of high bred trotting horses he has
there. To horsesmen they are inter-

aware of what horses there are right
here.

Big Cas- to be Re.argu. d.

It will be some time yet before the
verdict of the More Jonas Glass Com.
pany against the West Jersey and Sea.
shore Railroad Company, growing out
of the burning of the glass factory,
nearly year ago, will be finally de-.
termined by the Courts.
After the glass company secured the
verdict, the attorneys for the railroad
company made an application before
the Supreme Court for a new trial,
and the case was argued last winter.
The matter was heard by Chief JUS
tice Gummere, Justice Hendriokson
and the late Justice Collins.
The other day Chief Justice Gum
mere notified all the counsel in the
case that the matter would have to be
re-argued as a case of so much i'm
portance should be passed upon by all
three Justices. and the death of
Justice Collins occurred before a de.
cision had been reached.
This will delay the final outcome of
the matter for some time.

AN ITALIAN
MURDER AT WOODBINE.

A murder occurred at Woodbine
in the Italian colony OF railroad
workers, one Italian shooting another
through the heart and then making
his escape.
There were five Italians putting up
together in shanty; two of them
went out early in the evening to get
some grub" leaving the other three
in the shanty.
Two of these, Loverria OolIoighi
and Guiseppi Molinari, became in
volved in a quarrel; they became so
heated that they went outside to fin
ish it up.
Dominica Morelto, one of the two
who had gone after food, returning,
heard such an alteration between the
two men that he was afraid to 90 near
them and left.
Things got quiet after awhile and,
both the others having come back, the
three OF them took look for their
two quarreling companions. After
searching some time they found the
dead body of Colloighi back of the
railroad tool house, with bullet
wound through the heart. MoIinari
had made his escape.
The alarm of the murder was spread
and Mayor Payne. OF MillvilIe, was
teIephoned to,
Officers and citizens were at once
dispatched to the scene, and GORDON
was stretched about the place and all
avenues of escape we're watched.
Between IL and o'clock this morn.
ing an Italian was captured who was
thought to be Molinari, but he proved
to be the special messenger at Belle
Plain and was released.
Some time before daylight the
watchman at Wheaton's glass works
saw strange Italian..going past the
works, but he then knew nothing
about the murder. Officers were sent
to look up this. suspect.
The coroner at Cape May was teIe.
phoned for but oouIdeno be reached
this morning and the body of Oolloighi
was still left where it was discovered.
1t is more than likely that the mrr.
derer will soon be spprehended.
All of these Italians are from Gala
bria, Italy, and are described by the
other railroad men as being very
quarrelsome and bad lot; the other
Italians generally shun these people
and do not care to associate with
them.

BRIDGETON N j., THURSDAY JUNE a. 1905
THE BOAT SERVICE
is CUT OUT.

President Roosevelt and Congress
may be SO engaged with rate bill prob.
lens and packing house conditions,
that they cannot give any attention to
the Ooflansey river. The people here
are interested in these problems, too
but they have very decided interest
in the present condition of the water
way leading from thisy city to the
Delaware Bay.
The Philadelphia and Bridgeton
transportation Company yesterday
made an announcement that was ex.
tremeiy disappointing to the commuu.
ity. The company said to the people
OF Bridgeton that after Friday of this
week it would be obliged to discon.
tinue its service by steamer between
Philadelphia and Bridgeton. The sole
reason for the withdrawal OF the boats
was the fact that the Cohansey river
is practically unnavigabIe. The
steamers cannot begin to make sched.
ule time, being constantly held up
along the river so that the service can.
not in anywise be depended upon.
The boats arrive late causing disap.
pointment to shippers, and the man
agement of the company have given
up in sheer disgust.
The Transportation Company a year
ago established the steamer Sylvan
Dell' between this city and Philadel-
phia, and was most successful in the
business. This year the line was
again started ard beginning with the
first of May two boats were pressed
into service, an attempt being made to
give daily service. the volume of
business was good, the people finding
very great convenience in the boats,
and in many cases it was a great say.
ing to shippers to have their freight
taken by water.
The withdrawal OF the boats is a
distinct loss to Bridgeton, and the
railroads, with their comparative
rates, are once more without any op.
position. Their gain is the loss to the
public.
Bridgeton people should be awak-
ened to the Importance Of having the
government do something to make the
Cohansey river navigabIe. The water.
way has been too long neglected, and
there should be a concerted movement
looking to dredging and re.opening
Of the channel.
