CAMDEN, N. TUESOAY, JULY 25, 1882. ONE CENT. NUMBER, 2101. A GOOD CATCH OF FISH.

WHO TAKES THE POST A BLAZE LAST NIGHT. PLATING SOLDIEKS. MINNIE'S MURDERER. Mr. Hutchinson were busy getting their coods in shape again, all expressing gratification that the fire was not worse.

Many thought it strange that the crowd was allowed access to the residences, as there was so much damage being done in the removal of goods. The fact is that the fire had gained such a headway when the alarm was given that Chief Carter and his full force had all they could do to prevent a spread of the flames, and could not organize a corps to conduct the removal of the goods or control the movement of the crowd. A Question That Was Promptly Answered B7 A Letter Carrier. "Mr. Petit, a letter carrier in the employ of the United States Government, under Postmaster Wilson, takes the Post.

He presumably takes it because he wants it, and in any event, it is his own business, and a matter into which no one else has a right to inquire. Mr. Petit has his paper left at the post office, and having missed it two or three times he began to aslaquestions concerning it. His questioning came to the ears of Postmaster Wilson who, it is said, called out in the office, "Who is it here that takes the Post Mr. Petit heard of it and at one promptly gave the desired informatiou.

"I do," said he "I take the Post, I pay for it, and I want it." Mr. Petit is one of those men who feels that he has a right to express his honest sentiments, even if he does work for Mr. Wilson, and though he has been a delegate twice for Mr. Robeson, he is now bitterly opposed to that gentleman's re-nomination, and does not hesitate to say boldly that he is for James H. Nixon for Congress, and believes Mr.

Robeson has had enough now, and should step aside and let some new man have a show, rem is an earnest, active Republican, and does not fear the loss of his position or any thing else, claiming theright to "exercise his own free will and choice without dicta tion. It is believed that he is but one of sey eral in the Post Office Department here in Camden, who will vote for Mi. Nixon and perhaps work for him openlv if they feel so inclined. In answer to the question, Who takes the Post?" we have referred to our books and find that there are nearly five thousand different persons who take the Post, and when the proper mathematical computation is made it is found that nearly twenty thousand persons read the Post every evening. We want to be entirely good naturcd in this matter, and a friend at our elbow desires us to add that among others Postmaster Wilson himself reads the Post just as often as he possibly can without letting a Nixon man catch him in the act.

Can such things be, Postmaster? The A. O. U. W. At a meeting of the voters of Atco School District, it was decided that an appropriation of $100 be made for the purpose of completing the interior of the hall over the school room, now occupied by Reliance Lodge No.

Reliance Lodge was instituted about two months ago, by Deputy Grand Master Osmond, who initiated ninteen charter members During that time the member ship has increased to twenty-four, and the names of four applicants for certificates of membership will be presented to the Lodge at its next meeting.

Last Saturday night a special meeting of the Lodge was called for the purose of completing arrangements for an excursion to Atlantic City, Superintendent F. A. Lister, of the Camden and Atlantic road, is a member of a lodge of that order in this city, has generously offered to furnish a train in consideration of a very small percentage of the receipts for tickets collected on the train. Walter Bowyer, engineer, and Al. Smith, conductor have volunteered their services for the day without charge to the Lodge.

Three of the lodges of this city, have taken a number of tickets aggregating 100, and guarantee that none will be returned. The excursion will take place on the 11th of August. floating In The Delaware. The body of an unknown man was found floating in the Delaware this morning at Kaighrr's Point, and was taken in charge by Coroner Leckner. The heighth was 5 feet seven inches, dark and pants, white shir( and a pair of brown stockings.

In the pockets were found a five cent piece, a bottle of whiskey, and a card bearing the name of James M. Brown. The body bore the appearance of having been in the water for two or three weeks. A 'Watermelon Spree. Fred Williams was brought before Justice W.

H. Davis last night, charged by Tillie Rice with disorderly conduct. No substantial proof being brought forth to sustain the charge, he was dismissed. A warrant was immediately sworn out for Tillie Rice, charged with cutting the back out of Fred Williams' coat. The fracas was started by Williams picking up a watermelon at a store in the Seventh ward, and not putting it down when told to.

Tillie was held for her appearance at court A ine Piece of Wax Work. One of the most beautiful and at the same time natural specimens of skill in wax work, is a handsome basket of flowers made by Mrs. Daniel M.

Ed. Post: Japh Townsend's house is known far and wide among the lovers of piscatorial sport, and from that old hotel I am writing you. One hour and forty minutes' ride on the West Jersey Rail road, with a change of cars at Pleasant- ville, will land you at Linwood (the old name was Townsend's Inlet), and a few minutes' walk will bring you in the pres ence of mine host and his amiable wife. The house is situated on the bay, and Lige will be pleased to take you in his nicely fitted yacht, Ida Palmer," out to the best fishing grounds (why not water?) in the "kentry," It was the fortune of your correspondent to meet a party of gentlemen bent on having a good time, and who were willing to take the modest scribe and his more modest friend, a Camden sprig of the law, under their protecting care. These gentlemen were such generally good fellows that I cannot refrain from mentioning them by name.

They were: W. L. Powell, a Philadelphia drummer; Messrs. Kerper and Reamer, of Harrisburg; Messrs. Paul and Levering, of Gernian- town5, Messrs.

Redilef-and Marshall, of Philadelphia, and the two innocents from your city aforesaid. The mosquitoes certainly had a picnic during a ride to Somers' Point on Satur-. day night, the whole party being jammed into a one-horse express wagon with "Tom Ireland" as driver. Tom is a character in his way, and so well known by the "skeeters" that he said they never bit him, and judging from the number that devoted their time to your humble ser vant, I am inclined to believe him. One energetic "Jersey skeeter" can do more to stir up a thin skinned, conscientious young man than anything else I can think of just now, and when all the rela tives of said insect turn in to assist the blarsted little thing," each one with additional energy, the young man is pardonable should he indulge in a wish that all the tribe were in a place which Bob Ingersoll says is not.

Yes, we went fishing, and a glorious time we had, too. The Camden disciple of Blackstone wishes it known that he landed the first and largest fish, a whap- ping flounder. The entire catch of the day was not above the average, Lige" said, but I am constrained to give you the figures anyway, and here they are Flounders, 10 king fish, 10 sheepshead 0(1 uon'flie); weak fish, 91, and black fish without number. As in all fishing parties, there was a "Jonah." The truth ful young man from Camden (myself) was unanimously decided the dummy in this instance. One word in reference to the accommodations here.

You are at liberty to put on a blue shirt, an old pair of pants, slippers and a straw hat, and enjoy yourself. Food of the very best cooked excellently, and served in profusion. Do not take my word for it, but try for yourself, and if you do not rale this the best, quiet resting place, you have ever visited, 1 will forfeit my life-long reputation for veracity. H. M.

8. How a Drunken Han Was Saved. Bcblington, N. July 24. William Meighan, a drunken man, threw himself on the down track of the Pennsylvania and Amboy Railroad, last evening four miles below here.

1 The driver of the half, past 7 o'clock up freight train, which was going at full speed, happening to catch a glimpse of him, stopped at the next station below Burlington and telegraphed news of the fact up the line. The men in charge of the express train leaving here at a-quar ter 8 were notified just as they were moving out of the "depot Thev cautiously steamed down towards the spot and the engineer seeing a black object in front of him on the track put down the brakes. The train was brought to a stop within a foot of the object, which proved to be William Meighan. He was thrown into a baggage car and put out at the next station. But for the freight engineer telegraphing up the line Meighan would have undoubtedly been killed, as if the train had been going at its usual speed it would have been impossible to have stopped in time.

Excelsior, July 22. J. M. Scovel, Dear Sib: I am in receiptor yours dated Camden, N. 617, '82, via Newark, N.

where I have not been except on a visit, 'since July, 1876, having come to this great State in that year, and located in log cabin "The Hermitage," on the shore of beautiful Lake Minnotoutla. I have read your letter, published in The Post, of Camden, N. June 17, of which you enclosed me a copy. Had I UCCU tl il IV VV. JJ vuv, I Morris R.

Hamilton (our Morry) in the famous campaign of 1860, I should cer- with iViA Trpflf- laiuir 11a. yiavvw Fusion-ticket crowd, with Theo 0 doreRunyon, who, like Morry, was loud in his asseverations of devotion to Stephen A. Douglass, even editing a paper Jor a time in his interest, until after a certain conference of the boss old Hunker Democratic leaders of New Jersey in New York, at which, if I remember Bright, he wss present, and then he soft- ened and fused, hoping to bring in the whole straight Douglass party. But he was mistakeu. M.

R. Hamilton, if I am not mistaken, whs located at Newton in I860 publishing a paper, and was for Douglass, until 'Fowler misled him. Sam. Fowler repented of Breckinridgism, and went out to the war as Colonel of a New Jersey Regiment. M.

R. Hamilton then, I think, went to Camden, and if there for a time he remained true to Stephen A. Douglass, he certainly yielded to. the Fusion scheme, which you and I sturdily resisted, and fought to-the bitter end, and with the 8000 more or less straight Douglass votes, gave' four votes to Lincoln, and elected some of the original straight Douglass electors. In Newark I was seconded by Doctor Milton Baldwin, and the present republican sheriff, William Wright.

I well remember the Astor House meeting, soon after the Fusion ticket was adopted, in which we drew up, signed and afterwards published our manifesto against Fusion, and resolved to vote only the straight Douglass ticket, ivhich resolution we carried out at the polls. I remember how, contrary to my advice "that no name r-should be attached to our address and resolutions and printed except of those resent and signing," or whose consent we ad in writing, that advice was overruled in the case of Jake Yannatta. A delegate from Newtown at one meeting that he had seen and talked with Yannatta at Morristown that morning, -and he was in full accord with us in our projected wrath against the bosses, and was for Douglass against the field. I still protested against using the name of any one ho was not present in person, or by letter, but was overruled. Vannatta's name was included in our list, and soon after he, like M.

R. H. and T. went for Fusion, with Breckenridge, Lane, Bell and Everett, and at their tirst ratification in Newark, I was denounced loudly for the use of Vannatta's name, which you well know protested against printing amongst the out and out Douglass men. in- n.w tv 1 e- Li- AO can a lougiass man, lor ins position in the summer of I860, and after voting the Fusion ticket, would be like calling Chancellor Runyon, a veteran warrior, for marching so gaily with his Brigade of Jerseymen to Washington in the spring of 1861, supentending the construction of forts near that city, remaining .1 i 1U iucuj nunc xruii tt ma nuu I MMIni KAtnA f.

Plume, a veteran, whose record is of the 'extreme length (as per New Jersey's record) of about seventeen months, and then resigning in the face of the enemy. Out with all such brilliant soldiers, say 1 We have too many of them strutting about with fuss and feathers, at the expense of me state, iorgeiting now unnecessary it is to make machine soldiers to defend this country, volunteers fresh from the plow, loom and anvil in the last great war for the Union, as in all ware from the -earliest history of the country, being equal to any emergency, and they have shamed on many battle fields, the boasted superi ority of the Regulars, from Braddock's day with Washington and his riflemen, to George B.

McClellan, with his pet Fitz John Porter, with all their boasted West ruiui BUmiuxuj, auu tucj uiu ujr fighting in true Phil. Kearney style, the typical Volunteer General of the late war. My experience during the war was, that 11 you met a Democrat, in nine cases out often, he was a straight Douglass democrat, and was proud of his leader, who, when Sumpter was firei on, went to the White House, and told the after-martyr President, "I am for my Conntry first, arty second. I will sustain you, Mr. lincoln, with men and means in all efforts to suppress Rebellion.

I am always proud to say I was a straight Douglass man, as I am proud now to be known always and at all limes as an anti-third-timer, against Grant, or any other man." Yours, Geobob B. Halbted. The young folks are making great preparations to go on the G. A. R.

Beeond 8t THE CONSTERNATION CAUSED BY A FIRE. Twelve Thousand Dollars' Worth ef Property Destroyed. The first large fire that the northern portion of this city has had for a long time occurred last night about 8.15 o'clock. A large three-story brick building, occupied by T. H.

Hayes curriers and finishers of leather, at No. 314 North Front street, was completely burned out. The building, which was sixty feet deep and twenty feel in width, adjoined two dwelling houses on the south side, the one next to it being occupied by Nicholas Wenzelle, the other by Captain John Hutchinson, superintendent of the West Jersey Ferry Company. Both these gentlemen suffer considerable loss. The flames were first discoyered by Patrick Killmartin, a night watchman at the Linden Worsted Mills, owned by Croft, Midgley Rommell.

Mr. Killmartin had just finished his work inside and walked out front, when" the flames burst out of a front window. He immediately ran to Front and Cooper streets to give the alarm, but no one seeming to know where the key to the box could be found, considerable time was lost before the fire department was in service. The fire was probably burning some time inside the building before the flames burst out, as the whole three stories were in a blaze immediately afterward, and be fore the firemen were on the ground. Mr.

Wenzelle saw that his house would pro-bably burned, and assisted by a gang of men and boys at once set about removing the furniture. Mr. Hutchinson followed suit, and for a time the crowd had a full swing at the goods of these two gentlemen. Bedsteads were thrown from the windows along with toilet sets, looking glasses, and other breakable articles, while beds and clothing were tenderly carried down stairs. Many articles of value werestolen.

Officer Ware caught one boy running away with a basket of things, but could not arrest him at that time. As an illustration of the judgment of some people during excitment, an honest and well disposed man carried two dozen eggs, a silver tea spoon, and a small glass dish, containing a spoonful of preserved fruit, from Captain Hutchinson's house to Mrs. French's at the corner of Front and Cooper, for preservation, while he left behind articles of much greater value. Mr. Wenzelle's loss is quite heavy.

The third story was completely burned out, and the lower rooms thoroughly soaked with water, the loss, however, being principally in broken and stolen furniture. His loss will reach about $1,000. The third story of Captain Hutchinson's housewas burned out, but no damage was done to the lower stories. The goods had all been removed from the first and second floors, while the third was untouched, and there only the fire reached, A large amount of winter clothing was burned, including silk dresses, furs, and other valuable articles. No fair estimate of the loss could be made, but it is fully covered by insurance.

Four two-story houses on Centennial avenue, in the rear of the burning buildings, were in danger of catching fire, and bystanders generously assisted in removing the furniture, the manner in which they worked showing more than discretion. The people residing on Penn street above rront were in immi nent danger for a time, and nearly all of them began moving their valuables to I ares of safety. Miss Jennie Basnet t. re siding at 323 Penn street, carried two va lises tilled with siyer squares through the crowd, where, if she had known it, they were not so safe as in the silver closet, from which they were taken. MrsMaling, No.

3 Centennial avenue, was away from home, and upon her return, about 9.15, found that the obliging crowd had broken into her house and removed all the furniture to a neighboring yard. The houses on Second street above Penn, directly back of the burning buildings, were made so hot by the flames which at times shot far above the walls, that Mr. John W. Yeatts, of No. 309, and Mr.

Welling Schrack, of No. 311, had their furniture and goods packed, and some of it removed to places of safety. The Linden Worsted Mill, on the north side of the burning building, was slightly damaged by water, the windows being broken, etc. The losses are as follows T. H.

Hayes $4,000, fully insured Captain John Hutchinson, about $700, covered by insurance; Nicholas Wenzelle, $1,000, fully The building has recently changed owners, Captain William Scudder having sold it to a Mr. Leeds, of Philadelphia. It was insured in the North American for $2,000. The loss will reach about $6,000. The origin of the fire is only conjectured, but was probably caused by spontaneous combustion of cotton waste.

The machinery used in the leather split ting business was not very valuable, but the stock on hand was pretty heavy. The burning leather combined with severe 1 barrels of kerosene, and finishing oils, made a very hot fire and dense smoke. TIia mjt fall in witK friich OA sending the sparks higher in the air and making a beautiful scene, one not often equalled by a pyrotecnic display. This morning at v.w a Post reporter visited the scene of the conflagration. The maine building is entirely gutted, nothing but the bare walls and a few charred timbers remaining.

The families on Centennial avenue and Mr. Wenzelle and A SET-BACK FOR THE PORT ORAM VILLAIN. His Shoes Found In the Canal. Where He Waded la to Complete His Bloody Work. James Treglown, charged with the murder of Minnie Chergwin, at Port Oram, N.

is still in the jail at Morristown, and spends 'most of his time learning to 1 a reaa, a leiiow-prisoner being bis tutor. For some time after his capture a great deal of sympathy was expressed for him, and a subscription was even started to hire counsel for him. People felt pity for the ixuir wrptrh mn Irillorl nk. ject of. his affection in a moment of jealousy, and the theory that he had intended to kill Henry James, her lover, had missed him and jccidentallr shot Minnie, who then by accident fell in-, to the canal, found many believers.

Recent developments have, however, thrown some additional light on the matter. It wss observed by some one that Treglown did not wear the same shoes he, had worn wnen ne leu rori uraui. inquiry elicited the fact that he had not been furnished with any shoes by farmer Mc-Peek or the prison authorities. Last week the mystery was explained. The canal company, for the purpose of making some repairs, drained the water on thfl cnnnl IpvpI in which Winnie hnAw was found.

Henry James and a few others thinking that the bottom of the canal here might throw some light on what had occurred when Minnie and Treglown were alone together, made a search, and in the mud of the bottom of the canal found both of the shoes worn byTreg-town on the night of the murder. The feeling of sympathy for Treglown received a considerable set back from this for it now appears evident that-Treglown threw the girl into the canal and then waded in after her to make sure of his work. When Treglown was arrested it found that four of the cham bers of his revolver were empty he had fired only two shots at James and one at Minnie, and the public were left in doubt for some time as to what had become of the fourth bullet until it was explained by the jail physician. After the shooting and after wandering through the woods for some lime, Treglown attempted suicide. He placed the pistol at his temple but the angle was too oblique, for the bullet glanced off the scalp and was subsequently found imbedded under the right eye.

It is expected that the trial of Treglown will take place some time in the tore part of November. A Narrow Kscape. A runaway occurred yesterday afternoon on West and Washington streets, that came near resulting in serious injury to several parties. The horse was being driven by William II. Shearman, Supervisor of Highways, accompanied by Coun cilman 1 ieuier.

tfotn gentlemen were thrown from the vehicle, Mr. Pfeiffer being dragged for some and considerably bruised. Mr. Audubon Davis, of the Courier, who was passing at the time, accompanied by his little boy, narrowly escaped being run over. T4no9ta.Jr'" T' wife are recruitiug at the Hotel Windsor, Cape May.

Those who do not have their say on Thursday night next are expected to forever after hold tbelr peace. Frank Adams, residing on Burlington street, hearing an unusual nolfte on night, got np, and proceeding to a bscn window noticed a man standing in the back yard. As soon as the prowler discovered he was being watched, he Jumped over the fence, and, pausing through the yard of Charles rollings, disappeared down the street.
