THREE DAYS OF
FUNERALS in CHICAGO.

Number of Dead in Ir0qu0is Disaster
587-Chicag0 Theaters Closed by
Mayors Order-lnvestigati0n Being
Made to Fix Responsibility for the
Frightful Loss of Life.
The burying of the dead from the
Eoquois Theater disaster and the ex.
huming Of evidence fguratively buried
by the theater management marked the
opening days of the year 1904 in Chi
cago.
Five hundred and eighty. seven funer-
ais were held over the bodies Of those
whose lives paid the price of their entry
to the Iroquois on December 30, on last
Saturday, Sunday and Monday. By
common assent of the clergy, LEAD,
Kindly Light" the hymn written by
Cardinal Newman, was sung at all the
funerals.
Every effort is being made by all the
authorities looking toward placing the
responsibility for the Iroquois holo.
caust, and the managers of the ill-fated
theater, Will j. Davis aud Harry ].
Powers, and George Williams, Build
ing Commissioner of Chicago, have
been arrested and must face the charge
Of manslaughter. They are out on
$40. 900 bonds each.
Startling developments in the investi-
cation and official action follow each
other closely. The city's quota of
theaters, thirty.six in number, have
been ordered not to open until permits
sion from the Building Commissioner is
given; thirty-four of these were ordered
closed.
Fire Inspector Munroe Fulkerson has
discovered the secret of the fire. The
asbestos curtain upon which the safety
of the audience depended. was, accord
ing to Mr.. Fulkerson. blocked in its
descent by reflector carelessly left
open by a stage hand. While one end
of the curtain got within five feet of
the stage the other was suspended
twenty feet above it, and beneath it
swept the food of fame that carried
death to so many hundred.
The wire used in the aerial ballet,
mentioned as possible cause of the cur.
tain's failure to reach the stage, was
proven to have been out of the way of
the curtain as it descended.
Ma zzoni. scene shifter. who was
placed under arrest. after his release
on bonds of $4,000, disclosed the truth
of the misplaced reflector to Fire In
spector Fulkerson.
1t is ordered that every theater in
Chicago must hereafter comply with
the following provisions before they
will be allowed to open:
Steel roll curtains, wide exits. no
combustibles of any kind in the house
furnishings, fire proofed scenery, no
calcium or "spot" lights to be used on
the stage, skylights above the stage
provided with automatic lids to permit
the egress of smoke, fire and gas;
separate stairways-each exit having
its own stairs leading to the street.

THE swEEPsTAKE WAS sALTED
How California Placer Mine Was
Sold for S6,OOO,OO0.

A suit involving sensational charges
against prominent men, and likewise
involving the rescindment of an agree
ment representing $4,000, 900, was fled
in the Superior Court at San Francisco
last week.
The plaintiff is Robert J. Anderson,
the Western representative Of well
known Eastern millionaires. and the
defendants are Judge John F. Davis of
Amador. Code Commissioner Of the
State Of CALIFORNIA;; Edward A. Davis
his brother, aud Frank Hall Of San
Francisco.
The defendants are charged with hav.
ing "salted" the Sweepstake mine,
near Weaverville. Trinity County. Cali.
fornia. for the purpose of disposing Of
their interest in the property to Ander.
son and the men he represents.
The complaint recites that the de-
PENDANTS, who were the owners Of
practically all the stock of the Sweep
stake Gold Mining aud Ditch Company.
on March 81, 1901, entered into an
agreement with the plaintiff. whereby
they disposed of all said interest to him
for the sum of s6. 900, 900. the same to
be paid in installments. At the same
time they gave Anderson bond on
the property, one Of the provisions Of
which was that he should dispose of
the interest so acquired only to Frank
s. Lewis of the Reading Railroad and
w. P. and E. v. Douglass Of the Lake
Superior Consolidated.
Upon the strength Of the returns
made at an examination, it is asserted
in the complaint that Anderson made
the first installment payment Of $685..
600. On August 15. three months later.
he made another installment payment
of like amount, making $3.50, 900 in all
paid by him to the defendants.
In the meantime, the plaintiff claims,
he constructed pipe lines and built
equipment which cost 100000.
In July, 1909. the complaint con-
tinues, Anderson discovered that the
Sweepstake mine had been "salted.
The plaintiff prays that the Court
will order the agreement recinded and
render Judgment for $3.50, 900. with in.
terest thereon, and costs Of suit.

LAND HISTORY.

The Oldest record of this property to be
found in Salem County is in the first
book of divisions of property in the Sur.
rogate's office. Therein is mentioned the
mill property III the division of the es-
tate of Thomas Carney, by commission.
ers in 1898, after the death of Thomas
Carney, Jr.
Thomas Carney was born in Ireland in
1909, i%mmigrated to Salem County when
a young man and became one OF the larg-
est land holders. He owned Carney's
Point, and had a tide mill there. He
owned the brick. mill property and 300
acres adjoining. The late Judge William
Summerill in a brief history of this mill
published in the PENIS Grove RECORD
in 1885, said that an old account book
showed that the mill was repaired in
1776 and it vas most probably built by
Thomas Carney, ST., about the middle of
the 18th century or a few years previous.
In the division of the Carney property
in 1893 the heirs of Thomas Carney, Jr.,
got $50 acres bounded on Sandy run and
Two Penny run-the farm now owned
by Elwood S. Layton and part of John
Norton's. John Summerllls heirs got
the Benz. Black farm of $50 acres, while
the mill was held in common.
Soon after the division the mill was
sold. William Miller came into possess
sion of it and.i became known as emil
ler's Mill" Samuel Miller, an heir pur-
chased his brothers shares and in 1902
sold the mill property to William Holmes.
In 1905 William Holmes sold it to Charles
Jones. On the suit of Samuel WINS, of
Monmouth County, against Charles Jones
the mill was sold at Sheriff sale in 1908
to Anthony Wardell.
When the mill was sold by Thomas
Carney's heirs, Hannah Carney, who be-
came the wife of Robert G. johnson, was
not of legal age. Mr.. Johnson brought
suit in the Supreme Court and recovered
his wife'sshare. The mill was sold at COM
missioners' sale, as the property of An
thony WardelPs heirs and Hannah Car
ney Johnson's heirs in 1926 and purchas-
ed by Luke Dancer. Borden Dancer got
the mill property by the division OF his

THE OLD MILL.
Farewell, old mill, farewell, and good bye,
To mankind ever a blessing and friend;
We part. but unbidden arises a sigh,
That our friendship at last has come to an end :
But memory shall cherish for many a day,
The moss-covered mill that has vanished away
Long had you stood by the side of the stream.
To grind for mankind the golden grain,
To cherish his heart like the sweet sunbeam.
That bursts through the clouds, just after
the rain;
Your usefulness never can rightly be told,
Nor the bushels you ground as yellow as gold.
Oh! such is our life. though long it may be,
We flourish and bloom, then die and decay.
Though we sing like the bird, and work like
the bee,
All men and all things are passing away.
And a new generation shall soon take the place
OF those whom the ravage of Time shall erase.
So farewell, old mill, farewell and goodbye,
To mankind ever a blessing and friend,
We part, but unbidden arises a sigh,
That our friendship at last has come to an
end.
But memory shall cherish for many a day,
The moss-covered mill that has vanished away.
