The Storm.

The heavy wind storm, accompanied by
rain, which visited this section did con
siderable damage. 1t was not confined to
Mount Holly alone but was general.
Large and small buildings were torn
from their foundations and wrecked; trees
In orchards and along the country roads
were snapped off like pipe stems; fences
/ were blown down, and wires and poles
were strewn about the ground. Tele-
phone communication to some places was
cut off until linemen could make the
repairs necessary after such a general
destruction.
On the farm of James NJ Haines, be-
tween this place and Burlington, valu-
able chicken house, about 200 feet in
length, was blown off It's foundation and
the roof was taken from Oscar Wittmeyer's
tenant house near by. At Chambers Cor
ner, between Mount Holly ana Jobstown,
Horace G. Atkinson had large barn and
chicken house wrecked, fences and apple
trees ruined, and Stewart Mcfarland had
a sheep house reduced to the frewood
stage. The roof was lifted from passen-
ger car at one of Pemberton's stations.
Two buildings went down on the farm of
N. Eckard Austin, at Smalley's Corner,
and so many trees were blown down over
that point along the Vincentown railroad
that traffic was blocked until trainmen
were able to remove the whole trees and
hundreds of large limbs
A foundry building erected near Mount
Holly some time ago by the late Robert
NJ. Johnson, but never used, had most of
Its sides ripped off, and what was left
after the winds antics looked like shed.
So me damage was done In Mount Holly.
At the hay press of Fenimore Brothers
the thresher depar tment was wrecked and
the thresher was crushed by the heavy
load of bricks and roof material that fell
on it. A portion of the fire wall that
protects their press from the other build
ings was blown over. A small portion
of the rear wall of the Mount Holly Garage
was smashed when section of the old
carpet mill ruins, only few feet away
buckled and crashed into 1t. The damage
done In this case was not very serious.
During the violent wind and rain storm
which passed oyer this section on We'd
nesday, lightning struck big poplar tree
near the warehouse of A. J. Collins 6
Son, of Moorestown. The electric fluid
shocked all persons In that neighborhood.
Passing over the wires into the building,
the lightning destroyed the meter and
tore plaster off the ceiling In the office
without setting anything on fire. When
the crash came, some limbs that were car
ried for distance of fifty feet, broke
glass in second-story windows of nearby
hOnsea

Sunday Trains to Stnn

The State Supreme Court has upheld
the order of the Public Utilities Commits
sion, requiring the stopping of all trains
at Asbury Park on Sunday.
The order was attacked by the Ocean
Grove Camp-meeting Association. which
has allowed the New York and Lone
Branch Railroad to use certain property
free of charge, one of the conditions be-
ing that no Sunday train should be stop.
ped at the main station In Asbury Park,
this station being used jointly by residents
of Ocean Grove and Asbury Park.
The association raised as its principal
objection to the order the act which pro
hibits the running of more than one train
on Sunday. The court avoided passing
upon the legality Of this practically OBJ
solete section Of the law by holding thai
the order did not require the running Of
trains, but simply compelled that tn,
public should be served without dis
termination by such trains as are run.

Passengers on the last trolley from Bur-
lington Wednesday evening had an expert
ence that was far from pleasant aud one
which they would not like to duplicate
soon. The car was crowded, a number
OF the passengers returning from a per-
Torrance at the Burlington Auditorium,
and delegation of local Knights of
PYthias who had been attending a grand
lodge session at Trenton, being also on
board. When near Deacon's station the
power suddenly gave out and the car
came to full stop. This was about mid
night. Jack Smith, manager of the trolley
road, was on the car, and secured some sort
of conveyance from a neighboring farmer
and got himself to Hainesport What he
did there is unknown to the passengers In
the car. The power was off, hence there
was neither heat nor light in the car. The
storm was raging, the wind blowing such
gale as to rock the heavy car and make
1t necessary to pull down the leather cur
tains at the windows in case they should
be blown in and cover the occupants with
broken glass. The cars of the company,
good for fair weather perhaps, are not
worth much in rainy times. There were
several leaks and one passenger had her
dress so spotted with rain that 1t is not
worth much
Whats happened to Smith," was not
answered and the passengers sat in nope
that something might be done before day
break. Finally the power came on,
the lights shone sufficiently to let those
who had their watches see that they might
get home before breakfast time, and about
three o'clock a. M, those who had been
enjoying the comforts of a sleeping car
on the trolley road. entered their homes,
undecided whether to try and get few
hours sleep or go ahead and begin their
daily duties. There have been many COM
plants about the lack of service on the
road of the Burlington County Traction
Company, but this about breaks the
camel's back. 1t is possible the last trans
action may result in some demands for
damages. Something ought to be done
To use popular but very inelegant
phrase, the trolley service appears to ''be
