LONG RAILROAD SERVICE
Charles P. Tunnel. of Georgetown,
Been With Railroad az Years

Been With Railroad az Years
Forty-two years of continuous
service without losing day from
actual sickness, is the record held by
Charles P. Tunnell, of Georgetown,
who, during that time has been in
the employ of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as freight agent
in this town. A few weeks ago he
was out of the office for few weeks
because of an injury he sustained
which left him a cripple, when a
bicycle which he was riding around
the corner sof the fceight house on
the slope of a hill slipped from
under him and precipitated him with
such force as to wrench some of the
ligaments of one leg. Outside of
that time he has been continuously
in the company's employ only when
being given a vacation of a week or
two. In about nine months he will
be retired, having commenced work
for the company in 1868. He has
been superintendent of Wesley NJ.
E. Sunday School for about 35
years, and holds that position at the
present time. Mr.. Tunnel is one
of the owners of the Georgetown Ice

SHOOTING AT CEDAR BEACH
Silas Hinson, Bridgetender There,
Believed to Have Become Insane

SiIas Hinson, Bridgetender There,
Believed to Have Become Insane
According to information received
at Milford last week Silas Hinson,
tender of the bridge over Cedar
Greek canal, at Cedar Beach, eight
miles east of Milford, is believed to
have suddenly become insane. He is
reported to have shot Henry Green,
an oysterman, and seriously injured
him. From what could be learned.
Mr.. Green had gone down to the
beach a short distance from Mr..
Hinson's residene, and was giving
orders to the men on his oyster
boats. of which he has a fleet, which
make Cedar Beach their headquarters.
Hinson, it is said, came out of his
house with a double barreled shot
gun and ordered Green off the beach
and when the latter did not obey as
promptly as Hinson evidently
thought he should, Hinson is said
to have discharged both barrels of
the gun at him, ini1icting a bad
wound in the right leg between the
knee and the ankle. The injured
man was sent to Milford for treat
ment. 1t was also reported that
some nearby farmers had become
alarmed and had left their farms.
The matter was reported to Officer
Ackerman, who went to Cedar Beach
to make an investigation, though one
report was to the effect that Hinson
had barricaded himself in his house.
with loaded guns, and was defying
anyone to come near him. If il is
true that Hinson has become insane,
the cause is not known. He may
have felt that he had some fancied
grievance when he is alleged to have
shot Green.

considered in various ways at the annual
convention of the American Civic Associa-

One of the ways in which the American
Civic Association will take up the ques-

will answer the question in his annual
address, and President Taft, who will
attend, and Secretary of the Interior

speak on the subject

'AEROP[ANES DIRECT
FIRE Of SIEGE GUNS
Report of Work Recently Done

Reports have been received by the Wal
Department of the use that has recently
been made of aeroplanes in the French
army where they were employed to
cooperate with and direct the fire OF
siege artillery. The results are said to
have been more satisfying than the
greatest friends of the aeroplane had eX-

Bleriot manned by Capt. Bellenger, and
three Farmans under Capt. Case and
Lieuts Blard and Nenard, each carrying

reconnoiter the fortified works at Toul.
The defenders at Toul had no aeroplaneS,
but had a captive balloon to signal the
approach of the enemies aeroplanes.
Three of the aeroplanes left their field
hangers at Charny at m. and flew
toward TOul, one by the Meuse valley and
the others by Woevre. Within an hour
after their departure the three were max

Subsequent experiments were tried when
one battery had been rendered entirely
