FATHER AND SON BETTER.
The ~Campbells, Who Were Hurt on
Hilton Flats, Out of Hospital.

w. ]. Campbell and his son. A. S. Camp
bell. of III Rose street, this city. who were
injured In a collision between the furni-
ture wagon which they were driving and
a Springfield avenue car on the Hilton
flats last night, after having their in
juries attended to at the City Hospital,
went to their homes. While both are still
suffering from bad scalp wounds, their
condition is not serious, and both will be
about in a few days.
The two Campbells were returning TO
this city with a load of furniture which
they were taking to the storehouse of
Edwin a. Kirch, a furniture dealer of
Market street, this city, the owner of the
wagon, and when they turned out for a
speeding automobile near Oberlin street
they pulled the heavily laden wagon
directly in front of a speeding east-bound
car. The father and son were hurled to
the macadam. and were dazed for several
minutes. They were hurried in a car to
the residence of DR.. Ida ". Bruce, of
I%rvington. where their wounds were tenn
porarily dressed, and from there they
went to the City Hospital.
The two horses were badly cut, and
were taken care of by Fire Chief George
Schmidt, of Tuscan road, n half mile
away. The wagon was not badly dam
aged, owing to the weight of the load and
its heavy construction. Neither the motor
man, Charles Moeltner. nor the conductor.

the passengers injured, although many
women were frightened and added to the
confusion by their screams.

who mingle witt the currents of life. but
who do so only for gain and profit, forget

are those who, like Homer, live by the

belongs to the latter class.
I once read the will Of a poor man, who
beoueathed something to everyone. al
though he had nothing to give. To the
fathers and mothers he bequeathed all of
the good little words of praise and all of
the kind pet names and eudearments, to be
held in trust for their children. To the
children he left the flowers Of the fields
and the blossoms of the woods, the banks
Of the brooks. the golden sands beneath
the waters thereof. the doors of the will

clouds that float over The giant trees. He
left these for the children to enjoy, To
lovers he bequeathed the stars of the sky,
the red roses by the wall, the bloom of
the hawthorn. the sweet strains OF music,
to add to the l~astingness and beauty of
their love. And, lastly. to those of the
snowy crowns he bequeathed the happl-
ness of age and he love and gratitude OF
their children until they fell asleep. May
Father Cantwell enjoy the happiness OF
age and the love and gratitude of his peo-
pie until he falls asleep.

appointed to any office shall, before en-
tering upon the duties, take an oath be-
fore the Mayor or city clerk of al
legiance to the State, and also an oath
for the faithful performance of duty.
The information alleges that Myers
did not take this oat within ten days
after his reappointment. This, it is
held, caused a vacancy in the office to
which Myers had been appointed.
Myers, on October 1, 1906, removed to
New York, where, it is claimed, he
still resides. This, 1t is claimed. also
disqualifes him from holding the office.

pointed Anderson to the Office for the

Anderson AYERS that he presented
himself at the meetings of the Excise
Board June 4 and 5. but that Myers
was present and assumed all the duties
of the office; also that Myers refused
to permit the informant to take the
seat to which he had been legally APP
pointed and for which he mad duly
qualified. Anderson charges that Myers
has usurped the office and is unlaw-
fully holding on to 1t. He asks the
court to Dust Myers and give him the
place Willard p. Voorhees, represents

The legal point raised here has never
