MILLVILLE'S CARRIE

She Tells How She is Ready to
Look After These Drinking
Joints and She Does 1t.

Millville, Feb 26. Mrs. Walter
Hughes, the Carrie Nation of South
Nillville, may lead the organization
Of a club of women who will start
work clearing out the "beer clubs"
Which flourish in this city.
Mrs. Hughes is very modest about
her work of Sunday night. She said
to-day; Eyes; it is true 1 visited
tle Joint to see if my husband was
there, but | did not break all the bot
ties. l quietly stood alongside the
iouse with'a club in my hand, listen
ing to their talk, and recognized my
husbands voice. / called to him ::
Walter, Walter; come out of there 2
bat no one responded. l waited a
moment, and became so angry that I
welded the club against the windows,
smashing the panes into pieces.
The proprietor of the place came
rushing out, followed by an angry
crowd of men, and demanded to know
what 1 was trying to do / told them
my husband was in there, as 1 recog-
nlzed his voice, and I then demanded
admission. They afterward consented
to let me in, but my husband was not
there; he had gone out another door.
l fterward saw him and he accom-
panied me home. 1 hope the next
visitor will clean the place out COM
pletely, for think it is a shame that
young men should frequent such
places.
There is talk about town to-day that
woman's club would be organized
to visit the "joints y Tonight a
city reform movement was organized,
and adopted resolutions pledging the
organization to enforce the laws
against speakeasies and other illegal
resorts.

JAMES III. BACON
DIED SUNDAY EVENING.
After a Long Illness Aged Gentle
man Passes Away at His
Greenwich Home.

Sunday night, James HI. Bacon. a
most respected gentleman ofGreenwich
township, died after long and suffer-
ing illness, aged seventy-six.
Mr. Bacon was a farmer. a staid
gentleman of the old school, and has
always lived in his modest way in
Bacon's Neck. He was twice mar
ried, the first time to sister of the late
Jacob M Harris, and one son, Walter
I'll. Bacon, the well known Bridgeton
lawyer, was born to them. After the
death of Mrs. Bacon, he married
again, this time Miss Elizabeth
Woodruff, of Bridgeton, three sons
being born to them All of the
boys and the widow survive the de-
ceased. Mr.. Bacon was a Presby
terian, always a consistent man and a
rigid disciplinarian in that faith.
In the success of his eldest son, the
lawyer, he always took the greatest
pride, and he has fondly watched his
successful career as it has unfolded.
Recently, lawyer Bacon went to Flor
ida, and during his absence, the
father was taken more seriously ill.
But the old gentleman seemed deter
mined to live until his son returned
and he did, and then was ready to
enter into rest.

TOMATO SKIN WAR.

Refuse From Tomato Packing Fac
tory Spread Over Lot for Fer
tilizer and Indignant People
Take Vigorous Action to Abate
Alleged Nuisance
A novel war is on down at New
port, and pretty much the entire com
munity is watching the outcome of
the vigorous action of residents who
determined among themselves to abate
what they declare to be an unbearable
nuisance.
Former Freeholder Peter Cosier is
tomato packer, having a large fac
tory near the railway station of that
place.
Usually during the season, when
red ripe tomatoes are packed in the
cans, the ever increasing accumulation
of skins are carted away and hidden
from sight.
During the last season, as the story
comes from Newport, Mr. Cosier
buried this tomato offal in deep wells
upon the ground. The people thought
permanently, but as it later appeared,
was but temporary.
Mr.. Cosier has some property quite
a part of Newport proper, as it is
claimed, which he farms, and recent
ly he began the fertilizing of it by
taking from the pits the accumulation
of now rank and decayed vegetable
matter, and spreading it broadcast
over the ground
Immediately there went up, as is
told, an awful smell, as we'll as a
howl from the people, but Mr.. Cosier
did not pay any attention to the pro-
tests.
The near by people declared they
couldn't stand the nuisance and have
their systems filled with the miserable
fragrance while the slow, tortuous
law paths were traversed, and they
determined upon vigorous measures.
4 Tuesday they got together, at
least some of them did, and with
rakes, hoes and shovels trespassed
upon the lands of Mr.. Cosier and be-
gan to rake up, gather and cover the
nauseating stuff.
Mr.. Cosier came out and with pen
Gil and paper, made copy of the
names of those thus engaged together
with the names of those who hap
pened along, who may be. called as
witnesses in future law suit which
seems certain to grow out of the
affair.
Considerable excitement just now
agitates the entire people of the pro-
gressive Newport town.

Washington, ID. G..

Washington, d. c., Feb. 25.-Jus-
tice Bernard, of this city, has signed
an order in the suit of Arthur E.
Buchanan, formerly of Trenton, at
present an employee of the War De-
partment, in his suit for divorce
from Mary E. Buchanan, denying his
petition. Mr.. Buchanan is the son of
the late Congressman James Bu-
chanan, of Trenton. He was divorced
from his first wife few years ago
and has been trying to obtain di-
vorce from his second wife.
The engagement has been announced
of Miss Caroline S. Green to Mr.. Ar
thur Johns. Miss Green is the
daughter of the late Robert S. Green,
Governor of New Jersey, and comes
of distinguished New Jersey family
Mr.. Johns is the grandson of the late
Bishop of Virginia.
Senator Sewell has offered an
amendment to the Sundry Civil bill
to increase the appropriation for the
support and maintenance of the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Soldiers
It has been referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs of which he is a
member.

Water Department for the new en-
gine, and bids would be opened when
received
Mr.. Powell stated that the people
who owned the Atlantic street, Lin
coin street and Vine street sewers,
proposed to deed these sewers to the
city upon the same terms as the West
Side Association had surrendered it's
sewer to the city, viz; perpetual free
use of the same for those tapped into
it. Upon his motion, Council decided
to accept the sewer plant.
Recorder Hewitt said that in pur-
suance of instructions he had served
notice upon Harry R.. Dare, Constable
of the Second ward, summoning him
to trial upon pending charges. Dare
had summarily settled the whole mat
ter by promptly sending in his resig-
nation which was presented, and
upon motion of Mr.. Powell accepted.
A motion was then made by Mr..
Nichols declaring the office vacant,
and the motion prevailed unani-
mously.
Mr.. Nichols remarked that in view
OF the proposed merging of spring and
fall elections, he proposed that his
proposition to submit the question of
an election before the people, be laid
upon the table. He also stated that
| the Board of Education had appointed
committee to investigate the law
and determine what system was best
for the government of the schools.
The matter went over.
Mr.. Sellers of the Printing and Or
dinance Committee, moved to take up
on second reading the ordinance pro-
viding for an annual license fee for
the Opera House of fifty dollars.
Mr.. Powell stated that he had in
vestigated the matter to some extent
and had learned that from March,
1900, to Jan. 31st, 1901, the Opera
House management had paid into the
City Treasury the sum of $3.50 for
license fees. Mr. Powell said that
while in sense the theatre might be
OF some use in the city, yet the or
ganizations that came here, took thou
sands of dollars away from the town,
and they should be made to pay some
| license fee for so doing, according to
the character of the peri ormances that
were brought here. Mr. Powell
thought that the present fee was
little enough. Thereupon he moved
i that the entire matter be indefinitely
postponed. The motion prevailed and
| the ordinance was put to sleep
Charles Lee presented himself and,
was sworn as official dog catcher to
complete the unexpired term of Henry
/ Draper, resigned.
Mr.. Nichols expressed himself as
highly indignant because the Legisla-
ture was about to merge spring and
fall elections, and thus divorcing the
people from one of its time honored
customs. He thereupon introduced a
resolution protesting against the pro-
posed legislation, and urging the Sen
ators to prevent the passage of the
law. The resolution was passed by
unanimous vote and copy ordered
sent to Senator Stokes.
| The Council then adjourned

PURCHASES BIG PROPERTY.
Will ManufaC tur, iGreat Quantities
of Candy.sat His Own Plant on
Cohansey Street, Where He Will
Employ Many Hands.

An important real estate deal took
place this morning, Louis Sagle, the
candy manufacturer purchasing the
property where was located the Scull
paint works. This property has
frontage of sixty feet, with depth of
one hundred and twenty and the pur-
chase includes the factory building,
the dwelling house and barn and out
buildings
Immediately Mr.. Sagel will begin
to tear out and rebuild and the factory
will be arranged and adapted particu-
larly for the manufacture of candy
upon a large scale. He will fit up
the place with steam, and do much of
the work with the latest improved
machinery built for that purpose.
For the present the factory will be
driven upon the manufacture of the
Jersey Brand chocolates, a confection
that is meeting with the greatest pos
sible success. Mr.. Sagel will put
salespeople on the road, and expects
to make a great drive on his goods.
At present, in his crowded factory,
ON Commerce street, Mr.. Sagel en-
ploys twelve people When his fac
tory gets in operation he will employ
not less than fifty, and more as the
trade increases. He will at once spend
from $1,000 to $500 getting the factory
in shape. He expects to be able to
put his many employees and others
that he has engaged at work in three
weeks
