Walter B. Scattergood of 1925 Cam

Queen City yesterday afternoon about
quarter past four, just after she had
entered Hereford Inlet from a days
fishing, and was drowned. He had
just come from the ice cooler where he
had gotten a drink Of water and was
about to resume his seat when he top
pied without any apparent cause and
went down without an effort to save
himself. A number Of passengers near
him at the time seem to think he had
an attack of vertigo or something of
the kind which caused him to fall.

and Capt. Buck ank his engineer came
back to Anglesea and there with one of
the life savers went out to the spot in
one of the fishing skiffs to grapple for
the body, which they succeeded in get

NAPOLEON SAID

There is Nothing too Good for the French"
Americans demand the best You can get it at Wild
wood Crest We are building a City quickly, and to do
this we have kept prices down to get population Tor
that is as necessary to a resort as blood is to the cir
culation. Here are FIFTEEN REASONS for investing
in WILDWOOD CREST in this Last Sale. ::::
I BECAUSE the lots now offered are in blocks where fifty
houses are already built.
2 BECAUSE three years age it was a waste and wilderness, but
now it is the model resort
BECAUSE it affords a unequalled opportunity to benefit
your health, enhance your pleasure, and i'm
prove your estate.
4 BECAUSE it is SO high above the sea you get the best views
and the coolest air.
5 BECAUSE it faces the Ocean, Inlet and Lake, and you never
fail of salt breezes over tide-waters.
6 BECAUSE there is no better place on earth to sail or fish or
hunt or rest.
BECAUSE it is planned, built and conducted on a sole that
has compelled success.
8 BECAUSE the public utilities, avenues. roads, pavements,
curbs and sewers are made, paid and are free.
9 BECAUSE you can pay ten dollars per month on ground and
4easr Life wiz BE insured. or-4aaz cash and eefAa-
discount of 500
10 BECAUSE if YOU build before July Isl, 1910 you will receive
a bonus, reducing the cost of your ground to
onethird of its real value.
II BECAUSE the founders are the same as at Wildwood, where
land has brought eighteen times as much as
the founders got for it.
~ BECAUSE Wildwood Crest has the benefit of the experience
of the founders in making Wildwood.
IS BECAUSE the title is insured and you cannot put money
where it will be safer or more profitable or de-
velopment as rapid.
IA BECAUSE there is no other place of equal merit where you
can buy as low or where success is a sure and
IS BECAUSE there is not an undesirable lot in this sale and the
sale will close very soon.

BLOOD FROM VEINS
OF BROTHER FAILS
TO SAVE HER LIFE
Miss Mary 7. Merrigan Dies OF
Peritonitis After Trans
fusion Operation.

Despite the sacrifice of her brother,
Charles L. Merrigan. member of a we'll
known Orange business firm, who al
lowed his arteries to be tapped for
TRANSMISSION of his blood to his sisters
veins as she lay critically i'll following
an operation. Miss Mary r. Merrigan.
of SO Chestnut street. Orange, died last
night in the Orange Memorial Hospital
Miss Merrigan was operated on Non
day by DR.. Elliott, an eminent New
York specialist, and, while the opera
ton was apparently successful. peri
tonitis set in later.
As the patients condition gradually
grew worse the hospital physicians held
out some hope for the improvement of
Miss Merrigan. should the TRANSMISSION
of blood be successfully made from a
person in good health. The operation
is a delicate one, particularly as the
success of the TRANSMISSION method de-
ponds entirely upon the absolute har-
mony of tho patients blood and the
new life fluid infused in the veins. Mr..
Merrigan promptly offered himself for
the operation. Miss Merrigan, however.
failed to rally from the p%eritonitis at
tack, and, she died last night surround
ed by her family and the clergy of Our
Lady of the Valley Church. Orange.
Miss Merrigan was to have undergone
an operation two years ago, but she
suffered an attack of scarlet fever at
the time and the ordeal was deferred TO
this week.
Miss Merrigan was a daughter Of
Mrs. Susan Merriean. and was well
known and popular. She was a MEM
Der of the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent
Association and Our Lady of the Valley
Church. The funeral will probably be
ON Saturday morning.

BRICK PAVING
BILL DEFEATED
IN EAST Ne WARk

An ordinance providing for the paw
ing of Mulock place. East Newark,
with brick, which had been passed on
first and second readings at a previous
meeting of the East Newark Common
Council, was defeated when it came
up for third reading and inal passage
last night.
The ordinance was killed because
two property owners on the street were
present and spoke in favor of a diff
ferent kind of pavement.
The action has Disguised the Harri-
son councilnen, who were working in
harmony with the East Newark Of
flcials, as the street is part of the
boundary line between both places. The
matter had been hanging fire for some
time, and the Harrison officials were
assured that East Newark was ready
to do its part of the work. AT the
recent meeting of the Harrison Council
it ordered q notice of intention pub
lished tn pave Harrison's share with

BUSY SESSION CONFRONTS
kEARNY COMMON COUNCIL.

The Kearny Common Council will
meet tonight and a busy session is
looked forward to. 1t is very likely
that Mayor Louis NJ. Brock win en-
eavor to have put through IN first and
second readings an ordinance providing
for the division OF the o Il wards into
three, districts each. making twelve
polling places instead of six as at pres
emit. Very little opposition is expected.
Another Important matter that may
come up will be the advertising for
proposals for the work to be done on
the new town hall. The Coancil has
approved the set of plans for the mu-
nicipal building and the next step is
to let out the contracts.
The police committee has been con-
sidering for some weeks a petition re-
ceived from the patrolmen asking that
their pay be increased. Favorable ac-
ton win probably be taken tonight.

James M. Seymour Tells irving
ton Association He Thinks
Proposition Unwise.

At the monthly meeting of the Sec
ond Ward Improvement Association, of
lrvington, in its hall in Lyon avenue
last night the subject of municipal
lighting was discussed, when the spe-
cial committee on lighting, consisting
OF former Councilman Warren T. Frey.
Hugo r. Winckler and Oscar Caselman.
presented a communication from James
M. Seymour, of the Block Lighting
Company Of Newark, who had beer
asked to give an estimate on the cost
OF a lighting plant for Irvington.
Mr.. Seymour gave a rough estimate
of 1874, 900 for a plant of 5000 lights. but
owing to the scattered population in
the town, did not think favorably OF
the proposition at the present time. Mr.
Seymour was supposed to be an advo-
cate of municipal lighting.
The committee appointed to take lp
the Lyon avenue widening i'll the city
OF Newark reported a conference on
Thursday afternoon of this week / n
the City Hall with the Newark Board
of Works. The need of better postal

that a request had been made by him
to Postmaster Hayes, of Newark, for
on extra clerk n a carrier, to facili-
tate the work of his office.
The fire question was discussed and
former Assemblyman George Scribe,
president of the association, reported
that Chief Ashley, of Newark. had been
requested by h Board of Trade TO
