Samuel Wood, who spent number or
years in the service of Joseph Bonaparte.
the elder brother of the First Emperor,
died in Bordentown Tuesday morning.
Mr. Wood was born in Bordentown in
Bordentown in 1923, says the Newark
Sunday CALI and when boy entered
the service of Bonaparte, who was living
in exile at Bordentown.
When Bonaparte finally left Borden
down in 1899 to return to Europe young
Wood accompanied him. The former King
of Spain spent some time in London and
Park. Seeing many persons swimming In
the Serpentine or artificial lake, he at
tired himself in the conventional rig and
Joined them. John Strachan, founder OF
the National Swimming Society, happened
to be there at the time, and when the
young American came out of the water
he asked him who he was.
Il am Samuel Wood, replied the youth.
Where do you Iive?"
81 am staying al Admiral Cockburn's
house with Joseph Bonaparte,'' said
Wood.
Mr.. Strachan persuaded young Wood to
enter a swimming race which was to be
held in the Serpentine. When the time
came for the race Wood was on hand.
Some thirty thousand people witnessed
the contest. The course was half a mile,
and young Wood won. His time was six
and one-half minutes, and in recognition
of his victory Mr.. Wood received the
champions medal, which was of silver,
about the size of silver dollar. On the
edge of the medal is stamped, Samuel
Wood America" On the reverse is
stamped, National Swimming Society,
Formed by John Strachan, June 80, 1887.
On the diverse surface is inscribed, Lon
don Champion, 1S4O This. was the first
athletic medal ever awarded in England
to a citizen of the United States.
When Bonaparte left London Wood re-
turned to America and settled in Borden-
town In 1S43 he entered the service of a
Spanish gentleman, Don Pedro Alcantara
Argaiz, who lived in Bordentown and
was engaged in the diplomatic service.
When that gentleman left Bofdentown
Wood entered the service of Prince Luz
Glen Murat, and remained with him un-
til he left Bordentown for France in
1S4S.
A few years after the departure of
nIurat, Mr.. Wood accompanied Adolph
dalliard on his pearl trading expedition
to the Columbia Islands. on the coast of
South America Mr.. Wood was with NAL
lard for twelve years.
With the exception of his sojourns in
Europe and South America Mr., Wood
spent his entire life at Bordentown. His
mind was stored with many interest 'ng
"reminiscences of Joseph Bonaparte, Prince
lMurat and the late Sir Henry Beckett.
all of whom were at different times resi-
dents of Bordentown. Mr.. Woods death
was the result of cancer on his face. A
short time ago he presented his medal
and a violin that belonged to the Bona
parte family to Samuel Wood, his name
sake.

RESTRICTION UPHELD.
Only One House Can BE Built On
Two Lots at Highwood.

In the Court of Chancery yesterday Vice
Chancellor Pitney decided a case affecting
restriction clauses in a deed. Charles
Corbin in behalf of Herman Walker, of
Gutenberg, obtained a temporary in
junction to restrain Samuel E. Renner
from erecting two houses on two lots on
the old amusement park known as Ell
dorado. on the ground that the deed for
the property contained a covenant that
only one building should be built on every
fifty feet.
When old Eldorado was sold under fore
closure Herman Walker bought 1S5 of the
2l8 lots sold These lots adjoined other
property which he owned and designated
GIighwood Park. On securing possession
of the Eldorado property Mr.. Walker laid
out the land, cutting streets through. i'm
proving them and marking off building
lots He started in to make it one of the
finest residential sections in the county.
With that end in view, in the maps the
lots were made 25 by 100 feet, but in sell
ing them no less than two lots were sod
to a purchaser and in the deed 1t was
stipulated that but one house was to be
built on each 50 feet and that no out
buildings were to be built less than so feet
from the street line. Frederick Gamm
bought two lots in 1896, and erected there
on a large house. occupying 40 of the 50
feet. In March, 1897. he purchased two
other lots.
In the deed to him 1t was expressly
stimulated that but one house should be
erected on the two lots. On September
10 last Gamm sold the two lots to Samuel
Renner, but in the deeds said nothing
about the restrictions. Renner began to
build house on each Of the twenty-five
foot lots. The frame of one house is up
and the foundation of the other is laid.
Mr.. Walker saw Renner and told him
that he could not legally build two houses
on the two lots as the property was re-
stricted When Renner insisted on going
on with the building Mr.. Walker applied
for and obtained a temporary injunction
to restrain Renner.
The hearing yesterday was on a rule to
show cause why permanent injunction
should not issue. Vice Chancellor Pitney
decided that the work on the two build
ings must cease and that such parts of
them as have been erected must be re-
moved. He declared that Renner is bound
to obey the restrictions and erect but one
house on the two lots which he owns.
