| Holding an umbrella low over her
head to protect her from wind-driven
rain during thunder shower at 6
o'clock on Wednesday evening, the u
year old daughter of William b. Warth-
man, merchant, failed to see a run
away horse dashing toward her and was
run down at Broad and High streets.
A shaft struck the child and she was
hurled under the wheels, which passed
over her body rendering her unconscious.
She was removed to her home, where
| DIR. Rink found that she had almost
miraculously escaped injury. The horse
which had been frightened by a train,
was driven by William Marquart, a

A visitation was given the members of
Evening Star Council No. 38, Jr. O. U.
A. NJ, at their regular meeting Tuesday
by the members of the Bordentown lodge.
The visitation was made to present the
Perry cup to the local lodge. The cupis
go to every lodge in the State, and
then having finished its course will be
returned to the donor. 1t bears the
name of the commodore and the date
when it was started. Past Councillor
George Schuyler made the presentation
speech, and acceptance was by Howard
Woolman, the presiding officer.
To show their appreciation for the SER
vices of policeman Thomas Rogan, who
was shot to death by Winfield Temple
ton, citizens are responding to the call to
assist the patrolman's bereaved wife and
family. The officer did not carry life in
surance, and his death caused the means
of support to be taken from the home.
The list of subscribers was started by
Mayor Mount. A majority of the mer-
chants, Rev. Father Russi, of st. Paul's
church, the Knights of Columbus and
many other citizens have made contribu-
tions. The donations amount to more
than $500.
STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE.
"Dicky" Pew, well-known resident
of South High street, was returning to
his home about nine o'clock Friday even
ing when an automobile coming toward
this city struck and hurled him to one
side of the road severely injuring one
hand and arm, and cutting his face and
body. Thinking him dead, the occu-
pants of the car drove on, and the victim
of the accident was left lying in the
road. He was found in semi-conscious
condition by Nelson p. Creely who had
him removed to the Pew home. No clue
to the identity Eof autoists was obtain

be done in ascertaining their names.

and it is thought he will be able to be
about again in the course of two or three
weeks, unless it. develops that he is in
ternally injured.
