The report of the Amboy Division
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, for
1889, shows material decrease IN the
number of accidents compared with
previous years. During the year 10
persons were either killed or injured.
Of this number so were employees, OF
whom Is we're killed. Four employees
and II men were struck while walking
on the tracks. OF the employees killed
two lost their lives while on duty.
The remains of drowned man were
found in the Delaware river, near Riv-
erton, Thursday afternoon, OF last

gray hair and whiskers, and dressed in
the garb of a laborer. There was
nothing upon his person by which he
could be Unidentified. The remains were
removed to Burlington, and Coroner

Friday afternoon and granted burial
permit.
We clip the following from the
Richmond, Va, Dispatch: Rev. w.
E. Needham, the pulpit artist, gave a
number of pictures last night at Ven
able Street church. His drawings are
wonderful, and he ranks with Mast for
rapidity. While the sketch grows
under his hand he talks freely, thereby
enforcing the caricature or scene.
Mr.. Needham will give an exhibition
of his skill in the Odd Fellows Hall
on next Monday evening. Come one,
come all.

fair of Beverly Fire Co. No. l, in
charge owing to other entertainments

The managers at the meeting Tuesday
evening concluded to hold the fair at
this late date, as other societies and
churches have billed entertainments for
the time at which it was decided in
December to hold the annual fair.

MED the motion to strike out the cross
