MAYOR STOLE A MARCH.
Vineland Councilmen Indignantly
Withdraw From Chamber.

Vineland, Feb. 15.-The squabbling
in Borough Council over the scramble
for public offices eliminated in a row
at a special session of that body last
night. At previous meeting Mayor
Mason vetoed the appointment of
George Goe as general manager or
superintendent of public works. The
Mayor called special meeting for
last night, and the Committee on
Electric Lights, Sewerage and Water
Works nominated Charles Mellert,
formerly of Philadelphia, for the
position.
- The members of Council, outside
of the committee, whose notifications
had not reached them until yesterday
afternoon, did not arrive at the Coun-
Gil chamber until after Mayor Mason
had confirmed the appointment of
Mellert After expressing their in
dignation over the way they had been
caught the chagrined Councilmen
withdrew from the rooms.
DR.. George Cunningham, President
of Council, who opposed the appoint
ment of Mellert ON the ground that
he was a nonresident, said to-day ::
"The attempt of the Mayor to steal a
march on us, and his proceedings last
night, were both illegal and imbecile.
He is conducting himself like rings
ter and against the interests of the
community, " The Mayor said to-
day that he would positively no longer
tolerate the abuse from the President
of Council.

Morning.
Special to the Pioneer.

Special to the Pioneer.
Port Norris, Feb 18.-A horrible
tragedy occurred here yesterday, a
little eight-year- girl being the
victim, horribly burned, and death
only relieves the sufferings
The little victim is Grace, daugh-
ter of William Kelly. The child had
come down stairs to dress by the
warm stove, and in some way her
f1annels came in contact with the
stove and fired Instantly the inf1am-
mable materials were ablaze and
wrapped about the child in a horrible
manner
In awful agony the child screamed
Historically, bringing to her aid the
other members of the family. Carpet
was snatched from the floor and
wrapped about the child, but the
flames had done its horrible work, and
the little body was terribly burned
from the head to her ankles.
DR.. Day was hastily summoned and
he did all that was possible to relieve
her, but early this morning death

PREPARING FOR
LENTEN SEASON.
Regulations Have Been Issued
for the Guidance of CathO-
lies.

Regulations for Lent, for the guild
ance of Catholics, have been issued as
follows:
All week days are fast days, but
meat will be allowed once day ex-
cept Wednesday and Friday, as these
days are days of abstinence as well as
fast days. Fish and meat will not be
allowed at the same meal.
Meat will be allowed Thursday of
Holy Week. Eggs, butter, milk and
cheese will be allowed Good Friday.
The usual class of people are exempt
from strictly obeying the orders for
the customary reasons.
A collection will probably be taken
up in all the churches the first Sun
day in Lent in aid of the Indian and
colored missions. With view of en-
couraging this work, the Holy Father
Pope Leo XIII. has granted plenary
indulgence to all who attend church
where the collection is taken and par
ticipate in the services.

PRESIDING ELDER
GRAW PASSES AWAY.
CarbuncIe on His Back the Cause
of Death of This Noted Man.

siding Elder of the Bridgeton Dis
trict, of the New Jersey Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
died at his residence ON Haddon ave-
nue., Camden, Monday morning after
an illness of little over a week from
large carbuncle ON his back Drs
Woodward and Middleton were in at
tendance, and specialist from Phila-
delphia was called on Sunday in con-
sultation, but he continued to sink
until the end came this morning.
DR.. Graw was probably the best
known Methodist preacher in New
Jersey, at least in the bounds of the
New Jersey Conference Not only
was he well known in local Metho-
dist circles, but he was a familiar fig
ure at the quadrennial sessions of the
General Conferences of the Methodist
Episcopal Church for long Germ of
years, having been elected a delegate
by the New Jersey Conference, usual
ly by large majority.
At the sessions of the annual Con-
ference DIR. Graw had been one of the
leading speakers on all matters of i'm
portance for at least quarter of a
century, while he has been a member
of the Conference for nearly half
century, having been admitted in 1866.
Throughout his long connection
| q hn
ognized as one of the most vigorous
orators on the floor of Conference, and
on all matters of weight, whether he
was for or against, he was always
looked upon as a strong debater, and
as a general rule attracted large
following to his way of thinking. DIR.
Graw has served ON all the districts
as Presiding Elder, including the
Burlington District, from 1871 to
1874, which district no longer exists.
DIR. Graw was born at Railway, N.
j., nearly sixty nine years ago, and
lived all of his life in his native
State. During his ministry he was
actively associated with the old
Barnsboro Camp Meeting, Pitman
Grove, Ocean Grove, Ocean City,
Island Heights, Malaga and National
Park Camp Meeting Associations,
and was to a degree instrumental in
the spiritual and financial successes
of those great Methodist resorts.
AS preacher he was looked upon
as a thorough theologian, a forceful
pulpit orator, who never hesitated to
express his sentiments, being fearless
to a degree which brought forth criti-
cism oftimes from his fellow minis
| ters
Since his admission to Conference
he had served the following appoint
ments; 1855, Staten Island, Quaran-
tine; 1856, Staten Island, Stapleton !;

Description of the New Home of
This Old and stable Institution.

The familiar structure which has for

of the Riggs National Bank, at the corner
Of Pennsylvania Avenue and Fifteenth

historic business building in Washington,
will shortly be vacated for banking pur-

The history Of the Riggs National Bank
is largely the history OF financial Wash

quarters of a century played most i'm
portant part in the financial history Of
the United States Government. as we'll as

one exception every President since it's

The new building now about completed

NEW YORK. Feb IS.-The early cables
this morning showed irregular changes in
the Loadon market for American stocks
and the negative tendency Of that market
was entirely disregarde1 in the local deal
Ings.
The New York market opened for the
most part very firm. Some Of the higher
priced stocks. including Delaware and Hud-
son. and Illinois Central made pronounced
advances. Evidences Of irregularity were
stiI apparent as was to have been expect
ed in view Of yesterdays excited and fe-
verish market.
The common stocks Of the steel indus
trials continued to reject pressure. owing
to the notions entertained regarding the
treatment they viii receive in the pending
amalgamation. The movements il the pre-

less pronounced than they we're yester-

The trading continued exceedingly con-
