HORSE HAD F|T,,
CHILDREN HURT

A day or two since julius Gordon,
business man of Vineland, came
here, bringing with him in the car
riage two children. Upon the return
trip home in the afternoon, Mr.. Cor
don drove into the home of John F.
Simpkins on the Rosenhayn road and
gave the animal some water. While
so doing the horse was seized with
a fit and started out on a mad run,
dashing down a lane and out into the
orchard. The girl and boy who had
been left seated in the carriage were
dashed out on the ground, both hurt,
the girl seriously. DR.. Glendon went
out and attended the children. A. S.
LAWN, of this city, responded to a
call for assistance and took the Cor
don family to Vine1and in his auto
mobile.

JUST DRUNK.

Fred Barton last night arrested
Frank Cassidy and locked him up in
the station house where he remained
all night. Cassidy is one of these
young men who has no more sense
than to think it is a manly thing to
drink rum, and that he is a good fell
low to be drunk. Last night Cassidy
drank little bit and as usual with
these youngsters, it muddled up his
brains and Cassidy was unable to
take care of himself. This morning,
with headache, he appeared before
Mayor Hampton, pleaded guilty, and
paid fine and costs of $3.50.

John Carlaw before him charged with
the violation of the ordinance prohib-
iting the sale of liquor in Bridgeton.

FAMILY SCRAP
BEFORE THE MAYOR

Nearly dozen men and women from
Oohansey street we're before Mayor
Hampton last night at City Hall, and
Tor an hour were wildly and unintelli-
gently discussing a family scrap. 1t
was an affair in which a number of
people had become involved, and each
CT those at City Hall were making an
effort to explain the situation to the
Mayor. His Honor listened patiently
for some time to the babel of voices.
and when patience ceased to be a
virtue and other business was pressing,
mayor Hampton showed the entire
party out in the night.

City Council met last evening in the
second stated session for the month
of August, and the evening was occu-
pied with quite few matters of i'm
portance.
Word was received early in the eve
ming before the hour for council to
convene, that Mr. John N. Glaspell,
President of Council, had been taken
seriously ill with an attack of acute
indigestion, and would be unable to be
present. The word was received with
general regret, for Mr.. Glaspell makes
an admirable presiding officer, and his
kindly presence in the Office of coun-
Gil was sincerely missed. 1t was the
first session, either special or regu-
lar, that President Glaspell has missed
during the four and one half years
that he has held the honorary office.
Councilman Elmer D. Mulford was
unanimously chosen president pro
TEN, and with his experience as an
executive officer, he handled the busi-
ness of the session in an expeditions
manner.
Building permits were granted as
follows:- Maier & Mixner, gymnas-
ium building, 45X45, rear of B. A. A.
building, CARL & CARL, double house

The application of James Lello to
add more rooms on the second floor
of No. 112 South Pearl street, was
referred to the Commissioner of Pub
lie Safety with directions to report
back at the next stated meeting of
City Council. There is some opposi-
ton to Mr.. Lello making these i'm
provements to what is already a di-
lapidated structure only five feet from
the street line.
The Board of Health addressed a
communication to council requesting
that representative from their body
be appointed as delegate to attend
the Congress of Hygiene, at Washing
ton, D. c., September 23-28th. The
chair appointed Mr.. Whipple and Mr..
Whitaker as a committee to confer
with the Board of Health, and deter
mine the probable expense of sending
a delegate.
Commissioner of Public Safety Geo.
H. Hughes gave a detailed report of
the police and fire departments.
The police have answered 80 calls
within the past two weeks, and there
have been two prosecutions where the
traffic ordinance was violated, and
sixteen cases where persons owned or
harbored unregistered dogs.
In the fire department the new fire
hose has been tested and proven sat-
isfactory. The Commissioner calls
particular attention to the water
pressure conditions in North Bridge
ton, and cites the recent fire at the
Cumberland plant, as a possibility for
a serious fire.
About one hundredstramp dogs have
been killed and buried on the park
farm, and nearly one thousand have
been officially registered.
Commissioner of Streets and High
ways F. L. Fralinger, gave very in
teresting report, showing the work
done in various parts of the city, and
indicates that he has the repair work
