Labor Conference.

Atlantic City, N. j., July 24.-The
present week will witness the most
important labor conferences ever held
in this city. Members of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor, headed by
President Samuel Gompers and Vice
President James O'Oonnell, of New
York, and Secretary Frank Morrison,
of Washington, will be here to talk
over the Industrial situation with the
Executive Board of the Glassblowers'
Association Of the United States.
The Welfare Department of the Ma.
tional Civic Federation will also meet
in this city, beginning tomorrow. At
the sessions of the Jewish Ohautauqua
here, men prominent in the greater
industrial enterprises of the country,
have discussed questions in which
their thousands of employees were
vitality interested.
The president of the Glassblowers
Association is D. A. Hayes, of Phila-
delphia. At this meeting the blowers
will meet a committee representing
the manufacturers of glass, and the
conference is for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon hours of labor and an

Pumping the Wells.

The Water Committee of City Coun-
Gil will find out whether or not there
is an water in the driven wells at the
water plant is to be definitely deter:
mined = determined by genuine.
earnest test. The committee has di-
rected the Water Superintendent to at
tach a pump to the wells and keep
working them constantly, adding the
supply secured to the large we'll in
use all the while. When the pumping
first begins in the morning there is a
strong six inch stream which after a
little while falls off, but the pumps
can raise a smaller stream constantly.
1t is probable that the supply will
after a little while be measured so
that it will be definitely known just
how much water can be depended
upon with an ordinary pump. Friends
of the driven well system declare that
the water could be supplied in abund-
ance with an air lift. but this expert
ment would be somewhat expensive
one.
The community will feel much in
terested in the test and will commend
the action OF the committee in using
every available method of securing
water without resorting to the use OF
pond water.

SickIer is Now in Jail.

While his wife has been destitute,
his children dying, John Sickler, a
good-for- nothing, drunken brute, has
been floating about the country drink
ing and spending considerable money.
His dissipation, for the present, is
ended, and Sickler is now in Jail
charged with desertion under an act
of the Legislature, which may cause
him to be sent to State Prison.
Constable Lorenzo D. Woodruff
Sunday learned that Sickler was in
Millville, and with warrant issued
by Justice of the Peace Pancoast
Lewis. the constable early started for
Millville. While going over Woodruff
noticed Sickler in car, and he
changed over in the car. Sickler no.
ticed Woodruff and Immediately asked
him if he had a warrant for him
Woodruff said no. Sickler said he
was going to get out of the car and
attempted to do so. The constable
grappled with Sickler and pinned him
to the seat of the car and finally landed
him in Jail where he was locked up.
At the Jail Sickler displayed con-
siderable amount of money and offered
to send $13 to his family. He kept
some other money he had with him.
Sickler said he had gone off because
he had been drinking and he was
afraid he would do some damage. He
said he had been in Baltimore. Md.
The complaint against him in this
case is desertion, which is a criminal
offense.
There is another warrant out for his
arrest, complaint having been made
by the Overseer of the Poor of the
Third ward, and under this, he may
be held under bonds to support his
family. .N8 tI

Old Woman Takes New Tack.

Vineland, July o. Miss Susan P.
Fowler, of Chestnut avenue, is fnan-
cially embarrassed. For forty long
years she has toiled on her farm and
now finds herself. her horse, her
house, all out of repair. Miss Fowler
is about eighty-two years old, which
is pretty good for woman who was
on the verge of the grave at thirty
five. AS some will remember, Miss
Fowler always paid her taxes under
protest and always filed written pro-
test against taxation without repre-.
sentation. She always believed she
was citizen of the United States and
the constitution says all citizens have
the right to vote. Miss Fowler says
Tor forty years tax money has been
taken from her illegally and she wants
it back.
She says that by high freights and
the.greed of corporations she has been
robbed while her right to vote was
denied. Taxation without representa-
tion, she says, is intolerable tyranny
and is just what separates us from
England. Miss Fowler is really in
need Of help from some quarter. She
says she will not ask charity, but it
is evident that something must be
done for her comfort the coming win
Ter. The house must be repaired to
De made comfortable. Miss Fowler is
feeble. She has been sick most of the
Time the past year. This summer she
mas had to hire most of the farm
work done. AS all know, there is
little profit in that.

MORE JONAS
COMPANY BRINGS SUIT.

One OF the most important civil suits
ever brought in this county has been
started in the New Jersey Supreme
Court by the More. Jonas Glass Com.
pany against the West Jersey and Sea-
shore Railroad Company, the glass
company alleging that the railroad
company was responsible for the very
serious loss caused by the fire at the
More Jonas plant on the afternoon of
the Fourth of July.
The suit is brought by the we'll
known law firm of Hampton & Fithian
for the MoresJonas Company, and with
them is associated, as advisory coun-
sci, Mr.. Walter H. Bacon, who some
time since severed his connection with
the railroad company as it's Cumber-
land county legal representative.
The summons and declaration setting
forth the allegation and the damages
caused by the fire, were this morning
placed in the hands of Sheriff Somers.
OF Camden county, and service will be
made to-day upon the West Jersey and
Seashore Railroad Company. The
venue is fixed for Cumberland county
and the trial of the case will be before
Supreme Court Justice Swayze, in this
city. twill be upon the list of causes
for the September session OF the Court.
Ihe Glass Company expect to have
little trouble in fixing the responsible.
ity of the fire upon the railroad com.
pany, it being claimed that sparks
from an engine passing the works was
permitted to fly upon the buildings.
The company fixes $3.50, 600 as the
amount to be sued for, and will have
no difficulty in showing an actual loss
exceeding $3.50, OOO
The suit is of greatest Importance.
and is one seldom brought. There
have been in the State several suits
against railroad companies for loss
caused by fires in forests, but few suits
have been maintained against railroad
companies for causing damage to-
buildings. In this case the glass com.
pany profess to believe that it's case is
of such nature that the railroad COM,
pany cannot successfully attack its con.
tentions. The amount involves makes
the suit one OF greatest Importance
and it will be followed with intense
interest.

Friday morning in Court House be-
fore Justice S. M. Hall, on the charge
of keeping disorderly house in the
Fithian row on South Pearl street.
Edward Lutz was the complaining
witness. He testified to language he
had heard Burke using towards a
woman, Mrs. Phoebe Garrison, who
resides with him. He related the
rackets he had heard in Burke's part,
loud talk in vilest language and pro.
family; had heard sounds of breaking
dishes, and saw Mrs. Garrison, the
woman, running down stairs, and
something flying down the stairway
after her; thought it might be a
chair.
Officer Barton testified to having re-
ceiyed telephone message to come
down to Burke's house; that Burke
was beating his housekeeper.
He said complaints had come to the
police Office half dozen times or more
about Burke when he would be drunk.
Mrs. Carrie Lutz, wife of Edward
Lut, corroborated Lutz's evidence.
Their rooms adjoined Burke's room.
She had heard men in his rooms at
night; he had attempted to get into
her room and make her take beer from
him. Heard him using vile language
and profanity.
Howard Biggs was a most reluctant
witness and was positive of nothing.
Charles Hill has lived IN the Fithian
building about two months. He had
been greatly disturbed, especially on
Saturday nights, by Burke's cursing
and swearing with the woman he sup
posed was his wife. Mrs. Charles Hill
said the quarrelling, cursing and foul
language of Mr.. Burke was very an
noying to her, disturbing her sleep at
night.
Thos. Farrell had heard Burke's
swearing and foul language much
could hear it plainly.
Mrs. Matte Sharp had not been an.
noyed by Burke's swearing. Edna B.
James, Theodore Brown and Mrs. Ella
Brown, Sadie Brown gave evidence of
varying Importance.
Phoebe Garrison was called. She
said she kept house for Burke. She
admitted that Rurke bod ooJJad bor
vile names when he was full. She
said he would have his dozen bottles
of beer, and more sometimes, on Sat.
urday nights, but she nor he never
sold any beer or liquor.
Burke said the stories told on the
witness stand were absolutely false,
but the Justice thought differently and
held him in $500 bail for Court.

Barnett Hero.

Mlilville. N. j., July 21.-Charles
Barnett is hero to.night in the ewes
OF over two score anxious parents.
The Sunday School of Trinity Meth
odlst Episcopal Church to the number
OF several hundred drove to-day to
Parvlns' Mill, their annual summer
outing. Returning home this even.
ing, horses attached to one of the
largest wagons, containing nearly fifty
children, and driven by Barnett, be.
came frightened at passing automo.
bile.
With the bits in their teeth, they
dashed headlong down the road. The
wagon with the screaming children
rocked from one side of the road to
the other. Barnett, with great cool
ness, dropped the lines and sprang
upon the tongue of the wagon and
gained the horses heads. Seizing
them by the reins, he knocked their
heads together, and finally brought
them to canter.
Farmers along the road and passen-
gers on passing trolley car, who!wit-
messed the feat, say it was the most
thrilling and courageous act they ever
saw.
Many mothersswere prostrated when
they learned of their children's mar.
row escape. There is much talk of
getting medal for Barnett.

IMPROVEMENTS
AT ACADEMY,

The Board of Trustees of the West
Jersey Academy recently elected Mr..
Irwin f. Mather, of New York, to
the Principalship of the institution.

poets Of continuing an Academy of a
high order here. He comes highly
recommended, having had eminent
success in the management of similar
institutions elsewhere. For some
time he has been the principal of the
Academic Department of Occidental
College, at Los Angeles, California.
lie has not yet resigned from that po.
sition, but it is confidently expected
that he will at once take charge at
the Academy, and that under his lead.
ership the institution will 60 on in the
Autumn to another of it's most sue
cessful years.
Extensive improvements are in con-
temptation at the Academy. Plans
are under way by which new furnish
ing for the rooms. new desks for the
school rooms, and electric lighting
Throughout the building will be added
Considerable painting and papering

beauty and comfort of the Academy.
The improvement will add to the at.
tractiveness of the institution, and, it
is hoped, will increase the attendance
and assure the success of the Academy
in the coming years.

THE G.. B. A. A.
SELECT OFFICERS.

from the Oommoner and Glasswork.
er is taken this much of the re port of
the recent Convention OF the Green
Bottle Blowers Association held at
Terre Haute, Ind.
The greatest convention ever held
by the Glass Bottle Blowers Associa.
tlon closed at Terre Haute, Ind. i,
about A. 10 p. m. Tuesday by re-elcting
all the old officers and executive board
and selecting Atlantic City, N. j., as
the next meeting place.
All the national officers were unani-
mously elected and there were only
two contests for membership on the
board. Frank Shun, of Streator, ILL.,.
opposed Jas. E. Daily and Nathaniel
Clifford, OF Millville, N. j.. was pitted
against Carlton Park. The former
members of the board both won out,
and it was a case of mo changes in
| the administration.
Never before at convention of this
association was such support given the
| national officers. That was one of .the
| reasons which made it great, and es-
| pecially the confidence reposed in the
| officers when the members were being
| led into new field of action and en- =.
tirely new lines were being laid down
particularly by President d. A.
Hayes.
l IT
| From an educational standpoint no
other convention of the association has
equalled it. Four great lessons were
taught on the floor of the convention
and much food for thought on the fu-
| ture Interests of the trade furnished
by President Hayes report. Machin
cry and how best to meet it's invasion,
discipline and how essential it is to the
success of trade union; craft inter-
ests and why autonomy and specializa
tlon will always play prominent part,
were among the course of instruction.
the like of which was never before
heard in bottle blowers convention.
If the delegates to this convention do
not carry home with them many
salient points which may soon be of
vital interest to their constituents ii
will not be because they were not
made clear and an outline OF the fu.
ture best interests of the trade proper.
| ly defined.
The program was not prearranged
which brought some of the issues for
ward, but certain unexpected circum-
stances developed that drew upon the
resources of President Hayes, and as a
result the delegates enjoyed feast,
some of which will no doubt be appre-
ciated by their constituents when they
| report their experiences. 1t will not
all be found in the printed minutes.
