TURNOUTS ON
DRIVE OVER DAM

The committee on Park Drives of
the City Park Commission are accom-
plishing a great deal just now in pro-
viding the turnouts upon the road
across the Tumbling Dam drive lead
ing from West avenue, to what may be
called the North Laurel street road
way. Warren Brandriff has a gang
OF men at work upon the important
improvement, and he is making rapid
progress. There are three turnouts
upon the roadway. The first one an
preaching the park from the west from
West avenue, is upon the middle bridge
over the deep water gates. This
turnout is provided by throwing deck
over the girders of the bridge across
the spellway. Half way along the
drive going east, another turnout will
be provided by thrown up dirt and
banking it in from the swamp on the
south side Of the dam. Still another
turnout is being made by fill just
west of the waste gate bridge at the
Tumbling Dam Park lake pavilion.
This will make it easily possible for
vehicles of all sorts to cross the drive
on the high dam in assured safety.
Automobiles will be no longer restrict
ed from crossing over the road, which
will be an added pleasure for those
who drive pleasure machines. The en-
tire expense will be slight cost for
such an improvement, and nothing
will be done this season that will be
more appreciated.

FIRE DESTROYS
LITTLE HOME
Harry Carmelia Loses All
He Has.
FIRE IS MYSTERIOUS.
Fire Yesterday Afternoon, Too, Does
a Little Damage to House Oc-
cupied by Strang. r

About three o'clock this morning a
fire alarm caused the department to
make the long run to south Pine street
where flames were destroying the mod
est home property of Harry Carmelia,
lineman employed by the Bridgeton
and Millyille Traction Company. 1t
was long run for the department and
so fierce were the flames that the lit
tie frame dwelling was entirely de-
stroyed before efforts could be put
forth to put out the flames and the
adjoining property occupied by Clar-
ence Cheesman, was also very consid-
erably damaged.
Carmelia lives alone at the house
on South Pine street, which is Just in
the rear of the South Avenue car
barns of the Traction Company. Last
night the young man visited his sister
and was not at home and there was
no fire in the house. The origin of the
fire is thus unexplained and is mys-
terry.
The spreading flames soon enveloped
the structure and made it. impossible
for first comers to save anything at
all. The house-furnishings together
with every bit of clothing and per-
sonal effects of Carmelia were de-
stroyed
IL
The intense fire caused some damage

to borrow clothing. 70 attend his
work.
There was slight insurancesalon the

RAILROAD co.
REFUSES MAIL
West Jersey & Seashore Co. 8
Attitude.
NO BAGGAGE CAR.
Station Agent Herbert Announces
That Late Mail Cannot
Be Carried.

The .. s. post Office department ar
ranged to give the business people and
manufacturers of Bridgeton the con-
veniences of late mail to Philadel-
phia upon the Pennsylvania railroad
train leaving Bridgeton at $40 o'clock.
The railroad employees and officials
promptly succeeded thus far in de-
feating the efforts of the post office
department in providing this conven-
lence for the public.
Postmaster Davis has orders from
the railway post Office department to
make up through pouch on Monday
night last. This the postmaster did.
Station Agent Herbert very prompt
ly informed Postmaster Davis that he
could not receive the mail for the
train, and had no orders. The Post
master showed Mr. Herbert his official
orders from the government. Mr.. Her
bert said that the raiload company
had not notified him and the handling
OF the pouch meant a lot of extra work
and trouble for the local employees.
The mail pouch was made up by the
post office dispatcher, but the railroad
company would not receive it or send
it upon the train. The pouch was not
handled last night.
Now Station Agent Herbert says
there is no baggage car or baggage
master upon the late train and there
fore the one pouch cannot go out.
So far as Herbert explains there'is is no
possible way for the great Pennsyl-
vania railroad company to handle one
single, leather mail pouch upon its
$40 train from Bridgeton, and trans
fer the pouch to the Camden train at
Camden. Such herculean task ap-
pears beyond the capacity of the local
station agent.
Yesterday Postmaster Davis went to
Philadelphia and reported the matter
to the postal authorities and the gov
ernment will take up the matter from
that end. 1t is very generally under
stood that the local employees of the
railroad company, including the neg
ligible station agent is doing every
thing possible TO prevent a contfnua-
ton of the late train service.
The through pouch to Philadelphia
going out on the $40 train, would
prove one of the greatest conveniences
to Bridgeton. From 600 to 500 first
class letters will go out on the pouch
every night, and all of them princi-
pally from manufacturers and business
men who support the railroad COM
pany and make for the corporation its
profits.
The people of Bridgeton have long
suffered from the incompetency and
lack of capability of the West Jersey
railroad management in Bridgeton,
and it is time for the public to make
some demand for its rights. The first
movement should be to provide an
Office boy for the local station who
can figure out how to carry a single
package weighing a couple of hundred
pounds upon steam train. >

OF the members Of the county Board

MINISTERS WILL
FIGHT BEER FARMS
A Committee Appointed to
Wage War.
ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Last Meeting For the Summer of
the Bridgeton Ministerial
Association.

The last meeting of the Ministerial
Association of this city was held in
the Commercial League rooms yester-
day afternoon for theSsummer.
DR.. Gamble, the president of the
association, presided, and asked Rev.
H. H. Beadle to open the meeting with
prayer
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by the secretary, Rev Dooley, and
approved.
The summer meeting to be held at
the Park entrance was discussed.
The vacancies of the ministers was
discussed, and it was soon discovered
that most of them had purposed being
away from the city during August
DIR. Gamble, while awaiting the ar
rival of Rev. Sherman G. Pitt, who
was to read an essay, spoke at some
length on the work that might be
prosecuted in the cause OF temperance,
by having committee appointed to
confer with the prosecutor regarding
the numerous beer farms" about the
suburbs. He suggested such COM
mittee and Mr.. Van Hoesen made a
motion that committee of three be
appointed, consisting of the president,
the secretary, and Rev. Mr.. Morton.
DR.. CANDLES remarks before the
proceeding was crystalized were these:
In view of the astonishing preya-
lence of drinking in our city, the dis
turbance in consequence, and the extra
vigilence and labor imposed upon the
Mayor and the Public Safety Depart
ment, the question forced to the front
is, Where does the liquor that causes
all this trouble, come from?"
Believing that it comes from the
numerous beer farms" adjacent to
our city limits, we therefore create a
committee to confer with the Public
Prosecutor as to whether a remedy of
this evil may not be found.
The Park entrance meetings were
arranged to start on the first Sunday
in July. -
Schemes were discussed looking
towards a general advertising of,
church and religious work for the
coming fall.
Mr.. Morton moved and it was ord
cred that an adjourned meeting be
held the last of this month for con-
sidering this subject, and a committee
was appointed to formulate plan for
procedure.
Rev. Mr.. Pitt having to attend fun
eral services, was obliged to be late
at the meeting to deliver his essay on
''The Test of Efficiency as Applied to
the Minister"
Efficiency, he said, is the great word
in the commercial world, the industrial
world and in the social world.
He summarized his paper in TWO
parts as applying to the minister;
first, honest effort, and second,
right spirit, and upon these he elab-
grated most conclusively. Discussion
briefly followed the very excellent
paper.
