THOMPSON BREAKS
FROM QUARANTINE.

Vineland, N. j., Dec. 29.-Aubry
Thompson, the colored man who
created wild alarm by appearing at
dance in Millville while suffering
with well-developed case of small
pox, was placed under quarantine and
strong guard in his home here.
During the night he managed to elude
this guard and escape in light attire.
He reached bit of woods near the
town, where he started primitive
camp. When anyone approached him
the unfortunate exclaimed:
Keep away Keep away Don't
come near me on your life %
When, in spite of the warning, any
body did approach nearer he ran and
disappeared further into the woods.
Farmers and wood choppers thought
him a madman, but when the news
reached the Vineland authorities they
knew he was Thompson, and they de-
c1ded that he must be secured. Frank
Donderia, who had once had the dis
ease, volunteered to go after the man.
Donderia found him bending shiver-
lngly over Pickering little campfire,
without shelter of any kind in an old
sand pit near Clayville. Almost
frozen stiff, he was easily captured,
and he is now safely quarantined and
guarded day and night.
This has been gloomy holiday sea-
son for Vineland All the gaieties.
including dances and Christmas enter
tainments at the churches, were de-

closed for an indefinite period and no
services were held in any of the

The authorities have made great
efforts to check the smallpox epi-
demic. and they are now confident
that they have succeeded Heath In
spector Marvel says that, with the ex-
ception of the Thompson case, all the
victims have been properly quaran-
tined

SUNDAY MORNING
BLAZE A BAD ONE.

lt did not take very long for the
double house on Bergen street belong
ing to the estate of David P. Elmer to
be destroyed Sunday morning, and
two families were made homeless.
Bergen street is little thorough
fare running parallel with Academy
street. between Academy and Vine
streets. 1t is quite colony for Third
ward colored folks.
Shortly after nine O'Clock Sunday
morning, Jay Demby. who lives in
one side of the house, discovered fire
under the roof 1t had spread from
the chimney. 1t was soon discovered
that it was impossible to check the
flames. and Demby started for the fire
alarm box at the Court House corner.
Neigh5ors come to the rescue and be-
gan moving the household Eeffects out
of the Demby residence, as well as
those of George Purnell who lived on
the other side of the house.
The flames soon spread, carried
themselves all over the roof, and the
work of getting the goods out was
only interfered with by the falling of
the roof.
The goods were carried out in the
snow covered street ard piled up pre-
miscuously, and as usual in such
cases, there was considerable damage
done
In the meantime the Fire Depart
ment responded quickly. The Third
ward boys had their wagon out and
was iaunting along over the frozen
highway.
Driver Green. upon the chemical
engine, with his handsome roam team
came along like the wind. The long
run was telling upon the horses but
they buckled down to the work in.
good shape.
Upon Academy street the driver
found himself in narrow quarters, and
he took the team back some. AS he
pulled out to the right to make the
turn into the lane leading to Bergen
lsstreet, the horses were upon a glare
OF, -ce and one of the team slipped
i1aIs seiifew the tongue of the wagon
around and knocked the off horse
down Quick as flash Green was at
the head of the frightened, high spir-
tied horses and managed to prevent
them from doing any damage
A crowd of men seized the wagon
and pulled it the short remaining dis
tance to the fire.
The Third ward department was
first to get stream upon the blaze,
and it was soon apparent that the
flames would spread no further. On
the east, not three feet from the burn
ing building, stands an unoccupied
frame house and the firemen directed
their attention to look after that. The
building was not damaged
When the Silsby engine got in ac-
tion the blaze was soon extinguished
and all danger was soon past.
The damage was slight, despite the
double house was practically de-
stroyed. The house had no particular
value
A big crowd of people were gath
cred about the blazing house.
The firemen found their job rather
disagreeable one from the fact that
it was extremely cold, and every time
bit of water fell upon them it i'm
mediately froze.

THIRD WARD
TROLLEY ASSURED.

Every member of Council was pres
ent in his seat Friday night at the ad-
journed meeting for the purpose of
considering the final passage of the
ordinance giving Third ward people
added trolley facilities. There were
number of pectators present inter-
ested in the proceedings.
President Deal stated the special
object of thelmeeting to be the con-
sideration Of the gordinanoe granting
the Bridgeton and Millville Traction
Company franchise to extend its
tracks in the Third ward, greatly in
creasing the railway facilities there.
Mr.. Nichols moved that the ordi
nance be taken up ON it's third read
ing, and for fifteen minutes Recorder
Hewitt was reading the type written
document before him describing the
route and fixing the stipulations sur
rounding the grant.
The third reading was then passed
upon and the ordinance put upon its
final passage Every member of the
fifteen voted for the ordinance and it
was passed unanimously, and ordered
printed according to law.
Mr.. Nichols offered resolution fix
ing the location Of the rails, tracks
and poles, and it was adopted.
Mr.. Lorenzo Allen appeared before
Council and stated that he had pur-
chased in February last property on
Pine street, in the second ward, for
which he paid $780, He was not
called upon by the Assessor and there
was placed upon it a valuation of
$500. The tax notice was not deliv-
cred to him until too late to appear
before the Commissioners of Appeals,
and he therefore asked Council for
redress. 1t was ordered that the valu-
alton be reduced to 5000.
Mr.. Nichols then made a short ad-
dress upon the matter of the revoking
of the license of Leonard H. Meyers.
Mr.. Nichols said that a lawyer had
secured writ of certiorari against
the city in the Meyers matter. This
he declared was the one effort always
put forth by lawyers. While he be-
ievedIthe Courts would sustain the
city, yet he expected that pending
the decision Meyers license would
expire by limitation.
Mr.. Nichols felt that he should say
something to explain to the public
that Council was acting legally when
the license was revoked He ex-
planned that the city charter drawn
by the late Charles E. Elmer, Charles
E. Sheppard and James J. Reeves,
gave the city power to pass upon the
license question. The ordinance was
read which specifically stated that a
license granted could be revoked at
the pleasure of Council, and without
showing cause. Licenses were ac-
cepted by liquor dealers with that
stipulation. Why, explained Mr..
Nichols, that was Parker's scheme to
get a license. He expected, as first
step to have his license revoked and a
new one granted.
ECouncil then adjourned until jan
uary first, at II O'Clock.

Mothers Brave Rescue of Baby.
Clayton, N. j., Dec. 27.-Without
warning and with aloud report the
water back of the kitcnen range at the
residence of John Shearer exploded
with terrific force this afternoon. AL
most Immediately the house was
ablaze.
Mrs. Shearer was upstairs at work,
and she recalled the fact that her baby

Workman Was Sensitive.

Patrick McCabe, lately a section
hand on the Frisco road at Wichita,
is suing that corporation for damages
for injuries received while in its en-
ploy. His plea is that while work
ing the foreman spoke to him in a
loud, profane and very boisterous man
ner, thereby causing the plaintiff to
be nervous and excited and thereby
causing HIM to place himself in a
position of great bodily danger, and
to a greater degree than he otherwise
would have done" The orders were
given 'in a very loud and b~oisterous
manner, backed up by many oaths
such as BE smart, BE quick and
Move YOURSELF etc" Kansas section

M'GAHEY CONTEMPT PROCEED
iNGS.

Question of Guilt VIII Hinge on
Whether the ScuffIe Was Had With
the Officer Prior to or After Service
of Process.
The contempt proceedings against
Arthur z. McGahey, growing ont of
the injunction proceedings served out
against f. G. Patterson. and others.
on January 81 for violation of the pro-
hibition law. came up in the chambers
of Judge Winchester last evening, the
defendant and his attorneys. At. Pat
terson and Major Hamilton. appearing
and fling answers to the several in
terrogations submitted and served by
States Attorney Register.
Mr.. McGahey admitted that he knew
George A. WEIGH. the officer who
served the process IN the night in
question. was the sheriff of Burleigh
county, but denied that he offered any
resistance after the service of the
process on him.
There were fifteen separate interro-
cations based upon the affidavit made
by Sheriff WEIGH upon which the con-
tempt proceedings were sworn out.
but the chief question at issue seems
to be whether or not the defendant
knew the officer making the seizure
was acting in his official capacity. and
to a layman it would appear that the
whole question Of his guilt or of inno-
hinges on whether or not the
sheriff should have served the process
previous to making the seizure.
A number of subpoenas are in the
hands of the sheriff for witnesses to
testify in behalf CT the defendant. but
that officer has refused to make serv-
ice until his fee for such service has
been advanced.
On motion of States Attorney Reg
lister, Sheriff WEIGH was sworn and
testified as to what had transpired in
the basement of the Northwest hotel
at the time of making the seizure,
which vas substantially as heretofore
published in these columns. During
the witness testimony other pros
pective witnesses were excluded from
the room
The examination of the witness was
conducted by Mayor Register, who is
assisting the states attorney. At the
conclusion of the direct examination
an adjournment was taken until 3
o'clock Friday afternoon.

allow themselves more frequent ella
ations from their work and seek rest

upon the Northwestern Limited. the
