Bridgeton pioneer., 1901-07-04

The New Jersey Supreme Court,
through Justice Collins, has officially
declared that the bicycle is vehicle.
A crossing of the Erie railroad tracks
was in such bad condition that Emma
R. Son, of Newark, met with an acci-
dent while riding her wheel thereon.
The company contended that bicycle
was not vehicle and facilities must
not be provided for it to cross the
tracks. The court held that bicycle
rider was lawfully using the highway,
and her failure to see a gap in the
railroad crossing was not negligence.
So that bicycle is vehicle when it
approaches railroad crossing, but it
is baggage when it approaches
that same railroads baggage cars.

REWARDS FOR FAITHFUL,
Glass Factory Boys Get Back Money
for Vacation.

Clayton, N. j., June 30.-The
Moore Brothers Glass Company last
evening paid about $4,000 in "back
money" to some hundred boys in
their employ in the factories. 1t is
for faithful attention to their work
during the past fire. AS a rule glass
factories are greatly handicapped by
shortage of boy help, and this firm
adopted the "back money" system a
few years ago, and it proved a profit
able venture from the start. The
boys know that by faithful attention
to their business they will have vaca-
tion money, and it proves a great in
centive for them. The young toilers
received from SIS to $50 each.

RELIEF CAME
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Plenty of Wind, Some Little
Rain and a Great Relief.

The hot wave has not been broken.
but the people enjoyed a breathing
spell yesterday afternoon and last
night.
With the thermometer struggling
on at l03 mark, people discovered sus-
plciously black clouds in the sky and
they were watched with interest.
The clouds grew greater and blacker,
and BY and by there was quite blow
out, little bit Of rain, and the mer-
curry dropped twenty degrees in an
hour. A high wind continued to blow
all the evening, and living was plea
sure.
Down about Mauricetown there was
a deluge. The thunder and lightning
was fierce, and there was a terrific
hallstorm. Corn, tomato vines, wat
ermelons, were ruined. The hail cut
all vegetation in shreds. The storm
was confined to very narrow area
Late at night the skies cleared, and
tins morning the sun was bright
again.

HUNT BROTHERS.
CHILD INJURED.
The Little Son of John Opperman
Run Down by a Wagon.

Charles, the two-year-o son of
Charles Opperman tobacconist, of
Commerce street, came near being
killed Saturday night by having the
wheels of wagon pass over his body.
1t was about ten o'clock when the
accident happened. One of Dona-
ghay's delivery wagons was being
driven past Opperman's store and the
little fellow ran out in front of the
team. The horse was going too fast
to bring it to a standstill and the
front wheel struck the child's head,
knocking it down. Before any further
damage could be done a young
clerk in Opperman' store ran out and
picked the child from the street and
carried it into the store. DR..
Kirchhoff was called, who made an
examination but found no bones
broken. The child's face was badly
bruised.

Dry Atlantic.

Justice Hendrickson's action
towards saloon keepers of Atlantic
City, which has for it's purpose the
closing on Sunday of all places where
liquor is sold, will, no doubt, raise a
storm about the judges ears, but he
is simply doing his duty, which is
plainly set before him in the law.
To close the saloons in Atlantic CITY
Sundays means the stopping of large
revenue drawn by the proprietors
from visitors who flock in thousands
to that resort on the Sabbath day with
the purpose of having thigh old
time.
1t means, also, that these visitors
are not going to enjoy themselves as
thoroughly and in the way that they
had planned. But these two facts
should not stand in the way of the
enforcement of the law, which strictly
forbids the Sunday selling of liquor.
Even though the saloons are closed
it will be possible for visitors to get
all the beer, whiskey or wine that is
good for them if they go to hotel
and buy square meal as an accom-
paniment. If they eat when they
drink they will drink less and be
better off when the day is finished.
Open saloons on Sunday are not a
necessity in Atlantic City or any
other community. The man who
drinks rum every day in the week
ought to rest from the habit, to some
extent at least, one day in the seven,
and Sunday is good day on which to
ease up.

CIVIL CASE AT COURT.
Judge Nixon Heard an Attachment

Before Judge Nixon civil case was
tried Tuesday last. Arthur Russell

the Teachers Building and Loan AS
sociation of New York City ON attach
ment. Lawyer Herbert Bartlett, of
Vineland, appeared for Russell and
William A. Logue looked after the in
terest of the defendants

disposed you may remove your coats, !"
and Court proceeded in shirt waist or
der. A panel of eighteen had been
drawn to return from the last term of
Court. After the entire number had
been exhausted Sheriff Hendee en-

Engine Horses Thrown.

Promptly at the tap of the first
alarm the three fine horses of the De-
partment were hurriedly hooked up
to the engine. Driver Neal leaped for
the seat, and the dash for the fire
began. The team was pulled back as
much as possible coming out Orange
street, and when the team swung
around in Commerce street, was only
fairly well started. Just at the inter
section of the two streets a Hebrew
named Braunstein stopped his team
to watch the engine come out. Off
Ger Gaun tried twice to get the
Hebrew out of the way, but he persis-
tently refused to move. Driver Neal,
when he dashed out of Orange street,
had to swing clear over Commerce
street to get out of Braunstein's way
and that is where he made mistake.
He ought to have swung into the
Braunstein rig and spilled his team
over the street instead of the splendid
fire horses.
The long swing, with the grey
horse "Bob" jumping, caused the
latter to slip and fall. "Bob''
knocked Erred" down, and "Row
dy" came on the heap. Driver Neal
had a very narrow escape from going
off the seat, but managed to save
himself.
The grey horse Erred" was pretty
badly cut up about the shoulders and
head, but fortunately not seriously,
and as soon as change was made,
"Fred" and "Rowdy" were dashing
off with the Silsby. The La France
engine had one of the tongues badly
bent.
1t was quickly rumored about that
one of the horses had killed himself
in the fall, but happily there is moth
ing in this. The animals are not seri-
ouSly hurt.

N. J. Volunteers to enlist for the
Civil War in which he served bravely
for two years.
He belonged to Co. K, 18th Regi-

that which comes from duty faithfully
performed.
In Marcel, 1871, he was married to

County House, i'll which capacity he
made many friends.
Always prominent in political cir
cles he was appointed post master
Oct. 1898, and re-appointed, in which
office he has shown his sterling worth.
Mr.. Tomlinson was business man
with host of friends. He was gener-
Gus to fault A member of Marlboro
church he did not wear his religion
on the lapel Of his coat, but his kind,
honest heart was ever ready to help
his fellow men.
Failing health compelled him to
give up the store business last De-
cember to his son Joseph. Notwith-
standing the best medical aid and
nursing, he gradually sank until the
peaceful slumber closed his eyes for
ever.
Mr.. was member of the Odd Eel
lows lodge in Bridgeton and Artemis

Presbyterian Church, of Bridgeton,
preached, taking for his text Psalms
1877: 2-"For so he giveth his beloved
Sleep"

favorite songs. Friends came from
far and near to pay their last respects
to this well known man.
The pail bearers were E. R. Bon
ham, S. M. Allen and Geo. Whipple,
Bridgeton; Joseph Whitecar, Roads
town, and Joseph Bowen, Shiloh.
Some beautiful floral designs and a
very large concourse of friends fol-
lowed the remains to the grave.
An indulgent father and kind friend
will be much missed.

Praise For Our Hospital.

The Millville Reporter of Saturday
says:
Mrs. Reginald Payne, who has just
returned home after having success
full operation performed at the Bridge
ton Hospital, speaks in the highest
terms of the treatment received at
this institution. This speaks well for
Bridgeton and their hospital Would
it not be well if Millville could not
have a hospital of her own, to endow
the hospital with bed or two when
we would feel at liberty to send per-
sons there when serious accident
warranted it.

bered Mr.. Lutz by sending floral de-
sign.

The Central Railroad Company of
New Jersey has decided to take off
the morning train down from Bridge
ton to Port Norris, and the new
schedule went into effect on Mon
day last. That leaves the lower
part of the county in pretty bad shape
until the Bridgeton and Millville
Traction Company gets it's trolley ex-
tension through to Bivalve. The only
train out of Port Norris in the future
will be the early morning trip, with
return after six at night.

day night at the home of Miss .Kath-

gard to the reunion which will be
given one week from last night. The

use of the High School building
The Board of Education consented to
allow the reception to take place.
The programme was completed and
committees appointed for various
work. One of the features of the en-
tertainment will be a class paper
composed by five members of the

With some men working is habit,
and it is healthy one. A good many
men appreciate occupation more than
they do the compensation they receive
for their services.
The other day Camden man of the
name of William Fishman suicided
because he was discharged from the
service of firm of cigar manufac-
turers for whom he had worked
twenty seven years.
He was unable to find employment
elsewhere and couldn t reconcile him
self to life of idleness, so he closed
the book by jumping into the river.

TWO FAMILIES
ARE HOMELESS.
Walnut Street House Entirely
Destroyed by Fire Monday
Morning.


With the thermometer working up
ward to along about 85 in shady
spots, at $50 O'Clock Monday morn
ing, fire alarm from box 50, Bank
and Marion streets, announced that it
was about to be hotter in one local
ity
The fire was in the double dwelling
house of Mrs. Ashbrooke, on Walnut
street, opposite Parker.
In one half of this structure lives
John Sheppard, railroad brakeman,
and in the other lived William Broad
water, carpenter,
Mrs. Sheppard was working over a
gasoline stove, and it is said that it
toppled over. Anyway there was an
explosion and the flames spread with
startling rapidity. Mrs. Sheppard
was quite seriously burned, although
happily not fatally, and made her
escape from the room.
The flames fairly ran along the car
pets, licking the furniture ravenously,
and in an incredibly short time the
entire house was roar of flames.
Not moment to save anything, all
the furniture being burned.
The flames spread to the other side
of the house, and the same result was
there. The furniture could not be
saved, the fire driving the people back
who made an attempt to go in the
place.
A lady, quite i'll, living at the
Broadwater house, was carried from
the burning house upon a cot, and
she was quite much blistered
The hosemen were first upon the
scene, and Chief Kinkle and Assist
ant Chief Heller got a plug stream
upon the burning structure. So fierce
were the flames, however, that the
plug streams did not accomplish a
great deal
The mixup of the fire horses made
change of engines necessary, and
when the Silsby arrived, the flames
had gotten under headway.
AS soon as steam was up, two
streams were put upon the blaze, and
being well directed the fire was soon
under control, although the building
was entirely Quilted and the loss is
entire.
The little building is situated di-
rectly in very closely settled dis
trict, and the firemen were obliged to
work hard to save adjoining property.
The next door residence of Joshua G.
Surran was fired, but no damage was
done.
Firemen Joe Riley and John Miller,
who were working close to the flames,
were quite badly blistered, but not
seriously hurt.

7APPY OCCASION
IN HONOR OF PASTOR.
The Thirty-fifth Anniversary of
the PastOrate of Rev. I'll. HI.
Beadle.

The Christian Endeavor Society of
the Second Presbyterian Church gave
the pastor, Rev. H. H. Beadle, a de-
lightful reception in commemoration
of the thirty fifth anniversary of his
pastorate, Thursday evening.
Prettily decorated was the church,
and many there were present when
the Junior Society marched in and
sang an original chorus, $50 Say We
All of U.s." pretty and very appro-
pirate composition of Miss Hattie Ed
wards. 1t was sung to the tune of
America.

A Strange Fact.

Mrs. Peter Mattison, living on Wal
nut street, can say something un-
doubtedly, that no one else living in
Bridgeton can say. She has lived in
Bridgeton for fifteen years and has
never seen down town, the corner of
Commerce and Laurel streets. The
new Cumberland National Bank has
never been seen by Mrs. Mattison al
though it is nearly fifteen years old.
Mrs. Mattison is not ill in the least
and does the housework every day.

Effects of Disease.

Disease has put at least 10000
horses out of service in New York
City. 1t is a sort of influenza, promis-
ing to equqal the famous epizootic
scourge of the early 70''s.
At that time the business of the
large cities was seriously interrupted
The horse cars could run, trucking
was done by hand or by oxen and fire
risk was increased by the difficulty
OF moving the apparatus.
1t is mark of progress that all of
the horses in the country might die
tomorrow without causing inconven-
ience to transportation interests ex-
cept on few lines of trif1ing conse-
quenoe. In New York City some of
the trucking is now done by autos
and several fire engines have already
been equipped for self propulsion.
In fire years more an epidemic of
epizootic will not be able to discomode
seriously the business of any large
city.

Not Much Demand.

Local dealers say that there has
been very little demand for oysters
during the past hot days. It's a

about hundred.

Touching Demonstrations.

A most touching and beautiful
demonstration of the absolute fidelity
OF the American hen to business has
just ONE to light. When carload
OF hay, consigned by Michigan man
to Tarrytown, N. Y, firm, was
opened the other day, fine leghorn
hen was disclosed. How she got into
the car is mystery, but it is certain
that she had been there, without food
or drink, for thirty days. 1t is also
certain that she had laid half dozen
eggs during the trip. Other birds
would have spent their time in Shrek
ing and trying to get out, or have
wasted the precious moments in view
ing the scenery or wondering what
was going to become of them. Most
OF them would have grown sick or
discouraged or misanthropic. 1t is
safe to say that not one of them would
have really settled down to business
as did this same white leghorn. And
yet, it's dollars to doughnuts that she
will not be the subject of single
ode or sonnet.
