E. P. Tappey who was here few days

tative of New York syndicate who wants
suitable place for the location of a calico
mill. Mr.. Tappey was anxious for the
gentleman to see the old oil cloth factory
property and brought the gentleman
here.
The representative was greatly pleased
with the property, and said it could be
put in fine shape for little money. The
gentleman was much delighted with the
town and thought very favorably of it.
If there is any chance of getting this
sort of mill in Bridgeton, it should be
taken up by the public spirited citizens
and an effort made to establish this plant
in Bridgeton. 1t would give employ
ment to many people.

Farmers in Hard Luck.

The New Jersey farmers are certainly
having hard time of it this year. They
have not only lost heavily from the
drouth, but are also confronted with an
unusual number and variety of insect
enemies. According to recent bulletin
from the experiment station, pear, apple
and other orchard trees are blighting
badly on account of insect attacks, and
the State entomologst warns melon
growers that the conditions are favorable
for the development of melon lice in great
numbers. The prospect is that the farm
ers will have all they want to do to make
both ends meet this year.

nave LOST FIFTY Fer Gent. In Value In
Twenty-Five Years.
WASHINGTON, June 23-Richman Coles,
farmer of Salem county. N. j., was be-
fore the Industrial Commission to-day.
He said the farmers of New Jersey had
no especial complaint, though there was
a general feeling that conditions might be
improved. Prices for their products
were generally lower. while wages for
farm hands were higher than formerly.
Within the'past twenty-five years farms
in his section has deprecated in value
about fifty per cent.
The depreciation in the price OF products
was not so great. He was inclined to at
tribute the lower prices to competition
from the West and Sonth. He advocated
tariff on farm products, putting them
on the same basis as the manufacturers.
Such policy would result in saving to
the United States the $500, 100000 or $780,
100000 now sent abroad tor articles of an
agricultural nature.

do not get along very smoothly, and
quarrels among them have been of fre-

othe Cooper Hospital, at Camden, and he
lies there in a critical condition, suffering
from internal injuries.
Cedar Brook is the junction of the
Reading Road with the road from Cam

diagonally at this point, making it very
dangerous place tor either vehicle on
pedestrian. for the tracks of the Camden
and Atlantic City line are hidden from
view by trees on each side of the track.
Mr.. Hires had started to cross the
tracks when the train on the Reading
road suddenly rounded the curve, and
coming at the rate of mile minute he
was unable to hurry his horse, and the
locomotive struck just between the horse
an1 the carriage, throwing the occupan

pital at that place.
The extent of the injuries cannot be
learned as yet, as they are chiefly in ;.
ternal, but the physicians say that his
condition is critical.
