GREAT FIRE RACES At
EXPOSITION IN MILAN
Many Art Treasures and Valu-
able Documents Burned;
Loss Reaches Millions.

MILAN, Italy, Aug. 3,-Fire which
broke out here this morning in the in
ternational exposition, did extensive
damage. The sections devoted to the
decorative arts Of Italy and Hungary
were totally destroyed as also was the
pavilion in which were installed the
exhibits Of Italian and Hungarian
architecture.
Tie fire was discovered at 5 clock
this morning in the Hungarian esction
and spread rapidly TO the art sections
situated in an adjoining park, For
time the British, Swiss, japanese and
Netherlands sections were threatened,
but by energetic work the fremcn sue
cecded in saving them. The jewclry
and fine arts sections also were threat
ened, but a large force of carbineers
carried the pictures, many OF them Of
almost priceless value, from the gallery
of fine arts, into the corridors of sec
tions beyond the fire zone.
At noon the fire was considered TO be
under control

Short Circuit the Cause.

The origin of the fire is attributed
to an electric short circuit. The au-
thorities reject the theory that the con-
fagration was of incendiary origin.
The scene of the conhagration was
the center of the most active portion
of the exposition. The palace of Deco
rative Arts is a mass of ruins. The
Architectural pavilion, which was also
destroyed, contained many exhibits of
historic value, including the original
model of the dome of the cathedral of
Milan, many original documents refer
ring to Nilan's famous scientist, Volta,
relating to Yoltaic electricity and nu-
merous documents referring to Ma
poleon I.
Although the fine arts pavilion was
saved, many fine paintings were dam
aged, being splashed by mud and water,
while the fremen were hastily carrying
them to places of safety.
Owing to the value of some of the
exhibits destroyed, the loss is now esti-
mated at S2,000,00O to S3,o00,000.

May Be On The Market.

The fearful crash and failure of the
Real Estate Trust Company, of Phila-
delphia, may mean something to
Bridgeton.
The investigation shows that one of
the men who is heavily involved, is
Adolph Segal the reputed owner of
the Cumberland Nail and Iron Com
pany plant here. 1t is claimed that
he is a narrower from the trust of
S. 300 900, with assets far too small to
cover his paper. 1t is understood that
Segal has something like $75, 1000 in
the iron works property here, and has
been holding the plant for specula
tion. If these facts should be borne
out, it is quite likely that the affairs
of Segal may be wound up, and the
property here might come in the
market and be of some future
value to Bridgeton.

Changes In Bridgeton Bank,

Oscar E. Anderson, who for years
has been connected with the Bridge
ton National Bank, and for several
years its receiving teller, has re.
signed his position with that institu-
tion, and will in the future devote his
entire time to the business of the
Martin Anderson Company, OF which
he is President Mr.. Anderson was a
most efficient man in the service of
the bank, and had worked himself up
from minor position which he had
taken years ago.
Mr.. Frank Hoagland, who has been
bookeeper for number of years in
the Bridgeton National Bank, will as.
sumo the position of receiving teller,
in place of Mr.. Anderson, and Charles
Scull will fill the place made vacant
by Mr.. Hoagland. Mr.. SculI has for
some time been employed as an exam
liner in the State Banking and Insur.
ance Department, and has made q
very good reputation in that capacity.
He has had considerable previous ex.
perience with the Bridgeton Bank,
having filled several temporary places

Labor Day Sunday At West
Church.

September 2nd will be know in the
Presbyterian churches as Labor Day.
Sunday. For three years the Presby-
terian church has been making special
systematic effort toward clearing up
certain misunderstanding that has
long existed between the church and
the workingman. Very many practical
results have been secured, mainly
through the agency of what is known
as the Presbyterian Department of
Church and Labor Hundreds of
churches on next Sabbath will appro-
priately observe the day. Rev. Joseph
Lyons Ewing of the West church ex-
poets to preach special sermon on
1.-THE Church and the Workingman, :"
or, 1.-THE Labor Problem and how to
Solve It." next Sabbath morning.
Organizations of workingmen of the
city and individuals, not worshiping
regularly elsewhere, are most cordially
invited to attended the service.

Silk Waist Factory's Greater
CAPACITY.

William E. Rice has installed 65
new Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma
chimes in the Broad street silk waist
factory. s1
There is now room for many more
operators than has ever been employed
in this factory.
Mr.. Rice states that they are in
need of many more operators, as the
prospect is bright for a big season s
work ahead.
Operators are assured of 10 months
constant and steady work during the
year. They usually shut down the
last of June, giving the operators two
months vacation during July and
August.
The wages paid are fairly remuner.
ative and thousands of dollars are paid
out in wages during the ten months
the machines are in operation.
The work is now largely silk shirt
waist manufacturing. and the styles
change so rapidly that all the work
has to be done under the trained eye
and the skillful hand, making it i'm
possible to send work out-around
town and in the nearby country. as
used to be the practice years ago.
Mr.. Rice has been 26 years in the
shirt and shirt waist manufacturing
business, and gives his inspection to
all branches of the work, watching
every stage of is progress. Perhaps
there is no more skilled workman in
shirt manufacturing. the country over
than Mr.. Rice.

Tomato Buyers Here.

Fred B. Wheeler, tomato buyer OF
the Port Stanwix Canning Co., OF
Glassboro. arrived again Monday and is
buying up the red ripes. Monday he
was paying IA cents basket.
Mr.. Folker, the Camden buyer who
was here last Fall and bought toma-
toes, loading barges on the South side
of Broad street bridge, was here Sat.
urday, looking over the field. He ex-
pected to have some barges here to-
day. He was trying to engage toma.
toes for them, offering IA cents a
basket. This will be the beginning
price doubtless, how long it will re-
main at that figure nobody knows.
There is an immense acreage and i'm
mense crops of tomatoes reported in
Delaware and Maryland, where it is
said they are being bought up at 20
cents a bushel. If this is true the
Baltimore demand is not likely to be
so great this year at this place as it
was last year. Mr., Folker began buy
ing here last year August 2sth.
The canning factories here are
getting big supplies of tomatoes now
and people seem to be satisfied with
the price they are paying, $S per ton.

on Saturday, but left with what she

TEST WELLS AT
THE WATER WORKS.

Potter q Redpsth have practically
finished the test wells at the Water
Department. These wells were driven
in the meadow along the line of the
canal, or basin. Each we'll is sunk so
feet deep, and the sand, mud or gravel
which came from is was carefully .ex.
amlned and samples taken from each
stratum, put in glass jars, and sent to
the expert engineers who will arrive
at some estimate of the water bearing
possibilities of the section.
The test which is to be made of the
wells already bored there, has not vet
been made.
Ihe wells sunk by Potter & Red
path have an iron pipe of about inch
diameter down them, and within this
were inserted fine brass screens, just
Hitting inside the pipe. In two of the
wells the screens are 20 feet in length
and in the other one it is 28 feet. The
mesh of the. screen is almost. or quite
as. fine as that of cheese cloth SO as to
perfectly screen the water, keeping
out sand, mud and Impurities.
These screens were put in in two
sections, about as large and almost as
long as round fence rail each. One
section was hoisted up on derrick
and let down in the pipe, when it was
clutched on the level and then the
other section wassscrewed into it and
then let down further, to the depth
required.
TheEdepartment will not make any
test of the production of water or the
supply until the contractors are done
with their part Of the work, which
will certainly be by the close of this
week.
can then be told what will likely
be the result of efforts to obtain water
in this way. No estimate can yet be
given as to the quantity these wells
will furnish. nor the number of wells
which will be required or at what
depth. to furnish water under this
system, ssfor the city.
Much more will be known on the
subject after the engineer makes his
repo-t to City Council which may be

Horner Not a Candidate.

Mount Holly, Aug. 2S.-The politi-
cal situation in this county has been
simplified by Senator John G. Hor-
ner's announcement in a public letter
that he is not candidate for renom-
ination as State Senator after serving
six years in the Legislature.
This leaves Speaker Samuel K. Rob-
bins, of Moorestown, practically with
no opposition, as it is not believed
that Assemblyman Benjamin D. Shed.
aker, of Edgewater Park, can COM
mand sufficient strength to warrant
him or his friends to believe that he
might be winner.
The two senatorial candidates will
probably be Robbins and Wildes, the
latter the candidate of the Lincoln
Republican League.

Planning New Park Entrance.


City Surveyor Walter NJ. Sharp is
engaged on the plan for the Commerce
Street Parkway entrance. It was sur.
veyed and partially staked out yester
day.
The scheme is to be-a grass plot on
the west side. next to Ivy Hall, then
pathway, then comes curbing or cop.
ing then the main roadway, and then
another pathway followed by another
grass plot, running along the east side
of the entrance.
The lane or roadway which leads to
the mill cannot be closed; this road
way will remain open as it is most
likely, running alongside of the Shep-
pard building.
There will be considerable beautify.
ing and leveling 80 make the entrance
attractive.

Shipping Tomatoes to Baltimore

The steamboat Admiral, of Penns-
grove, arrived about o'clock Sat
urday for load of tomatoes to go
to Baltimore. Minch Bros. are the
buyers for VIM. Numson & 90. Balti-
more, and expect to load the boat to-
day. The admiral has been carrying
tomatoes from points in Maryland and
Baltimore, at a place she unloaded
last Monday there were seven vessel
loads unloaded before 10 O'CLOCK.
The buyers were paying 30 C bus
hel for them when they loaded in
Maryland. They buy by the bushel
there instead of by the basket as here.
There will be three barges in here
Monday after tomatoes for other buy
ers, which looks like beginning,
again Of the scenes of last fall in the
tomato market. 1t is not likely there
will be much competition in selling
prices as there was last fall.

CONCERNING THE

not call the special session Of the Leg
islature scheduled for September to
consider the publication of the Pas.
saio river until the Mayors OF Newark
and Paterson got together and outlined
what they intended to have the Iegis.
lators do.
The Governor does not believe in
special sessions of the Legislature, in
that they put the State to great ex-
pense. When special sessions must be
held, the Governor believes in know
ing precisely what is to be done,
economizing On expense.
1t was also intimated that there will
be no playing to the galleries in the
coming special session, if the special
session is to be held. ALI Legislators
will be pledged to attend to nothing
but the business for which the special
session Is to be called.
With bitter contest on between the
regulars and the Colby. Record men,
intensified by the disclosure of last
week in the riparian investigation, it
is thought well not to allow either
side to gather any political advantage
through use of forensic force or trad.
ing in the special session.
Governor Stokes declared plainly to.
day that he was absolutely tired at
slowness of Hudson and Passaic coun.
ties in not sending in nominations for
places on the County Boards of Equal
ization of Taxes.

considerable and she daily trips on the

attract students from all over the

ayers of the school promise that it will
be one of the very best.

EMMETT BACK
IN THE JAIL.

ho"ls Emmet6 was given hearing
Thursday afternoon by Mayor Fithian
on the charge of breaking, entering
and robbing the office of Ogden &
Platts' marble works, on the night of
August 18th.
Herbert Lake was also given a
hearing as being an accomplice with
Emmett, but the evidence against
Lake was so slight that he was held
IN only nominal bail for Court.
Emmett would not know ANYTHING
about the robbery his plea being, of
course, not guilty.
John Ogden, of Ogden & PIatts was
the first witness he told of discover
ing the office had been entered, and
the safe looted, giving it in short de-.
tail, as has been already told in the
Pioneer, on the day following the
robbery.
Dan Clements was called and said
that Emmett, Mrs. Chris. Edwards,
man named Mattox and another
named Smith came to his house that
night. Emmett and Mrs. Edwards
came first. Emmett bringing two cases
of beer. Emmett went out and
brought in Mattox and Smith. Mrs.
Edwards resides next door to Clements
who resides at 16 South East avenue.
Sophy Baily, his housekeeper was
also present. Emmett showed some
money, while they we're all drinking
beer, said he got it in registered
letter from his girl. He also had
some papers, which he put in the
stove, lighted a match and burned
them up. Clements said he cautioned
him about showing his money, some
body might rob him.
Chris. Edwards came in later. and
Clements advised Emmett to give the
money to Edwards for safe keeping,
which he finally did.
Mrs. Eva Edwards testified to pretty
much the same things about the
money. She said she met Emmett on
Pearl street, got in the coupe with
him he had the two cases of beer and
she rode to her house with him and
then went in to Dan Clements.
Chris. EDWARDS, said he got to
Clements after II O'Clock, when done
selling ice cream.
Emmett gave him the money for
safe keeping, saying it came from his
girl by mail.
Clifford Bard told of meeting En-.
NETT and Herbert Lake at Gum mberland
Bank corner. They didn't want him
with them and he left them.
Mrs. Lake, Sophy Bailey and Mich.
ael Felois gave in tieir evidence, and
Emmett was committed to jail.
Herbert Lakes hearing was very
short. There does not seem any evil
dence to commit him and he was held
nominally for Court.
Following this hearing came that
of Charles Borden accused of fraud
by obtaining money by false pretense.
Mrs. T. B. Woodruff, Mrs. Valdemar
Edwards, Joseph Miller, Adolph Ed
ward and christopher Laich told how
he bad obtained money from each of
them in sums ranging from 15cts. to
$3.50.
He was held in 5000 bail and locked
up for Court, not getting the bail.

DIED FROM
ANTHRAX POISON.

John Bilderback, who had charge of
the harness shop Of l.. B. Dare, on
Cohansey street, and resided on East
Commerce street, died Saturday
from anthrax blood poisoning. 1t is
supposed the infection was caught
from mending old harness which was
infected with the germs of anthrax.
A week ago last Thursday night Mr..
Bilderback said to his family and
some friends who were present. in
joking manner that he intended tax.
ing day off the next day, and he
supposed everybody would say he
staid away from the shop to go to the
Pawnee Bill show. The fact was, he
said, he had little pimple on his
forefinger of the right hand, which
was giving him so much pain he
couldn't work.
On the Sunday following it had as.
sumed sunh painful virulence that DR..
Stites was called in. The physician
said he found little pustule on the
finger indicating blood poisoning, and
that pleurisy had developed from it to
the right lung. In a day or two more
both lungs were involved, septic blood
poisoning extending from the pustule
Oh. the finger. The arm was swelIed
two or three times its natural size,
and the patient suffered terribly.
The physician is Of the undoubted
opinion that 1t was the septic blood
poisoning of anthrax.
The lungs rapidly filled up and Mr..
Bilderback died Saturday about four
O'Clock.
Mr.. Bilderback was a very estm-
able man, an elder in the Fourth
Presbyterian Church, and his wife is
an estimable lady.
