ORDINANCE PASSES
TWO READINGS

The proposition to slightly change
the route of the proposed trolley ex-
tension over in the Third ward was
considered by City Council Friday
night and by a unanimous. vote the or
dinance as previously presented was
passed upon two readings.
The proposition in the ordinance is
to carry the road down Fayette street
from Cottage avenue to Belmont

filed. Proof was also shown that the

BRIGHT, PRETTY
"PRINCESS BONNIE,

The bright, pretty, tuneful opera,
Princess Bonnie'' will be elabor-
ately presented in this city next month
by clever, local talent. Every ar
rangement for its success is being
made, and already the principal char
acters and the members of the chorus
are very well drilled.
Owing to the fact that Miss Martha
Bowen will retire from the cast. there
must be one person substituted, but
this will be accomplished without any
changes being made in the other char.
acters,
Mr.. Rumbf, the Millville tenor.
will direct the performance as stage
manager, and it may be said that he
knows the opera from every stand
point, and will bring it out with
elaborate, pleasing, satisfactory effect.
The rehearsals have been held in the
studio of Mr.. T. R. Janvier, and after
the goth inst, that gentleman will
personally conduct the chorus re-
hearsals. There will follow stage re-
hearsals in the Criterion theatre, and
there will be several dress rehearsals.
The cast is made up as follows:
Princess Bonnie, Miss Ada Scull.
''Etta Crab Mrs. John E. Minch.
Donna Pomposo, Miss Lolita
Shoemaker
"Shrimps," Howard Robbins.
"Capt. Tarpaullin, Lewis Elmer.
"Roy Sterling" Edward Rumbf.
Admiral Pomposo, Elwood
Weber.
Salvador body guard, Frank
Hustled.
Count Falsetti,' Lewden Robe
son.
Lieutenant Fusee,' Frank Logue.
"Capt. Surf Frank Seeley.
All of these dozen characters have
made splendid progress in the work,
and will make splendid success of
the parts to which they have been as
signed. They will have the original
costumes and the scenery will be in
keeping with the plot.
The chorus will comprise fifty
voices and will be one of the features
of the entertainment. The musical
Union orchestra will furnish the
music.
The entertainment will be presented
on the 9th and 7th of May instead of
during Easter week as originally
planned.

BARN BURNED
TO THE GROUND.

The Samuel Fox farm at Carll's
Corner was the scene of a confagra-
tion Sunday, much damage being
DONE
Upon the farm lives Rridgman Fox.
He, with his family, attended church
yesterday and returning had dinner.
Shortly afterward one of the boys
went out on the porch and noticed
some fire in the rear of the barn. He
also noticed two boys running across
the lots.
The lad gave an alarm and Mr.. Fox
ran out to the barn and managed to
save the live stock, but the building
and other contents, including seven
tons of hay were destroyed. There
was large lot of fodder about the
barn and this was also burned
The boys evidently carried some of
the fire in nearby woods and shortly
afterward the timber was in a blaze,
over sixty acres of it burned over.

NEW JERSEYS SCHOOL
LAW CONSTITUTIONAL,

Trenton, N. j., March 30.-The Su-
preme Court to-day, in an opinion
filed by Justice Dixon, sustains the
constitutionality of the general school
law of the State, which was passed
by the Legislature last winter, and
which is known as the Mckee Act.
The decision was in Hoboken case,
bringing up for review a proposed
bond issue for the erection of a new
school house. The law was attacked
on the ground of its constitutionality
The Court holds that the classification
for which the Act provides is consti-
tutional.
The decision is important outside of
Hoboken because Trenton and other
cities have been unable to dispose of
school bonds pending the determina-
tion of the Hoboken case.

HUNT BROTHERS.
WINDOW MACHINE
FOR BRIDGETON;

The manufacture of window glass
by machinerysis assured, and the new
phase of the situation appeals strongly
to the independent manufacturers and
the blowers. Those who have studied
the situation closely declare that
within two years window glass will
all be made by machinery
When the American Glass Company
purchased the big window glass tank
of the Cohansey Glass Company, it
was thought that the plant would
never be again used for the manufao-
ture of window glass. It was ex-
planned that from a mechanical point
of view the tank was constructed so
that it was difficult to operate it and
further that the expense was very
great.
But now that the American Window
Glass Company will operate by ma
chinery, it is said upon excellent au-
thority tnat the abandoned plant will
once more take on life. 1t is pro-
posed, according to exceptionally good
information, that the American finds
the Cohansey tank especially adapted
for the manufacture of glass by ma
ohinery, and that it will be one of
the first places where machine is in
stalled.
While there will be no places with
the machines for skilled blowers, yet
there will be employment for many
people. The great tanks of glass must
be melted, and considerable labor re-
quired about the place for general
purposes. The glass will have to be
properly tempered and glass cutters
will have to be employed. It will
mean considerable to the industrial
Importance of the town especially
when compared with the fact that the
plant is now and has been for some
time absolutely dead.

Very soon President of the Park

Inspiration Point, which he has re-
GENTLY leased. The plans are now be-
ing drawn by an architect. The cot

Discharged Because of Hines

Discharged Because of Illness.
David Smith, Bridgeton boy who
has been in the United States Navy
for several months, has returned
home. He has been discharged be-
cause of illness. Smith has been on
the U. S. S. Topeka and recently
spent several weeks at the West India
Islands. Owing to a fever being
prevalent in those islands the ship did
not remain long as several sailors
were taken ill, Smith being among
them. He was brought to Boston and
there mustered out.

ANOTHER ROBBERY
TRACED DOWN.

On about the 10th of January last
the old depot of the w. J. & 8. R. r.
Co.. was entered and robbed, the
thieves getting away with about
$l25. 90 worth of brass brake handles
and other parts off the cars.
Railroad Detective Curtis was de-
tailed on the case at once by the rail
road company and has been devoting
considerable time here in the en-
deavor to hunt down the parties who
committed the crime.
About two weeks ago, Constable
Edward Reeves began working on the
case without saying word to anyone.
He had an idea that young Earl Green
and Curtis Shimp had done the job,
together with the numerous other
robberies for which they are now in
Jail. and he accordingly began work
on this line. A thorough search was
commenced at the home of young
Green on Church street, and after
every nook and corner had been
delved into the constable finally dis
covered bag of plunder buried in the
ground under the porch, consisting of
the very articles stolen from the cars
of the railroad company
Detective Curtis was in town again
Monday and heard the story of Con-
stable Reeves. He too, had gathered
some evidence, having located some
of the brass taken from the cars, at
the junk shop of Frank Riley.
These articles had been sold to Mr..
Riley by Frank and William Sheets,
and warrants were sworn out for their
arrest. sWhen the boys were seen
they told how that they had found
the brass on the banks of the frog
pond at Harris grove. This led to a
further search and Constable Reeves,
assisted by Constable Woodruff, began
dragging the pond, and succeeded in
finding number of other articles.
Warrants have been served on young
Green and Shimp and they were
given hearing Wednesday morning.
The Sheets boys were not arrested, as
| the authorities have every reason tc
believe their story that they found
the brass jest where they said they
had. There is no doubt at all but
that Earl Green and Curtis ShimI
committed this robbery at the old
depot.

BOYS STRIKE STOPS PLANT.
Glass Works Crippled by the I'm
ruly "Snappers.o

ruly "Snappers."
& Clayton, N. j., March 2s.-Owing
to the strike of swapping boys,
Moore Brothers Glass Company's
plant was unable to start this morn
ing. On every street leading to the
factory, and at the gates the boys had
pickets stationed armed with clubs
and instructed to keep the "scabs''
out. Five boys from Glassboro were
smuggled into the factory, but they
worked only until 10 O. clock.
When the committee representing
the "snappers" presented their griev-
ances to DR.. Ned Moore, president of
the company. he told them that he
would let them play ball awhile.
The carrying-in boys, who have
been making 80 cents per day, have
decided not to go back to workssuntil
they get 10 per cent. raise. At a
secret meeting this morning they de-
cided to stand by the "snappers" in
the fight. DR.. Moore says the entire
plant will be shut down before they
will meet the boys demands. "We
are doing nothing but wait for them
to come back to work, - he says.
The parents of the boys are in SYM
pathy with the strike, and many de-
clare that they will secure work else
where before they will let their boys
go back to work for the old wages.

ing.
Judge Trenchard held session of
the County Court on Monday. The
business had to be rushed through
owing to the Geld ess of the room. it
being almost unbearable.
The Judge announced that the mat
ter OF letters of administration in the
case of Eva Russell, deceased also the
appeal taken in the case, would be
continued until Monday next. The
Court then took up insanity matters.
In the case of the alleged insanity

A BUNCH OF
SUNDAY DRUNKS.

Bridgeton's police force locked up
i've persons under the influence of
liquor Saturday night, and all of
them were looked after later by the
Mayor.
Edward Tilton onesof the unfortu-
mates, was able to escape a whole
night sof imprisonment, being dis
charged about ten O'Clock Saturday
night upon the payment of his fine.
There was just quartette at the
Sunday services Sunday morning.
1t was rocky bunch, taking them
all in all, as they wobbled in from the
cooler.
The Mayor was at his place at the
desk in the police Court, and there
was quite school of spectators pres
ent.
Thomas Ward, the notorious tramp
Lawyer" was among the crowd.
Thomas was looking properly penitent
and if the Mayor would have per-
mitted, Ward would have made an i'm
passioned appeal to be saved from the
disgrace of being locked up. But he
did not get an opportunity of saying
anything but guilty
Thirty days" dropped from the
lips of the Mayor without any hesi-
fancy.
But Ward found an opportunity a
little later to whisper some mysteri-
GUS word to the Mayor and the mystic
word changed the result. Wards SEN
tence was reduced to twenty days.
These lawyers will stand together.
It seemed that after Ward had been
sentenced to thirty days, he discov-
cred that he was obliged to attend a
I" bar meeting at Hoboken on Mon
day, April goth, and the thirty day
sentence would have disappointed the
man behind the Hoboken "bar. -
William Vogeding, a pretty tough
looking specimen, said he was ''sure"
guilty. He was also sure that he was
broke and he went over for four days.
Vogeding was arrested last Sunday
noon SO drunk that he didn't know
his coat tails from the collar on his
vest, aud wentsto Jail on Monday He
got out on Friday ..and is now back
againgeating off tin plate.
William Riley had an air of conf
dence as. he appeared. He pleaded
guilty to being drunk, and the Mayor
footed up the fine and costs to 81. 25.
"There's four dollars said Riley.
"A quarter I owe you
The Mayor pushed the short ''pot !"
from the table and said four days.
Riley looked disappointed.as he gath
cred up his "bluff" money and looked
around among the spectators for a
friend with loose quarter. He
looked some time andssthesquarter was
Forthcoming, and liberty was Riley's.
1t was close shave.
William higgins was unhappy. He
was near ready to weep. He didn't
really intend to get drunk enough to
be arrested and did not draw enough
money from the bank Saturday to in
clude the $4 % police costs. The
banks not being open Sunday higgins
was in somewhat serious predioa-
ment. There seemed no way out of
the embarrassing situation and Rig
gins went over the river.

Saloon Was Crowded.

The Meyers syndicate Saloon on
Washington street is alone dlsposing
liquor under authority of license in
Bridgeton, and he is doing wonder
ful business. Saturday afternoon and
night the place was picture for the
curious. The rooms were simply
packed with humanity and it was
worth suit of clothing for fellow
in the rear of the crowd to butt
through and reach the bar. There
was much confusion but no especial
disorder, although there was consider
able drunkenness about the place.
Men who had passed through the
crowds and managed to get drink
came out and declared they did not
want to pass the same experience. It
was something awful.

PROPERTY
CHANGES HANDS,

There was quite crowd of people
about the Hotel Cumberland Saturday
afternoon, and everybody was stand
ing close to the real estate bargain
counter presided over by Sheriff
Charles G. Diament.
Three sales of real estate were
made. All were properties foreclosed
by the Receiver for the Merchants
and Mechanics Saving Fund and
Building Association. Mr.. Walter H.
Bacon, counsel for the Receiver, had
the days work in charge, and the
result of the sales was very salts
factory.
Property of Saern Anderson was
first offered by Auctioneer Matlack.
There were ten shares of the twenty
fifth series of stock to be sold first and
this was bid in by the Receiver for
$32 per share.
A lot of New street, unimproved,
was sold to Benjamin Erickson for
$50 The second lot, at the corner of
Vine street and West avenue, was
bought by Edwin R. Laning for 800.
There was some lively bidding for
half double house on Vine street,
and it was finally knocked off to Free
holder Erickson for 5000.
The property of Geo. B. M. Schiller
was next sold. There were six shares
of stock in the 24th series, and the
Receiver bid them in for $36 share.
The half of the double house on
Cedar street was then sold. 1t started
at five hundred dollars, and the bid
ding was pretty lively for awhile,
several prospective purchasers indulg-
ing in it. The residence was finally
knocked off to f. W. @. Meyers for
nine hundred and twenty dollars.
Property of Allen N. Harris was the
third bargain. There were six shares
of stock sold for $5 per share to the
Receiver of the Association.

ton.
Senator Minch's bill to protect
honest oystermen was successful in
the Senate yesterday and it will prob
ably pass the House without diff
Guilty.
This is the bill over which Senator
Minch and Senator Hand, of Cape
May, locked horns last week, and
Senator Minch through courtesy al
lowed the bill to go over temporarily.
Whent he bill came up yesterday upon
third reading and final passage it
passed without dissenting vote.
The bill is a simple one, but very
effective and makes it possible to con-
vict oyster thieves. Under the law as
at present an oyster pirate can only be
convicted when it is proven that he
has stolen oysters of some particular
person.
Senator Minch greatly simplifies the
matter by his bill. His measure
makes it misdemeanor to dredge
oysters upon any grounds not leased
or controlled by the person so dredg-
ing. In other words while it is often
very apparent that certain boat is
dredging on grounds not leased by
the owner of the vessel it is difficult
to actually locate the vessel upon some
specific ground. Hereafter, if the
Minch bill becomes law, it will only
be necessary to show that the boat is
not working upon the grounds of it's
owner.
