FORMER BRTDGETON
YOUNG LADY ROBBED.
Mrs. InsIee VandprhOff nee Hattie
Hicks Had Many ValuableS
Stolen From Her.

About three months ago Miss Hattie
Hicks, Bridgeton young lady, was
married to Mr.. Inslee Vanderhoff, a
merchant of East Orange. They went
to that city to live and last Saturday
night had their residence broken into
and robbed of several hundred dollars
worth of valuables. Mr.. and Mrs.
Vanderhoff left the house about seven
O. clock in the evening and visited a
relative. They returned at ten O'Clock
and found the house had been looted.
Before leaving Mr.. Vanderhoff had
securely locked all the doors and win
dows but the intruder used a skeleton
key and in two hours succeeded in
making big haul. Six rings, two
watches and chains one valued ateighty
dollars, and studded with diamonds,
silver spoons, silver dishes and in fact
every valuable piece of silver ware,
most of which were given the couple
as wedding presents, were taken.
A diamond pin was hidden in the
rug in a bed room and this was not
discovered.
Mrs. Vanderhoff was a graduate of
Bridgeton High School and, had. lived
in this city for several years. She
has many relatives here.

COUNTY MUST
BUILD A BRIDGE.
Dividing Creek Covered Bridge
Must Come Down, and a
Draw be Put In.

For sixty years the Dividing Creek
covered draw bridge has been doing
duty to the county, and the people
seemed to have gotten along with it.
Recently an agitation was started
about that section for draw bridge,
and an application was made to the
Government. The War Department
sent its engineers here, and there was
"a public meeting at Dividing Greek
and the matter thoroughly gone over.
Col. Raymond, the engineer, decided
that the creek was navigable above
the bridge, and recommended that
draw be placed there.
A part of the community was op-
posed to draw bridge and held that
so little navigation was desired above
the bridge that the expense of new
bridge was not justifable The War
Department this week decided the
matter and orders the removal of the
present obstruction, and demands a
draw bridge.
At the March meeting of the Board
ofFreeholders the matter must be taken
up, and it is quite likely that the new
bridge will be ordered. The cost of a
suitable structure is estimated to be
about $40, 900, possibly little more
1t will probably be six months be-
fore new bridge can be completed
The bridge building companies will
not make contract for delivery at
any specific time, and the bridge will
not be completed until it is convenient
| for the contractors.
In the meantime the Bridgeton and
Millville Traction Company cannot
operate its cars across the creek upon
the Port Norris extension. General
Manager Hires in talking about the
matter yesterday said that the Port
Norris extension wonld be completed
as quickly as possible, and a Cdr sent
over the creek, and operate it between
Bivalve and and Dividing Greek,
meeting car running between Bridge.
ton and Dividing Creek. This will
only necessiate the passengers walking
across temporary bridge until after
| the new structure is erected.
The company will then make an ar.
rangement with the Board of Free.
| holders for right of way over and
upon the new bridge.

DEMAND FOR TEACHERS
EXCEEDS STATE SUPPLY.
Present Normal School Facilities
Might be Doubled.

That the establishment of an addi-
tional State Normal School would not
create any danger of overstocking the
educational market with school teach
ers made in New jersey is shown by
the fact that of the seven thousand
and odd teachers now employed in the
public schools of the State only q 204
are normal school graduates, and of
trained for their calling within the
State at the Trenton Normal School
Under the present school laws, none
but Normal graduates are eligible for
employment in the public schools, and
as the rule is likely 60 be adhered to
in any law framed u succeed the
Stokes act, the demand for teachers
will have to be met in the future, as
in the past, by the importation of
graduates from schools outside of the
State, unless the facilities for home
training of teachers are increased.
q The relative value of the Trenton
school to the several counties is shown
by the number of students from each
section, as follows: Atlantic, 1S; Ber-
gen, 26; Burlington, 81; Camden, %
Cape May, 8; Cumberland, "a Essex,
2; Gloucester, 1S; Hudson, 54; Hunt
erdon, Sc; Morris, 81; Ocean, 8; Pas
sale, 6; Salem, 16; Somerset, II; Sus-
sex, 81; Union, 33; Warren, IA.
In the annual report of Principal
James M Green of the State Normal
School, it is urged upon the State
Board of Education that provision
should be made for keeping the school
open the year around and establishing
a summer course of instruction for
the benefit of teachers who desire to
study during their vacations. This
would allow many teachers who are
not normal graduates and who have
been teaching for years, to complete
/ the normal course, and attain modern
methods that would put them on q
footing with recent graduates without
giving up their positions or interfer.
ing with their school work.

THE GHOST AT ELMER
HAS BEEN CAPTURED.
The White Figure Which Has
Been PrOwling Around Proves
to be a Boy.

For week, Elmer residents have
been concerned considerably over a
mysterious ''headless woman, spook"
who they claim, has been walking
about the streets and frightening the
people.
James Booty Sr., was the first man
who saw it and later it followed
William Scott about and whenever he
appeared in the dark it seemed that
the speoter was by his side, until the
young man was really frightened. A
party of residents decided that they
would chase Mr. Ghost to earth.
They concealed themselves behind
the Novelty Glassworks fence and
when the fignre in white appeared
they took after it.
After chase it was captured and
found to be carrying in" boy at the
factory, who said he used the sheet to
scare the other boys and create sem
sation.

IMPROVED POSTAL
SERVICE NEEDED.
Accommodations Could be Vastly
improved by Adding a Mail
Car on Early Train.

The railway postal service as now
being performed on the W. J. & s.
r. R. between Bridgeton and Phila-
delphia is sorely inadequate and the
department should take some measure
to have it improved. There is great
need of an earlier local mail from
Phila., whereby all points on the line
and especially Offices south of Bridge
ton would receive their daily paIers
earlier in the morning, as it is now
points south of Bridgeton do not re-
ceive their first mail till nearly noon
sometimes till afternoon, there is a
train leaving Camden 6.24 a. M.
which if it had postal ear attached
would greatly benefit and enhance the
service as the mail would be made up
on the train and delivered to the troll
ley line leaving Bridgeton depot at s
a. M, arriving at Port Norris 8 80 a.
M. and other points correspondingly
earlier. This car being returned on
s o'clock train from Bridgeton, could
pick up this mail from these offices at
Bridgeton depot and have it returned
by train arriving again at 9.45, there
by insuring an early morning mail to
and from all points south, in addition
to local service as now being performed
both ways at noon and p. m.
There should also be car on the
train leaving Bridgeton at p. M, to
again pick up all the mail both north
and south of Bridgeton in order to in
sure its delivery same day or early
next morning. AS it is now letters
mailed below Bridgeton after a. m.
do not reach destination until "a hours
later, when if there was local service
performed on this later train this
trouble would be greatly obviated.
There is growing necessity for this
additional service.
