A NEW SCHEME
FOR HOME BUYING.
4 Corporation That Provides
Homes for People at Prac-
tically Cost.

There is representative here of a
large concern which is unlike a build
ing association, and yet is one in the
practical sense of the term. The con-
Germ is big one, backed by over a
million dollars of New York capital.
The scheme is to incorporate local
branches of the association, much
after the general building association
scheme. The corporation then, if
business warrants it, buys tract of
land, upon which it erects complete,
modern homes of which it disposes to
members of the association at cost
price. A mortgage is taken upon the
property for the full amount of pur-
chase money. The share holders then
pay the association certain amount
per month as dues, which go to the
payment on the purchase money.
The representation visited many
persons, explaining the situation
and the scheme of the concern
and will attempt to establish a local
here. He said that he had arranged
with local financial institution to
act as trustee for the concern.

THE DELIVERY
...-- TO BE EXTENDED.
Cumberland viii Have More
Rural Free Mail Delivery.

Frank S. Taylor of Washington, D.
O., who has charge of laying out
routes for the Rural Free Mail De-
livery, is in Bridgeton for few DAYS.
He is here drawing maps and laying
out the routes for the delivery west
of Bridgeton.
Congressman Loudenslager has been
working upon this scheme for some
time and he is doing very much better
for the people than was at first ex-
pected.
The route will be much larger than
at first proposed. The new route, by
reason of hard work upon the part of
the Congressman, will cover some
eighty miles of territory, and there
will probably be four carriers. All
of Hopewell, Stow Greek, and part
of Greenwich townships vii, be COW
cred.
This will be a joyful surprise to the
people who will gain the benefit, and
they will be more than ever under
obligations to the Congressman of the
First District.

STATE TREASURER
DIES SUDDENLY.
Well Known Republican Official
Died Very Suddenly Yester-
day at Newark.

Trenton, Dec. 25-State Treasurer
George B. Swain died suddenly to-day
at Newark from apoplexy. The de-
ceased was one of the best known Re-
publican politicians in the northern
part of the State, and was held in
high esteem by his colleagues in the
various State offices and by Republi-
cans generally throughout the State.
His death will make necessary the i'm
mediate appointment of some one to
succeed him. The laws of the State
will not provide for an Assistant
Treasurer, and there is now no one
with authority to sign checks or to
conduct other financial transactions.
The State has something like 50, 900, :
600 on deposit in banks.
The State Treasurer is chosen by
the Legislature. His term is for three
years, and the salary $50, 900. The in
coming Legislature will not convene
until January IA, and Governor Voor-
hees will exercise this prerogative by
making an interim appointment. The
Governor said tonight that he would
probably make an appointment
shortly

RUN OVER
AND BADLY INJURED.
A Little Girl Named Fisher at
FairtOn is Run Down by BIZ
cycle.

Tuesday afternoon while the little
daughter of George Fisher, of Fair
ton, was going home from school, in
company with two other playmates,
she was run into by man riding a
wheel and seriously injured.
The little girls were walking along
path, and as William Duffeld, of
Cedarville, approached on the wheel,
one of the company gave the Fisher
girl push and she fell in the way of
the rider. The wheel passed over her
neck and pedal cut big cash near
the lower jaw. The young girl was
taken to her home in a wagon and is
now under a physicians care.
Z The bicycle was broken but the
rider escaped without serious injury.
The accident was in no way the
fault of Mr.. Dufield as he tried in
vain to clear the girl.

ALMOST KILLED
IN RUNAWAY.
George Kell Frightfully Injured
Monday by Being Thrown
From His Carriage.

Fortunately George Kell, a window
glass worker for the Cumberland Glass
Co., was able Tuesday to tell the
story of frightful accident which
occurred to him Monday afternoon.
When he was picked up from the as
phalt pavement on Broad street, he
was unconscious. Many, who saw
him, thought he was dead
At his home on Grant street, Tuees
day Kell told the detailed story
to Pioneer" reporter. His face
was frightfully cut and bruised, and
his head was swathed in bandages.
There were four ugly cuts about the
head, two of them having been
stitched up. One eye was nearly
closed, and was horribly blackened.
Nasty bruises covered his face, and
his hands were cut and scratched.
Kell was also very weak from loss of
blood, having suffered hemorrhages.
Kell says he recently purchased a
horse and Monday went out to Roads
town for drive. Upon his return he
came across bicycler and he speeded
his horse for a race with the fellow.
The pace was very fast, and when the
Broad street cemetery was reached it
was necessary to take the horse back
suddenly to turn the corner in safety.
In doing this the quiler was broken
and the wagon ran upon the horse.
Greatly frightened the spirited animal
broke into a run and dashed down
Broad street with the speed of the
wind. Kell could do nothing but
guide the animal He had no control.
every time he took the animal back,
pulling the wagon upon the frightened
horse.
At Broad and Atlantic street, the
runaway horse swerved to go around
an approaching vehicle and Kell was
thrown from the wagon. He went
headlong upon the stone pavement,
and was picked up unconscious. The
horse continued on Atlantic street,
and was captured at the McAllister
stables.
Kell was taken to the office of DR..
Kirchhoff, where he was given proper
attention and was then conveyed to
his home

IN THE FIGHT
AT PEKIN'S WALLS.
BridgetOn Boy, a Marine in the
United States Service in the
Fight.

Two years ago, Salathiel A. Wood
ruff, a son of police officer John
Woodruff, left Bridgeton for the West.
A young man, he had learned the
trade of a glass cutter, and he went
West to accept good position
Until one day last week, his folks at
home have not, since that time, re-
ceived any word from him. They
supposed he was quietly working at
his trade and that there was nothing
occurring which he deemed necessary
to write home about.
But in these two years, the Bridge
ton boy has had wondrous expert
ences. In the service of his country
he has been to the Oriental country,
fought with arms under the Ameri-
can flag, returned to the far off Phil
ippine country, to America again,
and now is in a port in the sunny
South.
Young Woodruff tired of the monot-
ony of his trade. He enlisted as a
marine in the United States Navy,
and when the Americans were be-
sieged in Pekin, China, with his ship
he sailed to that far off port. Arriv-
ing there he engaged in the fierce en-
gagement which followed. By his
side was another marine, a young
man who had enlisted from Washing
ton, D. G. He was chum of Wood
ruff. In the victorious battle for the
rescue of those besieged behind the
Legation walls, the chum was shot
down, falling dead at Woodruff's side.
After the service in China, young
Woodruff was ordered to the Philip
pines. He was there for time, and
then came home with his company.
He is now on board the United States
ship "Illinois, at New Orleans.
Woodruff likes the life, he writes
from there, and will finish his five
years service.

BIG FIRE IN
MILLVILLE FRIDAY.
Mechanics National Bank Build
ing Threatened by Flames
Friday Morning.

About half-past ten O'Clock Friday
morning fire was discovered in the
laboratory of DR.. A. R. Slade, dem
tist, upon the second floor of the Me-
chanics National Bank building, in
Millville. The flames were first not
iced by Howard Stewart, a law stu
dent in HI. o. Newcomb's office. The
fire spread with great rapidity and
soon destroyed the entire laboratory
of DR.. Slade, and did much damage to
the rear of the bank building The
banking officials hurriedly put all of
the money and books in the fire proof
vault. The fire and water damaged
the interior considerably.
The fire department was obliged to
work hard to prevent the flames
spreading.
The fire was caused by chemicals
used in experiments by DR.. Slade.

Ahe Ad. Man Has His Attention
Called to Genuine Fact.
In my daily rounds among the good
business folks of our city, I run into
arguments of all kinds: some reallv
quaint and curious, so much so in
TACT that | cannot agree with them:
while others seem to TEEN with suob
sound logic and good common sense
that it would be very hard to dis
agree.
only last week prominent gentle
mana business man-engaged in con-
versation with me on the topic of GER
tain business enterprises here being
ahead of the city; that the town
would be better off if we were a quar-
ter of century behind in some
things. "Why," said he, 1.-The yery
newspaper you represent is far ahead
OF the city, and he went on and men
toned number of other enteprising
concerns.
did not deny the assertion that
the Pioneer" was in the lead. but
answering the gentleman's argument
as a whole, merely said that it was
just such concerns as he mentioned
that made the city what it was. and
the fact that the men behind them
were progressive enough to get ahead
OF the city and not afraid of a little
FISK was sure sign that the city must
follow closely in its progressiveness.
Tor does 1t not take public spirited
men to lead city on to greatness?
A city without such persons would
surely be quarter of a century be-
hind.
The point desire to impress on the
mini OF the general business public
by this little article, is the fact that
everyone of the concerns which nv
friend cited as being ahead of the
city, are believers in advertising and
use the Pioneer" columns, to which
would attribute their being in the
lead.

FEW OYSTERS
ARE NOW TAKEN,
Five Boats Out of Six are Now
Laid up for the Season and
Will Remain Idle.

"Oysters are about run" is the way
shipper expresses the situation.
That means that practically all of the
oysters that are in condition for use,
have been caught. And yet the season
has been poor. Oysters have not been
what they should have been. The
condition has been exceptionally poor,
and in consequence the prices have
been light. Of course good oysters
from the Maurice River Cove got the
money. They always do. There are
some there yet, but it is not saying
too much to remark that five out of
six boats have been laid up and will
not be engaged again in the, oyster
business until the planting season
comes long.
The good oysters that have been
shipped this year-the oysters that
have been fat and rich and got the
money, have been those that have
been taken from deep water and sandy
bottom. The other plants have been
failures.
While the Maurice River Coves will
still find place in the big city mar
kets, the majority of the supply will
come from the South, barrelled oys-
ters, that in the winter are always in
good condition, being fatter under ice
than in the warmer season.

INITIATORY TRIP
OF AUTOMOBILES.
A Very Successful Run Made
Friday Afternoon by Auto
'NO. II,

The initiatory trip of the South Jer-
sey Mobile Transit Company's hand
some vehicles in this city was made
Friday afternoon when a few in
vited gentlemen enjoyed pleasant
ride about the streets of the city.
At halfpast four automobile "No.
1" left it's new home and took short
trial around the square of Laurel,
Jefferson, Pearl and Commerce and
up Broad street hill and later re-
turned to the new building where it
will be sheltered during it's slime off
duty.
The machine was engineered by the
agent machinist, who was represent
ing the company. Francis Garrison
occupied the front seat together with
the agents assistant In the passen-
ger department. were the following
guests: Thomas u. Harris, President
of the Bridgeton National Bank, Ben
jamin Hancock, President of the Cum
berland Trust Company, Judge
Thomas w. Trenchard, Mayor George
Hampton, Lawyer Walter Bacon and
William 0. Garrison.
A very successful trial had been
made and the driver then steered the
automobile toward Broad street. The
hill was reached and the ascent was
made without the slightest difficulty.
In coming down the hill the machine
was under perfect and absolute control
of the chauffeur, as all along the en-
tire trip.
The new steam wagon presents a
handsome appearance, and combined
with the ease and comfort in rid
ing, will be great accommodation to
the general public.
