FELL FROM A CAR.
Isaac VanMeter Was Hurt Satur-
day Night.

Saturday night, Isaac Vanmeter,
North Laurel street, was coming
down from the Park upon a closed
car. He was standing upon the rear
platform.
When near his home, he thought
to expedite matters by stepping down
from the platform to the lower step.
Instead of gaining footing upon the
lower step he missed it, and fell in
the street, striking upon his head.
For a few moments he lay uncon-
scious and was picked up and carried
to his home. He was bleeding pro-
fusely from serious cut in the
head, and was bruised up consider
able, but fortunately he was not in
jured seriously. Medical attention
was given him.

SAYS NEW THEATRE
rs NOW ASSURED,
The Company Has Been IncOr-
pOrated.

F. D. CARL. who has been the pro-
moter in pushing ahead the scheme
for new theatre building in this
city, says that the enterprise is now
assured, and that at very early day
work upon the building will begin.
Articles of incorporation have been
filed in the County Clerks Office, and
papers authorizing the company to
do business are daily expected from
the Office of the Secretary of State,
Trenton. The organization will do
business as the Bridgeton Auditorium
Company and the theatre will be
known as the Auditorium.
Joseph Steelman is at present en-
gagged in drawing plans for the struc-
ture, while Philadelphia architects
are at work upon the plans for the
stage and mechanical parts OF the en-
terprise.
Mr.. CARL says that the new theatre
and amusement enterprise will cost
about $50, 900, and the theatre will be
one of the very handsomest in this
section of the country, with all mod
ern appointments and necessary con-
yeniences. About one third of the
money is now in hand, and as soon
as the company receives the neces-
sary papers to do business, the re-
mainder of the money will be called
in and the work started. 1t is not
beyond the range of possibilities that
the new theatre will be opened to
the public before the present season
expires.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Tomato Wagons Came Into
Collision With Serious
Result

A terrible collision occurred Just be-
fore noon Saturday when two heavily
loaded tomato wagons crashed into
each other on Clark st. One wagon
loaded with tomatoes for Brady's can
house was standing just outside on
Clark St., when two horses hitched
to another wagon became unmanage-
able and started at wild pace down
Clark st. The horses seemed terrified
and despite the drivers efforts could
not be stopped in their mad run.
The horses crashed into the stdnding
rack and then general mix-up made
a terrible scene.
~ Isaac Matthews, young man of
Cohansey street, was sitting on the
seat of the wagon not moving, and as
the two racks came together he was
thrown to the ground and mashed
between the heavy wagons.
The wagons were tightly locked to-
gether ana the young man between
them. They were separated as soon
possible and Mr.. Matthews removed
He was taken to DR.. Cornwell'S S

TOOK PARIS GREEN
AND ENDED HER LIFE.
Mrs. ROllO s. Winn Commits
Suicide.

For some time Mrs. Emily J. VIM,
wife of Rollo S. Winn, of Irving ave-
nue., has been suffering from mental
troubles, and in consequence has
been much depressed in spirits. Once
before she took laudanum to end her
life but was unsuccessful, and since
then her husband has used every pre-
caution to prevent her repeating the
attempt.
Saturday Mrs. Winn was successful
in ending her life. In the middle of
the morning she was about the
house as usual, and Mr.. Winn was
out about the place. She found some
Paris green, and must have taken a
liberal dose of it, for shortly after
ward She was taken violently i'll and
yomited considerably. She concealed
her sufferings from the family as
much as possible and not for some
time after the fatal dose was taken
did Mr.. Winn know it.
He was prompt in action then, and
DR.. S. M. Wilson was hurriedly sent
for. The physician applied all the
remedies known to science but was
unsuccessful and about nine o'clock
at night death ended the sufferings
of the poor woman.
Mrs. Winn was a comparatively
young woman, and belonged up in
the State. The funeral will occur on
Tuesday at three O'Clock in the after

BOLD NEGRO
ENTERS A HOME.
Frightens Young Lady and
Little Girl.

Thomas Ingram lives on Cohansey
avenue, just south of North St., and
Monday night he went down town,
while his wife visited a physician.
This left at the house Miss Hattie
Inrgam and her sister, Ada, a girl of
twelve, together with a boy, Bert
Ingram.
Bert and playmate, Lester Mich
OILS were out 10 the rear yard engaged
in play, wnen big, burly negro en-
tered the property by a rear gate.
The boys were frightened somewhat
and ran around the house to the
front portico where Miss Hattie sat
with her little sister.
The boys told of the negro and
Miss Ingram with her sister entered
the house. When they reached the
dining room they were confronted by
the colored fellow. Both screamed.
and the negro made an attempt to
catch hold of the child, but she elud-
ed his grasp.
NeighbOrS hearing the screams
rushed into the house, and the in
truder turning, fled out of the rear
door and escaped in the darkness.
Who the fellow was or what was
his object could not be ascertained.

degrees, an average that has seldom

course, goes beyond official records.

DECLINED THE HONOR.
Mr.. Minch Did Not Care to be an
ElectOr.

). Not often do rising young men de-
cline such distinguished honor as
being an elector upon a Presidential
ticket, but Hon. Bloomfield HI.
Minch Thursday requested the State
leaders to accord the honor to some
other citizen of the First Congress
sional District. The request was
needed, and the place that seemed
certain for Mr.. Minch went to Judge
John Moore, of Gloucester county.
The State leaders had formally re-
queSted Mr.. Minch to take the place
upon the electoral ticket some days
ago, ana many of his friends urged
him to accept. Mr.. Minch was not
easily severed from what ne thought
was proper in the premises and sank
his personal preferences, and urged
that some other Republican be
named. Mr.. Minch is Director of
the Bridgeton National Bank and
member of the committee having in
charge the erection of the new bank
building. and he would be obliged to
resign from the Board of Directors,
of which he has been member since
he was twenty. one years of age. Mr..
Minch did not think he should en-
baraSS the Directors or the Building
Committee, and he urged that as one
OF the reasons why he should not be
forced upon the ticket. Again Mr..
Minch did not think the county was
entitled to the honor particularly,
1nasmuch as Judge Thomas W.
Trenchard was one of the electoral
ticket. Mr.. Minch, is, as is well
known, candidate for Senator to
succeed Hon. E. 9. Stokes, and there
is little doubt that he will have
practically unanimous nomination.
He does not care to monopolize hon.
orS, nor is Mr.. Minch the sort of a
man who needs distinction or a place
upon a ticket to have HIM do his full
duty to the party, and assist the can
didateS upon the Republican ticket.
to success. Mr.. Minch is a thorough
Republican and has shown the stuff
that was in him before by declining
honors in the interest of party har-
mony, and it is not surprising that
he should again be founu in line.
