BRADWAY LOSESl
BOTH HIS LEGS

Some time after four O'Clock Sun
day morning, special car from
Millville brought to this city Joseph
Bradway. who had both his legs
clipped off by trolley car running
from Vineland to MillviIle. The in.
Jured man was taken to the Bridgeton
Hospital.
At half-past twelve, when the last
car came down to MiIlville from
Vlneland, the accident occurred. It
was just at the curve where the car
leaves the trestle bridge near the NAL
aga road. 1t was the last trip. AS
the car bowled along the crew were
somewhat startled by the jumping of
the rear trucks as if they had run over
something. Nothing had been hit by
he trucks forward. The car was
brought to a standstill and the crew
went back to investigate.
There they found man with both
legs horribly mangled showing that
the wheels of the heavy car had passed
over them. The man was uncon-
scious Hurriedly the man was placed
in the car and with all speed taken to
the Millville City Hall, where physi.
clans were summoned. The victim of
the accident was very weak from loss
OF blood. Instant amputation was
deemed necessary and one leg was
taken off above, and the other below.
the knee.
superintendent George Thomas. of
the Millville Traction Company, then
telephoned to General Manager Hires,
OF this city, and requested him to get
power on the Millville line so that a
car might be run over here and the
victim OF the accident be placed in the
Bridgeton Hospital. Mr.. Hires imme.
diately came down to the plant and
had the engines started and power was
turned on, and the special arrived in
this city shortly after four O'Clock,
and the man was Immediately ad-
mitted in the hospital.
1t was learned that the man was
Joseph Bradway, man of fifty-five
years. He lived with his mother here.
From investigation it would seem
that Bradway had been drinking, and
had laid down along the road where
the accident occurred. The car in
passing had evidently disturbed him
and he had rolled over and flung his
legs upon the track after the forward
trucks of the car had gone by, and just
in front OF the rear trucks.

ployed at the water works in order
that the big pump may be started at
an instant's notice.
~. Every water main from which a
factory draws it's supply of water and
which terminal is dead end should
be promptly connected with the near
est main. This applies particularly to
the mains running out Mt. Vernon,
Cohansey, Laurel, Pearl and Bank
streets, in the north end OF the Fifth
ward, and as to the mains running out
Elm street and Mannheim avenue in
the Fourth ward.
.. The present reservoir should be
Immediately repaired so that it could
safely hold it's full volume of water.
80. At least two additional reser.
vors or stand pipes should be immedi-
ately constructed. One should be 10.
Gated in the north. end of tie Fifth
ward, and one in the Third ward, and
each should hold not less than 100. 900
gallons of water.
10. The Water Committee should
be instructed to investigate the special
condition of any factory when SO re-
quested by the firm, and prompt mea.
sure to improve conditions should be
taken.
I'm reference to Article 9 should it
be impracticable to erect the stand
pipes mentioned at the present time,
these might be delayed provided the
other very necessary improvements be
carried into effect.
I'VE are aware that these improve
ments will take considerable sum of
money. However. we urge that work
be started at the earliest possible mo.
ment and then prosecuted with the
greatest vigor. The cost to be paid
either from funds at present in con.
troll OF the Water Department.. or
money should be raised in any way
that you may deem best. The people
should understand that this work will

will pay the cost in increased fire in.
surance rates without any benefit
either to themselves or to the city.
Mr.. Shoemaker also, by request,
gave the figures of the test made at
the works, practically as reported in
yestardav's HPioneer >; Ha aIso sro
gested that as matter of law it was
question whether or not the city would
not be responsible for damages in the
event of further fires, the city enter

Mr.. johnson moved that as soon as
possible the Water Committee connect
the dead ends of water mains. The
motion prevailed.
Council then adjourned.

manufacturers
Gentlemen: Last evening, Monday,
July 10, 1905, meeting of the manu-
facturers of the City of Bridgeton was
held to discuss the available water
supply and fire protection at present
afforded by the city. This meeting
was attended by about two-thirds of
the manufacturers representing prob
ably 80 per cent. of the capital in
vested in the city. The questions at
issue were thoroughly discussed and
each manufacturer present submitted a
report on the condition of his factory.
1t was unanimously agreed during the
discussion that many things were
necessary to be done to improve gen.
eral conditions and the undersigned
were appointed as permanent COM
mittee to submit to your honorable
body the recommendations of the
meeting, and if necessary, to cooperate
with you in the work of improving
existing conditions.
"We therefore beg to submit to you
the following list of improvements all
of which we consider to be of abso-
lutely vital Importance if the prop
erty of the manufacturers. and there.
fore of the whole city. is to continue.
81. Stricter rules should be adopted
for the Fire Department, and it should
be brought to higher state of effici-
ency. Special rules should be adopted
for Fourth Of July and Christmas.
''2. Means should be furnished
whereby all of the fire apparatus, in
Guiding all the engines, might be sent
at once.
80. An adequate amount of first
class hose should be promptly procured.
"a. The Fire Department. should be
allowed to accept notice of fire over
the telephone, thus often saving valu-
able time.
SO. A fire alarm box should be sta
toned at every large factory, especially
those in the outlying sections of the
city. This box should be at point
convenient of access, and not under
any circumstances further away than
500 feet.
SO. A night engineer should be EN-.

New Senatorial Courtesy.

Since several United States senators
are having the time of their lives to
keep out of the penitentiary. il is sad
that senatorial courtesy" has taken on
new form-that of encouragement
of the prosecution of senator's
The particular cases To which this
new phase of senatorial courtesy" is
being applied is that of Senator Joseph
Ralph Burton of Kansas. 1t is said that
senatorial influence is at work To pre-
vent his going To Jail should he be con
victed at his second trial. This is not
because of any personal popularity of
Senator Burton nor of any special be-
lief in his innocence. but that senators
dislike the precedent of sending sen
ator TO jail. How this is to be ac-
cepted is not exactly clear. Shall il be
understood that man is beyond the
reach of the law when he takes refuge
in the senate. or that once in that at
mosphere he can do no wrong?
The new senatorial courtesy" Will
not have much weight with the public.
Somehow violaterS of the law all look
alike To the American people, even if
such violaters be of that august body.

Concerning Reading.

or course reading may become mere
Indulgence and dissipation, a habit to
be corrected: also IL is very evident
that many great, resolute natures have
been built up with little reading or by
much reading OF a few books and much
pondering-much reading of men, or
opinions, of eYents. rather than Of the
printed page. Men Like Cromwell and
Lincoln and Others who have changed
the course OF modern history have been
SO nurtured. We could even point to

Agricultural Exports.

The American farmer is likely to do
very large business abroad this fall.
Cotton is leaving our shores at an I'M
precedented rate, the official statement
for August showing an increase in the
value of the exports of the staple
amounting 10 $34 900, 900, while the ex-
ports for the cotton year ending Aug.
81 were the largest in volume and in
value in the trades history. Bread
stuffs have not yet begun to go abroad
in large quantities, though a good de-
mand exists for them as soon as prices
reach an export basis, TO which they
are apparently tending; and the fact
that there have been active engage
ments of ocean freight accommodation
ON the regular ocean liners indicates
preparations for a large and active
season. Official reports covering GA out
of ~ governments of Russia show de
creases. for instance. in their current
harvests from those of 1904 of lis, 000.-
600 bushels of wheat. 1852. 000, 900 bush
els OF rye. and 100000. 900 bushels of
oats. The crops of France have also
been the subject of unfavorable re-
ports during the week, SO that year
of active shipments is at hand unless
speculation shall force American
prices too high.
Notwithstanding the small shipment
of breadstuffS, our general merchan-
disc export statement is continuing its
recent excellent showing, indicating for
the eight months of the calendar year
just ended an increase of s130.076.445
in the value of our imports and of

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Masked Men Shoot Farmer Dead in

Parkersburg, W. Va, May 5.-A posse

Der of Infatuated residents are search
ing Calhoun county for three masked
robbers who at an early hour Thursday
morning shot to death Charles Berk-
shire, a farmer living near Brooksville,
after inhumanely torturing his wife.
The family was aroused shortly after
midnight by the robbers who, after bind
ing the wife, led the husband to the CEN
ter of the room, turned up the lights and
ordered Mrs. Berkshire to count ten,
stating that if her husband did not tell
them where his money was they would
kill him on the tenth count. The couple
insisted that they had no money, and
the outlaws pinched and beat the wom-
an and applied burning matches to the
soles of her feet. Screaming in agony,
Mrs. Berkshire finally consented to
count ten, and on the tenth count shot
rang out and her husband fell dead.
The fiends, becoming frightened, fled,
and it was hours afterwards when
neighbors found the woman in such a
pitiable state of collapse that it is
feared she will die.
