a Chapter OF Accidents.


Friday of last week was a melan-
choly day for the Batten families, of
Linden, for William, Thomas and
John Batten, and other members of
their families all met with startling
accidents; but Williams was fata
one, and its irt announcement, com.
ing so suddenly, wss hardly credited.
The particulars, which we have
gathered from q reliable source, are
about as follows:
Quite early in the morning Will
liam Batten, jovial, hale and hearty,
started from his home for load of
posts, which he was hauling from
timber land owned by him adjacent
to the village of Highland. The day,
you'll remember, was hot and sultry;
nothing unusual had occurred dur
ing the trip, but on nearing home,
owing to the extreme heat, 1t is sup
posed, he was doing OF asleep, and
his team wandered from the beaten
roadway, tipping the load over and
ontc his body, only the lower limbs
and head being uncovered 10y the
posts. Death is supposed to have
ensued instantly, and he probably
died without pain. lie was found
by Mrs, Lee and another lady, who
drove thai way, and they immediate
" gave notice Of the accident to
his family and the parties living near
the spot where it occurred. Tue
body had lain nearly an hour before
twas discovered, and the horses
were quiet y browsing near by.
The funeral, last Sunday, was very
largely attended, both by neighbors
and citizens of adioiningvillagcs aud
| towns.
Mr.. Batten came to Linden forty
years ago--had spent the last thirty
years on bis farm, two miles west of
the village of Linden-and vas well
known by almost everybody in this
vicinity; he was an active, consistent
member of the NJ. L Church, a peace.
loving citizen, and his horrible end.
ing Of life is regretted by all.
John Batten and Thos Batten, Jr.,
on going to the scene of William
Ratten's death, while crossing or
riding alongside ditch, made to
drain a mud-hole, met with nearly a
fatal accident One of the hind
wheels slid into the ditch, which so
suddenly cramped the wagon that
both were thrown forward onto the
| horses and close TO their heels. Thos.
crawled out under the wagon, but
John was TOO much stunned to do
this. Fortunately, a Mr.. Holman,
and other gentlemen, who were close
by, grabbed the horses by their bri-
dies, and John was helped out. Be
sides the breaking Of the wagon
tongue, and the bruises and scratches
received by John Batten, no other
damage was done.
Thomas Batten, and his son.in-law
a Mr.. Vickerman, while engaged in
hauling stone to the village of Eden,
had an ugly and dangerous runaway.
Both were riding on the load, when,
for some cause unseen and unknown
to the gentlemen, the team began to
plunge from side 10 side and to run
away. Mr.. v, who was driving, in
in his efforts to hold them, was thrown
t, the ground, dragged some distance
and was finally compelled to let them
go. During the dragging of Mr.V.
on the ground, the wagon was over
turned, which threw Mr.. y amongst
the falling stone, badly bruising him
on the face, head and shoulders.

1t was a rare night for amusement at
Library hall last night, for one of the
best farcical comedies aver written was
played by j. B. Polk and company.
The acting WAS all that could be de.
sired, and the audience was immensely
entertained.
But there was general regret that
such an excellent cast should have such
a poor management. No programmes
we're provided the audience. 1t WAS
stated that they were at the express Of
ice, but for some unexplained reason
the management hadn't enough ''strate-
gists'' among its number to get them
out Of said express office. At all events
the audience were entitled to pro
grammes, and 1t was the duty Of the
travelling management to furnish them.
We doubt not that if the fact had been
made known in time to Mr.. Rhodes he
would have had some printed-and it
does seem strange that the manager OF
the "Strategists" should lack the stra-
tegy to provide them.
