smithvi1le Railroad Crossing,

On Tuesday next the State Railroad
Commission will give hearing on the
subject of whether the railroad crossini
at Smithville is dangerous. The hearing
will take place at Trenton. The town
ship committee of Eastampton has hao
this matter in mind for some time. Las
year after there was a report that there
had been some narrow escapes complaint
was made to the State Commission, but
the case was not pressed.
The railroad company is said to have
denied that the conditions exist as report
ed and to have stated that fiagman pro
tects the crossing. Both of these state
ments, however, can be shown to be mis-
takes. About week since an inspector
from the railroad commission viewed the
crossing and at the time he was there
train came along. If there was asfagman
hi was not in evidence.
The township committee thinks this is
good time to have this subject discussed
as it win not be long before the fast
trains will go rushing past the station at &
high rate Of speed Photographs of th'
place have been taken and on Saturday 6

To House the New Engine.

Mount Holly iremen are making
preparations for nice demonstration or
Monday. February %, when the new
chemical engine recently purchased by
the Union Fire Company will be tested
and housed. The engine will reach here
a few days before the 22d, and will bt
tested on the morning of that day, after
which it will be removed to the house OF
Relief Company.
At two o'clock in the afternoon there
will be street parade in which the Mount
Holly companies will take part. There
will be at least two bands of music in line,
the Union having secured the Persever
ance band, and the Relief having engaged
the Third Regiment band of Philadelphia
The route selected is as follows: Form al

Repairs to Court House.

The committee on court house and
grounds has been considering the subject
of improving the court house, but the
Improvement" will settle down to re.
pairing the ceiling and strengthening the
walls. 1t has been shown that the cell.
ing of the first floor is very weak and
needs immediate attention. Several pro
positions have been advanced, among
them the installation of metal ceiling,
but this has not been adopted. Another
suggestion was that the time had arrived
when the county should be bonded to
build an up-to- date court house to re-
place the old building that has served sc
long. The idea, regardless of the cost,
has been frowned upon from all parts OF
the county. The thought of destroying
the architecture and appearance of The
venerable building is repugnant to nearly
all who discuss the subject.
That something must be done Is abso-
lutely certain and with this fact before
them the committee had an architect look
over the building and his decision was
that the walls needed Strengthening. TIC
secure this end iron rods will be run
through the ceiling from north to south,
the old plaster will be torn off and a new
ceiling put up. This it is thought will
put the building in very good shape
The work of tearing off the old plaster has
been begun and it is expected the repairs
will be completed in time for the April
term of court.
