FREEHOLDERS In SESSION.
An Adjourned Meeting of the
County Legislators at the
Court House Tuesday.

1t was hot day for legislation, but
at the last meeting of the Board of
Freeholders resolution was passed
fixing Tuesday as the proper time for
the considering of some legislation
asked for by the Bridgeton and Mill
vile Traction Company.
In it's proposed important extension
OF the Port Norris road, the Bridge
ton and Millville Traction Company
desires to cross a county bridge at the
intersection of the Lawrence and
Downe township lines. At the last
mentioned meeting application was
made by the company for permission
to cross this bridge.
At the same time the application
was made the Board appointed COM
mittee to investigate the condition of
the bridge, and report before action
was taken.
1t was warm day for a meeting
and the members of the Board soon
stripped off their coats and gave a
very clever imitation of the society
shirt waist man.
The Board punched up in the west
end of the room, which was by far
cooler than the other end where the
sun was doing some business.
Director Reeves called the meeting
to order, and the roll was answered
by all the members excepting Messrs.
Cosier, Rogers and Dunham.
The Board plunged into the business
OF the session, committees reported
upon the condition of bridges, desired
to be crossed by the trolley.
Committees recommended to the
Board that certain bridges and Gull
verts be crossed by the trolley and the
resolutions were adopted.
The Board adjourned.

SHE WANTS TO
SEE HER BABY.
BridgetOn Woman Asks State
Authorities to Help Her
Find a Child.

Trenton, July 27.-Annie Mason
wants her baby. She does not know
where the little tot is and does not
know anybody, except the governor
of the state, who does know where
the child is living, and she is not al
together sure that he knows. At any
rate, she called at the executive office
the other day, looking for the COVER
nor, to ask permission to see the
child.
The governor was not in and Col
onel Fox, the executive clerk, could
only direct her to write to the COVER
nor if she was in a hurry.
The baby was born while the
mother was New Jersey prison con-
vict She was sentenced from Bridge
ton, and was sent up for stealing.
The child first saw light in the
Florence Mission, of this city.
The prison was no place in which
to rear the child and the authorities
decided that it must be taken away.
The governor took a great interest
in the unfortunate youngster
When Annie Mason was released
she said that she was determined to
lead a new life, and secured employ
ment with a Burlington county
farmer. She has not seen the baby
since it was taken away from her a
little over year ago.
The mother love has taken possess
sion of the woman of late and she
thinks and thinks of the little life
that she brought into the world.
The child has no one to call father
and the mother has no one to call
husband The remembrance of her
past must have entailed mental suffer-
ing, and it may be out of this bitter
ness there has grown in her heart the
flower of affection for the baby that
alone makes her life bearable.
The child is believed to be in a pri-
vate home, where it will doubtless re-
main.

BRIDGETON MAN
VICTIM OF HEAT.
Harry Lee is Frustrated Down
TOwn-NOt Serious, Medical
Aid Revived Him.

Overcome with the intense heat.
Harry Lee, about twenty eight years
old, fell Frustrated, down town Mon
day afternoon about half past one
O'Clock. Lee is an employe of the
pipe mill and owing to the hot
weather, he could not work, and
started to his home on Burlington
avenue, near the Buckshutem road.
The corner of Commerce and Laurel
streets was reached when Mr.. Lee
staggered and fell. Assistance was
given the Frustrated man but he could
not walk as he was in a very weak
condition and entirely unable to
move.
Mr.. Geo. Paullin of Fithian's drug
store gave the man medical aid and
proposed he be taken to the Bridge
ton Hospital Mr.. George Ogden,
hackman, was secured to remove
him. But when DIR. Thompson s
office was reached Mr.. Lee revived
and said he wished to be taken there.
His request was complied with and
for two hours DR.. Thompson worked
with him and about four O'Clock Mr..
Lee was improved so as to be able to
be taken home. This morning he is
convalescent but very weak and out of
danger.
1t is thought one thing due to the
prostration is that Mr.. Lee drank an
excess of ice water Immediately after
stopping work and was taken with
cramps.

Exterior to be Painted

The Cumberland National Bank
building, located as it is, upon the
most prominent corner in the city,
will soon be more than ever impos-
ing. 1t has been decided to paint the
entire exterior of the large structure,
and it will be especially attractive
owing to the prominent position it
occupies. The architecture of the
Cumberland Bank is very pretty, but
the brick work in recent years has
been greatly discolored. The paint
ing of the entire structure light, with
the brown stone trimmings will add
very much to the appearance of the
institution.

MANY RED MEN
DON THE WAR PAINT.
Over One Thousand Recruits to
the Tribes in New Jersey
Great Increase in Popular
Order

. While few of the Tribes of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men of the State
are yet to be heard from, there are "a
sufficient number of reports in the
hands of the Great Chief of Records
to guarantee that the prediction made
that the net increase for the past six
months would reach 1000 members,
has been verified, the figures this
morning showing 1859 over the mem
bership of December last, with 12
tribes yet to hear from. This good
showing has not been confined to any
one particular section of the State,
but has been widely scattered, ex-
tending from Cape May to Sussex
counties.
There are 40 districts in the State
and of these 40 show an increase
while the remaining nine either show
slight losses or remain at their pre-
vious figures. Camden, as usual, is
at the front, District No. 10, compris-
ing Ottawa, Wyoming, Black Hawk,
Dakota and Massasoit Tribes, leading
the procession with clear gain of
179 members. The other districts
which have made excellent records
are: District 30, taking in the Tribes
of Pleasantville, Leeds Point, Steel
manville and Absecon, increase ia
District ~, Millville and Vineland,
increase 10; District 43, Newark, Har-
rison, Belleville and Kearney, in
crease 88; District 46, Burlington,
Florence, Columbus, increase rs; Dis
trict 6, Morristown, Boonton, Rock
away, increase Ga; District 81,
Perth Amboy, Elizabeth, Railway,
Carteret and Woodbridge, increase
So; District 80, part of Tren-
ton, increase so; District 40, part of
Warren county, increase so; District
%, Atlantic City, increase AS; District
8, Lambertville, Pennington, French
town, Stockton, increase 46. The
other districts increasing run from
to 25. Only one district makes SER
icus loss, which numbers the even
100.
While the past six months work
was record breaker for gains in old
tribes, letters from the different dis
tricts are of an encouraging nature
for the present term, as adoptions, re-
instatements and admissions by card
are going on in every part of the State,
and all indications point to a dupli-
cation of the increase by the first of
next Cold Moon.

THIRTY DAYS.

For Sunday Disturbance on the street

Monday: Pierce was brought be-
fore Mayor Hampton. After a severe
feprimand by His Honor, the law
breaker was given a sentence of thirty
days in the county Jail. Sunday dis
turbances must be broken up, says the
Mayor and peace and quiet will be
observed if possible.

STATE COMMITTEE TO MEET.
September 10 Suggested as Conven-
tion Date.

Trenton, July PA meeting of
the Republican State Committee will
be held at Newark early in Septem-
Der, when the date for the holding of
the Republican. State Convention at
Trenton will be fixed and the call for
the convention officially issued. 1t
was thought that the date probably
would be Thursday, September 10.
A new State Committee and a sue
cessor to Franklin Murphy as chair
man will probably be chosen on the
same date. Republicans generally ap-
pear to favor short and active cam
paign, and say that six weeks will
afford ample time to place the candi-
date and the issues fully before the
people.

GASOLINE STOVE
MAKES TROUBLE.
Without Apparent Cause the
Stove is i'm a Blaze and Does
Much Damage.

Much Damage.
Just before ten O'Clock Friday morn
ing an alarm of fire was turned in
from box No. So, and Chief Kinkle
and the Department responded
promptly.
Up at the corner of Nichols and
North streets was the scene of the
trouble, a gasoline stove causing the
damage.
Here lives Adam Harbert, an en-
ployee of the Cumberland glassworks
Mrs. Harbert, with her baby, was at
home, Mrs. Harbert being engaged in
baking, using gasoline stove. With
out apparent cause the gasoline blazed
up, and there was an explosion, shat
tering the stove. The baby was quite
seriously burned, the flames shooting
through the lower rooms of the house
with remarkable rapidity.
A gentleman by the name OF
Spencer, who with others rushed in,
and while assisting, had his hand
burned considerably.
Much of the furniture of the down
stairs rooms was destroyed, the flames
feasting upon it before it could be re-
moved. In the kitchen very little was
saved, while the sitting room furni-
ture was damaged considerably.
Those who quickly gathered when
the flames first burst forth worked
hard and saved further spread of the
flames. When the Fire Department
arrived the flames had been checked,
and under control.
The dwelling belonged to Capt.
John Waller, and the damage to the
interior of the lower floor rooms was
considerable.
Her Birthday.
A pleasant surprise was given Mrs.
Adam Johnson of 252 N. Pearl street,
Friday, July Goth, in honor of her
Goth birthday.
1t was about 10 O'Clock children and
grandchildren began to arrive at the
home of Mrs. Johnson with baskets
laden with good things. Mrs. john
son was the mother of thirteen chill
dren, twelve of which are now living
and there are twenty -four grand chill
dren, in all of whom she has great
pride. At twelve O'Clock the guests
needed but one invitation to the we'll
prepared dinner consisting of all good
things among which was chicken pot
pie. The part of the day taken for
satisfying the hunger was from 10 to
2.S0 O'Clock, prolonged by Mr.. J. E.
johnson, who it seems could not get
satisfied until he had eaten some of
every cake.
Music was furnished in the after
noon, and then ice-cream. Miss Re-
becca Conner seemed to like this part
OF the day as small plate and spoon
was not sufficient but large bowl
and tablespoon was required.
Late in the afternoon the guests be-
gan to return to their homes wishing
Mrs. johnson many more happy birth
days.
Those present were, Mr.. and Mrs.
Adam johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. J. F.
johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. John
