THE DUTCHMAN
WAS STUBBORN

Richard Romer is looked upon at
City Hall as a stubborn German, a
man who has iron will and a good
deal Of disagreeable prejudice. He was
arrested intoxicated night before last
and he paid his respects to policeman
Barton and other officials in authority
with shocking profanity.
Yesterday morning Romer declined
to acknwledge that he had been drink
ing and declared that he had not been
disorderly.
Last night Romer was given a trial
before Mayor Arthur c. Whitaker,
charged with drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct. The evidenc was con-
elusive. Mayor Whitaker adjudged
Romer guilty and imposed a fine and
costs of $1075. Romer declared he
would not pay. The Mayor said that
in default of payment Romer must
serve in Jail sixty days. The German
said he would take the sixty days. His
wifi and counsel urged him to pay the
fine. This he said he would not permit
but would go to Jail for sixty days
and when he came out he would get
somebody.
After lot of argument Romer fin
ally permitted the payment of the mon
ey and went home with his wife, first
promising he would not drink again in
Bridgeton-
Romer has a record in the police
courts. Mayor Whitaker declared that
if Romer again came before him he
would go to Jail for ninety days, and
he would stay his full time

MAN AND HORSE
KILLED AT CROSSING
Matthews Driving into Town With
Some Poultry, Drove Directly in
Front of Passenger Train.
From DailysPlonser, Dec. 2srd,

James Matthews, aged rs years, a
farmer living on Rosenhayn road just
east of the Parker Brothers glass
works, was instantly killed yesterday
afternoon at the grade crossing of the
Penna railroad just at rhe Parker
Brothers glass works.
The passenger train due here at 42O
was bowling along on time. A stop
had been made at the East Bridgeton
Junction, and great speed had not
been attained at the Parker Brothers
crossing.
James Matthews had left his home
about o'clock He had some chick
ems in his wagon to bring to the
Bridgeton markets. He was in a
market wagon and driving bay horse.
Matthews must have been entirely
oblivious TO the approach of the train.
He drove directly on the track in front
of the train. Engineer Hutchinson
had no opportunity to do anything.
He threw on the air brakes and re-
versed his engines, but the engine
struck the wagon directly in the CEN
tire and smashed the vehicle in pieces,
carrying much of the debris upon the
COW catcher
Matthews was thrown from the wa
gon, pitching the old man fully one
hundred and fifty feet from the cross
ing, the body falling east of the track
in a ditch. When picked up the man
was just breathing. He had horri-
Bile cash in his head and was entirely
unconscious.
The train ran several hundred feet
before being brought to standstilL
The debris of the wagon Was thrown
aside and the train backed up and
Matthews was picked up and placed
aboard, with view of rushing him to
the Irving Avenue Hospital Matthews
died before Irving avenue station was
reached.
The horse driven by Matthews had
its neck broken. Apparently the animal
was not struck by the train. The
force of the collision caused the ami
NAL to be thrown westward from the
track. AS the animal hurtled through
the air it struck an iron caution sign
with sufficient force to kill the horse
and the heavy iron post was badly
bent.
Matthews home is in full sight of
the crossing.
The old farmer has always been
careless in crossing railroad tracks.
This is the third time he has been
struck. About year ago his wagon
was demolished upon crossing by a
Central railroad locomotive.

RAINY NIGHT
FIRE RUINS HOME
Orange St. Residence Badly
Damaged.
FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT
NO One Seems to Know Just How
the Blaze Was Started
Last Evening.

An alarm Of fire was turned in from
box No. 26 last night about $50 o'clock.
This was followed by second alarm
which started crowds of people toward
Orange and Lemon streets, where a
blaze badly damaged double tenant
house on the west side of Orange
street, one door removed north of
Lemon street.
In the south side of the dwelling
lives Mr.. and Mrs VIM. Smith, while
the north side is occupied by family
of foreigners, small grocery store
being in the front room of the house.
Most of the blaze was at the top Of
the house and the upper floors and
roof were badly damaged
The fire being but a short square
from the engine house, the fire depart
ment was almost instantly in action,
and two streams of water were turned
upon the blaze.
All the while the men were fire
fighting the rain fell in torrents, and
the dark street made a most incon-
venient and sloppy place for the
crowds and the firemen.
About an hour the fremen fought
the flames before all of the fire was
eXtinguished. The house was pretty
badly damaged by the fire and pretty
much the entire place was made in
habitable by the drenching water from
the hose pipes. A good deal OF the
furnishings of the two dwellings were
wet and the homes will be anything
but cheerful upon Christmas.
Just how the fire started does not
seem clear. 1t was at first thought
that defective f1ue might have been
responsible. The f1remen found a
lamp upon the stairs of the foreigners
residence, and this may have exploded
