SUNDAY FIBE
DAMAGES DONE.

1t was about g. 80 o'clock Monday
morning when an alarm of fire was
sounded from box No. "a, at the cor.
ner of Commerce and Atlantic streets.
1t was but three minutes after that
when the fire apparatus was dashing
across Commerce street bridge, and
the firemen were giving their atten,
tlon to save the residence property of
Charles H Boone, the tinsmitb, No.
43 Atlantic street.
1t was not a roaring fire, flames
were not shooting from the,building,
but it was disagreeable blaze where
fire axes and fire hooks were necessar
lily called in play to destroy good part
Of the house in order to get at the
flames.
- The fire was creeping all about the
building between the weatherboards
and walls, up over the ceilings and
under the roof, feeding upon the lath
and studding, and making headway
that would shortly afterward have
swept the entire structure with flames
had it not been for the. .tiremen.
Chief Kirkle had plug stream
quickly in action, but there was not
much water required. The line of
hose from the chemical engine was
most effective, and it could be used
without damaging the furniture of
the rooms.
: The flames carried themselves from
one side of the house to the other be.
tween walls, and the fire axes did
much damage to the building in open
ing up the flames to the firemen.
There was vast quantity of smoke
which damaged the furnishings. The
damage will be several hundred dol.
lars.
The trouble was caused by some de, /,
feet in the heating arrangement In
bed room was drum cylinder for
heating purposes, pipe running to it
from stove in room on the first
floor. In some way the fire started
from this arrangement. Mr.. Boone,
himself practical man, had been
careful in arranging the scheme, and
the pipe from the stove was protected
by asbestos.
A big crowd of people gathered on
Atlantic street and watched the work
of the tiremen.

somebody for $40 crates deducting the
payment of $50, which we have al
ready made "
At the conclusion of argument the
Corrt said: 81 think the plaintiff
should recover; think he should re
cover for the original amount 78a
crates. Judgment, will be entered
therefore. -
The next case moved was John
Goppa against Stanton Is. Cole Law
yer Leroy W. Loder TOR plaintiff and
James S. Ware for defendant. This
was a suit to recover wages claimed
to be due Gopps.
Oscar Goppa. 16-year-oId son OF
John Goppa, had been hired by Mr.
Cole to work on his nursery farm
his pay was to be SIS per n.onth; he
hired for the season; the boy worked
on the farm occHpied by Harry Hess
The boy got tired and left in June.

Business Greatly Increased.

The business of the Bridgeton Post
Office is constantly increasing, and
this year will show greater income
than ever before. During the past
five months the business of the office
has increased more than $1,000 over the
corresponding period last year. With
a comparative increase in the business
this month the aggregate for the year
will be very fiattering.
December with its special holiday
business is always the biggest month
in the local post office, but last month
eclipsed any December in the history
of the business of the local office. 1t
is confidently expected that this
month will be the biggest the post
office has ever known.
The post Office of city gives a
pretty accurate idea of the business of
the community, and the increased
volume is another indication of the
prosperity Of the town.

HUNT BROTHERS
IN ARGUMENT
WAS DISORDERLY.

Calvln Morgan, of Spruce street,
was arrested Friday and given
hearing before Mayor Flthian, on
complaint of DR.. Sites, the Health
officer, who charged him with disor-
derly conduct.
Dr. Stites made the charge as an
individual and not as public officer.
The complaint charged Mr.. Morgan
with cursing and threatening the
doctor.
Mr. Morgan did not deny the charge
and was fined 81 and costs-S2. 80 in
all. The affair grew out of dipn-
liberia case. Mr.. Morgan's child ha
the dlphtheria and was kept ont of
school nine weeks. Mr.. Morgan
wanted his house fumigated and GER
tificate for his child to go to school.
Not getting these matters to his sat-
isfaction he met DR.. Sites last We'd
nesday when the set-to occurred.
1t was case of misapprehensi
which resulted in the outbreak. Mr..
Morgan in vindication stated the cause
of his aggravation in having his child
Kept out of school
DIR. Stites, in vindication of himself
stated TO the Mayor-and the Mayor
thought it ought to be in print-that
there Is an epidemic of diphtheria in
town that has become widespread and
alarming; that there had been in use
formaldehyde disinfeotant; this had
been found to be Ineffective and bi
| chic mercury was ordered by the State
Board of Health. He was now using
The greatest precautions to prevent
the spread of the epidemic, and was
endeavoring to explain to Mr.. Morgan
Its use and how to go about cleaning
mp his premises when Mr.. Morgan
fiareG up. He said he was no scrub
woman 60 scrub up the floors of 'peo
lie, wash their bedsteads, dust their
furniture and boil their bed linen
This work must be done, however,
and he gave Mr.. Morgan notice that
his children would not be given a
certificate to go to school until this
cleaning up and umigation is done.

PENSIONERS OF
REVOLUTIONARY WAR.

The Philadelphia Bulletin Monday
said:
"Pennsylvania has the distinction
OF being the home of pensioner of
the Revolution, despite the statements
that the last of them. Mrs. E ther S

butt, OF Little Marsh, Pa who is So

one of three pensioners the last on

also daughters of veterans, are Rhoda
Augusta Thompson, of Woodbury.,

Tallette, N Y. both S5 years old
Mrs. HuTlbutt is daughter of
Elijah Weeks who served in Captain
Joseph Smiths company of Colonel
Thomas Marshall's reg ment of Mass

health for a woman of her advanced
years and the Pension Office officials
are anxious tnat her un que place as
one of the three final pensioners of the

"There are now 660 pensioned

survivors and 367 widows remain on
the pension rolls There are 984
pensioned survivors of the war with
Mexico and Z, 488 pensioned widows :"
It is known to but very few people
in Bridgeton thatsthere are two ladies
here, daughters of Revolutionary
soldier In fact it is not likely that
there are a half dozen persons who
had any idea that such was the case.
The late Josiah Ray was soldier
in the Revolutionary war. entering
the army at an late date in the con
flict. He was married late in life,
and two daughters now survive him,
Miss Henrietta Ray and Mrs. Maria
q. Elmer. They live where they have
for many years No 81 North Laurel
street. Mrs Elmer is the widow of
the late Edward r Elmer. Both
ladies are very reticent in saying any
thing of the distinction they bear and
neither have ever permitted the Gov
ernment to learn that they are daugh
ters of Revolutionary soldier and
thus entitled to be placed upon the
honor roll of the country.

Had Great Thanksgiving.

Washington, Nov 80. A veritable
epic in figures, triumphant song in
statistics. is the report of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture, which tells the
story of the American farmer mar
velous store of riches wen from the
soil in the year just ended, reaching
the astounding total of $6. 794. 900 900.
This exceeds the record breaking
product of last year by 1924, 900, 600.
The value of the farm products of
the nation during Il g last twelve
months would duIl cate the entire
railroad system of the United States,
rail for rail, tie for tie. car for car.
The American farm products of 1905
and 1906 would pay for every railroad
in tie world, including the entire
equipment.
Whatever else may be the cause of
the movement from the country TO the
cities. it isn't the uproductiyeness of
the farms nor the unprofitableness of
farming. Probably among no other
class of citizens has there been such
an advance in the material comforts
and the general prosperity as among
the farmers.
The total value of the farm prop
critics of tile United States is estim-
ated by Secretary Wilson's department.
at 1913 900 600, 600. This is an increase
of $4,000, 900, 900 since 1900. 1t is
more than twice the capitalization of
all the railroads of the United States,
and four and half times their real
value The earnings of the farmer for
the year amounted to nearly three
times the net earnings of all the rail
roads.

MIX-UP ABOUT
THE FREEHOLDERS.

The following dispatch last week
was sent out from Trenton:
At the instance of State Commits
sioner of Public Roads Elijah q.
Hutchinson. Attorney General Nc
Garter yesterday rendered au opinion
that the fiscal year of Boards of Fres.
holders shall begin Jan. of each
year, and whenever duly organized
they shall have power to make appro
priations. The matter is one over
which there bas been considerable
controversy and various constructions
have been put upon the law regulating
the county boards, especially with re
gard to the beginning of the fiscal
year.
Mr. McCarter, in his letter, says
AS L understand the law. the fiscal
year of the Board of Chosen Freehold
ers commences Jan. 1 of each year.
am of the opinion that under the law
the Board of Freeholders, when or i.
ganlzed. are entitled to make appro-
priations for lawful county purposes,
either at their annual stated meeting
or at any other meeting duly held and
called for the purpose, in accordance
with the provisions of election of the
| act from which you quoted in your
letter.
The dispatch is interesting to Gum
berlapd county as we'll as to other
/ counties. Under the old laws the
Boards of Freeholders began it's fiscal
year on the first of May, and at pres.
ent the conditions are the same as
they have been. But if the law makes
the fiscal year begin on January first,
Gum berland county will be obliged to
observe the law
The statutes relative to Boards of
Freeholders are many and in many in
stances, conflicting.
County Solicitor Roscoe @. Ward
has taken up the matter for the pur-
pose OF getting the situation plain so
as to advise the Board and he will en-
deavor to get from the Attorney Gen
eral copy of mis- entire opinion.
IT the fiscal year ends on the 31st of
December, the county officials will
have to at ones take mp the matter so
that appropriations may be made at
the January meeting, and provisions
made for the expenditures. The ques
tion is now also raised as to whether
or not the stated or annual meeting
shall be held on the first day of Janu.
