MORE CARE IN
CONSTRUCTION
(Mill0ille Correspondence.)
Millville, N. j., Feb, Q. 19(

AAAANillOy In C.t L GU ~ lJU4s
Dear Pioneer 1T seems to me
that the law should be more strict to
compel the safe construction of build
ings, and inspection should be pro-
vided as we'll for private as for public
buildings.
Recently. in this city, several fires
have resulted from improperly con-
structed fues. Only last week new
double house. not yet occupied, mar
rowly escaped destruction. The
heater pipe passed through partition
in the cellar to the chimney. 1t was
found that the lathing had been car
ried right up against the pipe. and
when a fire for drying purposes was
built, the hot pipe ignited the parti-
tlon and it took quick and hard work
to save the house.
Owners of adjoining houses are of
course in, danger if their neighbors'
houses are fired, and where they know
of such dangerous conditions should
promptly report it to the authorities.
The success of the Miliville Ath-
letic Association is very gratifying to
all who have the welfare of our young
men at heart 1t is place where the
young men can resort ard indulge in
Innocent games and athletic exercises,
without improper surrounding. 1t is
foil for the beer clubs and pool
rooms
The revival at the First M. E
Church has assumed large proportions.
Following Rev. @. Newing, of Scrap-
ton, Pa, Rev. E. J. Kulp, of Red
Bank, N. j., preached through last
week. His sermons were eloquent
and powerful There have been over
fifty conversions and nightly the altar
is thronged.
Millville had several sensations last
week. The attempt to murder Con-
stentino by o blow from a hatchet in
the hands of another italian. several
cases of atrocious assaults, and an un-
usual exhibition of drunks, made tha
city look as if it was on the way to
the. dogs.
A skeleton was dug up by the work
men at Hershel Mulford's sandwash,
close to the edge of the river. Why
burial should have taken place there
is-sa mystery, and some think murder
was committed.
While engaged in wrestling with a
comrade, Augustus Clark plunged
through window, severing an artery
in his wrist. He lost q great deal of
blood before surgical aid could be
rendered.
The tract Of woodland south of the
pike, on the west side of the river.
which has for some years served as
picnic grove. has been cut of, sand the
land laid out in building lots.
A new smoke stack at the cotton
mill is two hundred feet high, replace

Several runaways last week. but
only one man was hurt. and he but
slightly.

The legislators will make q united

of the chaos into which they have
been plunged by the avalanche of fish

probable that among the bills to be
thus considered are those providing
for the killing of robins under certain

STORY OF
THE JAIL RECORDS.

During the year 1908 there were in
carcerated in the Cumberland county
jail 446 prisoners, of these 80 were
women. The youngest prisoner was a
boy of years, while there was an
other boy of and girl Of 10.
There were two men in the prison
during the year who were just one
year less than three score and ten.
The most persistent offender received
during the year is John Doyle. He is
63 years old and has been committed
nearly two hundred times. The vari-
GUS offenses committed by the prison
ness. assault and battery, larceny,
non support. default of tax. abusing q
horse, forgery, felonious assault,
breaking an entering. burglary, fight
ing, lewdness, rape. larceny as bailee.
malicious mischief, embezzlement,
disoroerly b,ue gambling, resisting
an officer. inoorrigibie, disturbing the
peace false pretense, seduction, adnl-
terry. fornication. illegal sale, profan-
ity. perjury, crap playing.
The greatest number Of prisoners
were committed to the jail by Mayor
Hampton, while Justice S. M. Hall
sent over the next highest number and
Mayor Payne. of Mllville, was the
third best man
These statistics are taken from the
big book at tine Sheriff's office which
as bean in use since June 1882, and is
supposed to bear the name OF every
person committed to jail since that
date. From June, 1882. until the 18th
of January last, the big book shows
that there have been committed 1869
persons for all grades of crimes. Out
of these nearly three thousand prison
ers one was hanged. Others for murder
were sent to State Prison for twenty
years. One prisoner, a colored man
named Brown, for series of burg
laries, was sent to prison for term of
thirty-four years. Think OF Oumber-
land county supporting jail popula-
tion of 1862 since 1889, quite town
in itself.
The first name appearing upon the
jail book was that of John Simpkins
He was committed to Jail as tramp
-fo4 thirty days in June, 1882. by John
Smalley, former Mayor.
There have been several Jail War
dens since 1882. Frank J. Lore came
to tha position in 1888 The book
shows that he was followed by Harry
d. Shaw in 1885, and Roland Phifer
was the Jail warden in 1890 Geo. L.
Watkins came to the prison as Jail
warden in 1898, remaining until 1899.
Fred Kampf has been Jail warden
since 1908.
It's a wonderful book this Jail sta
tistio history. What stories of heart
aches and great sorrows it could re-
veal. What shame is hidden in the
pages between the covers. What
awful crimes are told of, and what
punishment has been suffered, what
wrongs committed. A dark tale of
miserable crime, one that had better
never be open again to the eye of man.

Women's High-Pitched Voices.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A Philadelphia who has been back a
week or so from an extensive tour of Eu-
rope concludes that American women, as
seen in the general view in street and shop,
are all right to look at, but" he says, Il
never knew now bad they were to listen to
until l came back and heard their voices,
-high-pitched and with a nasal twang that
seems excessive after summers respite.
really think it must be worse thai when 1
left, and If there are any statistics on the
subject l would be willing to bet on 1t. To
me it is now so noticeable that l wonder
every time when 1 see that other people do
rot seem to hear it. OF course, you can get
used to anything, but when 1 do find a wo-
man now whose speech is of the low, full
voiced kind you hear in Europe, it acts like
positive rest for the ear. They say, l be-
lieve, that the feminine nasal squeak is
worse in the country than in the city, but
l don't see how that could be possible
Physical culture will never fulfill its func-
lions completely till it does away with the
high-pitched voice"

Church of the Saviour of this city, who
will be chairman Of the board of inquiry
which will investigate the charges made in
behalf of the Rev. Ingram N. w. Irvine

formation he has CLEANED from the news
papers.
Il have not received the papers in the
case" said DR.. Bodine land am not GER
tain that they will be forwarded to me.
Should they be committed to my care do
not know that 1 would have authority to
make public anything concerning the con-
tents. l will merely be the custodian of
the papers until January 10, when they
shall be laid before the board of inquiry.
''It is the rule in such cases that the
papers are sent to the eldest presbyter who
holds them as custodian until they are re-
Quired. l understand that Dr. Dix is said
to have sent the presentment to me. but 1
do not know that he has. DR.. Dix with
drew from the board because Of the in
firmities of age He is a brilliant and
capable man, but was physically unable to
attend the last convention of the church.
HE would scarcely be able, therefore,
to stand the strain of the proceedings in
this case"
RI. DR.. Morgan Dix was appointed a
member of the board of inquiry by Bishop
futile, the presiding bishop of the church.
Being the eldest presbyter the papers were
given into his care. His withdrawal from

Shock to Benevolent Desire.

From the Chicago Interior
A benevolent neighbor of ours is some
times put to it to decide whether her good
intentions do not cause quite as much trou-
BILE as they cure The other day she was
visiting in the tenement of 4 very poor fam
lily, in whose wretched home she found a
litter of puppies better cared for than the
children, and basketful of kittens absorb
Ing the attention which might have been
proftably devoted to the hopping of the
floor. While meditating how she could best
offer some gift of money which might be
wisely applied to immediate necessities, the
eldest daughter of the one-room home
abruptly asked: Say, Mrs. x, wouldn't
you like to buy two of these puppies? You
can have them for 81" Glad Of an oppor-

1t was evidently much needed, she was
opening her purse, when she thought to in
quire: f'Mary, what will you do with the 81
