Gould Not Save Him.

David E. Maxfield, head superintend-
ent of the Florence iron works, fully
dressed, plunged overheard in an at
tempt to rescue an unidentified Rus
sian, about 30 years old, who fell from a
schooner into twenty-five feet of water,
while unloading hay, and was drowned
Friday morning shortly before noon.
There were twenty other foreigners
working on the same boat, who seeing
him slip from the top of the hay and
roll into the river, became so excited
that they were helpless. The excite
ment brought Maxfield on a run from
his Office quite a distance away. With
out stopping to take off his coat he
jumped into the river, but after a num-
Der of attempts, he was compelled to
abandon his purpose and swim ashore,
completely exhausted. The body was
recovered half an hour later, short dis
lance from the scene of the drowning.
Coroner Worrell viewed the remains,
and censured the foreigners for their
failure to make any effort to save the
man. No one knew anything about
him. The body was taken in charge by
a Burlington undertaken.

The 'Golden RUE store, Boyce's. ad,
East Driving.


The Mirror has this to say on the SUBJ
ject of fast automobile driving through
the streets of Mount Holly:
There has been some complaint of
the reckless speed at which certain chauf-
feurs of the public automobiles drive
their cars through the streets of the town.
The strenuous competition in the hack
business is given as the reason for this
haste in going for and delivering passen-
gers at their destination but this affords
no real excuse and the local authorities
should warn the reckless drivers before a
serious mishap occurs"
While there is foundation for the above
remarks it must not be thought that
hack drivers are the only offenders. Own
ers of private cars go through our streets
at a much greater rate of speed than the
law allows. On Saturday two machines
were seen going out of Washington
street. One was operated by a man
whose business it is to give certain privi-
leges under the auto act, and who UNI
doubtedly knows at what rate of speed
he is allowed to travel, but to have seen
him one would have supposed he had an
emergency case at the hospital. There
has been considerable comment on the
rate maintained by the trolley cars, but
the latter were easily distanced by the
autos mentioned.
The approach to High street at Mill,
Washington and White streets, is well
guarded by Policeman Myers, and the
auto drivers pay due respect to him as
they pass, but once beyond his reach the
muller is opened and the car shoots for
ward. On Sundays the corners of Gar
den, High and Water streets have a
special officer on duty and the same re-
spect is shown him at that particular
point.
But after sunset when these officers re-
tire from duty there is little attention
paid to any of the auto regulations. SUI
perintendent LippincOtt was reported to
have issued an order that extra tires
| must not be carried on the back of autos,
but he was not quoted correctly. He
does not intend to interfere with that
way of carrying tires but he insists
that they shall be so fastened that the
numbers of the machines may be easily
| seen. AS it now is in many cases the
| tires obscure the numbers. On Sunday
evening in the space of twenty minutes
ten autos passed up and down High
street. On seven of them the numbers
were either scarcely distinguishable OF
else could not be seen at all. On one OF
them the rear light was out, and all OF
them appeared to be in great hurry.
The matter of excess of speed has been
referred to so often that it seems a farce
to again allude to it, Perhaps something
will be done sometime that will make
the offenders realize there is law on the
subject and that the public has rights
but the local haclkmen should not be the
only ones to be brought to bay. There
are others.

Board OF Freeholders.

At a meeting of the Board of Free
holders held at the court house on Wed
nesday afternoon, Harry Hawkins, Jr.
was prevented from attending on &C
count of business engagement he hac
at Trenton, and his place as clerk wa:
filed by James Logan, county engineer
There was little fun-making thrown
in the way of DR.. Hugh LeJambre when
he entered the room because of his de.
feat for the freeholder nomination in
BOrdentown.

In the neck, but it was no surprise as
expected it,
Plans and specifications for a bridge
spanning Mill creek, on the road from
Burlington to Rancocas, were presented
by Louis r. Engel, who said he would
like to have them approved and bids
asked for.
Owing to the financial condition of
the road department action was deferred,
it being thought best to let the new
board assume some of this work, as the
present board had to settle some unpaid
bills that were left to them as burden
some legacy at the beginning of the
year.
Mr.. Maxwell presented a resolution
that the bridge over Bass river at New
Gretna, be condemned as unsafe, closed
to travel and new structure be erected.
In stating the circumstances in con-
nection with this matter, Mr.. Maxwell
became quite eloquent. He said there
had been complaints about the bridge
for several wears. He believed it to be
the worst constructed bridge of any in
the county. There has been consider
able money spent on it in making re-
pairs, and he was surprised to find that
it was not in better condition than what
it is. 1t isn't simply worn out but it is
absolutely rotten. He was not willing
to assume the responsibility of leaving
the structure there in its present shape.
He wanted the members of the board to
go down and see that he was not max
ing any Misrepresentation as to it's con-
dition.
1t was thought best for Solicitor Rigg
to appeal to the court for relief
Engineer Logan said it would cost
s., 900 to make repairs, or nearly $1,000
for new structure.
A resolution was passed that the en-
gineer make plans and specifications for
a new iron bridge, and the present one
was condemned.
Solicitor Rigg will be consulted as to
shutting off the road to public travel
A contract was awarded to the Walter
). French Company, to give surface
treatment of oil to two sections of the
Burlington and Bridgeboro road, on
which he had already been doing some
repair work
The board will meet tomorrow for the
auditing of bills and transacting other
business.
