BRIDGEToN N. j. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30 1905
MANY IN THE
CITY OF THE DEAD,

There are nine acres within the iron
renee enclosure of the Broad street
cemetery, that large square of property
bounded by Broad, Lawrence and Vine
streets and West avenue. There are
many. many hundreds of acres within
the city limits of Bridgeton. The
population of the silent city OF the
dead, known as Broad street cemetery,
IS almost ten thousand. Almost ten

dead. There are but few more than
1900 people in all Bridgeton, living
in perhaps 5000 buildings of one char.
acter or another. OF recent years the
population of Bridgeton has not in
creased particle. Each year the 81.
lent population of the cemetery at
Broad street is increased by perhaps a
hundred, some years more.
1t was in 1899 when the first grave
was opened in Broad street oemetry-

little mound was shaped over
child of the late General Giles, of
Revolutionary fame, the first of the
10000 bodies which now lie side by
side.
The cemetery comprises 170 lots, all
OF which very nearly have been pur-
chased. There are but few more lots
to be procured, and there can be no
expansion OF the property. The en-
closure is as great as it can ever be.
A day or two ago, a Pioneer re.
porter had a very interesting inter-
view with Lewis M. Bowen, the Su.
perintendent of the cemetery. For
nearly twenty-five years he has been
in charge Of the place. In the quarter
OF century of service. Superintendent
Bowen has received more than $500
bodies, more than the population of
Port Norris. in fact more people than
are in the entire township of Com
mercial.
Supt. Bowen explains that about
three years ago there was made very
| careful count of the known graves in
tie cemetery, more than 5000 being
found. There are no record of burials

fore that date having been CARED off
and buried by an insane woman and

The largest number of burials in any
one year in the history of the cemetery
was 1856.
Superintendent Bowen succeeded AL
bert Ogden in his present capacity.
Before Ogden was John Maull and
previous to him Nathan Loper. Before
the latter Mr.. Burns had charge of
the cemetery.
Almost all of his time is spent in
the care of the cemetery by Mr.
Bowen. Day after day day he works
among the mounds, stopping now and
then to open a new grave for some
friend. some acquaintance, some one
who has been close to him in fellow
ship. Year after year the mourning
professions follow the sombre caskets
up the wide graveled walk, and each
time Supt Bowen closes out the sun.
light forever from the form. Very
enderly Mr.. Bowen speaks of his long
service. There are memories crowding
in his mind as he recalls his expert
ences. All these years his time has
been spent in the presence of death.
surrounded by sorrow. All these years
he has worked to make beautiful the
last resting place of this population
and is still engaged in the work.

Bicy cles Were Taken by Officers

Bicy cles We're Taken by Officers
Police officer Smith gathered in nine
bicycle offenders Monday afternoon
for riding on the sidewalk out East
Commerce street and they appeared
before the Mayor at night. They
were discharged with warning that
il they were caught doing it again
they would have to pay the full fine
and costs. The Mayor said that this
riding on the sidewalks and riding at
night without light had been pretty
we'll broken up year ago, when a
number of riders were arrested and
fined. but either that lesson has been
forgotten or riders are getting careless.
1t is no excuse. he said, that the road
is bad. If it is too bad to ride get off
and walk. This warning will have
to be given for all riders in town as
we'll as those caught here. He said
he was afraid the next lot to be ar
rested and fined would be on Water
street.

MEETING OF
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

perland County Teachers Association
was held in the High School building
Saturday last, the exercises being par
ticularly interesting. The association
was called to order by President j. N.
Glaspell at 1915. Prayer was offered
by Rev. Fl. H. Beadle; singing exer.
oises conducted by Prof. L. H. Ho
gate, OF MillviIle.
Prof. I. +. Mather, of West JERSEY
Academy, gave a scholarly talk on
1.-The Child in the Grammar Grade. -
He traced the Development of the child
physically and mentally from the pri-
mary up through the grammar grade,
and showed how it was possible for
teachers to secure the best results from
pupils by psychological knowledge
OF the natural changes.
Prof. Chas. III. Prelsford, a Super.
vising Principal in the Philadelphia
schools, gave a most interesting and
instructive lecture on "Some Glass
Room Problems. His remarks were
not merely theoretical, but based on
experience. He said that one of the
hardest problems of the teacher is to
distinguish between the pupil who
should be helped and the one who
should not be helped; how much work
should be individual and how much to
be assisted, but that as a rule self help
is the best help.
The afternoon exercises commenced
at 1.30. Prof. Brelsford again ad
dressed the association, his subject
being. "The Pupils Prospect; The
Teachers Prospect. This talk was
repIete with practical common sense.
What did the pupil get? Gould he
look back in after years and say that
the teacher gave him all that should
have been given. If the pupil did re.
ceive all that should have been given
then he was we'll prepared for life IS
struggle. What of the teacher Their
reward must be the consciousness of
duty we'll performed. The cheerful.
ness which can only come from having
done "what she could.' He placed
the teacher as only second to the pa
rent in the molding of character in the
child and said much depended on
whether it be good or evil.
Prof. Geo. j. Vogel, representing
the State Department of Public In
struction, spoke and touched along in.
structive lines-.in the matter of school
libraries, teachers licenses and trans
ferring of pupils.
Mrs. @. III. Seeley, of this city, gave
an explanatory talk on the Teachers
Retirement Fund. Mrs. Seeley was
formerly public school teacher and
her interest in the Teachers Retire
ment Fund and incidentally the
Teachers Bazaar shows she still has
the proper professional spirit.
President John N. GIaspell and
Chester F. Ogden. secretary and
treasurer, were unanimously reelected
for the ensuing year.
The very large attendance at this
meeting shows the interest the teach
ers of Cumberland county take in the
association. Among the visitors were
noticed Prof. Wentzell, of Elmer.
County Superintendent Salem county
schools, also Prof. Lloyd. Principal of
Elmer schools.

GLENWOOD IS NOGO
City Railway Will Not
Be Extended.
The Collapse of the Plans to Make an
Ideal Suburban Residence Sec
tion Close to
Raleigh.

That which on its face appeared to
promise a splendid advance for Raj
eigh in the residence line has proved
an ''irridescent dream
This is the contemplated residence
section to the northwest of Raleigh,
which had already been christened
Glenwood. The necessary thing to be
done to see this a reality was to have
the city railway extend it's lines, ana
this was expected, but the railway is
not to be expected and the plan falls
through. 1t went to pieces.
Glenwood was to have had in it
sewerage and electric lights, and no
house was to be built worth less than
$4,000, and the street cars were to
Whirl through it's streets But no cars
are to whirl and Glenwood will hold
up in it's plans till some day of fairer
weather and more promising breeZeS.
The GlenWood property, as project
ed, consisted of 140 acres adjacent to
the terminus of North Saunders street
including the HinSdale property on the
west and 10 or more acres of the T. r.
Williamson tract On the north. To
reach this the car line was to be eX-
tended, commencing from the corner
of Fayetteville and Martin streets,
west to the Union Depot, up Dawson to
Hargett to West street, thence up this
TO Hillsboro, along Hillsboro to Saun-
ders and out Saunders to the Glen
wood property.
Financial matters caused the failure
of the plans. though some $4,000 or
$4,000 has already been spent in buy
ing part of the Glenwood property.
The railway could not see it's way to
make the necessary investment and
the city declined to put Saunders street
in the condition desired by the rail-
way, holding that the railway company
should do this if it wanted to lay it's
tracks. Some $4,000 was needed by
the railway some $4,000 more for
property to be bought in Glenwood and
$4,000 for improvements. The mon
ey could not be secured as desired
and the plan is laid aside for the pres
ent. The greatest trouble. however,
was not the money, but the failure to
get from the city promise to grade
and fix Saunders street.
The incorporators of the Glenwood
Company are Messrs. James II. Pou,
and VIM. j. Andrews, of Raleigh, and
Mr.. A. L. Murray, whose home is in
New England, but who is now a stock
holder in the Raleigh City Railway.
These gentlemen have purchased
much property in what was to be
Glenwood, but have had difficulty in
securing some necessary small tracts.
They have not entirely given up their
plans, but for the present hold these
IN allegiance for full developments
In the meanwhile they will arrange to
sell lots on their holdings, with the
hope that affairs may change and that
Glenwood may become the Glenwood
for which they have hoped and
for which they have already made in
vestmentS.

RATE HEARINGS CLOSE.
The Commission to Consider Report
to Congress-Statement by
Spencer.
CBv the Associated Press.)


Washington, May 23.-The Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
Commission today closed the hearings
on the regulation of railway rates,
but will devote the remainder of the
week to consideration of a plan of
report and other suggestions to facili-
tate proceedings when Congress re-
assemblies. 1t is not expected that
any determination will be reached i'm
mediately bearing upon the nature of
the report
Samuel Spencer, president of the
Southern railway, today made a brief
another which will be filed with the
committee. Referring to testimony
of the Interstate Commerce Com
missioners, Mr.. Spencer said that the
agreement of the Southern railroad
in 1902 was dissolved after the
trans Missouri decision. 1t was not
now in effect in any sense, he added
although there was an association
composed of railroad men who met
and discussed affairs, but made no
agreement as to division of territory
and rates.
He referred also to the acquisition
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad by
the Southern and asserted that in
buying this road advances in rates
were not made in order to pay for
the increased capitalization as had
been intimated. He pointed out that
the railroads were not advocating
regulation of rates by the courts, but
maintained that if a question of rates
must be passed upon by any tribunal
it should be by the courts as other
wise the property of the railroads
would not be protected.
