Death of George w. Hand.

George w. Hand, one of the proprie
tors of the Mount Holly News, died al
his home on Union street, Sunday
afternoon. He had been in poor health
for long time, but did not give up un
til three weeks ago and had been in bed
two weeks on the day of his death. The
cause of death was Bright's disease.
Mr.. Hand was born in Burlington,
April 20, 1854. He entered the office OF
the Burlington Enterprise at an early
age and learned the printing business.
The Enterprise was then a weekly paper
and was published in the second story OF
a building at the corner of High and
Union streets, in that city. At the
death OF Adds Hays, who founded the
paper, it was taken over by w. E.
Schermerhorn, Frank Stiles and George
w. Hand, who conducted it for two
years. This was in 1871. The three
young men were the first to introduce
printing by steam in this county.
Leaving Burlington Mr.. Hand went
to Philadelphia, where he remained a
short time and then located at Mead
vile, Pa. From there he went to Cleve-
land, Ohio, and then to Leroy, N. Y,
where he was partner in the firm pub
fishing the Leroy Gazette. Hearing
that there was an opening, at Mount
Holly in this office Mr.. Hand applied
for the position and was engaged as fore
man, coming here in April, 1888. On
April 10, 1889, he formed co-partner-
ship with Harry l.. Walters, and they
became the proprietors of this paper.
MIR. Hand was well versed in the print
ing business and was especially qualified
as correspondent and collector of news.
In addition to his work in this office he
was correspondent for several city news
papers. He was an indefatigable worker,
sticking to his post and attending to his
various duties at times when his health
demanded that he should take rest.
He was member of the Knights of
Pythias and Patriotic Order Sons of
America, taking an active interest in
both orders. He never held public Office, |
his life being devoted to newspaper work. |
His wife was native of Columbus. |
She, with son and granddaughter,
survive him.
Mr.. Hand was a lover of outdoor |
sports and an enthusiastic and successful |
fisherman. Much of his leisure time |
was spent in this pursuit, and his strings
Of pike and bass were the envy of less
fortunate fishermen. He was deeply in
terested in boating and canoeing, and
was one of the originators of the annual
Fourth of July carnival on the upper
creek. The success of those events has
oeen largely due to his untiring efforts
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at two o'clock, from his late
'esidence on Union street. Interment
will be made in the Mount Holly ceme-
cry.

BROAD STREET SAFE ROBBERS SHOW

IN other respects, the yeggmen pos

And this is why MIR. Jagie Is i'm
pressed. with the idea that the crooks
are sentimental: In 1892, Mr.. Hook
aladoB. founder of the paint and oil
supply business which bears his
name, died.
Among his effects was q pocketbook
which, on being opened. was found
To contain eight dollars--a FIVE. a

This envelope, with the So incloseo
was handed over to Mr.. Jagle by his
aunt with a good luck wish for future
prosperity.
Now. Mr.. Jagle is sentimental, too
and none of his possessions was
more priced than that little envelope
with its inscription, its contents and
it's memories.
1t was always carefully guarded
and treasured. Whenever Mr.. Jagle
had occasion to inspect the contents
of his safe ne would first and last
look to if that the talismanic en-
velope was in it's accustomed place.
The burglars ran across it, took ii
out, as they had taken out $1,000 in
cash and other valuables. They
broke open the envelope and with
drew its contents.
That inscription must have hit a
soft spot in their hearts, for. while
making sure of the rest of the booty.
they left the three bills, constituting
the IS. pinned together as they had
found them, on top of a small safe,
where the owner would be sure to
find them.
And the first thing that caught Mr.
Jagle's eye when he entered the store
to investigate was the little packet
containing the precious bills be-
uueathed in the manner described to
himself and other heirs of Uncle
Hockenjos.'
"As we are fully covered by insur-
ance against burglary" said Mr.. ia
gle to an Evening Star reporter to-
day, I'VE have lots of solace for our
loss. but had those eight dollars,
treasured as a keepsake for twenty
two years, been taken there would
have been heart burnings indeed. So
you see that | am warranted in say
ing that these yeggmen, or whatever
else you call them. had more than
spark of sentiment in their souls"
