manufactured gas for industrial pur-
poses is examplified in negotiations
just concluded by Public Service
Electric and Gas Company for sup-
plying total of 22,200,O0O cubic
feet of gas annually to four large
New Jersey concerns.
The United Piece Dye Works, in
Lodi, already a large consumer of

DOUBLE SMASHUP
NEAR RIVERSIDE
Responsible Operator Held In $5Oe
Bail. Drunken Driver The Cause.

The fact that gasoline and moon
shine don't mix was again proved
Sunday night on the State Highway
at Cambridge, short distance from
Riverside, when a Ford sedan, driven
by an intoxicated man, crashed into
another Ford sedan driven by George
States, of Riverside, and turned tur-
tie in the center of the road. The
drunken occupants, Walter Stockton,
1873 Carpenter street, Camden, and
Vincent M. Gilmore, 1889 Allegheny
avenue, Philadelphia, were pinned
beneath.
States, who was driving a$ slow
rate of speed, kept perfect control
of his machine as far, as possible
with three wheels, one having been
knocked off, pulled over to the side
of the side of the road and signalled
an oncoming machine to stop. This
machine, a large new touring car,
owned and driven by Thomas Gam
BILE, also of Riverside, stopped to as
sist States, and as he alighted from
his machine a heavy roadster crash
ed into the Chevrolet, which was
parked in the rear of the already
damaged Ford
Meanwhile other motorists went to
the aid of the occupants of the over
turned machine and seeing them I'M
conscious, rushed them to the Eur
brugg Hospital. A physician pro-
nounced both of the men badly in
toxicated and Chief of Police Will
liem Voshell, of the Riverside Police
department, arrested them Stockton
was held in the hospital for treat
ment for severe cuts and bruises.
A hearing was held at eight o'clock
Monday morning in the city hall at
which it developed that both men
had come from Philadelphia to visit
friend at Riverside and had been
treated to some wine. Stockton, own
er of the machine, said that he had
just bought the machine last Friday.
He was held under $500 bond, while
his companion was held as witness.

BEVERLY BOY SHOOTS
SELF IN STOMACH
Bullet Goes Through Hand And
Enters Stomach.

Thomas Tagler, 16, of Cooper
street, shot himself through the hand
and stomach Friday afternoon last
while playing with a pistol at the
store of William Kiple, at Edgewater
Park.
The gun, which was an automatic,
is kept in the store as a precaution
against thieves. Thomas in some
way gained possession of the gun and
he, not being familiar with its
workings pulled the trigger which
resulted i'm his wounds.
There was no one around the store
except Arthur Kiple, the proprietors
son, who was in charge, and upon
hearing the shot and seeing the blood
stains on Tagler's shirt at once sum-
moned Doctor George T. Tracy, who
in turn called on the City of Burling-
ton for the use of their machine and
rushed the boy to the Cooper Hospit-
all at Camden.
Examination showed that the
wound was not as serious as was
first thought, but it was deemed best
to keep the patient there for few
DAYS. Latest reports are of the best.

BURGLAR WEEDS FIANCEE
IN CAMDEN CITY JAIL
Bride Is Bertha Robinson, Formerly
OF This City.

Dan Cupid opened the cell door of
Camden city's prison long enough
Wednesday for Bertha Robinson, 20,
who formerly lived at Second and
Cooper streets, this city, and who
now resides at Delanco, to wed Mar
tin Ward, 25, of Gloucester, N. j.,
confessed burglar.
Martin was careless enough to go
out and seek capital in an Illegal
manner on week. ago and was ar
rested after he attempted to rob a
telephone slot box at ST. John and
Royden streets, Camden.
The bride appeared at the office
of Prosecutor Wescott, shortly after
g P. M. Wednesday night.
"This is my wedding day." she
shyly announced. IF the wedding
does not take place, it will break my
heart"
whats that to me-" the prosecu-
tor asked?
well" he was informed, 81 can
not get married vey well when you
have my intended husband in Jail"
IF you're willing to go through
with such match, so am l." declar-
ed Wescott. go out and get Ii
cense, the minister and some witness
es and I'll see what l can do"
In less than an hour Bertha return
ed with the necessary papers, the
Rev. S. Fees, pastor of Trinity NJ
f. Church, of Camden, and the
bridesmaid, Miss Catherine Burns,
of 1850 Landsdown avenue, Camden.
Ward, the bridegroom was led
from a cell on the fourth floor of the
court house. Then Prosecutor Wes-
colt discovered that there was no
best man.
ooh, that's all right" the bride
informed him, "He's in Jail too. He
is Benjamin Tanski, of 1906 South
9Th street, Camden, and his cell ad-
joins the one occupied by Martin"
They were still shy witnesses but
Detective James Wren and Warden
Edward Powell offered their services
and the ceremony was quickly
solemnized. After kiss the bride
groom and the best man were led
back to the CELL the girls departing,
their faces wreathed in, smiles.
Yesterday Ward pleaded guilty be-
fore Judge Shay of breaking and en-
tering and larceny.
But TansRi, who besides being
Wards best man, is accused by the
police of being his burglar accom-
plice, decided to stand trial and the
Judge said he would not sentence
Ward until the case against the
other defendant was settled.
The bride was in the courtroom.
"Well, at least he's mine when he
gets out of Jail, a few years from
now" she sighed.

BEVERLY WITHOUT
STREET MARKING SIGNS
More House Numbers Would Help
Beverly Get Carrier Service.

Since considerable discussion has
arisen during recent weeks in Bever-
,ly in regards to mail carrier service
it has been generally agreed that
City Council as we'll as the public
should lend every effort to assist in
bringing about this much-needed con-
venience.
City Council has already afforded
some help by authorizing the laying
of sidewalks throughout the entire
city. 1t is stated that the Postal De-
partment requires that large per-
centage of the territory be paved be-
fore carriers can be used.
Another very essential requirement
is that all street intersections be
clearly marked with the names of
the various streets. Even without
considering the question of mail de-
livery it is desirable to have street
names indicated at intersections and
in any small community where
progressive spirit exists these are al
ways to be found.
Beverly has just about an even
hundred street intersections out of
which number probably not more
than two or three are properly
marked. The main intersection at
Five Points has only one sign mark
ed Cooper Street" placed on build
ing at the Northwest corner. 1t has
become a common custom for our
police and in fact most any person
about the center of town to be ask
ed street directions frequently dur
ing every day Of the week.
1t lis no doubt true that the major
ity of Beverly citizens are rather
proud Of the generally good appear
,ance of our little town. 1t is be-
Neved that such pride would be fur
Their increased if Council would pro-
vide the necessary street signs and
help bring us "up-to-date."
1t is rumored that the West City
Line sign, "Use Your Head and
Brakes" which has been the target
for much criticism of late, will be al
tered; the Police Department bowling
to the demands of public opinion.
Another hindrance to the procur-
ing of carrier service is the fact that
a great many properties are without
numbers. The Government Postal
Department would require all houses
to be clearly marked. There is no
doubt but that everyone win place
numbers on his property if it is go
ing to help make free mail delivery
possible. Such numbers can be OBJ
tanned for few cents from hard
ware store.
Postmaster Rodman states that he
believes mail carrier service can be
accomplished if the people of Bever-
ly really want it and says he will
take the necessary steps toward ask
ing the Postal Department in Wash
ington to make an inspection of this
territory for that purpose, if he finds
that the public and City Council will
in the matter of sidewalks,
street signs and house numbering.
Judging from the opinions express
ed everywhere about town, the pub
lie is very anxious for mail delivery
and it is generally rumored that the
receipts of our local post office are
sufficiently large to now entitle us
to this service if we comply with re-
quirements of the Postal Department
the streets.

COUNCIL MEETING
NEXT THURSDAY
Sidewalks And Water Co. Franchise
May Come Up.

The regular monthly meeting of
Common Council for August will be
on next Thursday evening at s p
M. in the City Hail. At the last
Council meeting the room was pack
ed with citizens, who came TO see
what their representatives would do
ON the question of granting a fran
chise to the Water Company. 1t is
expected that more than common i'm
terest wild be given to the meeting
on Thursday evening inasmuch as
Council will probably further debate
the same topic as well as the much
mooted question of sidewalks.
Considerable speculation exists as
to whether another ordinance will be
presented to grant franchise to the
Delaware River Water Company At
the last Council meeting the ordi-
nance for perpetual franchise which
was presented through Councilman
Stevenson was defeated by a unani-
nous vote following fiery verbal
bombardment from numerous citi-
zens. Even Councilman Stevenson,
who, in every previous vote on the
two perpetual ordinances, had
favored them, was at this time in
clined to reverse his opinion in the
matter under the urge of hostile pub
lie opinion.
It is rumored that Council may on
Thursday evening, have before it an
other water company ordinance to
grant short term franchise and
which will probably meet with more
friendly action.
The question of sidewalks and
curbs for Beverly will also no doubt
come up, as it is learned that con-
ference was held on Tuesday even
ing of this week by number of
councilmen, including the "anti-An-
derson" majority and one or more of
the fighting majority"
In just what form the sidewalk
question will be renewed is uncertain
due to the reluctancy of the "anti-
Anderson" group TO have the public
know what plans they have in store
for u.s.
However, it can now be safely pre-
dicted that the old steam roller will
not re-appear and the trough treat
ment" given to the Street Committee
and Surveyor Anderson will not be
continued.
The question of sidewalks has be-
come a delicate one and will require
the use of considerable more tact
than has been displayed in recent
months to prevent its reflection in
the coming elections. 1t is common
ly believed that many citizens will
"cut" those candidates who are most
aggressive in the quarter million dol
lar sidewalk scheme. 1t is now GER
tain that the actual sidewalk con-

Another subject witch is due to
come before Council is the raising of
$4,000 for a new school building.
An ordinance providing for it is ex-
pected to be presented at this time.
1t is also possible that the City Solic-
itor may be prepared to report on
the feasibility of attempting to pro-
cure the Farnum School building for
Beverly City. City Council instruct
ed the Solicitor to examine into the
matter about two months ago.
One or more members of the Street
Committee have been approached on
the subject of placing street name
