He was son of the late George
Mitchell, mailer at the Cumberland
iron works. At an early age Mr..
Mr. Mitchell entered the law Office
of the late Judge John 7. Nixon, and
was admitted to the bar at the No
vember term, 1861. He thereupon
entered into partnership with Judge
Nixon, continuing for several years,
when he withdrew, and has since con-
tinued his profession alone. He was
admitted as counsellor in 1866
AS a lawyer Mr.. Mitchell took a
front place, and for very many years
was sone of the leaders at the bar. He
had many important cases, and was
particularly identified with the crimi-
nal practice of the bar. For many
years he was the solicitor of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in this section,
and was also solicitor for the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Saving Fund
and Building Association.
He was one of the founders of the
Bridgeton National Bank and one of
its first directors.
During the troublesome times of the
civil war, Mr.. Mitchell's eloquence
did much to awaken and fire the pa
triotic spirit here. One OF his most
notable addresses was made at a patri-
otto mass meeting, April goth, 1861.
At this meeting the following resolu-
tions were adopted after the address
of Mr.. Mitchell:
Resolved, That secession is treason,
and that after long forbearance it has
become necessary for the government
to use force against traitors in order
to preserve our nationality
Resolved, That we pledge to the
constituted authorities of this govern
ment our aid and support throughout
the war, and pray that the same may
be brought to speedy close by the
glorious and living vindication that
the free government of our fathers
purchased by blood, is now, as hereto
ore, and ever shall be, a terror to evil
doers and the praise of them that do
we'll.
Resolved, That Governor Olden
be requested to call an extra session of
the Legislature, in order that ample
money provision may be made for
equipping and sustaining the military
of the State.
Mr.. Mitchell married Annie Hitch
ner, daughter of Mrs. ElizasH sHitchner,
and she with son, John G. Mitchell,
now a practicing lawyer, survive him.
The funeral services will occur
Wednesday afternoon from his late
residence at o 80 o'clock. The inter
ment will be at Broad street ceme-

ITALIANS GIVEN
HEARING ON FRIDAY
Mayor Hampton Hears How and
Why the Melee on Mill Street
Happened.

y Friday morning at the Mayor ssoffice
the Mill street Italian melee of last
Monday night was reviewed and in
consequence Frank Patrick was dis
charged and the man arrested with
him, Donate Spinell, was held in $50
bail for Court.
After half hour of testimony by
several Italians, interpreted by Tony
Siggiome, who was also arrested but
discharged because there was no evil
dende of his being in the fight, the
story as told by them in nut shell is
as follows: On Monday night Joe
Caligula, the defendant, called to see
Marie Spinellas wife of Donate.
Donate ordered him away. He went
away but returned later with an ak
and a knife Then mix-up ocurred,
theIperformance being continued un-
til Joe was battered up so his head
looked like jelly fish on the sand at
theIseashore. He went to City Hall,
told officers, who went there and ar
rested the men. The evidence that
Officers Woodruff and Gaun gave
about seeing Spfnell beat and kick
Calgula is what held him for Court,
as i was principally a family affair.

While model citizens were on their
way to church Sunday morning,
two detected looking citizens of This
glorious, free Republic, were seated
in the local police Court waiting for
Mayor Hampton to take action uIon

Both had been drunk, and one Iof
them, Alfred Buzby was dirty and
unkept. Somewhere, somehow, he
had lost his hat, and his hip rubber
boots were dreadfufly out of plsce
with the bright, warm sunshine PLY

a countryman from up about Elmer,
sadly looked Buzby over and re-

Jim Smith said he was drunk. He
remembered falling asleep against tie

Bank, and remembered he was taken
in charge by some officer. Whei
asked as to his state of finances, Smitl
broke down.

BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, "In
what way are Chamberlain Stomach
& Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are
more harsh in effect and their use is
often followed by constipation. For

HOME AND
FAMILY BURNED.
Ugly Fire Causes Disaster in
North Port Norris. Yesterday.

In North Port Norris, a settlement
largely of oystermen, was greatly ex-
cited Friday, the home of one of
its citizens, Charles Green, being to-
tally destroyed by fire.
The fire was caused by twelve
year old son of Mr. Green playing
about with matches. The blaze spread
rapidly and all attempts to save the
property proved fruitless.
Mr. Green was not at home at the
time, and Mrs. Green with her SON
saved much of the furniture. In
doing so, however, they were badly
burned, and their sufferings were in
tense.

BUN OVER BY
PASSENGER TRAIN.
George Worrel Jumped From
Swiftly Moving Train oSeri-
GUS Injury.

Special to Pioneer.
Giassboro, N. j., March 31y-While
jumping from a swiftly moving train
this afternoon, George Worrel, a
young Glassboro fellow, fell and was
thrown under the wheels One foot
was severed from the limb and the
boy was otherwise internally injured
Worrel is an employee of James
Hera, a building mover, residing ON
the road between Glassboro and Pit
man Grove. 1t was when the down
train passed this place that Worrel
made the leap
Worrel was told not to jump by
Conductor Wilson and other persons
tried to prevent him by force, but in
return Conductor Wilson was struck
in the face by him as the fellow left
the car. His foot slipped and he fell
between the coaches, one foot lay
across the rail which before he could
regain his feet was cut off, just above
the ankle.
The train was stopped and the in
jured boy carried to Glassboro where
he was placed under the care Of a
physician, and will probably recover
| but lost his foot.
A strange coincidence is that several
years ago the boys father was killed
in about the same place as where this
accident happened.

report says: Steady progress is report
ed in trade industry. Distribution of
merchandise is heavy and healthy
tone is evident Domestic conditions
continue much better than those ex-

more attention than foreign commerce.
Farm products have appreciated in
value owing to less favorable weather.
Earnings of railways during August
were sc per cent larger than year
ago and 1873 per cent in excess of 1900.
Better deliveries of coke and liberal
receipts of foreign material have
lessened the pressure in the iron and
steel industry while quotations in a
few lines have weakened.
New plants are being added to the
productive capacity as rapidly as pos
sible, but in railway equipment, es-
pecially steel rails, orders are already
placed for much of next year.
Wheat is coming forward freely,
