CANNON CRACKERS
CAUSE TROUBLE.

What very narrowly proved to be a
fatal accident occurred Saturday night
the result of reckless Fourth of july
enthusiasm.
Peter Schmidt, of Greenwich, with
his niece, were driving along Com
merce street. about nine O'Clock when
great cannon crackers were exploded
in the street.
The horse was frightened and
jumped into run, collided with a
heavy market wagon. Both Mr..
Schmidt and the young woman were
pitched head first from the wagon,
striking upon their face. Very fortu-
nately both the victims of the accident
struck the earth which was exposed
by the removal of the paved block by
the telephone company. The earth
bad been softened by the rain, and
while the fall was hard, it is quite
certain that death would have been
instantaneous if the face and head
had struck the asphalt block.
Those who witnessed the accident
were Mortified and ran hurriedly to
the scene. Mr.. Schmidt was picked
up and carried to the Office of DR..
Kirchhoff, where he and DR.. Sites
gave him attention. His face was
horribly cut and there was a great
cash in the forehead in which stitches
were necessary. The man was uncon-
scious. and after he was treated was
taken to the hospital of DR.. Elsmore
Sites, where he was taken care Of
The niece was taken to the Office of
DR.. T. G. Davis. Her face was badly
cut. and two of her teeth had been
forced through the upper lip. One
of the front teeth was broken off,
The young lady was otherwise badly
bruised. She was able to go back
home, however.

A number Of Bridgeton athletes
went to Vineland Saturday to enter
the athletic meet there. AS a result
nine gold medals and one silver medal
came to this city. The Bridgeton
toys succeeded in getting half the
prizes that were offered. The silver
cup that was to be given to the school
getting the most points was again
won by Vineland High School, who
scored 80 points, while the Bridgeton
High School secured ten. A large
delegation from the Bridgeton Ath-
letic Association headed by Rube
Hustled and Crusty Flavell made the
grounds ring with their yells. The
High School boys did net arrive until
late and the meet did not get under
way until eleven O'Clock. In the Sec
ond heat of 100 yard dash Milton Cox

the second relay they stood the same,
on the third relay the Bridgeton High
School were still in second place with
Millville A. A. first. On the fourth
relay the local High School came in
good ten yards in the lead. This
gave M. Cox, the last runner for

handily, much to the delight of the
Bridgeton rooters. The High School

Matlaek, Bacon and Cox. In the mile
run for the championship of South
Jersey Harry Hitchner won first
prize, while Rube Hustled, the we'll

Had a Ride and Feast.

A large crowd of the B. A. A. boys
wentsto the Park Monday evening and
after the performance were sitting
down in the lower pavilion, when one
of the fellow members came along in
canoe and invited two of the crowd
to go along with him. They at
tempted to get in but the bunch de-
cided that they could not go and al
though they got almost in the canoe
they did not succeed. The two young
men decided that they would go
around by the diving board and get in
the canoe there. but the crowd were
bound they should not go. Then the
two young men told the oanoeist to go
down the Raceway and they would
join him there. Some of the crowd
would not go that far and there were
but four that followed the two young
men. At last the two decided to sep
arate, one to go one side the Race and
one the other. Evans, who was one
of the two that wanted to get in the
canoe. had Swinney and Adams fol-
lowing him. After the other three
had got out of sight they all got in the
canoe and covered Evans up with
pillows so when they passed the other
bunch they would not know that he
was in the canoe. They came down
town and waited for the other three to
arrive and then one of them said he
would take the crowd to the res
taurant il. .they..would not put anything
about it in the paper. He took them
and they had fine feast.

HEALTH BOARD
IN JULY SESSION.

The regular meeting of the Health
Board was held Friday night There
was just quorum present whengthe
Board met, Presjden Sites, Kellum,
Ballenger and Bellows being in their
places. Later DR.. Streets came in.
The meeting was a lengthy and in
teresting one.
After the reading and approval Of
the minutes, the ordinance committee
presented an ordinance fixing penalty
for expectorating upon the public
streets. waiting rooms, balls and other
public places. After some discussion
the penalty for such offense was fixed
at 50 The ordinance was passed upon
two readings and when finally adopted
will be published in the Pioneer
and News.
A petition from Mrs Lizzie Perrine
to Congressman Gardner asking for
the cleaning out of the Cohansey
river, was presented and each member
of the Board signed it after adding a
clause prohibiting the dumping of
refuse in the river.
The report of Health Inspector Bel
lows showed a number of nuisances
abated, and during the month there
had been reported cases of measles,
l of typhoid fever, and l of scarlet
fever.
The Plumbing Inspector also made
his report.
Hampton & Fithian presented
legal opinion regarding the sewer or
dinance. 1t held that unless City
Council had ordered the building of
publio sewer a property holder
could not be legally forced to tap it.
Health Inspector Bellows presented
bill of $75 for compensation for his
services in visiting the smallpox hos
pital. He had made either thirty five
or thirty eight visits beside cleaning
the hospital afterward.
DR.. Streets asked what his duties
were, and it was shown that he had
to carry all the provisions to the
place. furnish the building with coal,
carry ashes and much other work that
a woman nurse could not do. 1t was
finally ordered paid without dissent
ing vote.
Attention was called to numerous
complaints made against the South
Jersey Sanitary Company for exces-
sive charges in cleaning oesspools.
1t was decided that the company
should appear before the Board and
answer the complaints. Others feel
ing aggrieved were requested to file
complaints with the Board in writing.
President Sites presented a very
exhaustive annual report reviewing
ably the work of the Board during the
year and showing the existing health
conditions. He showed how the
smallpox case had been handled, and
called attention to the fact that the
Board had exhausted it's funds, and
unless there was subsequent appro-
priation nothing more could be accom-
plished.
The annual report of the Health In
speotor dwelled particularly upon sta
tistics, showing the work of his de-
partment, and the number of cases of
disease reported at his office.
The Plumbing Inspector and Trea-
surer also reported, and it was shown
that there was less than one hundred
dollars in the treasury.
1t was stated that the reports were
always published annually for the
benefit of the public, but owing to
funds this could not be done this
wear

1T WAS A
GREAT DAY SURE,

The one hundred and twenty seventh
anniversary of the Declaration of In
dependence was banged into existence
promptly at midnight Friday. From
that time until Sabbath morn dawned
TRANQUILITY there was no let up in the
explosive enthusiasm of the small boy
nor the numerous big man.
There was nothing to it but holi-
day. Everybody quit work and set
out for good time, and they had it
despite the fact that in the morning
couple of showers made it appear pos
sible that the day was to be disap-
pointing one.
But the showers only seemed to cool
the atmosphere somewhat, lay any
suspicion of dust. and make things
nice for the balance of the day and
night. A good many Bridgeton folks
went out of town. Water lovers were
on the steamboat excursion to Wood
land Beach. and the horse racing fell
lows went over to Salem. The ath-
letes got an early start for Vineland,
and the pleasure seekers took the first
train for Atlantic City There were
some who went to Ocean City, Oape
May and Wildwood. but Atlantic
caught the greatest crowds.
Patriotic folks who wanted a plain,
old fashioned Fourth, with speech
making, plenty of pionic pleasures
under the trees. and all that sort of
thing, went down to Newport and
Dividing Greek and enjoyed the
demonstration there.
But the Tumblng Dam Park, of
course. was the mecca of the thou
sands of folks who did not want to
take long trip away. And well did
the people enjoy the day. The picnic
parties were out in force and the great
groves were thronged with those who
wanted to live awhile out of doors.
The people began going to the Park
early. bat in the afternoon and night
the many cars pressed into service
were simply packed to their capacity
There were two ball games at the
Park, one in the morning and another
in the afternoon, and both games drew
pig crowds, the afternoon game hav-
ing very many there.
In the Park proper there was plenty
to amuse and enjoy. The vaudeville
performance was twice given, once
in the afternoon and again at night
and the Grove auditorium was crowd
ed to the limit upon both occasions.
The bill was strong one and every
feature was enjoyed.
The splendid Park orchestra fur
nished clever concerts in the morning
and afternoon, and the City Band rem
,dered a short program in the evening
in connection with the performance.
During the day and evening hun
dreds enjoyed the bathing. and the
little folks had lots of fun in the
swings, and big and little whirled
about on the carroussel. The bowling
alley was going all day, and the new
cane rack booth was a pleasurable
place for very many people, and hun
dreds of canes were secured by those
who pitched the little round rings.
Horner had both pavilions ready for
the accommodation of the public, and
the outside booths were we'll supplied
so that people could get everything
they wanted.
At night the throngs were great and
in addition to all of the pleasures sug-
gested already, there was very
oreditable display of fireworks upon
the day, set off under direction of Mr..
Horner.

Directors Held Meeting.

The Directors of the Bridgeton Ath-
leticAssociation held the semi monthly
meeting last Monday night, transact
ing the routine business. Several new
members were elected to the assooia-
tion. After the meeting the Directors
went out to the Park and enjoyed the
performance.

Wandered Three Days in Woods.
Millville, N. j.. July 2. Terribly
bitten by mosquitoes, weakened by
lack of food and staring blankly about
him, Elwood Donnelly was found to-
night in dense forest near this city.
Donnelly mysteriously disappeared
from his home last Sunday, and no
trace of him could be found, though
search had been made in every direc-
tion. Eli Garrison came upon. the un-
fortunate young man while passing
through the woods.
Donnelly was dazed, and says the
entire time since Sunday is a blank to
him. He does not know whether he
had anything to eat since he left
home.
