Mystery Recalled by Death.

Asbury Park, April Mrs Mary
A. Seabar, of Ocean Grove, an inmate
of the State Hospital for the Insane at
Trenton, who died Friday, was buried
here yesterday beside the body of he1
husband. Rev. William Margerum, OF
Ocean Grove, officiated.
The cause of Mrs. Seabar's insanity
was frightful tragedy enacted in her
home at 90 Heck avenue, Ocean
Grove, about four years ago. She and
her husband lived there alone, with
the fear of poverty and old age upon
them. So great was the terror of the
two of possible ending of their lives
in the poorhouse, and so great was
their love for one another, that they
determined to die together.
1t was mutually agreed that the
husband should shoot his wife and
then end his own existence, but at
the last moment, his heart failing
him, he turned the pistol from her,
and, placing the muzzle at his own
temple, pulled the trigger and fell
dead at her feet. Mrs. Seabar never
recovered from the shock.

accommodate the growing business
was perplexing problem to the Board
OF Directors. Various schemes were
considered, and at one time it seemed
nearly certain that the bank would
be obliged to abandon it's plant and
build elsewhere. Finally an arrange
ment was made whereby the old Carle
property could be purchased, and the
lane between that site and the former
bank building could be closed This
solved the problem and the Directors
at once proceeded to improve the op-
portunity. The Carle property was
purchased, and in the early winter
the complete demolishing of the sub
stantial building was commenced, and
the handsome structure was razed to
the ground
Then followed rapidly the building
OF the magnificent structure that is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tion. The structure will be completed
and furnished as soon as possible and
in the early summer time the officers
OF the bank will be permitted to take
possession, giving ample facilities for
the increased business of the corpora

Bridgeton Bank Structure is
Rearing Itself to Stately
Beauty and Grandeur.
WHAT 1T is TO BE.
A Complete and Detailed Description
of the Magnificent Structure
Which Will be Pointed to With
Pride by the People of This City

Watching the massive blocks of
granite swing high in the air by the
use of great cranes, looking at the
buff bricks growing higher and high
er, seeing the massive futed columns
OF the front raised in place, and now
gazing skyward one can see the busy
carpenters shaping the big dome, and
an idea is possible of what the ex-
terror of the new structure of the
Bridgeton National Bank will be.
The contractors have been making
excellent progress with this splendid
enterprise, and the interior work can
be fastened on at any time.
Considerable trouble has been taken
to obtain an outline drawing of the
front of the new Bank, and the ac-
scompanying illustration is the result.
1t reproduces faithfully the drawing
of the architect, but even this fails to
express the true beauty of the struc-
ture. The building is even handsomer
and certainly more massive and elab-
crate than the illustration would in
dicate

passage way until they reach door
in the rear. This is opened by some
official in the bank, and they continue
in this passage way into the vault
Beside the vault is depositors'
room with tables arranged so that
parties owning boxes may take them
out of the vault and have privacy in
connection with their deposits.
The divisions in the banking room
are made by low partitions, which are
feet high, of oak, the upper part
being of plate chipped glass.
Directly above the banking room and
keeping the same arc as the banking
counter, is large dome This dome
is of loaded glass, the glass being
white Opaque which allows plenty of
light to enter, but diffuses it in such
a way that it will not be disagreeable
to men working beneath it. In the
centre of the dome is a wreath of
highly colored glass in reds, blues and
yellows, which will give a touch of
richness and character
The height of the ceiling from the
floor is 80 feet, decorated in plaster,
with pilasters and mouldings.
The windows of this room are all
large and have a transom in the upper
part. This transom is made to swing,
and will give good ventilation to the
banking room.
The floor of the public part is of
mosaic, and around the walls wains-
coating of oak 5 feet high.
The character of the room has been
treated in thoroughly architectural
manner, and great attention is being
given to proportions and treatment
in regard to the moulding, carving
and coloring.,,
There are two vaults directly back
OF the banking room; one for the use
of the bank proper, and the other is
devoted entirely to deposit boxes, and
is constructed in the latest and most
approved manner, with a fve-ply

an attractive pattern The boxes are
OF various sizes from 2 inches in
height and 6 inches wide to 6 inches
square, and Is inches in depth. Each
box has its own key and combination.
There is an additional vault above
these two vaults on the second floor
which will be used entirely for the
keeping of records, books, etc., of the
bank
To the right Iof the safe deposit
vault is passage way. leading direct
ly to the Directors room. 1t is 15x2O
feet, and has large fire place with
oak mantel directly opposite the door,
with large windows on each side and
triple window at the end of the
room. 1t will be painted in delicate
green, having paneled wainscoting to
the height of four feet. 1t will be
fitted up with heavy furniture, and
will be made most comfortable and
attractive.
To the left of the Directors room
is the clerk room, which has pri-
vate passage way to the banking
room, and is fitted up with lockers,
etc., for the use of the clerks of the
bank.
The basement is made light and
airy and perfectly dry, having a
heavy concrete floor.
/. The second floor consists of four
rooms, three back of the vault, and
one on the side of the vault. The
three rear rooms will be used as COM
mittee rooms and rooms which will
be devoted to the going over of old
records and books. The room on the
side of the vault is for the watchman,
and has two windows which look out

The business of the new bank was
first conducted in the Dare building
on East Commerce street, and shortly
afterward the lot on South Laurel
street was purchased. Upon this a
handsome banking house was erected
1t will be remembered as one of the
pleasing improvements of its time,
being of Gothic design, pressed brick

located that the watchman has per-
feet control of the building.
The building is heated by steam,
the radiators being located, when pos
sible, under the windows so that cold
air entering the windows will be
heated before reaching far into the
room
The building is lighted by both gas
and electricity
| The janitor has a separate electric
light in his room, and a switch con-
trolling all lights in the building. If
for any reason he wishes to have the
bank illuminated, he can turn on all
lights from his room and the entire
building will be brilliantly lighted ex-
cept his own room. In this way he
has thorough control over the build
ing at night as well as day.
The sanitary conditions have re-
ceived a great deal of attention and
will be of the latest and most ap-
proved type, having local vents and
open connections
The windows of the bank are pro-
tected by heavy iron grilles, securely
anchored into the walls.
A great deal of study has been given
to the arrangement of the bank by the
building committee and the officers of
the bank so that the business can be
conducted in systematic, quick and
thorough manner; great attention
being given to the convenience of the
banks patrons.
The offices, rooms, banking room,
vaults, etc., are SO situated that one
entering the building can see at a
glance how the business is conducted,
how the money, securities, books,
ETC., are kept, and be convinced as to
the security Of the building against

FOUND DEAD IN HIS CHAIR.
Victor Young, Recluse, Dies
Alone and is Found as He
Lived, Alone.

Monday afternoon the lifeless
body of Victor Young was found sit
ting in his comfortable chair at his
home on South Pearl street. The
man had evidently been dead since
Saturday night
Young was sixty three years old, a
j cooper, by trade and had little shop
down on South Pearl street near Jeffer-
son. Saturday night he was seen GO
ing in the house. Sunday the house
remained closed, and yesterday there
was no appearance of life about the
place.
Late Monday afternoon the neigh
bors became anxious and James Chap
man, who has plumbing establish
ment nearby, made an investigation
and found the lifeless body of Young
in an arm chair.
The door was forced There was
the lifeless form of the old man, sit
ting in comfortable position, in his
favorite arm chair, with his feet upon
a nearby settee
The body was partially undressed,
indicating that Young had retired
and feeling badly had arisen and was
sitting in his chair for change.
Evidently the body had been hfeless
since Saturday. Appoplexy was the
cause of death.
Coroner Mcpherson took charge of
the body and it was later viewed by
the County Physician. No inquest
was deemed necessary. Young had
been bachelor. He was living alone,
depending upon his ooopering to
make living. He had done little,
and recently complained to friends
that he would soon have to go to the
Aims House.

been fighting fire since O'Clock this
afternoon, and only by almost super
human effort was the whole village
saved from the fiercest forest fire ever
seen in this section The fire started
about midday near Williamstown, 10
miles away, and famed by a gale all
day soon was beyond all control, and
Winslow village, being in direct line
that the fire must take, messengers
were dispatched to warn the people of
their danger.
William Robinson, superintendent for
j. G. Rosengarten, of Philadelphia,
who owns the Winslow tract, with
gang of men, back-fired against the
main fire and turned it to the east of
the village. Several families living
near the burning woods moved all
their household goods into the middle
OF large field to save them. A barn
on the Rosengarten farm was de-
stroyed Houses in the town were
constantly in danger from sparks set
tling on the roofs, and women and
children carried water to save them.
Not less than 5000 acres of oak and
pine timber has been destroyed. The
fire is still raging tonight, travelling
towards Cedar Lake and Landisville.

PLAIN TALK
To Catarrh Sufferers

Every person suffering from Ca
tarrh in its many forms knows that
the common lotions, salves and
douches, do not cure. 1t is needless
to argue this point or to cite cases OF
failure, because every victim of ca
tarrhal trouble knows it for himself
If he has tried them.
A local application, if it does any
thing at all, simply gives temporary
relief; wash, lotion, salve or pow
der cannot reach the seat of the dis
case which is the blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to re-
lieve the blood of catarrhal poison by
seoreting large quantities of mucous.
the discharge sometimes closing up
the nostrils descending to the throat
and larynx, causing an irritating
cough, continual clearing of the
throat, deafness, indigestion and
many other disagreeabe and persist
ent symptoms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal treatment;
remedy which will gradually cleanse
the system from catarrhal poison al d
remove the fever and congestion al
ways present in the mucous MEM
braue.
The best remedies for this purposa
are eucalyptol, sauguinaria ana ny
drastin, but the diff ,ulty has always
been to get these valuable curatives
combined in one palatable, convenient
and efficient form.
Recently this has been accomplished
aud the preparation put on the mar
ket under the name OF Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets; they are large pleasant
tast ng lozenges, so that they may be
slowly dissolved in the mouth. thus
every part of the mucous
membrane and finally the stomach
and intestines.
An advantage to be considered also
is that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets con-
tain no cocaine, morphine or poison
Gus narcotics, so often found in ca
tarfh powders, and the use of which
of en- entails habit more dangerous
than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for full sized
package and are probably the safest
and most effectual catarrh cure on the
marEat
