked from his wheel
and his head and face badly gasbed
Wnlie he was upon the ground, he saws
ne was pretty severely kicked.
1t was pretty nearly dusk and Lee SAYS
he could not recognize his assailants. He
was assisted by two ladies from nearby
house and the blood washed from his
face, and later young man named Bates
helped him part way home.
Lee is a spare engineer by trade, and
came here some time since from Ring-
hampton, n. Y, and was employed for
awhile in the Cumberland Glassworks as
mason's helper. He is not working
there now. He has two boys who are
working there.
Since Lee has been in Bridgeton he
claims to have been threatened with yio-
lence number of times, and has had
more or less trouble in getting along,
Last Saturday night he alleges that he
with his wife, two sons and two fiauoh-
ter were out, and one OF his boys was at
tackled by crowd who called him
"scab." His mother attempted to defend
ner son and IN the melee she was OBJ
s-ructed by young man, against whom
complaint has been made for assault
and battery. Lee thinks that the assault
of last night, grew out of the Saturday
night disturbance.

DEADLY GAsOLING STOVE.
A Horrible Accident Yesterday After
noon

noon.
Last Tuesday, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Phifer, of Vineland, came over here and
nave been guests of Charles Esibell, or
Oak street. Accompanying them was
their twelve year old daughter, Ada
Mrs. Phifer is sister of Mr.. Esibell.
Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. Phifer went
back TO Vineland, and Mrs. Esibell ac-
companied them, leaving little Ada with
Cora, the thirteen year old daughter of
Charles Esibell. Mrs. Esibell was to
return last evening.
The two girls were busy all day about
the Oak street home, and seemed to be
enjoying the responsibilities of youne
housekeepers.
Late Wednesday afternoon the girls
made preparations for supper, and were
about to light the gasoline stove in the
shed, when the thunder storm came up.
The gasoline was turned on from the
tank, and before the burners were lighted.
frightful peal of thunder came, and very
much scared, the two girls hurried from
the house to the home of neighbor.
After the storm was over the two happy
children returned to the home of the
Esibell residence, and discovered that
the gasoline had been left running, and it
had dripped and trickled all over the
floor and about the stove.
Cora took in the situation at a glance.
and in business, housekeeper- way
began to mop up the oil and prepare for
another attempt to light the burner.
While Cora was thus engaged, the little
Phlfer girl thought the tank upon the
stove would have to be re-illed and she
got out can of gasoline and sat it upon
the stove. Cora did not notice this. and
without thinking it necessary to re fill
the tank, lighted one of the burners.
Immediately there were deadly flames
flashing from the stove, the open gasoline
can having fired.
The Phifer girl, frightened beyond all
sem mblance of self control, rushed right
through the flames to get into the house.
thinking only of safety, and in SO doing
dashed right in the midst of most horri-
BILE danger. Her clothing was fired, and
in twinkling she was a mass of horrible
AduloS, anu u6r wiz Slrl0kS startled the
usually quiet neighborhood People
rushed in, Mortified, but prompt; they
smothered the flames, but not before the
little body was ouiYering mass of horri-
bic burns.
In the meantime Cora. with presence
of mind creditable to woman of mature
years, had seized the burning can of gaso-
line, and hurled it into the yard, where it
spent lis force, and the flames that had so
cruelty seized upon the little girl, died
peacefully away, in marked contrast to
the savage manner they had caused so
much suffering and sorrow.
DR.. J. G. Appelgate hurriedly respond
ed to the call, and dressed the burned
body of the child, giving her such relief
as possible, and all last night the little
one moaned and suffered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phifer and Mrs. Esibell
were summoned from Vineland, and
hurriedly came here.
Little Cora, who so bravely threw the
dangerous, burning mass from the shed,
had her hands seriously burned.
