FAIR HAVEN.

FAlk HAVEN. Now the claim is made by some peo- pie in Fair Haven East borough, that the election of clerk was not legal. They claim that in the call no time was specified at which the polls should close and that several voters called around to vote after the polls were de- clared closed. It is also held that no official ballot was used It is not prob able however, that the matter will be contested and so matters are likely to drift along just as they are. It is the general opinion that John Parker will make a good borough clerk and the vote showed that the people wanted him to serve. This is likely to be the last of the many settlements that the little Fair Haven East municipality has furnished during the present year.
 The death of George w. Jacobs oc- cured yesterday at his home in Graf ton street at the age of seventy-two years.

Jacobs was then in very fair health He leaves besides widow, two sons, Frederick and William Jacobs and a daughter, Mrs. Charles Way. The fu- neral will be conducted Saturday at 3 p. m. and it will be a private funeral. The accident in Grand avenue yes terday morning when Conductor Will liam W Way, jr, of Exchange street, was run over by an automobile, caused much excitement for time. He was struck by the auto in Grand avenue, near Poplar street He had been 8 night conductor and had jumped off of car and was starting for home when the auto came up rapidly from the rear and before he could get out of the way he was hit by the machine. He was knocked down and run over. Way was taken to the office of pr. Roberts who recommended that he have hosplt- al treatment and he was taken to Grace hospital where it was found that one rib and an ankle was fractured. \ Internal injuries may develop, although it was stated that he would recover. Some time ago Way had another acci- dent and he had been out of the hos pital only short time. Opinions were freely expressed yesterday that many autos are run through Fair Haven at too rapid rate and it is a wonder that serious accidents have not been more frequent.
