POWERFUL SEARCH
LIGHT ON THE "CYPHER

The steam yacht "Cypher'' which is
owned by the State Oyster Commits
sion is now fully equipped with a
powerful search light.
Mr.. Fred B. Cutter, of the General
Electric Company, placed the lamp,
and it is an exact counterpart of those
used upon the United States battle
ships and cruisers. 1t will throw a
powerful light, Illuminating a target
distinctly more than two and a half
miles away. When this light is
thrown upon boat, the 'Cypher" will
have the pilot of the boat at his mercy.
So powerful will be the light upon the
vessel that it would prove dazzling and
so dark away from the light will it be
that captain could not steer.
The lamp upon the "Cypher" is
eighteen inches in diameter and burns
from thirth to forty amperes. The
lamp is provided with a marginal mir
ror. The front of the lamp has verti-
cal markings which serves to keep the
rays in a parallel direction. The lamp
stands three feet above the pilot house
and can be handled by the pilot, and
the light thrown in any direction. A
demonstration of the light was to have
been made here, but the engine oper-
ating the dynamo got out of repair.
Mr.. Cutter came here from Sandy
Hook, where he has been placing for
the government the largest search
light in the world-a lamp that will
illuminate target thirty miles atsea.

WORKMAN CAUGHT
In A FIERY TRAP.

Pennsgrove, N. j., Dec. 8.-For a
few brief, but agonizing minutes this
morning Wilmer Davis faced a hor-
rlble death at the Carney's Point
Powder Works. Davis is employed as
fireman at the works, and while at
work discovered that finger bolt on
the rear of the firebox of the boilers
had broken off. He at once banked
the fire in the affected boiler and
slipped the belt from the automatic
feeder. When the box had cooled
sufficiently he crawled in tc make the
needed repair.
Davis had been at work but a short
time when George Dalbow, another
fireman, came in and, noticing that
the feeder belt had been slipped off.
he very carefully readjusted it, all
unmindful of the terrible predicament
OF Davis. AS the machinery began to
distribute the coal over the fire-box it
caught Davis in a fiery trap, and all
he could do was scream for help His
cries were drowned by the noise of
the machinery and he was being
slowly roasted to death in his narrow
trap.
Chief Fireman Thomas Harvey
came in at that moment and, knowing
that Davis was at work in the fire
box, and seeing that the feeder was
at work, at once guessed the awful
truth He at once released the belt
again and sprang to the rescue of the
imperiled man. Pulling the fire to
the front of the box he saw Davis ly-
ing helpless and almost dead, but still
conscious. Calling Dalbow to help
him, Harvey managed to get Davis
out.
1t seemed little short of miraculous
that the worst burns Davis ceived
were to his hands, which were roasted
almost to crisp, but the doctors
think they can save them. His
trousers and shirt were on fire when
he was released, and two minutes
more would have sealed his fate.

leased of Senator B. Ell. Minch the
second floor rooms over the large
store to be occupied by W. w. Rob
bins, on South Laurel street. This
will give the Elks the second

block and will make for them the
handsomest quarters in the entire
state. Carpenters, plumbers, painters
and paper hangers have been put to
work making improvements. The
rooms will be remodelled, and
thrown into the present spacious quar-
ters. When the Improvements are
complete and the rooms furnished,
there will probably be a dedicatory
re-opening of the rooms.

HUNT BROTHERS.
HARD WINTER
is PREDICTED.

Captain William Chadwick, New
jerseys greatest weather prophet,
who is living retired life at his
little home in Toms River. has come
out of his obscurity with the state
ment that the residents of this state
can look for long and wet winter.
Plenty of snow aud ice is the sub
stance of Captain "Bill's" prophecy
and those who have followed his pre-
dictions for the past ten years have
found him pretty nearly correct.
Captain Bill" as he is familiarly
called, is well known to gunners and
fishermen who are frequenters of
Barnegat bay. He is the Oldest CAP
tain in the life-saving service and was
one of the first to enter upon the dar-
ing duties of the coast patrol after
the late Governor Newell had the bill
passed by Congress creating such a
department
Look out for wrecks and high
winds along the coast is Captain
bills" warning. Lay in plenty of
wood and coal. - is his advice to land
lubbers, for in his opinion there will
be more than one occasion when the
snow will be banked high on the eel
lar door. nasa-
If the past few days can be taken
as a criterion of the kind of weather
that is to follow. Captain "Bill's"
prediction "Look out for wrecks is
nearly correct. South Jersey got the
tail end of Fridays snow storm yes
terday afternoon and for five minutes
tie heavy white flakes gave every
evidence that there would be sleigh
ing before nightfall But the snow
squall disappeared almost as soon it
came and the air grew crisp and
frosty, freezing everything in sight.
Yesterday was the coldest day thus
far this winter. When the day broke
the thermometer registered % de-
grees and until late in the afternoon
it hung about the thirty mark until
nightfall when it began to drop.
Reports from the weather bureau at
Washington predict cold wave for
the middle and New England states,
which will last several days.
Men walked about town with coat
collars turned up about their ears and
last winters furs were taken from
closets lined with camphor and tar
balls and brought into service. There
was no skating, but from present pre-
dictions the red ball will be hoisted
upon the brooks and ponds if the cold
snap lasts another day.

FITHIAN & PENNELL'S
STORE WAS ROBBED

Burglars, the mean, petty kind,
visited the store of Fithian & Pennell
over on Broad street last night, and
cleaned out the stock of cigars and
tobacco.
An entrance was effected by tearing
off the hinges of door. Little was
disturbed but the tobacco The cigar
case was entirely cleaned out, and all
of the smoking and chewing tobacco
was taken. If there were not too
many fellows in the game, they have
sufficient tobacco to last them for a
full year.
An effort was made to get on track
of the thieves. A search warrant was
issued and an officer looked for some
goods but was unable to find them.
The search will be continued, and
every effort made to punish the fell
lows.

FIGHT FOR THE
SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.

Trenton, Dec. S.-Aside from the
triangular fight for the presidency,
the only contest for Senate office
that is attracting any attention is over
the sergeant at arms of that body.
John 7. Garwood, of Salem, held the
job last year and the year before,
when Rirchard T. Miller was the
Salem Senator. The election of a
Democratic Senator from his county
this year puts Garwood out of
running for another term, and by
some mental process a number of Sem
ators and others have arrived at the
conclusion that the job should go to
Monmouth county
I. Even before it was agreed or consid-
cred as to where the appointment be-
longed, Frank Tantum was candi-
date for the place. Tantum has been
sergeant arms in the House for
three years. When he is at home in
Ocean Grove, Tantum is member of
the police force. and those who know
him say he is as good a policeman as
he has been sergeantat-arms
Against Tantum for the place is
pitted William Hyres, who was an
Assemblyman from Monmouth for two
terms. Hyres didn't become a candi-
date until he heard that the Mon
mouth Senator might have the filling
of the place, and as he had just lost
his job as deputy sheriff, which he
had held for six years, through the
election of Democratic sheriff in the
county, he started out to make the
sergeantcy. His reception at Trenton,
when he came to the State house with
his boom last Tuesday, was so cold,
and the sentiment for Tantum so
strong, that he didn't stay long, but
since then Hyres has spruced up a
little, and is expected to put in ap-
pearance with his candidacy again to-
morrow.
Hyres lives at Freehold. He is a
member of the bar, but has found po-
litical jobs so easy he has never
worked at the business to any extent.
Before he was deputy sheriff he had
job as clerk in the sheriff's office
for several years. Members of the
bar, both in and out of the Senate,
are opposed to Hyres's candidacy, be-
cause they don't like the idea of the
dignity of the bar being offended by
one of it's members doing errands for
State Senators.
An effort is being made in Hyres' Is
behalf to give the impression that the
Republican organization in Monmouth
is behind his candidacy, and it is as
serted that the organization has or
dered Senator Brown to put Hyres on
his list for backing, although the i'm.
preston has been that the new mem.
Der from Spring Lake favored Tantum
for the position.

TALK OF THE
REPUBLICAN LEADERS.
Exclusive Correspondent to the Pioneer

Lear F1On66r There is inst
now some negotiation concerning the
Republican leadership in the State of
New Jersey, and it is manifesting it.
self in the contest for the organiza-
tion OF the Legislature, by tug of
war between Senators Dryden and
Kean. 1t is to be hoped that this
struggle for tn Q premiership will not
eventuate in factional division, for
that might prove to be very detri-
mental to the party.
There is always a man for the
times. Great crises always produce
great leaders. At the time of the
Civil War, when the Republic had
been shaken by disaster after disaster,
and the discovery of incompetency in
General after General, who were all
right to handle division but could
not direct the movements OF large
army, there came the man for the
crisis and Donelson and Vicksburg
brought the little tanner of illinois to
the front, and at last a glorious tri-
umvirate in Grant, with Sherman
and Sheridan as his lieutenants.
1t requires peculiar talent and tact
to successfully handle the affairs of a
party in the State. One leader may
successfully control his county or dis
trict, but will make sad mess of at
tempting to control political move
ments in the entire State Great
leaders, firmly believe, are born not
made. Men like the late Gen. VIM.
j. Sewell are not to be found every
day. He had qualities rare and re-
markable His comprehensive grasp
of public affairs, his clear foresight,
his readiness to seize and adapt means
to ends, then his ability to quickly
read and comprehend men, and how
and when to approach them, gave him
a prestige and power perhaps never
before attained by any leader in the
State.
To replace such man is work of
no little difficulty. and yet there are
hosts OF men in the party in South
Jersey and throughout the State who
firmly believe that right here in the
good old county of Cumberland we
have the man upon whom the mantle
of the lamented Sewell may fittingly
rest. His name is Edward Caspar
Stokes, who from the very moment of
his introduction into political life has
demonstrated that he is born leader
of men. In his county, in his district
he has won notable victories for the
party, but in the recent State cam
paign, his leadership of the party won
victory in an off year that was SIM
ply wonderful. He is picked as a
leader because he combines the same
qualities that made Gen. Sewel sue
cessful, viz. /:
l. He is cool, cautious and conser-
vative
2. He has comprehensive grasp of
public affairs.
3. He is good judge of men and
. the best way to approach them
4. He believes in so managing
affairs as to leave no first cause for
factional strife.
5. He is able, fearless and always
prompt in action.
6. He wins men by his personality
and his contagious enthusiasm.
Others may be talked of, and some
may struggle to reach the front, but
/ it is my firm conviction that out of
this struggle will emerge Edward
Caspar Stokes as the fully recognized
great leader of the Republican party
OF the State of New Jersey.
