Fatal Grade crossing Accident.

With safety gates swinging uselessly
over them, two of Palmyra's most popular
youths were caught in grade-crossing
trap at Cinnaminson avenue crossing
Thursday morning Joseph Rush, 16, and
his brother. Furman Rush. IS, were vic
Tins of the crash. The younger youth
was killed instantly while the other was
badly injured, when locomotive splin-
tered their dairy team and carried their
bodies under a heap of wreckage on the
pilot half mile to the West Palmyra
station before the engineer could stop the
train.
The Rush boys were nephews to Richard
Furman, Palmyra dairyman, and five
minutes before the accident had left his
depot on Leconey avenue, their cart load
ed to serve customers on the south side of
town. The Palmyra passenger station
shut of the view of the tracks to the east
from drivers on the west side, and the
Rush boys turned their horses across the
tracks without thought of danger, with
the headlight of the locomotive cleaning
out of the darkness not hundred yards
away.
The station also obscured the team from
the view of the engineer, and there was
not even time for a warning blast of the
whistle before the splintered remains of
the milk cart were grinding under the
car wheels and the forms of the young
drivers, broken and bleeding, were crush
ed against the pilot. 1t seems certain that
Joseph, the younger youth, was killed In
staptly, his head being split and many
bones of his body crushed. Furman was
at first thought to be dead, but a physic-
ian discovered signs of life, and he was
taken to Cooper hospital, Camden, on
the first passenger train.

time Of his death was one of, If not the
Oldest, member of the bar of this state.
During the civil war he occupied the
position of Judge-advocate of one of the
New Jersey divisions, and aided In the
enrolment of eligible persons for mill
tary duty.
Mr.. Lewis was connected with several
of the towns institutions. He was a mem
Der Of the Episcopal Church and was one
of the active members of that organiza-
ton when Trinity Church was opened
He held the position of senior warden for

treasurer. He was frequently chosen to
represent the church In the convention

vice and counsel, as well his interest al
ways exerted in behalf of the company, will
be greatly missed.
Mr.. Lewis was OF very genial temperament
and his associations with the members of the
Board were always of the pleasantest charac
ter, and we have not only lost a conscientious
member of the Board and Company, but 8
friend as well.
We hereby tender to the widow and child

A New Project.

1t has been proposed that a Farmers
Market" be opened in Mount Holly snd
steps have been taken to put the idea into
execution. The location that seems tc
meet with the most favor at present is the
site of the mill that was destroyed by fire
on King street. 1t is suggested that the
lot be laid out In streets or avenues, and
that farmers be allowed to run In their
wagons, backing upon the open spaces
that customers may deal conveniently. A
rental of 20 to so cents per market day
will be charged. The days on which the
market will be opened are to be settled
later
A superintendent will be placed In
charge to collect the rent and to see that
the rules are obeyed. He will also have
control of the grounds and see that they
are cleaned up as soon as the market
closes.
Market day" is quite an event In many
cities. Perth AmboY, in this state, has
a very successful affair of that kind.
When the writer was in Dayton, Ohio,
one of his chief delights was to go to
market on the days designated. The pro-
duce brought In by the farmers and sold
directly from the wagons was attractive
In every instance, and the difficulty was to
discover which wagon one wanted to
patronize. There was very little that
could not be obtained. While the main
presentation was farm produce. there were
many other things offered. Vegetable and
flower plants, brooms and brushes from
the Shaker villages, in fact almost any.
thing one could think of could be obtain
ed by merely walking around the two or
three squares where the markets were
stationed.
The details of the Mount Holly market
will be ready in few days, and notice
will be given who to apply to for space
and other requirements.
