Heavy Buying Shows Confidence

New York, August 81, 1908. - Recent
interviews with the most prominent
merchants in this city, show that the
buyers for the large houses throughout
the country are purchasing with a
view toward having the busiest season
in the past ten years.
In spite Of the fact that this is a
Presidential year, we hear of many
manufacturers who are taking advan-
tage Of the temporary lull in business
to increase their facilities for the COM
ing year rather than limit their oper-
ations.
The pioneers in the low priced watch
industry, Robt. H. Ingersoll & Bro,
have recently purchased the large fac
tory of the Trenton Watch Company.
The plant is now being operated by
about 500 persons and it is expected
that it will very shortly employ be+
tween 1000 and 1900 people With
this new plant they intend to add
more expensive watches than those they
now manufacture. "

LIQUOR CROWD
IN BIG TROUBLE.

!. Millville, N. j.. Sept. 1. 1.-Another
decisive blow, which had the effect of
bomb in the camp of the ''wets,"
was dealt te-day by the Law and Order
League, which is conducting vigor-
Gus crusade against speak -easies and
beer clubs here, and the liquor forces
are in complete rout. William Tyler,
who has been held under $500 bail on
the charge of illegal sale, was placed
under 81, 900 additional bonds to-day on
the charge of perjury. Charles Shick,
who was held for court under 81, 900
bail, was required to furnish $500 more
to-day on a charge of threatening the
life of the detective who testified
against him. He failed to find a bonds
man and was locked up until surety
appeared.
Richard Simmer, who escaped from
the city when the net was drawn
week ago, was arrested yesterday at
Wildwood by Deputy Sheriff Frank
Bullock, and was to-day sent to Bridge.
ton Jail in default of $500 bail on the
charge of illegal sale of liquor.
Walter Hopman was placed under
bail to the amount of $500 on COM
plant of operating speakeasy. The
evidence against all of those held was
very strong. and that they will be in
dicted by the grand jury the temper
ance men have little doubt.
Thomas Phifer, who was arrested be-
cause he failed to answer a subpoena in
one Of the liquor cases, was discharged
by Justice James R. Headley, as the
writ had been given to the mans
mother and not legally served. The
league is preparing for another scoop
before Sunday.

Thousands to Add to Ratsbles.

Thousands to Add to Ratables.
The State Board of Assessors has
notified the local Board of City Asses
sors, that second class railroad propsfty
in this city has been assessed by the
State Board upon valuation of $106,
641.00. This is practically what it
was year ago The. City assessora
are directed to add the amount TO the
aggregate ratables found by the Bridge
ton Board
This will make the local assessment
little more than $40, 600 less than it
was year ago. The falling3off as pre-
viously explained in the Pioneer is due
to the loss upon bank stocks, and the
exemption upon the Elmer estate now
owned by the government
Upon this valuation there will be a
slight increase in the taxsrate for the
city, but it will be less than So.

the Second Presbyterian church, of
which the deceased was member, con-
Quoted the brief ceremonies. The pail

his summer practice cruise on the U.
S. Ship Chicago, of the fleet under
Commander Benson, when the Ad-
miral's illness became alarming, but,
on the fleets arrival at Hampton
Roads, he was granted immediate
leave and arrived here in time to com.
fort his grandfather with his presence
and with the assurance that he had
made good his expectations regarding
him at Annapolis.
Every care and attention that was
possible was bestowed upon the dying
man by friends who did their best to
mitigate the absence Of his wife, whose
own illness, away from home, was
such as to make her immediate return
impossible.
He was patient sufferer and the end
came quietly on Saturday morning,
Aug. 29th,
The Admiral had recently been
| elected member Of the Loyal Legion,
but had not been able to attenda q meet.
ing for initiation. But the Legion
sent wreath, to be laid upon his
coffin.
The funeral, yesterday afternoon,
| was quiet, and, as he would have
wished, entirely without display. other
than that the flag of the country he
loved and served was draped over his
coffin.
The services at his late residence
were conducted by his friend, Rev. H.
H. Beadle, his own pastor, Mr.. Oates,
being to- far away on his summer va
cation to be recalled. Mr.. Beadle was
assisted by Rev. Joseph l.. Ewing of
the West Church. One of the most
touching features of the services was
the singing of LEAD, Kindly Light, -
and of the hymn, Eternal Father
the sailors hymn, by quartette COM
posed of Mr.. and Mrs. Janvier Mrs
Chas. F. Reeves and Mr.. Elwood
Weber.
The coffin was borne by Messrs
Alex. Fithian, Lewis Elmer, DIR. NJ
K. Elmer, Percival Smith, D. Herbert
Garrison and L onidas Coyle.
Iuterment was at Broad street ceme-
tely where monument already stands
to the memory of the Admiral's father
aud mother a.
One of the gentlest of men. he was
rigid in his recognition of duty and
enforcement of discipline. Even when
he knew his days were numbered he
refused to send for his grandson until
the duties of his first practice cruise
had been completed.
While having been called upon to
face more trouble of various kinds
than. falls to the lot of most men, he
never allowed it to sour his disposi-
tion nor jeopardize his faith.
He loved his country, his family and
his church and gave to all and always
the best he had to give, both of devo-
tion and service. E. M. F.

RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS
ARE INCREASED.

The state Board of Assessors has
completed the final lists of assessed
second class railroad property in the
state for 1908 assessment, and the ag-
gregate value for this class of railroad
property which includes everything
except the value of the 1Oo-foot wide
main stem of continuous track, is
S75, 533, 1852.
The figures show an increase over the
assessments of second class property
for the years 1906 and 1907, which
were recently completed by the state
board. The increase in the 1908 figures
over the valuations for 1897 is 81, 27O, :
705, and compared with the 1905 valu-
ations the figures for 1908 show an in
crease of So, 1872 s75.
1t will be remembered that the law
of 1908 directing that these assess
ments be made by the state board was
passed after the courts had declared
unconstitutional the law placing these
assessments with the various local
boards Of assessors. Several of the
railroad companies have appealed from
the assessments as fixed for 1905 and
1907, and these appeals are now being
heard by the state board.
The second class assessments for 1908
by counties is as follows: Atlantic,
S972, 682; Bergen, So, OF, 446; Burling.
ton, $17e, 17s; Camden, S, 1852, 33s Cape

In 1854 he was attached to the flag
ship of Commodore NJ c. Perry in the
famous expedition which opened Japan
to the commerce of the world. 1t was
an effort as successful as it was daring,
for 80 years later, the Japanese them
selves built monument upon the spot
to commemorate the event.
Another special service in which he
took part was the laying of the first
Atlantic cable in 1858, piece of which
the Admiral always kept as memento.
He was born on Dec. 13, 1920, of
David Fithian and Mary Reeves his
father dying in 1868 and his mother in
1881. Many of this generation well
remember his mother, so long resident
on Washington street and later in the
family of Lewis H. Dowdney, by the
affectionate title OF "Aunt Polly
Edwin Fithian's early career was
marked by the rugged self discipline
and determination which make the
strong foundations of successful careers.
His education was dearly bought in
circumstances so straitened that he
even kept his humble lodging place in
Philadelphia secret but when he
came to take his examination for en-
trance to the Navy in 1S4S he went in
with flying colors.
The brief statement of his promo
tions is that he was made Chief Engi.
neer in 1859, Captain in 1866 and Rear
Admiral in 1906.
He was married on March 10th, 1S41,
to Mary Garrison, who died year
later.
He Was married again on March
10th, 1868, to Ella Maria Benedict, of
New York. By this marriage he had
one daughter, Alice Maud Fithian,
born Dec. 9th, 1868. She was educated
broad, returned here for brief visit
and was married in June, 1889, to
Richard T. Kingman, of South Dakota.
She died in 1898, leaving a three.year.
old son, Howard Fithian Kingman.
Retired now from active service with
the rank of Captain, he was married
again on Nov. 14th, 1889, to Annie
Stone, of Boston, England. He soon
brought his wife to the United States,
aud after a period of travel and of
visiting his daughter in the West, they
returned and made their home in
Bridgeton. He had only recently
bought the house on Lake street in
which they lived.
The Captains ambitions soon be-
came centred in his grandson Howard,
those ambitions pointing to the boys
succession to his own career in the
Navy. His grandfather sent him, at
the age of II, to a naval preparatory
school at Annapolis where he made
good preparation for his entrance to
the Naval Academy, in June, 1907,
having been appointed from North
Dakota.
