Large Barn Burned

During the gust last Sunday night
when the heavy clap of thunder came
about 8 o'clock lightning struck the
large barn on Clarence Doughten's
farm formerly Benny Weatherby's)
across Oldmans creek in Gloucester
county. The barn was burned, with
the contents. In it were 65 tons of
hay, the largest crop ever grown on
the farm. Two loads on wagons were
also burned.
Edward Ziegler, the tenant, also lost
a pair of valuable mules, harness, i'm
plements and 200 sash for tomato
beds.
When he arose Monday morning to
pick tomatoes he had no wagons nor
harness to haul them away.
The big loss was covered by small
assurances.

Plenty of B~asketmakers

Alfred L. Gillison, who has pur-
chased the boxing arena on East Main
Street and will convert part of it into
a basket factory, is optimistic over the
future of his contemplated venture.
First he feared he would be unable
to find men skilled in the art of basket
making. He was ~agreeably, disap-
pointed, however, as he has already
found seven basket and hamper MAX
ers right here in Penns Grove who

nave practically signed up with him.
In our article upon the subject last
week it was stated that Mr.. Gillisop
would like to have some one take part
of the big structure for a machine
shop. This has brought him several
applicants for this very feature, and
1t may be safely said there will be an
up-to-date machine shop in the build
ing. He has considerable space left
yet for small industries, and every
little bit helps.

ONE GAME 'NUFF
FOR THIS THREE
EYE LEAGUE UMP

Chicago, May Frank Driscoll,
1903 West Garfield boulevard,
thought q nice way to spend the
summer would be by umpiring in
the Three Eye league. He was as
signed to Bloomington, where Peo-
ria opened the season Monday.
Neither home nor visiting play
ers took kindly to Discolrs deci-
sions. Players trampled upon his
toes, showed him around and called
him names that he wouldn't have
stood for had his gang been with
him.
After the game Driscoll saun-
tered into a remote corner of the
grand stand to review the happen
ings of the afternoon. Then he made
his decision-and it was final.
Yesterday President Al Tearney
was requested by wire to obtain
another umpire. Driscoll then
wrote long letters to managers of
the Bloomington and Peoria clubs.
He was a square shooter and want
ed them to know it.
Mr.. Driscoll next caught a train
for Chicago. and West Garfield
boulevard.

CORN PRICES IN
new ADVANCES
Continue Climb in Hog Quotations
and Additional Rains Bring
Further Boost to Grain.

Chicago, May NE wadvances in
the value of corn resulted today
from further record-breaking of
high prices on hogs and owing to
additional rains. The excessive wet
weather has made the planting sea-
son late, and practically no corn has
yet been planted in Iowa In view
of the federal wheat administrator
speech here yesterday, sentiment
was much mixed, and nervousness
was the main Characteristic of the
market. Opening prices, which
ranged from Il off to rs advance,
with July $1691a to $40 and Sep
TENDER 1881 to $1.641a were fol-
lowed by a quick setback, and then
an upturn higher than before.
Commission house selling made
oats relatively weak. After opening
unchanged to &c up, with July
707s to 701s, the market averaged
somewhat lower than yesterdays
finish.
Provisions made only.a slight re-
Spouse to the latest upturn in hogs
and corn. Demand lacked volume.
