resolutions we're adopted:
WHEREAS, vacancy in, and no presiding
officer for, the Board of the Lambertville
Water Company, is SO we'll known to each
of us, that allusion thereto is unnecessary,
yet as officers of chartered trust, it be-
comes our duty TO note the demise of our

Samuel Lilly, and to place upon our records
some evidence of the fact, and of our re-
spect aud appreciation. Therefore,
ResoIyed. That in the decease of Dir. Sam
uel Lilly the Company have met with severe
loss, by which we are deprived of the active
services, and sound judgment of one of the
prime movers of this enterprise, and whose
name is traced, as one of the original corpor-
ators in 1856, on the extension of the charter
in 1865, and the organization in 1877, by which
he assumed the duties of President, complet-
ed the work, making it success in every
way. :. = r. ID 49, =

virtues, energy, and great respect, we enter
tain for our late fellow-laborer, that copy
of these proceedings be forwarded to the FAM
lily of the deceased under tho seal of the Wat
er Company, that they be published in our
city papers and entered in the book of min
ties. A true copy.] VIM. V. COOLEY.

The Trenton State Gazette says "it Is
really difficult to understand how an intelli-
gent person can get along without the Sunday
Times" No doubt the Gazette can under
stand how intelligent People can get along
without the Times on week days, but It is i'm
dispensahle to their intelligence that they
read the Sunday edition, even if they have to
neglect their Bibles and church services. Still
it must be confessed that a great many people
do get along without any secular Sunday pa
pers whatever, and without any material in
jury to their intelligence.

Boozey, was run over by the midnight freight,
on Saturday night, near Mr. Ralph Ashton's,

had been running around loose and had been
walking over the trestle-work on the railroad
track, when it is supposed it got its feet fast
between the timbers and could not free itself.
The freight train. being bound for this city,
was running at good speed and it ran into and
killed the animal, before its presence was de-
tected. The horse was terribly mutilated.

According to appointment, meeting of
the Juvenile Temperance Society was held in
Lyceum Hall, on last Saturday afternoon
There was good number of the, little folks
present, with bright and smiling faces, ready
to take an active part in the new organization.
The meeting was called to order by the
President then singing by the little ones
led by Miss Maggie Thornton. Reading a
portion of Scripture, and prayer offered by
Chaplain Mcbride, concluded the opening ser
vices.
VIM. Lyman, Esq, gave short address to
the children, which was very appropriate and
we'll received. Then came more singing, aud
reading selection, recitation by the children
following in order, thus filling up the hour
and making the occasion one of interest and
profit to all present.
The society will hole these meetings every
other Saturday afternoon at four o'clock, in
Lyceum Hail. This will make the next meet
and old. Your presence, if nothing more,
will give encouragement to those engaged in
the blessed work of sowing the seeds of
Truth and Temperance, in these tender hearts,
trusting that in the goodness of God it may
spring forth to an abundant harvest. 1t will
doubtless require some sacrifice and labor to
carry on this work.
Miss Ada Titus, Miss Maggie Thornton and
others have kindly volunteered to help the
children in selecting and preparing suitable
pieces for reading or reciting. So, If you have
beautiful poem or some short instructive
stories let the little ones bring them along.
We believe that this work is one that must
commend itself to the judgment of all. L.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT THE TRENTON
ROLLING MILLs.-At about five O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon of last week, Louis Pow
ell, VIM. Obendefer and VIM. Worts were at
work at the "riveter y in the New Jersey
Steel and Iron Works, upon an iron girder,
some twenty five feet long, four or five feet
high, and weighing between five and six tons.
While swinging the girder it struck against
a smaller girder which was standing on end
on the skids. In an instant the upright CIR
der fell to the ground, and in its descent in
Turing the three men named. Powell was
struck across the stomach and did not live but
five or six minutes. Obendefer's head was
caught between the terrible weight of the
girder and the skid rail and crushed in
shocking manner, causing instant DEATH
Worts made an exceedingly narrow escape
being but slightly injured Powell was So
years old and leaves wife and family. OBJ
endefer was 81 years old, unmarried and leaves
a widowed mother of whom he was the chief
support. The Trenton State Gazette says that
Obendefer and Powell were highly spoken OF
by all in the Works, and the tragic manner
in which they were taken off has cast gloom
over the entire establishment.
William Obendefer was well-known in New
Hope, having lived until almost a young man
in the place. The intelligence of his fate
has caused a general feeling of sadness. The
first reports had it that Anthony, Williams
brother, was the one killed, but it turned out
to be William that was the unfortunate ono.

The terrible disaster of Saturday by
which the steamer Narragansett was
burned to the waters edge, is horrible to
contemplate. No words eau portray che
scene when the ship was burning. The
anguished cries of the mother, the des-
pairing sbrieks of the children, the wild
confusion ofthe passengers who were trying
to escape, and the piteous walls of those
who could not swim or be rescued,
forms scene which beggars descrip-
ton. It is not yet known on whom
the responsibility for this calamity
rests, but whoever be guilty. there is no
punishment too severe TO be melted out.
These disasters are becomiug alarmingly
frequent of late and the time has come
tor more rigid examination Of the causes
which lead thereto. Let the present case
be thoroughly investigated, and let every
one who is guilty be punished to the full
est extent the law imposes.
