Serious Accident.
Last Tuesday night, as Mr.. Dennis V {.
L. Schenck, of Delaware township, was
coming into the city, ON his way to
church, in his two-horse carriage, and
while ON North Main street, between
York aud Delavan, it came into collision
with another carriage, driven by Chas
McCready. The accident occurred at a
point between two dimly-lighted street
lamps, which, owing to their dazzling
effect, did more harm than good, inso-
much that they didnot see each other.
Mr.. Schenck's wagon was suddenly up.
set and Mrs. Schenck was thrown with
her head against the curb stone, max
ing a serious wound in her forehead
Mr.. Scbenck and his wife being in
the closed wagon-top, they were drag
ged till some one took the horses by
the head and rescued them from the
danger they we're in. Mrs. Schenck was
taken into house near by and at once
put under medical treatment for her
wounds. Mr.. Schenck was also bruised
on his left shoulder, but not seriously.
The wagon was somewhat broken, but
the horses were unipjured. Some per-
sons passing on the sidewalk at the time
of the accident say the fault was in the
badlY-lighted streets, which have given
rise to many other accidents. If our city
pays for lights in our streets it ought to
have them, and our authorities should see
that the lamps give proper light

An agent of the United State Fish
Commission is coming to this State soon to
investigate the condition of the millions
of salmon and lake trout hatched aud dis.
tributed by the New Jersey Commission.
This work was carried on from 1878 Ia
1889, and IL is claimed there is absolutely
nothing to show for the money expended.
A few salmon have been taken in the
Delaware, one Of which, caught at Tren-
ton, April 5, 1878, weighed 23i pounds,
but for few years back salmon has not
been taken from the rivers Strange fish
have also been seen in our lakes, but not
caught Up to the present time there is
no evidence to show that salmon or lake
trout have obtained hold on our waters.

prove what tho trouble is, The propaga-
ton OF sbad in the Delaware has been a

The Revival in Lambertvilic.
1t cannot be said that the revival now
going on in this city is unprecedented.
There have been several in the past forty
years that have shown greater numbers of
converts; but in some respects the present
is unique. Never before has a large ma
jority of the stores closed in the evenings,
as has been dose for eight or ten nights
past; and never before has there been
less nervous excitement shown than in the
quiet but earnest meetings now being
held by the Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist churches of this city. At all
these churches there is deep interest, and
the prospect is that many more will be
added to the numbers already protesting
conversion.

the hall being full. Mr.. William Lauer
presided and conducted the opening ex-
ercises-Rev. Mr.. Dilks assisting.
VIM. G. Ryan, Esq, of Doylestown,
Pa, was the speaker of the afternoon and
gave us many good ideas and suggestions,
as appearing from his standpoint, that of
lawyer. He suggested more practical
work, while not disappearing of the or
binary methods. He cited several prac-
tical results, closing up saloons and hotels
where the laws had been violated, which
had been brought about by the w. c. T.
Unions Of Bucks county. More stringent
laws than we now have are needed, but
we need more thorough enforcing of
the laws we have.
Public sentiment is too lax here on the
liquor question. 1t needs educating to q
higher standard, so that an offence against
the liquor laws would be considered as
heinous as the violation of any other law
These aud many other valuable ideas
were given us. AT the conclusion of the
address, on motion of Mr.. Amos Smith, a
vote of thanks was given the speaker.
Rev. Mr.. Lynch also made short ad-
dress, emphasizing and supplementing
some of the points Of the address.
