JOE WHEELER'S FOES
NOW AFTER HIS SEAT
Faction in the House Opposes
Veteran Soldiers Return to
His Old Position

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE opposition
to Gen. Wheeler's taking his seat as a
member of the House from Alabama,
is to be renewed by Representative
Bailey of Texas, whose resolutions last
year brought out a report from the
House judiciary committee, that mill
itary and a congressional Office could
not be held at the same time.
Gen. Wheeler is now in the Philip
pines, but it has been understood that
he would return to take his seat. The
sergeant at-arms has over $4,000 to the
credit of the Alabama member, cover
ing salary from March 4 last to date,
but Gen. Wheeler has not asked for the
amount, and has expressed an unwill-
ingness to sign the certificate usually
required of members in the settlement
of their accounts.
Considerable sums are also held for
Messrs. Campbell CID, Colson (Ky)
and Robbins Pa.), who served in the
last congress and also in the army. AS
the accounts of the old congress are
being closed, these latter sums were
last week turned back into the treas
ury.

PRAYED FOR RAIN
Water Officials of the City Anx-
i0uS for Water Supply

All day yesterday Water Commits
sioner John G.. Brady watched the
clouds and mentally prayed for rain, a
prayer in which he was Joined most
heartily by other city officials. Two or
three days, or "a hours even, of steady
downfall would relieve the present sit
uation amazingly, and according to Of
ficials place the city out of danger so
far as the present shortage is con-
cerned.
The present conditions, with con-
tinued warm weather, may result in
making the situation look better, but
as it is the supply is going down stead
lily. Several of the houses and a hy-
drant or two in the neighborhood Of
Apricot street, on the high land, are
practically without water, as the water
department has ceased to draw into
Parsons reservoir rather than endanger
the high service system Meanwhile
the work of getting ready for quick
work with the pumps in case rain does
not come continues. City officials will
not be caught mapping, and the supply
Will be kept up as long as an available
supply can be reached.

OPPOSED TO PENSIONS
Many Citizens Do Not Approve
Showing Favor to the Police

The committee on police will report
at the next meeting of the city council
in favor of the police pension order of
Councilman John II. Meagher, which
has been fully explained in The Spy.
1t is not so certain, however, that the
order will pass the council. There is
considerable opposition to the measure
among citizens generally. 1t is main
tanned hat a policeman has no more
right to a pension than a fireman, a
city laborer or a school teacher. If
one department is pensioned the logi-
cal conclusion, it is argued, is that the
system must be extended until it en-
braces all city employees.

OFFERS TO O'REILLY
Many Teams Want Him to Tao
kle Basket Ball

T. F. O'Reilly of the Catholic Young
Mems Lyceum has received several of
fers to play basket ball on teams of the
Central Massachusetts league, but has
declined all. His friends are prevail
ing on him to accept one of the offers
believing that he would make one of
the best players in the league. O'Reilly
played on the Sheridans against the
Lyceum team of the league, last week,
in Father Mathew hall, and gave evid-
ence of unusual ability in basket ball
His team won by a score of two points
to one in a hard fought contest.
O'Reilly was largely instrumental in
obtaining the victory. He is very fast
in game and uses excellent judg-
ment. He is an expert in several
branches of athletics, being one of the
best amateur ball players in this city

Ground to be Broken on Extension April
10th.
Four hundred and twenty tons of rails
for the Cedarvilie extension, have been
shipped to this city, and will be here in
few days. This illustrates the activity the
management of the company is ~ aking
this Cedarville extension. The order
for rails was placed at a time when every
steel mill in the country was rushed with
orders, and there were many who felt
that the rails could not be made up and
delivered within three months. But the
Traction Company here has always over
come obstacles, and this one has been
met and surmounted, and April first will
see the entire rail shipment here.
The delivery of poles will be begun
next week, ard ties are now being
moved.
1t is the intention of General Manager
Bacon to break ground on Monday morn
ing, April 10th, and the work will be
pushed forward to . rapid completion.
1t is fully expected that the new exten
sion will be ready for travel by the mid
die of May

Will be Missed,

With the completion OF the Cedarville
extension of the Traction Company,s
tracks, there will pass from local view a
familiar figure, in the person of Stage
Driver George Wainwright. This gentle
man is as we'll known here as he is in his
home town. Mr.. Wainwright is re-
markable man, always cheerful, agree
able, and never missing trip during the
year. In his stage during all these years
he has carried thousands of passengers,
and performed countless errands for the
people of Fairton and Cedarville. 1t is
said that Mr.. Wainwright makes no
memorandum of these very many er-
rands, depending entirely upon his
memory, and is not known to forget any
thing entrusted to his care. 1t it said
that Mr.. Wainwright, despite his per-
sonal loss in business, has offered no OBJ
lection to the extension of the railway,
but on the contrary, has urged it, as he
feels that the people of the town are en-
titled to its conveniences.

Expects to Leave About May 1 for a Stay
in Europe.
United States Senator William J, Se-
well, commander of the National Guard
of the State, is planning prolonged Euro
pean trip for himself. Before he can get
away be will have to approve plans for
the reorganization Of the National Guard.
He expects to have a conference with
Brigadier General p Farmer Wanser and
Brigadier General Bird w. Spencer, the
other Two members of the National Guard
Reorganization Commission within a few
days. The plans then agreed upon will
he promulgated as soon as they receive
Governor Voorhees, approval.
1t is practically settled that there will
be only four regiments in the new guard,
! with headquarters in Camden, Newark {,
Jersey City and Paterson. The political
horizon is clear. and there is nothing to
prevent General Sewel from taking a
well earned vacation.
He hopes to be able to get away about
May l, and he will probably remain
abroad nearly all the summer.

The City Will be Well Lighted in the

The city is to Ne congratulated upon the
electric ght service it will have upon the
expiration of the present contract. In
the future, there will be no moonlight
schedule, which makes considerable un-
certainty as to just when the lights will
be shining. In the future, the lights will
be furnished three hundred and sixty
five nights in the year, and will be burn
ing from sunset at night until sunrise in
the morning.
This is well lighted city, and the SER
vice furnished by the electric Light Com
pany has been constantly improved.
Superintendent Harding is very capable
manager, popular with the people, and
has greatly increased the commercial
business of the company. Within the
next five years there will be much more
business for the company, owing to its
liberal policy. The company is dis
tinctively local concern, employing
Bridgeton people, and paying good
wages. All supplies possible are bought
in this city,.

pleased by unexpected Easter gifts rang

the presentation Mr.. Moore explained
that at the time of the big strike in
1892 these men stood by the firm and
remained at their places. 1t was under

but from time to time had been cut
down, and he felt that they should now
be reim bursed.
The amounts paid the men represented
what they would haye earned above the
scale paid in the past seven years. The
two largest checks, 5000 and $40 re-
