make an effort to keep High street clean. |

ings the streets will be washed by |
streams from the fire MIGRANTS. The |
merchants along High street can aid |
materially in this work, especially the
Sunday cleaning, if they will have their
sidewalks swept late Saturday evening |
or early Sunday morning. A concerted
effort by all will aid very much in this
laudable purpose.

sort, and at the Hainesport power house |
it played around SO wildly that it be-
came necessary to shut off the current,
holding the trolley service at a standstill |
for half an hour. AT Hartford hailstones
as large as marbles fell, and the rain
in that section came down in torrents. |
Lightning struck the residence of j. j. |
Michael, at East Pensauken, causing a |

United American Mechanics of Burling-
ton county was held at Rancocas Park

the park after the shower and enjoyed
the speaking by prominent men of the
the order. Several large strawrides from
| the river front were in attendance. The
Z rain prevented the athletic contests tax
| ing place. The base ball game, between
teams of the lodges of Mount Holly and

| by the shower with the score a tie, four
runs each. Dancing was an important
ATTRACTION at night. The Medford band
furnished music in the afternoon and
