1t is all right for the township COM
mittee to compel property owners to keep
their walks in order. but what is the
matter with the committee looking after
its own payement2 The strip of walk on
Washington street along the creek in front
of Archer's factory is disgraceful and dan
gerous and If it belonged to a private
individual would have been condemned
long since. Many persons use that side
of the street daily to and from the railroad
station and they are entitled to a good
sidewalk. Get busy.

an easy victory. Mount Holly, however,

some extra players on hand. Fred. Per- |
kins was on first Willie Fischman PLAYED |

club covered left field. They did some
good hitting. Logan, who formerly played |

is confined to his home suffering from
painful injuries received by a peculiar |
accident, James is day operator at the |
station, and one of his duties is to look |
after the switches One of these is turned |
by lever with heavy spring, and it was
while operation this that James lost his
grip and the heavy iron arm swung back
like flash and struck him full In the face. |
Several of his teeth were knocked out and |
his face was horribly bruised. The blow |
knocked the operator down an embank-
ment where he was found by John Warner |
a railroad lamplighter. With the assist
ance of Warner. James hobbled by to his !
office and licked off message to Burling-
ton for assistance. He then stuck to his |
post until train arrived bringing a doctor
and another operator to his relief.
William w. Curtis, one of Mount |
Hclly's most..respected citizens, died sud- /
denly on Wednesday. He was attending
the funeral of Harry E. Lynn. and while |
standing at the grave suddenly began to
show signs of weakness He fell forward
and several persons standing close by him
laid him on the ground. Later he was
placed on cot and taken to the house at
the entrance of the cemetery where ply
sicians attended him, but he probably died
as soon as he fell. So quickly did the oc-
currence happen that few persons at the
cemetery knew that anything had taken
place. Mr.. Curtis was "a years of age.
He had lived in Mount Holly for num-
Der of years, being clerk In the store of
Joseph R. Deacon in the building where
he afterwards began on his own account.
He was a soldier in the war of the rebel
lion. He had been a sufferer from indi-
gestion for long time and had attacks
which affected his heart. On Wednesday
he seemed to be very well and had eaten
hearty dinner. The exertion in walking
up the hill at the cemetery evidently
brought on the old trouble and his heart
gave out.
