Why the Delay?

Residents of Vine street in the Third
ward are asking questions about the
condition of that street. They cannot
quite make up their mind why the
roadway should be left in its present
condition. -Four weeks ago the cross
ings were taken up and the roadway
plowed up. This was done presumably
to have the street gravelled. Since the
plowing nothing has been done, and
the up-rooted street has been left
neglected and practically impossible
for the convenience of the public. The
people are asking why. Nobody is
answering the question. The overseer
is certainly not on the job, neither on
Vine street or in many other parts of
the ward. The complaint against the
road administration west of the river
is general.

Fire Destroys a Small Bsrr.

O'Clock a fire alarm was turned in

the summons.
Fire had broken out in the small
barn in the rear of the Keeper store
and it was soon a uass of flames, and
pretty much destroyed before the fire.
men extinguished the fire.
The barn was small one in which
were stored empty boxes barrels and
such other waste from the store. There
was no hay or straw in it. How the
hre started can only be conjectured
Mr.. Keeper says he cannot guess how
1T should have originated. There is
never any fire about the premises for
any purpose and there were no boys
about the place to his knowledge.
1t might have been that boys had
gone to the place from the Grove St.
way and had matches, but there was
no evidence of this discovered. The
loss is about $3.50.

Within a month st. Johns Lutheran
church will have a new pastor. A
young man has been secured, cone of
the class at college of which Rev. G..
E. Poengenson was a member. When
he completed his college course the
young man went to Europe for a two
years course in German and is now on
his way back to this country. The
church authorities have assured the
Bridgeton church people that the young
man will come here and he is most
highly recommended.
During the warm weather Rev. Mr.
Meyer, Of Philadelphia, will come here
and preach evenings in the local
church.

Surveyors Working on r. r.

That the Central Railroad Company
proposes to make the extension of it's
tracks from about Bowentown to Water
street, is more and more evident. Yes
terday railroad surveyors were here
and running lines on Water street. 1t
is said that if the city consent is given
for the grade crossings that work will
begin upon grading the road and laying
the rails. 1t is intended that the
tracks shall go north as far as the S.
f. Pennell property.

NEW STATION
WILL BE BUILT.

From sources that seem to be authen-
tic comes the further information that
the West Jersey and Seashore railroad
company will abandon the railroad sta
tion on South Pearl street. The con-
tract to tear down the old Irving ave-
nue. station building will probably be
awarded this week.. All of the old
seats and other furniture in the build
ing has been sold, some of it to Bridge
ton parties.
1t is said that as soon as the old
building is off lot, there will be new
structure erected upon the high bluff
at Irving avenue and Walnut street.
The ''Pioneer" informant says that
the building will be of buff brick and
of colonial architecture The informa-
tion is further to the effect that the
present Irving avenue station will also
be abandoned and all Of the passenger
business will be done at the new Irv-
ing.avenue building.
1t is declared further that the sudden
effort to get the new building ready is
to get away from maintaining safety
gates at the Irving avenue crossing, as
will be demanded by the city in an ap-
plication to the Court in Chancery.
The management probably feels that
when the Court is informed that the
passenger trains will no more be oper-
ated on the down town branch that it
will be decided that there is no demand
for safety gates. 1t is claimed upon
good railroad authority that to main
tain safety gates at single crossing
represents an investment of $40, 900.
1t is further alleged that the West Jer-
sey Company will probably ask to be
released from maintaining safety gates
on East Commerce street, at the Ferra-
cute crossing.
h 1t may also be said that the West
Jersey Company has no intention Of
electrifying the Bridgeton branch of
the road.
i The news as given exclusively in the
Pioneer on Monday aroused good
deal of interest and there is nothing
but criticism and resentment upon the
part OF the people. 1t is generally
complained that the Irving avenue site
is SO far from the centre Of the citv
that it will work at very great hard
ship upon the citizens generally. To
compel business men to go away out to
North Bridgeton to take any of the
slow trains to Philadelphia is adding a
burden that is apparently the limit.
Mails reaching the Post Office will
be delayed, express matter will be
longer reaching the business district,
and there is practically no accommoda-
tions for the public getting to and
from the proposed station.
1t is understood that the entire South
Pearl street plant of the railroad com
pany will be devoted to freight bust
ness

very much, to the local FANS as if the

n. D., Lupton, Ayars, Bowden and
Bowen. This nine scarcely gave the
kelchernites good practice and put up
very sleepy game. They lacked,
very noticeably, the snap and go that
previous Shiloh teams have had.
The audience got tired and the
Bridgeton players soon showed that the
disease was contagious.
The game was another slaughter,
seventeen safe hits for twelve runs was
the total, the visitors getting six safe
ones and two runs, but the runs were
purely the result of by-play. Bridge
ton had things entirely their own way
and could have made many more, but
for taking risks and slowing up after
the game was safe.
Barth started for the locals and
worked half the game. He should
have had an easy shut-out except for
misplays. He was feeling ill and
Eisenberger finished his game from the
sixth on. The latter was touched in
only one round and had his opponents
at his mercy throughout.
Ball made another ouartette of safe
drives, one triple and three singles,
but yesterday he had opposition, as
Knox also cracked out four, one double
and three singles. Rowe followed
closely with two doubles and one
single, while every man but three con-

The Bridgeton sluggers took what
little life Shiloh might have had, out
of them at the very first. Kelchne1
beat out a grounder and More and La
.velle both bunted safely. Ball strode
forward and scored the first two with
long single, aided by poor throw in
from left field. Knox sent sacrifice
fly to left, counting Lavelle; Rowes
double scored the ''Chief."
Barth opened the second with a
pretty single, Kelchner sacrificed,
More strolled, and Bowen, after fail
ing to hold Lavelle' third strike, didn' 4
know what to do with the ball, so he
held on to it and the bases were filled,
and Mr.. Indian comes to bat. Great
silence. Then smash, he clears the
sacks and settles on third himself.

A Novelty for the Christmas
Supper.

An unusual little supper-time
surprise which was served to fam
lily party last year was this : Flaky
baking powder biscuits-in some
localities known as quick biscuits
had been made just at dinner.
While they had had ample time to
cool, they were still very soft and
fresh. The top of each little bis
cult was pried off with fork and
as much of the inside removed as
could be easily done without dis
turbing the shape of the outside.
At the last moment the remnants
of the turkey were mixed with
celery ard few capers, and, with
dressing which had
been made the day previous. a de-
licious salad mixture was ready in
a few moments. The December
Delineator.

This was undoubtedly the big
gest day of the week on the State
Fair Grounds, and ia the city of
Jackson, not only in point of num-
bers of visitors, but the varied at
fractions presented. There was an
attendance of 5000 or 5000
school children and students, from
public schools, in city and rural
districts, and the several colleges
and high schools in and near Jack
son. The march of the school peo-
pie was led by the eighty-odd
young ladies from the Port Gibson
Female College, who reached the
city by way of Vicksburg early in
the forenoon, and who were met at
the station by Committee of the
Fair Association and local school
men and women, with a section of
Robinson's Band, who were escort
ed to the Statehouse first, where
they were cordially received by
Governor Noel and shown over the
building, from upper floor to base
