While Mrs Charles H. Eel and Mrs.
Ackley were out driving few days since,
they had narrow escape from meeting
with serious injury at the railroad cross
ing at Edgewater Park that has been fatal
to so many. As they neared the crossing
they did not see the rapidly approaching
train. Some one on the other side of the
track called to them to hurry over, and
then called to stay back. The ladies
quickly pulled the reins just in time to
escape demolition and death, perhaps.

The Beverly and Edgewater Park Elec-
trio Company operated their plant Satur-
day evening for the first time by lighting
the city by arc electric lights. Although
the evenings lighting was only an exper-
iment, yet it was stamped as being sue
cess the moment the current was turned
on. The whole town inadvertently
seemed to take on holiday attire and
everybody, from the small boy to the
rheumatic old man, got out into the
street to pass comment. At the Office and
works of the company, on Cooper street,
fully 300 people passed in and inspected
the plant and expressed their admiration
on its completeness. The company an

A device which will be appreciated by
railroad passengers is the new self-open-
ing window, which is released and flies
up when knob is pulled. The Pennsyl-
vania has adopted it for all of its new pas
senger coaches.
The travel to the seashore was unprec-
edently large on Saturday and Sunday.
The great majority of the passengers went
to the shore resorts to remain over the
Fourth, but the large amount of trunks
and other heavy baggage handled showed
that cottagers and season visitors were
moving in considerable numbers.
Saturday was the first big rush of the
season, and it was handled admirably by
the railroads. This was especially true at
the Pennsylvania Railroads ferries and
Camden depot.
Double the number of trips were made
by the ferryboats as compared with last
season, and there was no delay in han
ding passengers or baggage or in sending
out trains on the new schedule time. The
Atlantic City Railroad ran 159 cars to the
shore on Saturday and 106 Sunday. On
the Pennsylvania lines 12l carloads were
carried Saturday and fifty-seven Sunday.
Owing to the change in the time table
of the Medford branch of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, the farmers who supply the
Camden depot with milk, are now COM
PEELED to drive to Halnesport and Medford
as their previous supply facilities have
been cut off.
Christian Rosen, the fourteen-year-old
son of a wealthy Merchantville resident,
was struck and killed by the Long Branch
express at Park avenue crossing, Mer-
chantville, at $50 o'clock, Friday night
The young man was walking along the
tracks, and failed to see the approaching
express in time to get off the tracks. He
was taken to Cooper Hospital, Camden
where it was found a blood vessel had
been ruptured in the head. He died at
that institution shortly after being adj
mitted.

fall seasons the railroad gardens are re-
freshing to look on. The station agents
take great pride in the appearance OF
their grounds, and the company employs
a force of workmen, who move along the
line, attending to the heavy work. The
station gardens are not the only feature
of the road scenery. Between them are
beautiful banks. clothed in refreshing
green, which extend to the straight and
even pathways beside the tracks. The
unsightly stretches of dirt banks which
are such prominent features of many rail-
roads are missing on the Pennsylvania,
and in their place the thrifty growth OF
green sward, which serves valuable,
practical as we'll as picturesque purpose,
by preventing washouts in many cases,
when otherwise heavy rains would wash
away the loose soil.

Mrs. Lippincott Again.

One of the many alleged forgeries Of
Mrs. Julia G. Lippincott, formerly pro-
prietress of Haddon Hall, Atlantic City,
resulted on Thursday in placing her in
Moyamensing prison. and brings her for
the first time within the jurisdiction Of a
Pennsylvania court. The charge in this
case, which was heard by Magistrate Pole,
is forging the name of her foster sister,
Mary A. Haines, to mortgage on which
IS, 900 was advanced by the United Sc
curity Insurance and Trust Company, OF
Philadelphia. and uttering the mortgage
in Pennsylvania. At the hearing Mrs.
Lippincott was defended by R. 0. Moon
and ex-Judge Carrow, of Camden, while
]. c. Bell and J. l.. Caven conducted the
prosecution.
In 1887 Mrs. Lippincott opened nego-
tiations with the Atlantic City agent of
the United Security Company. A part of
their business is to advance portion of
the amount called for by any life insur-
ance policy when security is furnished,
and Mrs. Lippincott. holding policy for
$4,000. gave the mortgage as security. 1t
was for $4,000 on some property
owned by Mary A. Haines, at Medford,
and the money was duly paid to her. the
Real Estate Title and Trust Company in
surfing the title to the property and the
mortgage.
Much evidence in the handwriting of
Mary A. Haines was produced to show
forgery by comparison with the signature
on the mortgage. The witnesses were
sharply cross-examined by counsel for the
prisoner, whose defense, however, was
the expiration of the statute of limita-
ton. The signature resembled the hand
writing of Mrs. Haines very closely, ex-
cent in the formation of the capital letter
IN" in Mary.
Mrs. Haines denied signing the mort
gage, and disclaims connection with the
entire correspondence relating to the mat
ter, which passed between Mrs. Lippin-
colt and the company, and which was
produced and read. She also denied re-
ceiving any of the $4,000.
When both sides had closed, Magistrate
Pole held that the statute of limitation
applies only to residents of Pennsylvania,
and as nonresident he held Mrs. Lip
pincott In So, 900 bail for court. She could
not secure the necessary bonds, and went
to prison.
Mrs. Lippincott has already been tried
seven times on charges of forgery; five
times in Camden and twice in Atlantic
county, but has so far managed to escape
punishment Her alleged forgeries foot
up to over 100000.

al Destructive Fire.

About half-past six O'Clock, on Saturday
evening, fire broke out in the barns on
the farm of Charles Evan, at Unionyille
The horses had just been put in for the
nights feed, and the man who attended
to their wants had left the barn. He had
not gone far when he heard cracking
noise, and, looking back, saw that the
barn was on fire.
The flames appeared to be between the
first and second floors. The first thought
was, of course. for the horses, but the fire
spread rapidly and only one animal could
be taken from the barn, and he was SO
badly burned that it was necessary to kill
him. Four other horses persisted in the
flames. In addition to the stock, Mr.,
Evan lost several wagons and machines
and his crops. There were five tons of
old hay in the barn, and 20 tons of new
hay, the last lot of which had just been
housed.
1t is thought that the fire was caused by
a horse stepping on match, although the
position in which the fire was when first
discovered between the first and second
floors-would indicate otherwise. The
farm house was in great danger several
times, but luckily did not take fire.
Mr.. Evan estimates his loss at over
81, 500. His stock and crops were insured
tor So 900 and his buildings for 81 300.
