that the change will be made about New
Years, then the posi- Offices Of Williams

glass towns OF Gloucester County, viii be
controlled by the glass manufacturers Of
these respective towns. Why shouldn
they? Didn't the corporations place the

shouldn't they shake the plum tree.

Ferry Boat and sohooner ooIiide.

as the ferry boat Pennsylvania left til.
Philadelphia dock at nine o'clock las
Friday evening, well filed with passenger
for three local trains, and many Gambler
holiday shoppers, she came IN violent col
lision with the schooner j. B. Manning, o.
Toms River, outward bound. That there
was no loss Of life and only eight passenger:
injured, is miraculous.
Pilot George Hillman Of the ferry boat
says that as the ferryboat emerged from the
slip he blew the customary signal and
observed tug boat pass down, but he did
not see any light indicating that the tug
had a tow. As the Pennsylvania cleared
the tug schooner, heavily laden, bore
down upon her, the bowsprit carrying away
the forward cabin on the port side aud
raking the cabin aft to the wheelhouse. The
crash created a panic among the passengers
who were thrown into confused heap.
Women cried and shrieked, rush was
made for the life preservcrs, men became
desperate in the fear that the boat might
sink, and fight ensued to escape TO the
rear cabin. The narrow passage way be-
came clogged with the struggling men aud
some who had fallen were trampled upon
in the rush for safety.
The force of the impact was 50 great that
it turned the ferryboat down stream and
released the bowsprit Of the schooner After
the schooner became disengaged the captain
of the ferryboat refused assistance and she
made the Camden slip under her own steam
where the frightened and injured passengers
During the excitement Walter Rediield,
of this city, thinking that the ferryboat
would sink, leaped Oh the bowsprit of the
schooner as it came through the cabin and
clambered through the rigging to the deck
OF the schooner. After Redfield had told
the captain the damage lie had done, the
captain of the tugboat was hailed, and he
hove to and came up the stream. The
schooner was anchored off Race street to
await an investigation.
Among the injured was Mr.. il. " Rog-
ers, of the firm of Wilson & Rogers, Phila-
delphia, whose home is on High street, this
city. Mr.. Rogers says he was seated on
the warm side of the mems cabin, and
when the boats came together Was thrown
from his seat with great force, when he
to rise was again knocked Off his
feet, amid a shower OF splinters and flying
glass. His derby hat was jammed down
over his ears, and the crown torn and his
scalp laceFated He was also bruised about
the body. His wounds were dressed at
Cooper hospital, and he eane home on the
train

Prof. voorhees, Of the State Experiment
Station told the farmers at Williamstown
last Thursday that there is a great demand
for practical, scientific farmers. He recently
had an application for one whose salary
would be s., 900, he said
We hope the Prof hasn't oyerdraNn the
case, and the farming business IS on the
rise. But we do know that Prof. yoor-
hees' principal can have the pick of GIou-
cester county farmers at that price, and the
Prof can have good, round bonus for
himself for selecting the man. As to
science, eighty per cent. Of Gloucester
county farmers are scientific. In proof OF
this statement we direct the Prof. to any
of the picnics or institutes held during the
harvest time, and if he dosen't discover in
the fruits and vegetables on exhibition,
evidence of scientific manipulation of seed
and sand, then we viii relinquish all
claims to correct judgment

Farmers Institute.


The annual farmers institute was held at
Hilliamstown last Thursday, with a large
attendance of farmers from the various
parts of the county
Professor E. B. VOORHEES,, Of the State
Experiment Station, made an instructive
address on the management Of Soil, and
What Plant Food to Use and When, for
the Best Results 9 He said the farmer
who succeeds must know the soil, what it
is best adapted to and how to treat the
soil
Professor Voorhees, also spoke Of the corn
crop and the silo in milk production, and
gave some interesting facts from his own
methods of feeding and caring for dairy
COWS.
State Secretary Dye made al address on
The Rewards Of Agricultural Works as
Related to the Methods Of Work He
said the farmer who works from q known
point and follows practical methods will
reap his reward Every business, he
said, is passing through a revolution. The
man who was an expert in certain business
lines twenty-five years ago is nowhere in
the race Today. We are a great people,
moving along III every industrial, CONNER
cial and professional business with such
rapid stridss that it needs the wide awake
man to keep in the frontranks. This reyo-
luton is going on with the farmer, and out
OF it will be evolved a higher standard.
The farmer isjn partnership with nature;
nature IS his best friend, and the farmer
cannot ignore the partnership. You do
your part and nature will be generous in
her giving. He advised the farmer 10
stick to the farm.
James L. Rice, of New York, spoke on
the Management OF the Apple Orchard. 2
He pointed out that each year the quality
Of the fruit is increasing, and the fruit
grower must pay more attention to the
orchard if he expects to realize any profits.
The fruit grower who can go into the
market and demand good prices for his
fruit is the man who has raised the stand
ard in quality. He is the fellow who gets
rid Of the fungus and insect pests by a
constant vigil
Cultivation means much to the fruit.
1t produces a larger and finer looking apple,
which means more dollars in the market.
Mr. Rice also spoke ON the value and ius
portance Of spraying. He said the grower
must spray for good fruit. One value Of
spraying IS that it holds the apple to the
tree much longer than where the trees are
not sprayed. Another feature of spraying
is the destruction Of the insects which
trouble the fruit Spraying, the speaker
said, should be commenced when the
blossoms first appear and just as soon as
the blossoms fall, but never while the tree
is in bloom. The third spraying should be
done when the apples reach the size OF a
hickory nut.

On Saturday last Judge Nixon heard the
protest Of property owners abutting the
above named read against the assessment of
benefits made by the commissioners.
In accordance with law, Messrs John NJ
Henderson, James Horner and Job S..
Haines were appointed commissioners.
Owing to the death of the latter, John
Redfield was appointed his successor.
District Attorney Watkins appeared in
behalf of the defendants and ex-Judge D.
j. Pancoast represented the eomplainants,
who claim that the road was not built
according to contract, and that the cost of
such road is only matter of conjecture
with the commissioners, therefor the
assessments levied are Illegal The cost of
the road 'as near as can be ascertained
is S31, 675.21n
Judge Nixon rendered a decision that
the commissioners report was not as full as
it might be and therefore ordered that new
report be made, which neeessitates new
hearing, the time Of which was not fixed.
