OLD STEAMER IN JUNK PILE

At Cramer Hill is now being demol-
ished by junkers an old river craft that
was closely identified with the early
history of the Port of Philadelphia,
namely, the steamboat Major Reyb bold,
which, until two years ago ran be-
tween Arch street wharf, Philadelphia
and Salem, with few Interruptions
since she was built in 1858. This once
famous old craft is being torn asunder
by the junkers, who purchased her for
81, 900 and many are the curio hunters
who have visited the scene of her de-
struction, willing to pay all sorts of
prices for some piece of the old craft.
Her departure from her wharf at the
foot of Broadway, Salem, several weeks
ago, in tow of the tug Alex Y. Hanna,
was sad scene, as there were congre-
gated on the pier some of Salem's old
est residents, gathered there to bid
farewell to boat that was closely as,
sociated with the upbuilding of this
quaint old Quaker settlement.
The old Major Reybold had varied
career and in the early days of her his
tory made thousands of dollars for her
owners. Railroad competition to many
OF the lower Delaware points, touched
on her way to Salem made her a los
ing venture. She was purchased by a
Philadelphia syndicate some three
years ago, and after one seasons work
the new owners sought to undo the
contract under which she was purchas-
ed, on the ground that her earning
capacity had been misrepresented.
The case was decided in her favor by
Vice. Chancellor Bergen, in Camden,
but this decision was reversed by the
Court of Errors and Appeals. The
boat lay at her wharf at Salem until
sold by the United States Marshal some
few months ago.
During the Civil war the Reybold
carried troops on the Delaware be-
tween the various forts. Afterward she
was put back on the line and twice
was sunk by striking on ledge of
rock at the entrance to Salem Creek.
She was completely Quilted by tor
nado which wrought such destruction
in Camden some twenty three years
ago.
Captain Charles Hall. who COM
manded the famous old craft for many
years. is now living in retirement in
Salem.

Photographs showing the little house
in which Somerfeld was shot, the Nor
ris chair in which he sat and the body
as it reposed in the chair, and the body
after removal from the chair.
DR.. Charlesworth was the first wit
ness called. He testified as to the
wound and condition of the body, and
said that from the autopsy he made he
was certain death must have been in
Simultaneous Bertha Kinkle and Mary
Kinkle, IA and 12 years old, gave posi-.
tive testimony of the shooting.
Knew the man shot as Joseph Somer-
field knew the man who did the shoot
ing. 1t was Richard Donegan. Mary

Reminder of Dastardly Murder.

Reminder of Dastarily Murder.
Among the murders committed in
the last few years in this county which
were mentioned in the Pioneer recently
might have been mentioned that of
Constable Henry Buck in Greenwich
township about the time Job Williams
case was before the court.
This was one of the most desperate
and dastardly ever committed in this
county. Because of the summary end
ing-never being before the court-it
did not attract lengthy attention.
Constable Buck arrested the desperate,
Pete Greenhalge for shooting at his
wife and father in-law. Pete went
along with the constable until reaching
their stopping place, when the officer
alighted from his wagon and hitching
strap in hand was about hitching his
horse to the post when Pete drew his
shot gun from the wagon and deliber
ately blew the constable's head Off
Pete escaped and was shortly found
drowned in the .Sheppard's mill pond.

THE COMING OF
DIR. COCHRAN.

Many people are looking forward with
keen interest to the coming of the Rev.
Joseph Wilson Cochran. He is to ad-
dress public union meeting at the
Second Presbyterian Church on Friday
evening at eight clock.
But who's DR.. Cochran +? He is the
man under whose superb leadership a
prominent church of Philadelphia,
grew in few years from membership
of five hundred to more than thous-
and He is the man selected after
many months search among seven thous-
and ministers, to succeed the late DR..
Edward B. Hodge, as Secretary of the
Board of Education of the Presbyterian
Church.
Dr. Cochran is recognized as easily
equal to the best among effective
preachers and leaders of men to-day.
His address before a crowded church
on Monday morning in Pittsburg,
some months ago, upon the old-fash-
ioned subject of Church Leadership, -
created an impression so profound, as
to be termed by some ''veritable SEN
sation.''
He is much in demand for addresses
the country over. To secure him in
Bridgeton, required arrangeing for
more than a year. And it is very
special privilege that his services have
been secured for date in Bridgeton
this week.
His message is sure to be of great in
-=terest to all. All who care anything
about leadership and character build
ing in the coming years, should make
it point to hear DR. Cochran. The
students in the higher grades of the
public schools are expected to be pres
,ent.
The faculty and students of the West
Jersey Academy will attend in body
The coming of DR.. Cochran has been
arranged by the Presbyterian Churches
of the city, He will speak in the Sec
ond Church. The message of the
speaker, however, is one for all to hear
Friday evening, o'clock.

COURT HOUSE
CORNER STONE.

The corner stone' of the old Court
House now being demolished was taken
out Tuesday. 1t was not a stone,
but the place where the corner stone
is located. 1t was in the north east
corner of the structure, just about on a
level with the first floor; it contained
an earthen jar, turned bottom up, the
brick and mortar being laid directly
upon it. Within it was a narrow
mouth, small green glass bottle which
would hold about pint Beneath this
was the decayed dust of what had
evidently been a newspaper - the
Chronicle as the word Chronicle was
partly discernable. Within the bottle,
tightly sealed up, and yellow with age
were several slips of folded papers
upon which were the following dates
and writings:

fReports Of damage from that ssc-
ton have been numerous and il Is
also said that the boil weevil, which
seems to thrive under moist condi-
tions, has spread and is becoming a
more threatening factor. Chicago
operators have been selling July to
some extent and certain large spot

have replaced their July with Janu-
ary. For time Wall street. the
South and Liverpool sold freely in

buying on all reactiors in the new
crop months. Bulls lay great stress

the fact that there Is nothing to COM

supposed to have been pretty effect

the effect of summer drought. Spin

however, is in favor of an ultimate

to record breaking consumption.
