SUDDEN DEATH OF
MRS. ELLEN McGEAR.

Mrs. Ellen M'Gear, widow Of the
late Charles P. M'Gear, died suddenl,
Sunday shortly after the noon hour.
In her ususl health Mrs. McGear yes-
morning attended the services at the
First Presbyterian church, aud at the
conclusion Of the seavice started to
return to her home. When directly
opposite the residence of Robert M.
seeley, on Pearl street, but a little
way from her home she was severely
attacked with trouble with her head,
and was obliged to grasp the fence for
support. She attempted to continue
her way. but was unable to do 80, and
was assisted to the porch Of Rev. I'll.
II. Beadle, where she was seated in a
porch chair. A glass of water seemed
to revive her somewhat. and she ex-
pressed a desire to be taken on home.
She was assisted again to the street,
where she was again overcome, and a
chair was hurriedly secured, and she
was carried into her own residence.
Her serious condition was apparent to
those with her, and DR.. Sterling was
hastily summoned.
Upon reaching the McGear residence
the lady was placed upon a couch.
She was plainly suffering greatly. AS
she was assisted to lie on the couch
she asked for her head to be raised a
little more, and then suddenly ex-
pired. She had been subject to serious
attacks of acute indigestion and
trouble with her head. Heart trouble
caused her death.
Mrs. McGear was lady particularly
we'll known in this city, and had
many warm friends. Since the death
of her husband in 1896 in the awful
| wreck of the railroad trains at Atlantic
City, she has lived in retirement,
much of the time alone. She has nc
children.
The funeral services occur on Wed
nesday afternoon.

HUNT BROS.
Declines Appointment.

Mrs. @. Henry Seeley, of North
Pearl street, has announced to Gov
ernor Stokes that she is unable to &C.
cept position as trustee of the State
Teachers Retirement Fund. The ap-
pointment was made last week by
Governor Stokes. He made the ap-
pointment without comforting with
Mrs. Seeley. There had been made to
him from all parts Of the state de.
mand for Mrs. Seeley's appointment.
and he was only too glad to comply
with the request. Mrs. Seeley has
taken great interest in the retire
ment fund, and has done much to have
the law enacted and the state inter.
ested in the proposition. Mrs. Seeley's
reasons for declining to accept the ap-
pointment are purely personal, and
she greatly regrets that she cannot
take up the work as a trustee.

TRAIN SERVICE
TO CAMDEN

Beginning on Monday, Bridgeton
now has seven trains in and out con-
Meeting us with Camden. OF the four.
teen trains, but four of them are
through trains, and the through trains
are by no means the fastest.
In order to 60 through to Bridgeton
ana Camden or vice versa, upon ten of
the trains scheduled on the Bridgetou
branch, the passengers must change at
Glassboro. This is not going to be
any special pleasure. The tracks of
the Bridgeton branch at Glassboro are
some distance from the Atlantic City
tracks, and thus far there is absolutely
no protection at the Glassboro juno.
tlon for the protection of passengers.
In rainsor very cold weather it will
be exceedingly disagreeable to make
this change from one train to another,
and it is not convenient for anyone to
have to. haul out luggage and carry it
the long distance between tracks in
making the necessary charge.
There is considerable criticism al
ready heard concerning the scheme,
and there will be more when the peo-
plelhave experienced "a little of the
discomfort.
At Glassboro, IL all of the trains are
making smooth schedule time, there
willyha q wait of from four to eovor
minutes to make connections.
1t may be interesting to note the
trains that will be operated on the
Bridgetonsbranch. Those from Cam,

John Whitaker, of Millville nomi-
mated James..K. Headley, of Millville,
for Coroner, and he was named for the
position.
W. R. Shaw and John Whitaker
were appointed a committee to bring
the candidates before the Convention.
Loder and Headley were present, DR..
Howell wasn't in town.
Mr.. Loder made very neat speech,
and Mr.. Headley explained that while
he had been charged with not being
a good Democrat he wanted to say
that he had voted for 40 years, and
had never voted any but Democratic
ballot.
Chairman Craig announced that DR.,
Howell would accept the nomination,
was anxious for it and would make a
desperate effort to be elected.
A little symposium followed, the
question for debate being how to prop.

tions. 1t was explained that the
Bridgeton Patriot was the only Demo
orat paper in the county. Mr.. Geo.
Bates thought the advertisements of
the Convention should be published in
the daily papers and paid for. Capt.
Campbell, who was the Democratic
candidate or Sheriff last fall, did not
agree with this proposition. He said
he spent $24 last fall advertising in
the daily papers andIintimated that he
Thought the money! was not we'll
spent. He thought if the Democrats
wanted to spend money it should be
kept within the party.
Then delegate Tiee. of MillvilIe,
made another speech. and he covered

other things he said John Cheesman

county and sometimes l doubt that"
He did not particularize.

FIRE PROBABLY
INCENDIARY ORIGIN,

Fire broke out Saturday night in
the large barn of Charles Fralinger,
on the old William ElwelI farm at the
turn of the road in Dutch Neck where
it turns to go down to the Dutch Neck
school house.
The barn was stored full of oats and
hay and all was consumed.
Two horses and three year old colt
were burned to death and Mr.. Fralin-
ger who was helping get the horses
out, was considerably burned.
The barn was double barn of con-
siderable size one was for the horses,
in which there were five head, and
the other was COW barn.
Whether the fire was of inoendiary
origin or not cannot yet be discerned.
Mr.. FTalinger had done up his night
work about half-past five O'Clock, do
ing it himself, as he had no hired
man.
During the evening the dogs kept
barking and making fuss SO much so
that he thought there must BIZ some
body about and went out twice dur.
ing the evening to see If he could see
anybody around. Seeing and hearing
no one, about half past nine he locked
up the barn and went in the house
nd retired
About 10 O'Clock Carl Davis and his
wife, who live just below Mr.. Fra
linger's were on their way home from
town. They saw the barn was on fire
and aroused Mr.. Fralinger and to-
getner they went to getting the horses
out of the barn. Three horses were
got out. but the last one-rushed back
into the flames and was burned to
death, together with another horse
and 3.year .old colt which were not
gotten out. The two horses which
were gotten out had their names and
ears burned and one had it's eyes
burned out
The rsot of the wagon house was
fired but the neigbhors had arrived
and a bucket brigade with ladders,
put it out and saved this building.
There is no known solution of the
origin of the fire. Had the barn been
full of wheat it might have been spon.
taneous combustion was the cause.
The barn at the same place was
burned about 80 years ago; it was then
set on fire by German farm hand
who was sent TO State Prison for the
crime. There was an insurance of
$500 on the barn which expired on the
15th-Monday-but this will not half
cover the loss as Mr.. Fralinger's
horses we're valuable. he having been
offered $3.50 for one of those burned
not ten days ago and refusedTit.
The feeling seems to be that the fire
was of incendiary origin, but there
does not seem to be much cause for this
feeling as Mr.. Fralinger does not
know a person in the world who has
an evil feeling toward him.

Mails Twisted.

Owing to the new railroad schedule
and the changing of trains at Glass
boro. mails and express matter are
badly mixed up at present. The post
office officials get mails when they ar
rive. But few of the electric trains
have mail or baggage cars attached,
hence the present mixup with the
mails in this city. 1t will probably be
Strengthened out after awhile.

Synod Condemns Fairs.

Asbury Park, Oct 16. The Presby-
terian synod of New Jersey put in a
lively day, caused by the Introduction
of several resolutions, one of which
wanted to do away with church fairs,
bazaars and entertainments. These,
it was claimed, were unscriptural. 1t
was contended that it was all right
for big churches, but not practicable
in the small, weak ones. The resolu-
tion was lost by a narrow margin.
Another resolution called for an en-
g day of the week of prayer to be
devoted to praying for the abolition
of society's drinking customs and the
liquor traffic. An amendment to only
place special emphasis on the matter
was lost and the original resolution
carried.
The action of those interested in
securing license for Asbury Park was
condemned in strong resolutions.
The Rev. Henry Collin Minton, D.
D., pastor OF First Church, Trenton,
as member of committee named to
fight opposition to the bishops bill in
the legislature. James Sheen of

LODER AND HOWELL
FOR ASSEMBLY,

The Democratic County Convention,
teld at the Court House Friday
afternoon, made up in spirit and in.
terest what it lacked in numbers.
Including delegates, newspaper men
and spectators there were twenty-six
men in the Court House when temper
airy chairman James Craig, of Vine
land, called the Convention to order
after the noon recess. Several of the
wards and townships were not repre-. i.
sented at all.
The temporary organization of the
morning was made the permanent or.
ganization, and the Credential Com
mlttee reported no contests.
The rules of the last Convention
were adopted as the rules for this
Convention.
Samuel Iredell read the resolutions
with dramatic effect. The platform
reaffirmed the principles of the last
National platform, as was that of the
last State and Congressional Conven
tion, gand endorsed the nomination of
the latter. The platform condemned
the tiagrant effort to cut down the tax
rate Of individuals by raising valua
tlons for the purpose of Tightening the
burdens of taxation of the railroad.
The platform demanded a constitu
tionaI convention; it demanded a new
constitution " ich would provide for
the election by the votes of the people
the Attorney General, the Secretary
of State, CLERK OF the Supreme and
Chancery Courts, State Treasurer and
Comptroller, and the United States
Senators. Elective judges were also
demanded in the platform. The reso.
Iutions appealed for Assembly Dis
tricts. the enactment of a stringent
corrupt practises act, andsequal taxa.
tion. 1t demanded that it should be
misdemeanor for a corporation tc
make political contributions and
wants all contributions for political
purposes made public. 1t also de
nounced voting machines.
There was some trouble in filling the
Executive Committee by reason oi
several precincts not being repre-
sented. During the selection of the
COMMITTEE there was little genuine
interest stirred up by reason of 6
| strong protest by delegate Tice, o1
Millville, against the naming of Mar
tin W. Lane, for member of the
| committee. Mr.. Tice charged that
| both Mr.. Lane and Mr.. James r.
| HeadIey, who was sponsor for him,
were not good Democrats, and had
sacrificed their party by accepting
offices given them by Republicans
Mr.. Tice explained to the Convention
that he had left the Republican party
10 years ago, and was simon pure
Democrat now and he had no use fol
milk and water Democrats. Mr.. Tice
lost his fight, however.
The committee was made up as fol

At the corner of Zaragossa and

is located, the fireman lost his bal

falling on the plug. but in endeavOr-
ing to save himself from falling on
this he evidently threw himself under

his stomach, and while no bones are
broken. it is feared that he has been
Internally injured.
He was quickly removed from the
street and a physician summoned. All
the relief possible was given him, but
he suffered greatly. and it is thought
that the injury may prove more Sc
rious than at first thought.

COMMISSIONERS

Judge Carter Decides that They
Must Pay Salaries Of
HarbOr Police.
CASE WAS A TEST ONE, AND NOW

ED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

Judge Carter yesterday rendered
an important decision. especially to
Pensacola. 1t was in the case of the
Board Of Pilot Commissioners VS.. the
Board of County Commissioners, and
was to compel the latter to audit and
pay the bills of the former board con-
tracted in employing men to police
and protect the haTbOr The decision
was that the Pilot Commissioners had
authority to employ harbor police anG
that the County Commissioners must
audit and pay the bills as presented.
Some months since, In order to get
the case into the courts, the Pilot
Commissioners employed one harbor
policeman and at the next meeting of
the County Commissioners presented
a bill for his salary and the expense
of a boat This bill was turned down
by the board, the members refusing
TO allow any money for the prOtec-
ton of the harbOr.
It was then taken into the courts
by Blount & Blount, representing the
Pilot Commissioners. with the result
that in future these bills will be paid.
Some years ago two harbOr police
were GuplOySu regular ~ 40 bAAO SeA

were notified Of this action and went
before the board. but the latter had
come to its decision and would not al
low the amount claimed.
Later several attempts we're made
to have the board allow enough
money for the employment Of two
men but in each instance the efforts
failed.
Since the harbOr police were taken
off duty the abuse of the harbOr has
continued, until the Pilot Commits
sloners dectded to take the case to-
the courts and compel the County
Commissioners to pay the bills con-
tracted.

RY Associated Press.

Washington, Mar. 24-Haz,ng at An
napolis naval academy was dealt with
in the house today in the passage of
the senate bill with the house sub
stitute. This action was taken after
a protracted debate which placed in
the record the impression of the spe-
cial committee which investigated the
subject recently and a severe critf-
cism Of efforts to condone hazing by
Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa.
The bill repeats that portion of the
existing law which makes it compul.
sorry to dismiss midshipmen guilty of
hazing in any degree and substitutes
punishment according to the nature of
the offense. Cruel and brutal hazing
may be punished by dismissal.
Previous to the hazing bill consid-
