OBITUARY..

A cloud of sorrow settled over every
home in Somes' Point and its influence
was felt by every resident along the
Shore when the sad announcement was
received that Conductor Joseph H.
Somers, who for SO many years has had
charge of the Branch train, had been sud
denly killed cut off without Il moments
warning. Mr.. Somers was, without a
doubt, one of the best known and most
popular men in the county, and III his
death, Somers' Point loses one of its most
respected and prominent citizens; his
family, loving husband and father; his
acquaintances, loyal friend; and the
Railroad Company, faithful and expert
enced employee. Early life Mr.. Somers
assumed charge of the stage line from
Somers' Point to Absecon, until the
Branch road was built, when he accepted
a position as baggage master, but when
the road soon after fell into he hands of
the West Jersey system, he was made
conductor, a position which he has held
ever since He took unto himself wife
some twenty years ago, whom he now
leaves with six children, two daughters
and four sons. to mourn his sudden de-
mise He was Councilman of the
Borough, and leading member OF the i'm
portant committees, was District Clerk
in which he took great interest. He
was also Il member of several secret So
cieties, being Noble Chief of Bayside Cas-
tie, X. Of &. E., member Of the Odd Eel
lows and Knights Of Pythias, also Of the
Conductors Association. He has gone
from those who loved and respected him,
but his pleasant, good hearted and gen
temanly ways and kindnesses will re
main green in the minds Of the present
generation at least, and his place on the
road will never be filed i'll the minds of
the residents Of this portion Of the county
| who knew him 50 well.

THE COUNTY JAIL.
Its Condition Viewed by a Grand Inquest and
Condemnatory Verdict Rendered.


The poor condition ofthe County Jail
at Mays Landing having been so fully
shown, and the negligence of the County
Board of Freeholders innot taking some
action in the matter being so thoroughly
proven, it became necessary to invoke
the aid of higher authorities. The floor
of the jail is below the leTel of the ground,
and after every rain the temperature is
almost as fiigid as that Of "a refrigerator,
and under these conditions delicate
prisoner would be likely to contract a
fatal illness. The water pipes are also
too small to properly convey the water
and even slight rain foods the floor Of
the jail. That this state OF affairs really
exists was made apparent when the
Grand Jury, last week, held ali inquest
on the structure and rendered the follow
ing verdict:
