About three O'Clock Wednesday MORN
ing the body of Daniel Hewitt, about
ffty.five years of age, former resident of

the man had taken the poison with the In
tention of committing suicide, and he
ordered the remains be removed to the

Because of the large number of shade
trees on the western end of Union street,
which is now under course of improve
ment, the township committee find it me-
cessary to change their former plans. In
stead of continuing the same kind of road
as was built on the adjoining square last

1t with tar preparation, on which will be
placed thin layer of screening and rolled.
This composition binds the stone together
and gives the street the appearance of
being made of asphalt. While a trifie
more expensive than the ordinary stone
road, it is cheaper in the end and guaran-
teed by the contractors. Such a road is
giving satisfaction at Moorestown.
