Excitement at vineentown.

The town of Vincentown was thrown in
to mild state of excitement on Saturday
by the antics of woman. Jennie Ridg
way is her name. She is the wife of
Richard Ridgway, son of c aleb Ridgway,
who is we'll known and res pected all over
this county. The woman's actions have
brought her into promince before, but her
escapade of Sat urday outdid anything she
had ever presente on previous occasions
She, with her husband, lived at the
residence of the father, just on the out
skirts of Vincentown. On Saturday. after
noon, eli ther while under the influence of
liquor or the devil, probably touch of
both, she abused the aged father an d
mother of her husband in shameful man.
ner The mother had been i'll for some
time, and was confined to her bed. The
daughter-in law went to the sick room and
jumping on the bed, raised such a row
that man engaged ON the farm interfered
and endeavored to quiet her. He had
little effect upon her, however, and he
was compelled to carry her down stairs.
In another room she continued to be
violent, and her husband tied her and
threw her on bed. In her struggles she
loosened one foot and attempted to get
out She fell and bruised her head badly.
Finding that nothing would quiet the wo-
man the law was appealed to and war
rant was issued for her arrest. She was
brought to Mount Holly and taken to the
jail. On her arrival there she insisted on
hearing, but was finally allowed to go
on the payment of fine, which was set
tied by a married man of Vincentown, who
is said to be very bold in his attentions to
the woman.
The saddest part of the whole affair was
the death of Mrs. Ridgway, the mother
Prior to the occurrence Mrs. Ridgway
was doing well and the doctor had hopes
of seeing her regain her health, but the
excitement was too much for her and sh e
died about two o'clock yesterday after
MON

Richard Hitler. who had been one of
Burlington's business men for number
years, died on Friday, after protracted
illness.
Reuben Kauffmanp the nine-yearold
step-son of Joseph Heeley, of this city,
fell and broke his arm, while at play in
the yard of his home.
On Friday evening about 9 O'Clock an
alarm of fire was sounded. 1t was caused
by the burning of the residence of Mrs.
Ellen Mcdonald, on Pearl street. The
lady is sixty eight years of age, and lived
alone in the house. She had not been
well for several days and had been looked
after by the neighbors, as much as she
would allow. just before dark Friday
night, Mrs. Allen, neighbor, left hel
lying on couch, and just previous te
leaving, Mrs. Allen asked the old lady II
she desired lamp lighted, but was told
that she preferred not to light the lamp Al
that time. Sometime later the old lady il
attempting to light the lamp, in som'
/ manner set fire to her clothing. Sh'
rushed to the street, her clothing mas
of flames. Several neighbors rushed t.
her assistance and smothered the flames
Mrs. Mcdonald died about one o'clocl
Saturday morning.

Fire at Moorestown.

The dwelling house of Arthur j. Col
Inns, together with the extensive packing
and storage warehouse, barns and out
buildings connected with the Pleasant
Valley Nurseries, of which he is also pro-
prietor, was totally destroyed by fire Fri
day afternoon, entailing loss of over
$4,000. There is some doubt as to the
origin of the fire, but it is supposed to
have started from sparks arising from a
pile of waste paper being burned. The
high wind which prevailed at the time
famed the flames, and in an incredibly
short space of time the fire communi-
Gated to one after another of the buildings
The Moorestown fire companies were
called out, but by the time they arrived
the entire collection of buildings were in
flames. The chemical engine got into SER
vice, but the fire so far advanced that its
work was useless.
The nurseries are located about a mile
outside of town and beyond the limits of
the water mains, consequently the alb
sence of water rendered the hose com
panies useless. The firemen saved most
of the furniture in the dwelling, but were
unable to release all the live stock in the
barns, and two mules persisted. Several
thousand dollars worth of trees, plants,
ETC., in the packing houses, together with
thousands of orders untitled, were also
burned, making it impossible to tell the
exact loss There was only insurance to
the amount of 5000 on the buildings,
which is held by the Farmers Reliance
Company of New Jersey. While fighting
the fire in the dwelling one of the firemen,
Albert Bisphan, was overcome by smoke,
and would have persisted but for the dar-
ing rescue by his companions, who drag
ged him out of the flames considerably
burned.

The steam yacht Chelsea, owned BY
Colonel Anthony Kuser, of Trenton, while
lying at dock near the mouth of Cross

Thursday morning.
Rev. Charles II. Whitaker, of Bush

A two-story frame house, the property
of Reading Margerum, standing on the
road leading to Crosswicks at Ward ave-
nue., near Bordentown, was destroyed by
fire on Thursday night. A family by the
name of Quigley had been living there
several months and had that day moved
a portion of their household goods into
Bordentown, leaving some there, which
were burned. The loss is some $500, with
an insurance of $500. The origin of the
fire is mystery.

Base Ball Notes.

There will be meeting of the Burling-
ton County League tomorrow evening,
at which time will be an election for off
GERS and the schedule will be adopted.
The Bordentown base ball club has Or
ganized with the following officers: Man
ager, Henry Holzbaur; Captain and AS
sistant Manager, John Barney; Treasurer;
Howard Davis.
doc" Potts will not be member of the
Morrisville club this summer. His place
at first base will be filed by Tommy
Travers and the position of captain has
been turned over to Dick Seeds, the
twirler
of the Bordentown Military Institute base
ball and foot ball teams, has entered the
University of the South, atSewanee, Ten
nessee and is playing on the University
team.
George Hesley, who pitched such fine
ball for White Hill last season, is much In
demand this year. However, he will
again twirl for the White Hill contingent.
Last year Hesley struck out 1919 men in
twenty games, truly marvellous record.
Moorestown might go into the League
but twill be such hard place to get to
that there may be opposition to its ad-
mission The league will probably con-
sists of seven clubs. This will necessitate
each club playing three games with. out
side organizations.
Manager Holt last week received notice
that Beverly had decided not to remain in
the League. Nobody seems to be willing
to take the trouble of managing club in
that city this year. Besides, it is not at
all probable that Beverly would be able to
again land the pennant, and there will not
be the glory of managing the club this year
as there was last.

In compliance with a request made by
the United States authorities at Washing
ton, The Prudential Insurance Company
of America has just completed and for
warded to the Paris Exposition an exhibit
to be Incorporated in the section set apart
for education and social economy.
As the pioneer of Industrial insurance
in the United States, The Prudential was
asked by the Federal Government 80
make an exhibit concerning Industrial in
surance as practiced in this country.
The history of The Prudential being
virtually the history of this system of life
insurance in the United States, the exhibit
is mainly confined to the history, statis-
tics and experience of that company.
The exhibit consists of eight large port
folios, seven of which contain the forms
used in all of the various departments of
the Prudentials field and Office admins
tration, illustrating fully the method of
conducting the Industrial life insurance
business, while one portfolio contains a
series of diagrams, charts, maps and sta
tistics illustrating in particular the prog
ress of the Prudential during the past
twenty-five years.
The exhibit will, in many respects, prove
revelation to those who have but slight
knowledge of the large number of trans
actions and extremely complicated techni-
cal features connected with the Industrial
business and the corresponding results
which have been achieved under Pruden
Dental leadership in making of Industrial
insurance the most complete business
success of the age.
The good results of Industrial insurance
from the standpoint of public policy are
set forth in chart Illustrating the de-
crease in the pauper funerals in the city
of Newark during the period 1800-1699.
There was material saving to the tax
payer in that city through the good re-
suits of Industrial Insurance. the vast ex-
tent of which is shown by an exceedingly
interesting map of the city, containing in
red dots the location of every claim paid
by The Prudential during 1899. 1t is
shown by this map that The Prudential
paid claims on practically every street in
the city of Newark.
The exhibit made by The Prudential at
Paris will be the first ever made by an
Industrial company at any one of the
many worlds fairs which have been held
during the twenty-iv years since the
business has been in active operation in
this country, and while not prepared for
advertising purposes, it will do much to
make clear the vast extent and far-reach-
ing Importance of Industrial insurance in
the social and political economy of the
American neonle
