"A large amount of wheat in Salem and

Gloucester City has gone into the

"A large manufacturing business is said
to be negotiating for the lot formerly the
site of the Standard Window Glass Works.
with view to locating there. With its

-Paulsboro is taking on the habil-
iments of the city with great regularity
these days. A bank was organized last
week and following it by few days is a
proposition by w. J. Peall and Thos. P.

shall not exceed 81 per thousand. May
they all succeed.
Persons holding shares one hundred
months old or more in the State Mutual
Building and Loan Association may with
draw and receive so per cent of the accrued

ment and is done to induce members to
withdraw because of the large amount of
cash idle in the Association treasury.
Members who withdraw on this basis may
take new shares without paying the en-
trance fee of one dollar per share.
John N. Miller, living near the Mantua
creek had narrow escape with his life on
Tuesday night about 8 o'clock. The place
being infested with rats, he determined to
get rid the of the pest. Loading his
muzzle-loading gun, he fired at one, but
the gun exploded, badly bruising and
lacerating his arm and one foot, the main
load, however, passing between his arm
and side, thus saving his life. Dr. Read
ing was hastily summoned and did much
toward repairing damages.
There is continued and genuine de-
mand for dwellings in Woodbury., which
can be met only by the construction of new
houses. One of the real estate agents in
formed us yesterday that this week two
applicants, one for $50 per month house and
one for $45 per month house, went else
where because of lack of houses here near
that value, though the general demand is
for houses to rent at from SIS to 500. 1t
is not for lack of desirable land that this
demand is not met. What is the reason?
Il. Benjamin Clark, one of the Oldest
employees of the trolley road in the capacity
of Waterman at Newton creek bridge and
oiler of tracks, met death suddenly last
Saturday afternoon while in performance Of
his duty at the bridge. While turning the
draw, he fell through into the water, and
drowned before help could reach him.
When recovered a bruise was found at the
root of the nose, and it is thought he struck
some projection when he fell, and was
unconscious when he reached the water.
He resides in Gloucester and leaves wife
and large family. The trolley manage
ment say he was faithful servant.
Mime Hoste Rachor and Chas Hall,
one of his guests, drove over to the National
Park services last Sunday evening behind
Mr.. Raehors famous road team In at
tempting to make short cut to the main
pavilion they drove across large field
from which the stumps had not all been
removed Mr.. R. guided his team over
one which seemed to set low, but the
wagon was lower, and the front axle held
fast. The sudden halt, started the horses,
and they broke the swingletree in twink
ling, and sped away in the twilight. One
of them stopped at a tree that came directly
in its way while the other ran into a nearby
farm yard The horse that came in contact
with the tree had a big nose bleed, hui
nothing more serious than broken swingle-
tree occurred.
