HI. Bacon, Esq, ard he seemed per-
fectly at ease yesterday afternoon as
the plaintiffs case was presented.
Senator Gebhard presented his case
frankly to the jury, alleging that the
plaintiffs had used every precaution
necessary before crossing the track
with mule team, while the corpora
tion was negligent by running the
train with the engine behind the cars,
which he would hold was contrary to
the laws of this State. and because a
brakeman or other train hand. upon
the day of the accident, actually
caused the accident. 1t was alleged
by Senator Gebhard and shown by
the testimony of Walter Goodwin,
that the mule team was almost over
the track, when this train hand, rid
Ing upon the cars. gave loud yell,
possibly of warning, but " hich caused
the mules to stop still. 1t was be-
cause of this stopping of the train the
accident occurred otherwise the
wagon would have escaped being
struck
When the collision occurred Mrs.
Goodwin was thrown long distance
from the track end rendered uncon-
soious She was taken home and
afterwards removed to a Woman Is
Hospital in Philadelphia All these
facts were shown by the testimony OF
Mr.. Goodwin, the husband It was
further shown that Mrs. Goodwin was
still suffering from the injuries. She
is thirty three

Goodwin were set forth at some length
by Mrs. DR.. E. L. Peck, of the hos
pital Mrs. DR.. A. III. Goodwin, o1
the West Philadelphia Hospital, was
also called yesterday afternoon and

injuries of Mrs. Goodwin.

Fire in l.. Newcomb,s Office.


9 Vineland journal, Jan. 5. Fire was
discovered in Lawyer Newcomb' s
office last evening about seven o clock.
The alarm was quickly given and a
bucket brigade was formed. but
Though the excitement they failed to
get water enough, and the Fire De-
partment had to be called out. The
flames had started in the southwest
room of the Decker Block, and had
burned hole in the floor and burned
up a stand near by, besides scorching
the woodwork all over the room and
practically running everything in it.
The firemen soon had stream On and
quenched the flames. Water ran down
into the rear room of Hyners cigar
store and over the stoves and hard
ware in Lewis store. doing more or
less damage. One of the big safe
doors was open, and the ends of all the
papers scorohed, but Mr.. Newcomb
thinks he will be able to use most of
them. Most of the books, new and
old, had the backs burned off or
scorohed. Mr.. Newcomb said this
morning that he was unable to tell
the amount of damage done. The
cause of the fire is Eot clear. Some
think the stove pipe fell down, and
others think piece of coal snapped
out on the floor. Some-say it was an
overheated stove, but the woodwork
nearest the stove was not burned as
badly as in other parts of the room.
The fire started eight or ten feet from
the stove. Mr.. Newcomb was at sup
per when the fire ocurred.

PROTECTING THE
THEATRE PATRONS.

Tuesday afternoon Mayor ssAlex s..R.
Fithian visited the Criterion theatre
and with Manager Moore made care
full and complete inspection of the
pretty playhouse with the idea of sug-
gesting anything that might be an i'm
provement in emptying the house in
case of any trouble.
Manager Moore was especially oour-
teous and made it possible for the
Mayor to thoroughly examine every
feature of the house. Furthermore
during the investigation the manager
showed that he had in contemplation
many Improvements that would add
to the safety of the house.
The first floor is especially we'll
equipped for the exit of crowds. The
doors, wide ones leading to the large
lobby, are supplemented by large exit
doors that would quickly empty the
place in case Of necessity. Upon the
west and south are two great doors
which swing outward and these doors
are never locked. They are simply
fastened with slip bolts that can be
pulled down or broken by the weight
OF one man pushed against them.
| There are large exit doors from the
stage, and all of the dressing rooms.
which are upon the second floor OF
the Criterion building, can be emptied
through the building should the stage
entrance be cut off.
The balcony. in which are the dress
circle and family circle, is reached by
two stairs leading down in the main
lobby. Mr.. Moore has already planned
to cut large exit doors upon the east
which would allow people to go out
N the Criterion building and down
the main stairway leading to the
street. This would relieve a great
deal of congestion that might be pos.
sible, if people crowded the stairs in
rush.
The gallery is not, at present, as
we'll provided for as the theatre man.
agement had hoped long before this tc
have had it. The construction of 9
modern. approved fire escape had be-
gun leading down in the lane on the
south. After the work had started
Mr.. Edward Mulford, who controls
the lane leading between thej Minct
building and the theatre, obtained 8
permanent injunction against Man.
ager Moore, preventing the completion
of the work. Manager Moore has al
the material for the fire escape, and il
permitted can complete the work in
twenty -four hours.
In addition to this fire escape Man.
ager Moore has arranged to make two
other exits from this gallery through
the main Criterion building. All OF
| the sDecial fire exits will be plainly
marked.
The Mayor and Manager Moore con.
ferred at considerable length regard
ing the matter, and Manager Moore
said that Immediately City Council
Fire Escape Committee was appointed
by President Jones, he would invite
the Committee to inspect the theatre
and would at once follow any practical
suggestion that might be made by
| them.

CONGRATULATIONS
FROM MILLVILLE.

Millville, N. j.. Jan. s. 1904
Dear Pioneer ''-Millville sends
congratulations to Bridgeton, over the
threshold of 1904, on the Inauguration
of her new Republican Mayor, Alex
ander f. Fithian, a gentleman from
whom great things are expected in
administering the affairs of our sister
city. His ability, culture, wide in
formation on public matters, and un-
questionable integrity and high char
acter warrant the assumption that his
administration will be crowned with
success.
Millville also sends congratulations
to Bridgetop on her escape from the
threatened return of the beer saloons.
Charles E. Sheppard merits the thanks
of all no license people. for the ad-
mirable manner in which he knocked
the hoops off the beer kegs. Temper
ance people everywhere throughout
the county rejoice that the attempt to
overrule the clearly expressed will Of
the people was met and so cleverly de-
feated. Eope that Bridgeton will be
clear of this evil Tor years to come.
The sudden death of Miss Clara
May Zelley, the talented and amiable
daughter of Rev. Fl. J. Zelley, was a
severe shock to this community. where
the young lady had hosts of friends.
The attack upon our young fellow
citizen, Aaron Eldridge, Jr., by a
gang of Vineland toughs, was a most
outrageous affair, and his assailant
should be severely dealt with. The
assault was entirely unprovoked.
Illuminated Christmas trees are
dangerous. One at the residence of
Mrs. Kelly took fire and though her
son-in-l law promptly conveyed it from
the room considerable damage was
DONE
While playing basket ball Walter
Campbell was very painfully injured
by a large splinter entering his foot.
Such wounds are not only painful but
dangerous.
Edward Lewellyn, driver for Ed
ward Wallace, was quite painfully in
jured while unloading q box. 1t
slipped and struck him in the face,
crushing his nose.
The Mayor is after the boys and
young men who have been disturbing
the Salvation Army meetings with a
sharp stick. No matter what the pc
culiarities of religious bodies they are
entitled to hold their meetings undis-
turbed.
The social whirl has been immense
during the holiday season. Balls.
parties. celebrations, etc., have kept
the people on the go all the time.
A little son of baker George Andreas
stumbled, fell and broke his collar
