You Can Telephone Good Ways From
Bridgeton Now.
The Delaware and Atlantic Telephone
Company has been working for the last
three or four weeks on the new long dis
tance switchboard in the central Office in
this city. The work which has been
under the direction of J. G. Breban, Jr.,
was completed and put in operation Sat
urday afternoon. The company now has
the capacity to furnish long distance tele-
phones to all stores and residences in
Bridgeton.
The central presents business like ap-
pearance. The new switchboard requires
twice the room of the old one, as it has
double the capacity, and is equipped
with all the modern appliances. The
telegraph station has been switched
around, and the public telephone has
been moved to the opposite side of the
room from where it was formerly located.
The business of the telephone company is
constantly increasing, and Bridgeton is
the most important centre of any South
Jersey city with which the company is at
present doing business.

A FINE SITE.

A Mose Desirable Place for Large Hotel,
In the Centre of the City.
A prominent business man said a day
day or two ago, that if Bridgeton was in
need of more hotel accommodations.
there was one site in the centre of the
city. which was an idea spot. The gen.
tleman referred to the large tract of land
on Jefferson street, which faces South
Laurel street, and adjoins the Cohansey
river on tine west.
The business man stood upon the
Broad street bridge as he looked over
the property, and became enthusiastic.
He pointed out many advantages of the
property. First, it was centrally located,
1t was directly in the centre of the city,
was particularly handy to the principal
depot and easily accessible to the trolley
lines. The site had a good frontage on
Jefferson street, and had depth of any
number of feet that may be desired. A
hotei-cou be built there that had the
merit of beautiful design, while the river
was particularly desirable, and wide
verandas could be erected on the West,
which could be enjoyed by the hotel
guests. especially during the warm
weather period. 1t is certain that the
business mans enthusiasm is we'll

yineland Plant sure.

A company of vineland business men
Saturday purchased from the American
Bottle Works Company, the old Tillyer
Brothers window glass plant here, which
has been idle for several years. At con-
ference in Camden, Saturday, between
Jos. Tomlinson, representing the Vine
land Company. and Thomas Synnott, of
Wenonah, member of the American Bot
tie Company, the price agreed upon was
10000. The Vineland Window Glass
Manufacturing Company, in which $2o,-
600 worth of stock has already been sub
scribed for, will be capitalized at $5o,o0o,
and the works here will go into blast with
at least 100 workmep, as soon as the
necessary repairs can be completed.

an Ofhcer.
The woman purporting to be the wife
OF Werriching, the fellow who has been
painting the signs on windows about
town. and who is now in Jail for getting
into trouble with his boarding house
mistress was arrested Tuesday by the
officers.
The woman, since her alleged husband
has been locked up, has been holding
high carnival about town. On Sunday
she was down the creek with a lot of
drunks, and their drunkenness attracted
considerable attention.
Tuesday night, about half drunk, the
woman fell into bad gang. She was
taken in the club room in the Coombs &
Smalley building, where she was having
high old time with some drunken
fellows. Officers Betchner and Smith
went up in the room and arrested her
and locked her up.

Cumberland Busy.


The Cumberland Glass Company yes
terday started up big part of it's plant
under the Union system, and the big
works are moving along very smoothly.
Of course the capacity of the plant is not
nearly in operation, but will be before
long. The many blowers and apprentices
who have returned to the places they
left last April. are well pleased with the
reception given them by the managers
and in return indicate that they will
give the company the best service possi-
BILE.
The Cumberland now has the two blue
tanks, the light green tank and one pot
furnace in operation. The light green
tank was started up yesterday with a
complete set of Union workmen. Next
Monday the company will start up the
big amber tank.
The Cumberland has some big orders
on hand, and the representatives of the
Company are hustling for further trade
The PIONEER predicts that the Cumber-
land will soon be recognized the country
over, as one of the most important plants
in the trade.

WILL SAVE MONEY.
Cumberland County will be the Gainer by
Strike Settlement.

Cumberland County Will be the Gaiuer by
Strike Settlement.
The settlement of the strike in this city
means big saving in actual cash to
Cumberland county. That is. the county
won't have to pay out of its strong box a
lot of money that would have to be put in
circulation if all these cases, little and
big, growing out of the troubles in the
glass world, were brought before the
Grand Jury. 1t is hardly Likely now
that many of these cases will be pressed.
The time has come when the two sides
have an understanding, and instead of
complaints and warrants, there is good
feeling aid employment.
There may be two or three cases brought
to the attention of the Grand Jury, but
not more than that. Most of them will
be dropped, and the October term is not
likely to prove sensational at all.
Enough money has been spent now in
getting these cases before the various
justices, and it will be a good thing to
drop the cases right where they are. The
window manufacturers and workmen
are too busy to attend court just now.

Looks Like Union.

Every indication points to the unioniz-
ing Of the glassworks at Fairton. There
has been at least one conference with the
controlling members of the company and
Union officials, and It is quite certain
that all existing differences between the
two forces will be adjusted this week
The big factory is being put in readiness
for immediate operation. and there are
no non-union workmen there, and.so far
as learned none have been engaged. On
the other hand it is known that one re-
sponsible representative of the works
has approached Union workmen and
ask led them to work at Fairton during
the coming blast, assuring the blowers
that the factory would be operated on
Union basis. Several Bridgeton
blowers have engaged to work at Fairton
under Union conditions.

Disease is the opposite of ease. Web.

of the physical organism. A. vast major
ity of the "dis ease'' from which people
suffer is due to impure blood. Disease Of
this kind is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla
which purifies. enriches and vitalizts the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures scrof

tions. 1t tones the stomach and creates
good appetite, and it gives vigor and vital

Frequent and Severe.

The storms this summer have been
frequent and more severe than for several
years past in this vicinity. Lightning
has struck in many places and this en-
phasizes anew the lesson of the danger OF
standing under tree in violent thun-
der storm, one which is often illustrated,
but seldom learned. It is exceedingly
uncomfortable to stand in the open and
get thoroughly drenched, but it is much
safer than seeking shelter in practically
rapid transit route to electroeution.

SALEM, Sept. Cat a meeting of the
City Council Friday evening, August 25.
Mayor Gwynne made charges against
Policeman Wyatt. Hayes and joseph
Weld. and said that for neglect of duty
ne had discharged the officers and re-
quested that the Council take action, A
motion was made to give the officers an
other months trial, but Mayor Gwynne
declared the Council should either rein.
state the officers or ratify his action. The
Council then voted to suspend them.
The officers then filed with the City
Clerk petition alleging that they had
been illegally suspended without charges
being preferred and without having the
benefit of fair and impartial hearing
based on State law of 1885. At special
meeting last evening the officers were
given hearing. Little evidence was
produced against them and only one
Councilman voted in favor of their sus-
pension.
Mayor Gwynpe ediately wrote out
bis resignation and hurriedly left the
Council chambers, declaring that if the
defendants were efficient he was not
competent to govern the police force.
Councilman Bell was selected Chair
man pro tenn, but no action was taken on
the resignation.
Public sentiment seems in favor of the
officers, the opinion being that they were
suspended for political effect.
Mayor Gwynne was elected in 1897 by
small majority over Republican
nominee.

brilliancy, beauty and fragrance We'd
ding guests we're ensconced in the parlors
OF the pretty home, all eager for the first
peep of the bridal party, and striving to
hear the all-important words that linked
two young lives together.
just as the clock was pealing forth the
noon time hour, the strains of the we'd
ding march rang out from the organ,
Mrs. William Weeks presiding, and
down the stairs came the procession,
headed by Richard Johnson, as best man,
and Miss Name Johnson, as bridesmaid
brother and sister of the comely bride
The bridesmaid wore white organdie and
carried bunch of white carnations
Leaning upon the arm of the groom
George T. Barbour, was the fair bride,
Miss Susie o. Johnson. Gowned in pure
white organdie, trimmed with white
ribbons, the young lady appeared charm
ing. She carried bouquet of bridal
roses.

Up in North Bridgeton, important ard
progressive changes are being made in
the appearance of the town. The boards
that have been guarding the windows
and doorways of many empty houses are
coming down, and the dwellings are be-
ing occupied again by the army of wage
earners. There is stretch of high board
fence up that way to come down that will
greatly help the appearance of the locality

No Shippine Now.

Many small farmers no longer ship
their produce to the commission men and
get little or nothing for it. Instead they
bring it to the city themselves and dis
pose of the vegetables by going from door
to door, This is beneficial to both the
housekeeper and the farmer, but how
about the hucksters and storekeepers
who have to pay licenses and taxes for
the same privilege. Is it not an invasion
of their rights for the farmer to capture
their customers. especially in view of the
fact that he gets the benefit of our good
streets without paying anything towards
their cost or keeping them in repair.

WALKING sPEAK-EAsY.
omcers Took Charge of Him and Couple
OF Gallons of Rum Early Sunday
Morning.

Morning.
1t was about half past three O'Clock
Sunday morning. 1t was down South
Laurel street. The prominent figures in
the little drama were three officers, and
the somewhat notorious Nat Colvin.
Officers John Woodruff, Fred Barton,
and Special Officer Shull we're down near
the corner of Laurel and Warren streets
at the time mentioned, when they no.
ticed man slip in The alley leading back
OF McGear's store. They waited awhile
and then noticed fellow slip out of the
lane carrying basket.
The officers thought that the fellow had
been stealing from some of the stores
back there, and they waited to pounce
upon him. The man.. unconscious Of
the presence of the officers, came down
Laurel street and crossed over toward
Warren street.
Officer Barton stepped up to him and
said.
what have you got in.that basket ?''
Groceries" replied the man, as he put
the basket down just for an instant and
then hurriedly picked it up again.
Hold on" said Barton, ''let me see in
the basket
The man again sat the basket down and
quickly lifted the lid, and as quickly
slammed it too again.
Now you wait till I see what this is
about" determinedly said Barton. and
he raised the lid of the basket and nearly
dropped from surprise.
What have you got there 9'' called out
Officer Woodruff.
"A walking speak-easy," returned
Barton, as he grabbed the fellow, who
proved to be Nathaniel Colvin.
Then the officers made an examination
and found that in the basket were two
gallons of rum put up in half pint TASKS,
while in every pocket in Colvin's cloth.
ing was another half pint.
1t looked very much as though Office,
Barton's guess was correct one.
Colvin was taken to the City Hall ant
locked up in the Station House. He wa.
greatly excited and shook like a mar
with the ague. Colvin attempted to ex
plain to the officers how he came to bt
carrying the rum. He said there was 8
big picnic party going out later in the
day and they had asked him to get the
rum for them. He refused to say who
was in the picnic party, or where the rum
came from. 1t is also worthy of remark
that no attempt was made by any of the
Sunday picnickers to recover their confis-
Gated wet goods.
The officers have been spotting Colvin
for some time, and he acknowledged to
them yesterday morning that he had
been selling liquor ir a club room back
OF Mrs. Calls North Laurel street store.
Last night Colvin was committed to
Jail in default of bail for a hearing.
There has been good deal of this
walking speak-easy business in this town
on Sundays, but whether Colvin is one of
them is not clear. The half pint bottles
all filled with liquor indicates something,
but just what, everybody is entitled to
one guess.
There is good wide field for active
police operations in this city, on this line.
