Residents of Moorestown and NIer-
chantville are complaining against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
Moorestown people object to the blowing
of locomotive whistles at night, this
being kept up until late hour. Mer-
chantville people are complaining about
the wifi nd raUa1 nf nd tho
bility of increased passenger fares.
Travellers all along the line of the Cam
den and Burlington County Railroad
would seem to have right to call atten-
ton to the fact that the stations along
the line are closed early in the evening {
and passengers who are waiting for !,
trains are compelled, regardless of the ,
state of the weather, to sit out doors I'M
til the train arrives. This some times /,
happens to be rather unpleasant when 9
the midnight line is being waited for.

Coroner Worrell was called to the cram
berry boys of Joshua Wills, near Taber-
nacle, Sunday, to view the remains of
Frances Demanco, an Italian widow, "a
years of age, who died suddenly Satur-
day evening. She had been picking
berries all day and in the evening was
very gay and happy, enjoying dance.
She ate some watermelon and soon after
complained of pain in her neck and head
and in a few moments after that she
dropped dead. The coroner granted a
burial certificate and the body was taken
to Medford and buried in one of the
cemeteries there. While the coroner was
at the bog another woman was taken

other woman died. Mr.. Worrell sug-
gested that certain emetics be given and
before he left he had the satisfaction of
knowing that he would not be called
upon to issue another death certificate.
