The stone wall that is being built in
front Of the Cedar Green Cemetery has been
progressing finely until a week ago, when
they received orders from Edward Moore
TO stop building the wall where they had
started to enclose "a road which runs up the
side of the cemetery and into an open field.
BYin vestigation the cemetery association
found that David Oliver who lives next to
the cemetery had made an appeal TO Mr..
Moore to have it stopped, and he did. In
an interview with one of the cemetery COM
mittee one day last week we learned that
the ground where they had built the wall
belongs to them and that they had papers
to show it, but Mr.. Moore claimed that his
father willed it to the cemetery association
but it was never to be enclosed, but as the
road was not on the Borough map and as it
was no good for anything or to anybody
but David Oliver, and be did not own an
inch of it, they thought they would inclose
the road, which would much improve the
looks of the cemetery, but as Mr.. Moore
objected, they will have to take up the
stone that was laid across the road, and
make new entrance TO the cemetery which
will make the expense considerably heavier
and will delay the completion of the wall
about two weeks.
A fire very mysteriously took place in the
power house at Pierces Glass Plant on Sat-
urday evening which would have doubtless
burned the whole plant down had it not
been for the new fire alarm that was re-
Gently put up in North Clayton. The fire
was first discovered by Hiram Lemon,
shearer, who notified Joel Harris, the en-
gineer of the power house. Harris and
Lemon promptly started in search for the
fire, and on opening a door to the boiler
room it was found to be ablaze. Harris
sprang through the flames to blow the
whistle but found that the rope had burned
of, so Lemon gave the alarm, but as it had
never been rang before the people did not
recognize it at first, but when the general
alarm was rang by Frank Batten the fire
company quickly responded, also the whole
community and found the fire raging, and
as it was in the middle of the building and
between two roofs. Things looked rather
dubious for awhile, but after one hour 0
hard fighting by our fireman and others the
fire was extinguished with only the loss of
the one building and part Of its contents,
which will amount to about 81, 900 dam
ages.
