nine years of age, died on Tuesday ev-

in Philadelphia, Saturday morning and
/ funeral services were held from the

ruff was victim of hasty consump-
tion A few years ago he built resi-
dence on Pitman avenue and was one
of our most progressive citizens. He
had been secretary of the Board of
Trade since it's organization. The
4 large number of regular and summer
residents who attended the obsequies
attested to the esteem in which he was
held. His Pitman avenue friends, also
4 the Board of Trade, sent beautiful
floral emblems. Mr.. Woodruff leaves
a widow but no children to mourn his
loss.
In passing from one cottage to anoth-
er on Wednesday afternoon last, John
Lupton, Sr., had some snow to cling
to his shoes which caused him to slip
and fall as he entered the door In
falling he struck and overturned an
old stove which exploded and the
cottage was instantly ablaze. Mr..
Lupton was severely burned on the
face Fortunately John Lupton, Jr.,
had just come from school and was on
the second floor when the mishap oc-
cured. He rushed down stairs and
got his father out, otherwise Mr.. Lup-
ton, owing to his disability, might have
/ suffered much worse than he did as
Mrs. Lupton was in another cottage
and did not witness the accident. An
alarm was sounded and the fremen
arrived in time to save the greater
part of the cottage, although the in
side was practically ruined and a por-
ton of the rear was burned.
