BRIDGETON BOYS
NOT GUILTY

Charged with burglary, Elmer Van
naman and Jesse Craner, two Bridge
ton boys, were arrested and taken to
Woodbury. last Tuesday by Wood
bury officer.
The boys were held until Thursday
afternoon when they were given
trial before Judge Jessup. He imme-
diately discharged the defendants, the
boys setting up an alibi. They re-
turned home last night.
The story of the arrest is like this j:
Vannaman and Craner are glasswork-
ers. They went to Woodbury. to
work early in June and boarded with
Mrs Rebecca Schmelia. Now this
madam is said to indulge in booze,
and had several bottles of beer in the
cellar. Some one, sometime, stole
fifteen of these bottles. 1t was about
the time the Bridgeton boys left her
residence, the last of June and Mrs.
Schmelia accused the boys, although
she had no stronger evidence than sus-
picion.
Warrants sworn out brought the
boys to Gloucester county's principal
city. There was no hearing, but
Judge Jessup called the trial for
Thursday afternoon in the Court
House
The States last witness, Edward
Doughty, was called and it was his
testimony that cleared the defendants.
Doughty said he had been firing at
the ice plant in Woodbury. and knew
the boys, Vannaman and Craner. In
company with several others, on June
both, Vannamau, Craner and Doughty
went to Philadelphia and remained
there until late train, near mid
night. 1t was between six and eight
O'Clock ON that evening the beer was
stolen. At the conclusion of this tes-
timony the Judge discharged the
Bridgeton boys, saying there was not
the least doubt as to their being inno-
cent
The boys were not represented by a
lawyer nor was it necessary for them
to produce witnesses. They were
much concerned over the arrest yet
were positive they could prove their
innocence.

GLASSBLOWERS
AID THE MINERS.

Atlantic City, N. j., July 10.-The
adoption of strong resolutions de-
nouncing generally the prevalence of
child labor in all parts of the United
States, and especially at Minotola, N.
j., where the glassworkers are on
strike, was one of two important feat
ures OF to-day's session of the Glass
Bottle Blowers National Association.
The other feature was the appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the benefit of the
striking anthracite coal mine workers
of Pennsylvania.
The resolutions on the question of
child labor were presented by E. A.
Agard, of Fairbury, ILL.,, and after
generally stating the results of inves-
LEGATIONS proving the allegations
made, referred specifically the glass
factory of the George Jonas Company
at Minotola, stating that the condi-
tions there are worse than IN any part
OF the country. The resolutions also
referred to a place in Alabama where
children whose ages range from 8 to
II years are compelled to work from
ten to fourteen hours day and that
other children are employed in the
same place whose duty is to move
about the place dashing cold water
into the faces of the others. The
resolutions request that the public do
all it can to put stop to this condi-
tion of affairs.
The resolution appropriating $4,000
to President, Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers was preceded by an ad-
dress by President Hayes, in which
he said that the present strike is not
one of miners alone, but a fight of or
ganized labor everywhere against most
evil conditions. The only other bust
ness that occupied the attention of
the convention was the reports of
committees, none of which was i'm
portant.

FELL FROM THIRD
STORY WINDOW

Grace Dawson, the three-year- old
daughter of Howard Dawson, a
butcher, of North Pearl street, fell
from third story window Thursday
and escaped without broken bone,
yet she is very severely injured The
child was playing at the open window
on the side of the house when she
lost her balance and fell to the
ground. The accident happened about
five O'Clock and Mr.. and Mrs. Daw-
son were at home. They were in the
dining room and saw the child as the
body shot by the window when fall
ing. They heard the body strike the
ground and expected to find her dead.
Rushing out of doors Mr.. Dawson
picked the little tot up. She was un-
conscious. He carried her to the
office of DR.. s. M.lWilson, where the
life seemed to be brought slowly back
to her. An examination found no
bones broken but the body terribly
bruised.
Since the fall the child has been
seriously ill and has not spoken. It is
thought he will recover unless the
internal injuries are more severe than
are now known.

SPECIAL SESSION
ORPHANS COURT.

A special session of the Orphans
Court OF this county, was held Monday
morning before Judge Trenchard in
the matter of FL. V. Camm, trustee
in the estate of David Jaggers, de-
ceased.
Lawyer Sheppard appeared before
the Court and presented physicians
affidavit to the effect that Mr.. Camm's
health was such that it was utterly
impossible for him to appear in court
at this time, as he was suffering from
acute Bright's disease and nervous
prostration and asked for further
postponement. Mr.. Sheppard further
stated that he had endeavored to Sc
cure the accounts in the matter from
Mr.. Camm, but had not been able to
do SO owing to the very critical ply
sical condition of Mr.. Camm.
Mr.. Logue, attorney for the heirs
stated that he did not feel like con-
senting to any further postponement;
he thought the papers should be se-
cured at once in order that Mr. Camm's
surety might know something as to
what to expect.
Mr.. Bacon, representing the Fidel-
ity Surety Company, of Maryland,
was also present and said that the
amount of surety was $14, 600 and that
he had been advised by the company
to look after their interests according
to his best judgement, and he felt
that something should be done at once
and objected to a further postpone
ment.
In view of the physicians affidavit
the Court felt obliged to carry the
matter over, and Monday August 4th,
was fixed as the time when there
must be an account of some kind
presented.
Mr.. Camm was appointed trustee of
the estate, December 9Th, 1897 having
had placed in his hands at that time
the sum of Sc, 1853 81. Nothing has
been done since that time and all par
ties in interest are becoming very
much interested

FIRE WAS CAUSED
BY GASOLINE STOVE.

At the home of Mrs. Charles, on
North Pearl street Sunday night, gas
oline stove caused lots of excitement
although there was very little dam
age done. Mrs. Charles in filling the
tank spilled some gasoline on the out
side and as she touched a lighted
match to the burner, the combustible
material caught fire and big blaze
resulted. AS the house is nearest the
alarm box at Pearl and Penn street,
the alarm was turned in there. The
firemen were soon on hand but their
services were not needed, the fire hav-
ing been extinguished with buckets
and carpets.

FACTORY MAY BE
STARTED UP.


Negotiations are said to be pending
between the owners of the Bridgeton
giassworks and New York parties for
the leasing Of the plant with view
OF starting up the factory in septem-
ber.
There is excellent authority for this
suggestion, and the probabilities are
That the entire plant will be in active
operation among the first of the con-
oerns to start up.
The Bridgeton glassworks is a model
concern, and one of the best to work
In anywhere in the East. Should it
De In operation many persons will be
given employment and there will be
large sums of money paid out in
wages.

Sad Tragedy This.


Residents of Dividing Greek are in
deep mourning over the terrible news
of the death of Mr.. and Mrs. A B.
Lamb, their, adopted son, Leolin, and
Mrs. Lambs father, Charles M.
Howell, off Hampstead, L. l.
Neighbors of the family say that
Mrs. Lamb had a presentment of the
awful tragedy.
The party started for Hampstead last
Thursday, July 2nd, but after going
only few miles down the creek the
engine of the naptha launch as we'll
as the mast broke dewn and the party
was compelled to walk home the en-
tire distance on shore, and pull the
boat. By Monday the engine was re-
paired and the trip was again re-
sumed. Mrs. Lamb didn't want to go
saying she was afraid of the journey.
She said to Mrs. Campbell, neigh
Dor, Goodbye, if never see you
again.
The body of Mrs. Lamb has been
found and will probably be taken to
Millville, her former home.
Mr. A. B. Lamb was ship carpen-
ter and it was he who agitated the
building of the new ten thousand dol
Lar draw bridge at Dividing Greek.
He intended building ship yard and
the draw was necessary for his boats
to pass the bridge. Mr.. Lamb petit
toned the Government first.

SUNDAY SELLING
NOT AGAINST LAW.

Newark, N. j., July 9.-In the
Fourth Precinct Police Court to-day
Judge Lambert announced that he
would take no more complaints
against merchants who sell goods on
Sunday. He said he intends to dis
miss all the charges now pending and
to reimburse the men who had been
arrested and fined recently under the
provisions of the old vice and immor-
ality act of 1854. This announcement,
which is much in the nature of de-
cision, but subject to revision, is al
most death blow to the movement
OF the Retail Clerks Association,
whose members have made dozen or
more complaints. The Judges decis-
ion was based upon Section u of the
very act under which the complaints
were taken. And strangely enough,
his attention was called to this Sec
tion by counsel for the clerks, Chaun-
cey H. Beasley. The section is as fol-
lows:
"That nothing in this contained
shall be taken or construed so as to
affect any licensed tavern Keeper in
his or her ordinary and lawful bust
ness, at his or her usual place or
residence, specified in his or her Ii
cense. Nor shall it be taken or con-
strued as to affect any merchant, shop
keeper, farmer, mechanic or other
person in the usual and lawful trans
action of his or their ordinary con-
Germs or business, in their usual places
of doing such business; neither shall
it be SO taken or construed as to affect
any person or persons attending any
such (religious) meeting, who have
permit in writing from the person
or persons having the oversight,
charge and management of any such
meeting, to sell bread or other neces-
sary articles of food for man and
beast, provided that the conduct of
persons attending such meetings shall
accord with the lawful rules and reg
ulations of such meeting and the prop
erty Of such persons attending such
religious meetings be not of the de-
soription forbidden by this act .
Judge Lambert said to-day: II am
now of the opinion that there is no
law to prevent the sale of merchan-
disc by merchants and shop keepers at
their usual places of business on Sun
day. A number of complaints have
been made in this district against
shop keepers and merchants for sell
ing on Sundays, notably butchers,
against whom the Benchmen' s Asso-
citation has been very active of late
for selling meat on the first day of
the week. If my present understand
ing of the statute is maintained. I
shall dismiss all complaints now
pending and refuse to entertain
more -

Mayor William H. +. Fielder, who
was accused of selling a collar in his
gentlemen's furnishing store week

work, and will be equipped with a steam
hoist and pumps. The company has over
400 acres in it's group, which was pur-
chased last fall of l.. M. Kerney, George

several strong Lodges of free milling and
concentrating ore have been exposed.
Twenty men have commenced work on

one Of the richest little properties in
central Black Hills, and the original own
er supplied a thirty-ton Huntington quartz
mill with ore taken out in the process of
sinking shaft nine feet square. The
mill was operated only a few weeks each
summer, netting from $4,000 to $4,000
year. The purchasers are altering the
dimensions of the shaft, and intend to
sink to the 5O0-foot level and cross
cut.
A test run is being made at the High
land Chief mill in Spruce gulch, on ore
from the ground of Henry Tortette. If
the run is satisfactory Mr.. Tortette will
put on force of miners. The ore as
