Hamilton Thompson, aged "a years,
residing In Bordentown, met with an ac-
cident Sunday night which resulted in his
death. In going into the house he made
a misstep and fell backwards to the pave
ment and died from hemmorrhages. He
was widower and leaves two children,
one son and daughter, both of whom are
married. He was a son of the late George
w. Thompson, who at one time was
mayor of Bordentown.
Mrs. Emma V. Gaskill, wife of Israel
Gaskill. died at the home of her husband,
in Philadelphia, yesterday. She had been
great sufferer for six years. She fell
from bicycle, striking her head against
trolley rail. From this blow she became
helpless invalid, losing the power of
movement and speech, and was not able to
make her wants known in any manner.
She perhaps knew what was said to her as
she would give evidence to that effect but
was not able to make any answer to ques-
tions propounded to her.
There was large gathering of lawyers
and citizens at Columbus on Thursday,
when the Freeholders appointed by the
court met to decide on the necessity of
new road from Main Street to the Penn
sylvania Railroad depot via Mrs. Calvert's
yard Attorney Shmuel W. Shinn protest
ed in behalf of Mrs. Calvert against
building 40-foot road across her land,
while the Pennsylvania Railroad company
was represented by Gaskill & Gaskill. and
protested against running the road so near
the depot. Attorneys George Hillman
and Harold B. Wells represented the ap
plicants for the road. After viewing the
proposed road and hearing arguments
from the lawyers the Freeholders decided
that the road was necessary and approved
the course mapped out by the surveyors.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice John Magee at the City Hall, Bor-
dentown, on Friday afternoon, when
George Emery brought suit against Harry
Woodward for damages sustained by him
in collision that occurred last September
at Cookstown. The evidence was that
Emery was driving from Cookstown to
New Egypt at night, his horse being on
the right hand side of the road. All of
sudden the horse of Woodward doomed up
out of the darkness and though Emery
had jerked his horse into the ditch as near
the fence as possible yet the two wagons
collided, breaking Emery's down and
causing him from $35 to $50 damage
Emery claimed that he was as far to the
right as he could get, that Woodward was
in the left hand road, that he was asleep
and driving blind mare. Blanchard II.
White, of Pemberton, appeared for Wood
ward, while Attorney Harold B. Wells, of
represented Emery, the
plaintiff. Decision was reserved
