Herbert Atkinson Died Yesterday After an Illness of Three Weeks- Twenty-twO Wayfarers served With
 Meals by Editor Richards.
 Herbert Atkinson died at 12:30 yester- day, after an illness of three weeks, with typhoid malsrisl fever, aged thirty-eight years. The deceased was one of the best known and popular young men in town, and during his illness there has been a great interest manifested from all sides as to his condition. For several days there has been but little hopes entertained of his recovery, although on Wednesday his symptoms for a time seemed more favor able, but later in the evening he began to sink and the end came soon after noon yesterday. He was an active member and the secretary of St. Pauls Sunday school, and was universally liked and respected by all. For many years he hadlbeen designer at Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co.'s factory. and was considered valuable man by the company. He leaves wife, who has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire commu- nifty in the great bereavement. A little over three weeks ago Marguerite, the eight year. old daughter, died from the same dread disease, and her death caused her father such grief that 1t seemed to break him down from the first and cause him to give up all desire of living. The funeral services will be from St. Paups church Saturday afternoon. Burial in the ''In Memoriam" cemetery.
 The statement furnished by the counsel for w. H. Morse to one of the evening papers and again printed in one or two others as to the decision of Judge Hotchkiss in reference to the demurrer filed by the borough's counsel in It's suit against Morse, while pretending to give the de- cision entire, by some strange accident left out the most vital part of it where the judge held in effect that Morse, in order to have any proper set off for extra esrv- ices must be able to sllege that such serv- ices were ''outside his duties as a commis- sioner" and "upon a promise for stated extra compensation" It seems by this that Morse is efectually shut off from any claim for extra services, and this is prso ticslly sustaining the position of the borough from the start, and makes 1t pretty cure that the borough will secure judg- ment in the end. Of course everybody thinks that Morse claims to have overpaid the borough on one occasion $545 by mis- take is all bosh.
