VINELAND, N. j.. Feb. 2S.-By an over
whelming majority, the citizens at
special election yesterday decided to bond
the town for the purpose of purchasing the
city water plant from Charles Keighley 81
Sons, at $4,000.
This is regarded as marking Vineland's
entrance upon a new of progress in
municipal Improvements, and another
election will be held in few weeks to
vote on the question of bonding the bor-
ough for sewerage system.
The new pumping station which will
be erected by the city at an additional
cost of about $40, 1000, and the water works,
upon the transfer of ownership to the
municipality, will also generate cleo
tricity to light the town.

4 BIT OF SHILOH.
Something Of a Little But Important VIII
lage Here.
Communication to PIONEER:

Communication to PIONEER:
SHILOH, n. ]. Feb. %, 1900-Shiloh is
beautifully situated thirty-five miles
south of Philadelphia on the main turn
pike road fiom Bridgeton to Salem, four
miles from the former and thirteen miles
from the latter place. If yoU should
stand in thecentre of the road in Shiloh
you would have chance TO go ia six
different directions. Shiloh has inn
proved in the last twenty years, great
many nice homes have been erected and
nice families are in them. In the Sum-
mer time when the trees are in bloom
ard foliage, our streets make fine
promenade for the ladies. This village
has one church, it's members observe the
Seventh Day of the week as the Sabbath
of Jehovah. This church at the last Con-
ference reported three hundred and thirty
nine members, and / am proud to say
that we have an up-to-date church after
dance on Sabbath, and a Sabbath School
that any church might be proud of, with
a full force of Christian teachers.
This Church was organized in the year
1877. Ou1 present pastor B. Saunders
is wide awake preacher. If yon want
good gospel sermon, come and hear
him. Seats are free in our church. Next
to the church is the City of the Dead, this
resting place for our departed friends is
carefully looked after. Many of our
neighooring county churches might do
we'll to take pattern. In this, is buried
the daughter of the first white female
child horn in COhansey, large territory,
at that time, many years ago.
We have two well kept grocery stores,
s. V. Davis and Samuel Tomlinson, who
is also Postmaster. Shiloh is far ahead
ofany town of like size in the State if not
in the q. s., so far as l am able to know,
in more respects than one. 1t has good
many mechanics, carpenters by the
scort, several masons, several painters,
two well diggers and school teachers
without number, about thirty at least,
and this goes to prove that in education
it is not behind the times. We have as
fine school building as any village in
the State, think, with four efficient
teachers, with Prof. Warren Sheppard as
Principal, the other three are ladies of
the highest order. In the near future we
expect to have to enlarge our school
building. so great is the pressure upon
the trustees and teachers, no room for
more, we have got to advance in this line
we can't staEd still.
Oh the opportunity which every wo-
man has of being queen. The longer 1
live, the more 1 admire good womanhood;
among the queens like to honor, are the
female day school teachers of this land.
They are the daughters of our towns and
cities. selected out of a vast number of
applications. because of their especial in
tellectual and moral endowment. There
are in none of our homes, women more
worthy. OCCASIONAL.

HUNT BROTHERS
FIERCE DUEL IN THE DARK.
Vineland Mans Struggle With Midnight In
truder, Who Leaped Through
Window and Escaped,

WINDOW anu Escaped.
VINELAND, N. j., March 1.-Awakened
by a strange noise downstairs at his
home, about midnight last night, Charles
Brewer went down to investigate. He
carried no light nor was he armed, and
as he entered the kitchen he was startled
to see the dim outlines of large man in
the almost impenetrable darkness. The
man made directly for him, and Brewer
struck the intruder with all his strength,
knocking him against the kitchen door
wAicn, closing with a spring catch, inn
prisoned the two men in the small room.
There was an instant's pause, which
seemed like an hour, and in which
Brewer heard the heavy breathing of his
unknown antagonist and saw his dim
outlines again approaching for a fresh
attack.
Quickly they grappled, and a fierce
struggle ensued. Back and forth the
combatants struggled fiercely. They
hurled pieces of the kitchen stove, dishes
and other articles such as they could
grab as they moved about, and smashed
many of the windows in the room.
The intruder managed to get one hand
free, and Brewer caught the gleam of
knife blade. A supreme effort for the
mastery ensued. In the terrific struggle
the knife played all about the region
of Brewers breast, but as he had man.
aged to seize the arm that held the dead
ly weapon it could do no more harm
than slash his clothing. 1t now became
struggle for life, and for while it
looked as though death would win.
Brewer at last succeeded in knocking
the knife from the mans grasp, and as
it fell to the floor in the dark the burg
lar leaped through the kitchen window
and escaped.
Neighbors. hearing the commotion, got
out of bed, and some of them hurried for
the police, while others went to Brewers
house.
Brewer says that the fierce and deter
mined onslaught of the marauder looked
as if he "meant business" He fears that
robbery was not the only object of the
robter, though he is not aware of having
an enemy. Brewer is a brother of
Captain John L, Brewer, once champion
wing shot of the world.

THE ANNIVERSARY.
All Day Exercises of the Church Are At
tended By Large Congregations
Church Indebtedness Pro-
Vided For

The celebration of the Eighth Anniver-
sary of the First NJ. P. Church, on North
Lourel street, was an event ofimportance
to that fiourishing organization and the
carefully planned exercises were most
interesting and pleasing.
The church was prettily and taatefully
decorated with plants and flowers. The
morning service was opened with prayer
by Rev. Norris Webb, former pastor of
the second NJ. P. Church Of this city.
The choir then rendered the anthem,
There is City," after which Mrs
Abram Robinson beautifully sang solo
entitled, SIS my name written There"
Rev. E. D. Stultz, of Manasquan, father
of the present pastor Rev. L. D. Stultz
and the former pastor Rev. W. D. Stultz,
was then introduced. He gave very
interesting account of the way the church
had grown from few weak struggling
members, to it's present prosperous con-
dition.
On the right side of the pulpit was the
beautiful new baptismal font, upon the
front of which was the one word
Mother" The font was the gift of Mr..
William R. Shaw, the South Pearl street
marble dealer, in memory of his mother,
Mrs. Amanda Shaw, who was for many
years an earnest and energetic worker in
in the church and faithful member of
the Women's Foreign Missionary So
ciety. The font was presented by Rev.
w. D. Stultz. of Manasquan, former pas
tor of the church, and was received in be-
half of the church by Rev. L. D. Stultz.
A subscription was taken by the Trus-
tee Board for lifting the indebted ness
now on the church. The sum subscribed
was nearly eight hundred dollars.
The sunday school room was we'll filled
when the service was opened in the after
noon, and this was one of the most inter-
esting meetings of the day. Rev. Norris
Webb made the opening prayer. Mr..
Samuel II. Garrison, the perintendent,
then put the service in charge of Rev. w.
D. Staltz who spoke few helpful and
encouraging words TO the scholars and
teachers; short addresses were also made
by the following ministers, Rev. N
Webb. Rev. G. Ford, pastor ofthe Second
NJ. P. Church, Rev. j. Watson and Rev.
E. D. Stultz. A short revival service was
held and a number of persons professed
conversion.
The evening service was opened with
an anthem by the choir and solos by Mrs.
Lizzie Robinson and Mr.. David Gilland.
The congregation was then led in prayer
by Rev. L. D. Stultz. The speaker of the
evening was Rev. W. d. Stultz. Six
persons were baptised and eight were
taken in full embership of the church.
The collections during the day amounted
to ten hundred and twelve dollars.

Chopped Down rrolley Poles.

Colonel George A Miller, assisted by
his son and four visiting college students
chopped down some more electric light
poles at Montclair on Sunday. For sew
ersl months the people of that place have
been in arms against the way in which the
Peoples Light and Power Company of
Newark has been erecting poles along
the sidewalk without having first made
attempt to secure the consent of the prop
erty owners. Six weeks ago Colonel
Miller cut down two of the poles that
were in front of his property. He was ar
rested on charge of malicious mishcief.
The Grand Jury refused to entertain
the charge.

The saying about the lion and the lamb

CONSOLIDATION OF BATTERIES.
Plan Being Talked to Form State Organization
OF All Maine Batteries.

A movement is on foot, having been
inaugurated at the reunion of the 18th
Maine Battery Association, at their
meeting held during the past week at
Long Island to secure a consolidation
of all the Maine Battery associations
for social reasons, as the individual
batteries are becoming depleted by
death, and such a move in the near
future is deemed advisable. A COM
mittee was appointed by the eth Maine
Association, and if the other associa-
tions think favorably of the plan it
will probably be put into operation at
once At the reunion of the 18th Bat
terry Association, after the regular
business meeting, General A. S.
Twitchell of Gorham, n. H., made a
proposition to his fellow comrades
which will, if possible, be accepted.
General Twitchell offered the associa-
tion a lot Of land on which to build
an association building. IF this work
is undertaken it will probably be taken
up in connection with the other bat
terry associations. At the next annual
meeting Of the 9TH Maine Battery AS
sociatiOn steps will be taken in the
direction of organizing a ladies' auxil-
larry association. The question Of unit
ing with the other battery associ-
atoms ana the erection Of an associa-
ton building will also be discussed and
determined upon in some way.

THEY ARE AFTER SIMONS.
Hartford Riders Will Try for the 3O0-MiIe
Bicycle Road Record.

An attempt IL to be made by Hart
ford riders. this fall. to break the 300
mile road record recently established
by Edwin Simons of East Boston. When
the cup was taken away from Simons.
a short time ago, after he had held it
once. the winner stated that it would
be- necessary for Simons to take some
other course than that over which he
had ridden. When that statement
was made. Simons retaliated by saying
that if that was done he should COM
pei the man who took the cup away
from him to ride over his course.
Mr.. Simons is confident that it will
take more than one trial for the winner
to get the cup, as he tried the course
four times before he was finally able
to place it in what he believed to be a
safe place. Simons knows the course
thoroughly and is confident that it
Will take some time before another can
become as well acquainted as he.
Simons Is looking Well since his re-
turn from Boston. In speaking Of his
trip he said he had not yet fully recov-
cred from the effects of his ride. For
several weeks after reaching home he
was not able to work He has now re-
covered from the terrible strain to
which he was subjected. He was called
TO this city by races which some Of his
friends We're planning to give, but have
now been abandoned
