A YOUNG MAN
ELECTROCOTED.

Albert Vineyard, .1S years old, son of
William Vineyard. met a horrible
death early last evening. The tragedy
occurred near Cedarville, in front of
the house where the boy lived.
There are Cedar trees in front of
the house. Through them run
electric wires which furnish lighting
to Oedarville. Above are the high
tension wires which carry motive
power.
No one noticed young Vineyard
when he climbed into the tree. 1t is
not known just when he did, or why
he should.
Early in the evening Mr.. Louis
Vineyard. the father, came home and
his attention was attracted to the tree
for some reason.
He was Mortified to see the body of
the boy lying upon the branches. He
hurriedly removed the body and
brought it to the ground. The lad
was dead.
DIR. Frank Bateman was summoned.
He found that the head of Vineyard
had come in contact with the wires
and be had been instantly electrocut-

DEATH OF AN
UNFORTUNATE.

Frank F. Davis, the we'll known
painter, was brought home to his
mothers residence on Pine street last
night, and died as he was carried into
the house.
A week ago on Monday Davis went
down to Tyndall's Wharf ostensibly to
fish and crab and take weeks outing,
He was with Harry Cline and others
aud put up in Clines house boat at the
wharf there.
1t appears from reports which reached
his mother that on Sunday last they
were visited by party from Bridgeton
and big time was had with beer
and whiskey drinking.
Yesterday Davis was seized with
convulsions, and after the last one from
which he regained consciousness he
said to Harry Bowen, 'Is that you,
Bowen?" ''Yes, Frank" said Bowen.
Take me to Bridgeton," Frank said,
and these were the last words he
uttered as another spasm seized him.
Going to farmers, Bowen procured
a buggy and, with the farmers son,
brought Davis to his home.
Mrs. Davis, the mother, met them at
at the door. and seeing her son was in
serious condition telephoned to DR..
Sewell who responded within five min
utes. Davis was laid upon the floor
and Mrs. Matthews, who had arrived,
began rubbing him, but as soon as the
doctor looked at him he pronounced
him dead.
Mrs. Davis said he breathed only
twice after they laid him on the floor
Frank F. Davis was the son of Mrs.
Mary and the late Jesse G. Davis, and
was their only child. He was SO years
Of age, and has one son who resides in
Philadelphia, and is barber.
The funeral notice appears in another
column.
Coroner Maier, who was notified at
Fortescue, viewed the body and decid
ed, with the County Physician, that no
inquest was necessary.

USE BARRELS FOR
BALLOT BOXES.

Whether to have the ballot for voting
on the constitutional amendment print
ed so small that no one can read it
without the aid of a reading glass, so
that it will go in the ordinary ballot
box, or print it large enough for any
one to read it, and use soap boxes and
sugar barrels as receptacles. is the
question that is puzzling those who
have the special September election in
charge.
The subject on which the people are
to vote is of such great Importance
that it is the desire of those who wish
to see the matter voted on in an intelli-
gent manner, to have it perfectly plain
to everyone, Under the form of ballot
prepared under the directions for the
special election, the proposed amend
ments are divided into sections. Oppo.
site the title of each section are the
words for" and against, according
to the copy which has been prepared.
He who wishes to vote for section
will simply strike out the word
"against, and he who is against any
particular section will strike out the
word 'for'' opposite the title.
There are SO many amendments and
the attempt is being made to make
them SO clear to the voters that if the
ballot is printed in the size of type
ordinarily used for newspapers the
ballot will take up a sheet of paper
larger than that of the first page of the
True American. This type will be
large enough so that there will be no
hindrance to the voting and no lost
time in the voting booth while the
voter reads over the amendments and
prepares his ballot for depositing in
the ballot box
But il ballot of that size is used
and is folded as is required, it cannot
be placed in the opening of the ballot
box ordinarily used. The only recourse
in that case seems to be to use cracker
box or a barrel in which slits are cut
OF size sufficiently large to receive the
ballot properly folded.
On the other hand, if the ballots are
made small enough to go in the open
ings Of the ballot boxes commonly
used, it will be necessary to print them
in type SO small that even persons with
average eyesight will have difficulty in
reading the amendments without the
aid of a magnifying glass, and even
then the voting officials might have
difficulty in making decision whether
the voters intend to vote for or against
any particular amendment.
1t is thought that there may be one
way out of the difficulty, and that is to
press into service the boxes used at the
primary elections. But even that is
not sure thing.
A ballot of the size of the ordinary
newspaper has been printed and for
warded to Governor Fort for an opinion
Until advice has been received from
him nothing definite will be decided

FIRE DESTROYS
FARM BUILDINGS.

The barn and all out buildings on
the farm owned by James r. Rainear
Of Shiloh and occupied by Loren
Loveland were burned Saturday after
noon while the occupant was in
Bridgeton.
The origin Of the fire is uncertain.
Everything being so dry the flames
made quick work.
Mrs. Loveland was the first to see
the fire and rushing to the barn she
got out one horse and saved it, she
also got a second horse out but about
that time she missed her children and
fearing they had followed her into the
barn she let go Of the horse and 1t
rushed back in the barn and was
burned to death, colt was so badly
burned, that they expect to have to
kill 1t.
A great deal Of farm machinery was
destroyed, a manure spreader, a
> moving machine and a new potato
digger which had net yet been used.
The barn contained a great quantity
of hay and wheat. The colored man
moving with a scythe nearby was
called and the neighbors responded
heroically and helped to save the
house.
Bedding and other things which
were carried out for fear the house
would go, were set afire by the flying
sparks.
H. Baker the nearest neighbor
worked extremely hard in the ex.
element and did himself personal in
jury.
At sunset the contents of the barn
were still burning and ere darkness
fell it was the scene of many
spectators. The news flew in many
directions by telephone and people
drove long distances to visit the place.
There was some insurance on the
barn and wagon house and Mr.. Love-
land also had his farm machinery in.
sured to some extent.
Mrs. Loveland was a Miss Fox of
Bridgeton, they have a great deal Of
sympathy in their sudden loss.

finally scored the single run upon an
error by the Pennsgrove pitcher. 1t
was a close, rather exciting struggle,
neither side hitting much. The Penns-

good pitcher. There was quite an
enthusiastic bunch of rooters from
Pennsgrove and they aided their boys
all they could. The score:
