Glass Men May Form Combine,

Glass Men May Form Combine.
For several years previous to last
season glass manufacturers had com.
bination-an rganizationswhich held
up their interests. During it's exis.
tence several prominent men in the
business did not affiliate, and, Of
course, did not abide by rules of the
order causing some esunpleasantness for
those who were members. They could
make prices to suit themselves, there
being no contract or agreement which
restricted them. This may have been
one reason for the disbandment when
it was.
The manufacturers see that it is
best for them to have an organization
it avoids great deal which they
have to contend with individually.
They have considered the proposition
thoroughly and decided to get back in
old tracks. The movement is praoti-
cally new one, but from good author.
ity the report of it comes. 1t is said
that all the eastern owners will get in.
This action will gmost likely Offset
the present price list of ware and a
new one may soon be in order.
1t issknown that some Bridgatonians
in the business are interested.

Looks for Scarcity of GLASS

Looks for Scarcity of Glass.
Says the Pittsburg "Commoner and
Gtassworker" -
According to reports the demand
throughout the fire OF 1866 has been
active and of a volume sufficientiv
large to absorb the surplus supplies in
ehe hands of distributors, as we'll as
manufacturers, and the stocks heino
carried over are of about the same
volume as those carried over from the
season preceding, says the Oil Paint
and Drug Reporter. The shortage in
the available supply of single strength
glass is becoming more pronounced
and indications point to a decided
scarcity in the near future. when il
is claimed difficulty to obtain stocks

The demand from consumers will
eventually become brisk, owing TO the
light supplies the latter are carving.
In the east trade has been only fair

prices in order to realize on the

SUDDEN DEATH OF
DAVID R. STREETS.

Ihe news of the death of DR.. David
N. streets, which occurred at noon
sunday, comes at great shock, no
less to the community as large than
TO che large circle of friends. Though
IN Feeble health for the last few years
from lingering malady, he had by
the exercise of pure will power SO far
overcome his physical infrmities as to
oe able to the last to attend to his
practice, and death found him at his
post of duty.
He literally wore himself out and
died in his chair in his office He
attended to his work as usual Sun
day morning. returning to his office
at about 1890 am. When he waited
upon a patient shortly afterward he
began to complain of shortness of
breath, which was soon seen to be the
precursor of congestion of the lungs
and death ensued in about one hour
despite all efforts to relieve him by
Drs. Ellsmore Sites and John H
Moore, who were with him until the
end came.
Dr. streets career, both as a phy.
slcian and man, is too we'll known
20 need any extended notice. He came
to Bridgeton in 1872 and attended
school at the South Jersey Institute.
In 1877 he entered the Medicine Dept.
OF the University of Pennsylvania.
from which he graduated in 1880. He
subsequently attended course at the
Hahnaman Medical College and began
practice in Bridgeton in 1881. and had
continuously practiced his profession
from that time until his death. Asa
physician DR.. Streets occupied a high
rank. His patients were devoted to
hlm to an uncommon degree, and his
death comes to them with all the force
OF an irreparable personal loss. DR..
Streets will be sadly missed. and on
none except his family will the loss
fall heavier than upon some of his
professional associates, who through
long years of close intimacy and init
mate professional relations had learned
TO value his Judgment and appreciate
his unselfish life-a life in which self
never entered, and whose only thought
seemed to be for his family and their
best welfare. Wide spread sym.
pathy will go out to his family in
their bereavement.

tILLyILLE is SWEPT BY
AN AWFUL STORM.
MILLvILLE, N. j., July IL

The most terrific combined electric,
rind. rain and hail storm that ever
hassed over this section devastated
his city and surrounding country to-
Law, Reports show that crops in
many place were ruined by the hail.
4 Within thirty minutes after the
torn started, the streets of the city
were covered with hail to the depth
Ii two inches. The hailstones ranged
from the size of marbles to four
inches in circumference.
a Before this attack window panes
$vere battered out. Streets overfowed
and the stones fell with force enough
to send water in the air where they
&struck nearly two feet in height.
81 In places where the wind blew the
Mail and ice accumulated to a depth Of
two feet. On the level the hail fell
10 depth of two inches. The wind
blew trees down in all parts of the
8city.
q Barns and outhouses went down
like bowling pins. Electric light and
Telephone wires were blown down
across the streets, impeding traffic of
Hall kinds. The lightning struck in
many places in the city, but no one,
ESQ far as can be learned, was injured
#any more than being stunned.
Trinity Methodist Church was struck
and one chimney demolished. A stack
lat the Glasstown works of the Whitall,
Tatum Company was knocked over
land large number of carboys de-
*stroyed.
The Weatherby House roof was
struck and portion of it wrenched
loft. The rooms, many of them occu-
|pied, were filled with water. Streets
in all parts of the city were flooded,
the sewers being inadequate to carry
off the water, and the foundations Of
many building we're partially washed
away.
All communication beyond ten
miles from Millville was for a time
cut off. For several hours the piles
of hailstones remained about the
streets, and the city was filed with
the steam that came from the ice.
Greenhouses and poultry buildings
suffered the worst, scarcely whole
pane of glass remaining. To the
farmers whose truck farms lay in the
path OF the storm their entire sum.
mer crops will be total loss.
Fields of corn that were coming on
in splendid shape and fruit orchards
are ruined
What their loss will be cannot be
estimated at presently No crop that
was above the ground is now alive,
and it is the worst experience South
Jersey farmers have over had. they
say. "A
Boats in the Maurice. river were
blown from their moorins and carried
on the meadows. ~
The worst washoutA occurred on
South Second street. A handred feet
of the street was washed out to a
depth of twenty feet. The home, of
Benjamin Daniels was almost.Eashed
out from It's foundations. Thescellar
OF the store and residence of gohn
Hartman. Sr., is covered with seven
