DROWNING
ACCIDENT.
Two Lives Lost in Warmers
Rift Below
Milford.

Tuesday afternoon Adella wife Of
George Fellows of New York
with her daughter aged about four
years, and Lillian Anna jackson, a
stenographer OF New York, aged
about 81 years all OF whom were
bosrders at the Kurtz farm in Ding
man township went to the river TO
row opposite the Dstrick farm, TAX
ing with them little Ruth Kurtz. Ev
identity they knew nothing Of the cur
rent and Miss jackson attempted to
row but they were too near the rift
opposite the Warner, now Montgom-
cry farm, and were driven down the
river. In the rift Miss Jackson
stood up In the boat and It was cap
sized, probably by striking a stone
sidewise, and the occupants were all
thrown under lt. Mrs. Fellows selz-
ed the Kurtz child and climbed on
the boat, but Miss jackson and Mrs.
Fellows little one fioated away, and
she saw nothing Of neither, except a
glimpse Of Miss Jacksonis dress.
Mrs. Fellows stood up tor an hour or
more calling for help and finally
waded ashore. The body Of Miss
Jackson lodged against 8 stone o
short distance below where il was re-
covered by some Yale Forest Stu
dents. 1t was viewed by Esq. Lud-
wig acting as coroner who decided il
was case Of accidental drowning
and was brought to tho un dertaking
rooms Of Wood and Son and Wednes-
day was sent TO Brooklyn for inter-
ment in Evergreen Cemetery, A
number of men searched the river
for the body Of the child, which up
TO this time has not been found.

Must Have License

The deputy attorney general de-
oides that IL is illegal for any retail
merchant in the state to peddle goods
without having a specific peddlers
license. He says no exemption IL
found in the acts for a retail dealer
Any person hawking, peddling OF
selling under its terms, except as art
specifically exempted by its provis-
ions is required to obtain q license
It is the business Of hawking and
peddling that is regulated and retail
dealers who pay mercantile license
are within the general terms Of the
act Of 1901 and not within ITS exemp
tions. There lie nothing in the act Of
1889 that permits q retail dealer BY
virtue OF having paid the meroantil,
license to hawk, peddle or sell with
out obtaining a license.

Boarding Season Poor

There is general complaint with
summer resort keepers that compar-
atively few city people are coming
out. They say that in years the
seasons have not been 80 poor and
various reasons are assigned for tile
dearth, chief of which Is the automo-
bile. They declare that every man
who can possibly afford machine,
and many who really cannot, has
one, and instead Of locating at some
resort the family remains at home
and week end trips are taken. Many
Americans have gone abroad and the
papers say London hotels are so filed
that guests sleep on cots in halls and
sitting rooms and many are turned
away from lack Of accommodations.
This may in part explain the condi.
tion, but whatever the reason 1t is
certain that fewer people are abroad
at Hotels In this country than for
merly. With autos growing cheaper
more can buylthem and If they are to
blame boarding house proprietors
may look forward to some lean years.
Perhaps too the rapid transit sys-
TENS in the cities and the ease with
which business men can 60 out in
the country for few milea may
have an effect. If Rirship building
progresses it may be only a short
time before autos viii be discarded
for flying machines. no one really
can prognosticate the future.
