On Friday afternoon Officer Severns
found occasion to arrest the notorious
Maggie Bryan out on the hill Although
Maggie was pretty drunk, the policeman
thought he would bring his charge to Jail
by way of Main street, just to let the cit
liens know what character the officers
are so often called upon to deal with, but
the policeman quickly changed his mind
at King street, for the reason that the
prisoner would hurl the most indecent
language at every lady she passed. Mag
gle Bryan is not fit subject to remain in
any respectable community and she should
receive a sentence that would keep her
out of the way for some time.
The announcement by the Camden and
Suburban Railway Company that be-
ginning with Saturday, the trolley cars of
the Haddonfield line would run direct to
Camden, was hailed with delight This
has been the main bone of contention with
many Haddonfield people ever since the
road opened, but now that the cars will
run as originally intended, considerable
of the objection, it is thought, will be re-
moved The cars run down the pike as
far as Kaighn avenue, and then on the
avenue to the ferry. This route will be
taken until the tracks on Haddon avenue
from Starts crossing are laid, when they
will run direct to Federal street ferry.
Heretofore the cars only went as far as
Collingswood, where change was nee
essary, the trip being finished on the
Broadway line through South Camden.
