Death From Insect Bite

Mrs. Elizabeth K. Lippincott, wife
of Samuel Lippincott, the well-known
hardware merchant on East Broad
street, Burlington, and residing on
Lawrence street, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas q. Horner, died yes
terday morning at her summer home,
Atlantic City, OF blood poisoning.
Death was due to an insect bite upon
her cheek while she was seated upon
one of the piers listening to an evening
concert week ago last Friday.
After the. insect had been brushed
away nothing was thought of the bite
until thefollowing day when her face
began to swell. DIR. Harvey, Chelsea
physician was called. The physician
first treated her for neuralgia, but as
the pain continued the insects bite
was recalled, and then it was learned
that the cheek had been infected with
poison.
Another physician was called and
the case was again diagnosed as blood
poisoning. Later DIR. Solomon Cohen,
a specialist from the Jefferson hospital,
Philadelphia, was called and then it
was learned that the poison had in
fected her entire system and little hope
was entertained for her recovery.
Heroic remedies were used, but proved
of no avail. Previous TO death Mrs.
Lippincott became unconscious and
remained SO until death relieved her
sufferings.

Newspaper Change.

The next issue of the Palmyra NeOs
will be under new management. Frank
r. Chambers, who is connected with
the Evening Telegraph, and Wayne
E, Fluck, formerly with the advertis-
ing departments of the North american,
are the gentlemen to whom the con-
duct of the paper has been transferred.
Both are residents of Palmyra. In
making the announcement of the
change, Sleeper, editor and proprie-
tor" does not say that the paper has
been sold, merely that the manage
ment has been changed 1t is to be
hoped there will be some improvement
in the way the Nea0s is run, as there is
great room in that direction. In re-
linquishing the managing department
Sleeper could not help putting in one
nasty article about Robert Peacock.
for whom he seems to have acquired
an undying hate, the same as he does
against others whom he thinks do not
follow the straight and narrow path
as he sees it. Notwithstanding he has
handed the management of the paper
to others he is still under indictment
for libel while he had control of the
NeWs.
As an evidence of need in manage
ment we can recall statement in the
Palmyra Meas, that child had come
to that town with infantile paralysis.
The Riverton NeaO Era has the fol-
lowing:
"Mrs. Eugene Blessing desires us to
state that the daughter of Walter
Blessing, who visited Mrs. John Cooper
last week, was not suffering with in
fantile paralysis, and that no such
diagnosis was made at its home in
Jersey City, as stated in the Palmyra
Nea0s last week. The report that the
Jersey City Board of Health had mott
fed the Palmyra Board that the child
was suspected of having the disease
was entirely false, the Palmyra Board
having received no such communica-
ton from the Jersey City Board. The
child was troubled for a day or two
with a slight stomach disorder before
coming to Palmyra, but had entirely
recovered before the Jersey City au-
thorities issued the certificate"

Court.

Judge Lippincott was not bothered
with much criminal business, on
Thursday. In the morning he had
several matters in the orphans court
to take his attention, and when these
were out of the way he heard what
cases the prosecutor had to present.
Sadie Spencer, colored girl, pleaded
guilty to stealing some goods, which
were valued on paper at about S75. but
when the entire affair was sifted down
it was hard work to discover rs cents
worth. Sadie had been living with an
aunt in Moorestown and she claimed
the latter had borrowed more than
enough money to pay for the goods
several times. The case was laid over
until Thursday.
Armone Volmar was convicted of
stealing gun and some fishing tackle
from property at Paducah, on the
road to Smithville. The house is
owned by man who liVesin PhiladeI-
phia and comes to Paducah in the
summer. In March Volmar broke in
to the house and tore things up
generally. He has been before the
court twice before and he will get
sentence on Thursday that will con-
vince him that he was not acting the
part of good citizen.
John Jeans pleaded guilty to assault
ing his wife. The evidence. showed
that Jeans, after giving his wife
punishment, stuffed rags into her
mouth to keep her from making an
cutlery.
The license formerly held by Wash
ington Stead for the Crosswicks hotel
was transferred to Thomas A. Reeder
and the Browns Mills Company were
granted a transfer of the license former
ly held by Brown s-Mills-in-the Pines.

Random Remarks.

An interesting point may be raised
in connection with the death of a man
who was riding motorcycle between
Smalley's Corner and Vincentown.
The investigation by the coroner indi-
Gated that the motorcycle struck one of
the heaps of stone along the road
which have been there for some time
for the purpose of making repairs.
There were not any red lights or dan
ger signals on any of the heaps, nor is
there anything to denote danger in
any section where these heaps of stone
have been lying for long time. At
tention has been called to the fact that
the material has been in possession for
several months but apparently no
effort has been made to use it and the
wonder has been why the stone has
been left lying along the road. There
is no positive evidence that the motor
cycle struck one of the heaps, but the
indications point strongly to that con-
clusion. For the county's side it can
be shown thatlthe stone was piled up on
the side of the road and that there did
not seem to be any necessity for the
rider of the cycle to go off the regular
track. At any rate the stone has been
along the road long enough and if it ia
going to be used before winter it might
be well to get the job started.
The Board of Freeholders did we'll in
refusing to grant the telephone com.
pany unlimited right to use the coun.
ty roads for fifty years. While ii may
be inconvenient and perhaps cost the
company something to get an or
dinance passed every time it is desired
to open road to plant poles or wires
that would seem to be the safest
method of procedure. At any rate il
would be entirely out of order to grant
a franchise beyond the life of any
Board.
i When county collector Pine handed
a check to the board of freeholders Il
make good what had been reported al
a shortage he did something that is tt
be commended. Mr.. Pine does no
agree that the special auditor was cor
rect in his findings but he is perfectly
willing to lie out of the money ant
keep the books straight until he has al
opportunity of getting an examination
which he is confident will show tina
: matters are not exactly as they hav
been reported.

A Double Accident.

Robert Fidler, employed by d. G
Kahlbach & Bro, was badly injured
on Tuesday, while running the engin,
of their portable saw mill which wa,
located on Fred A. Lippincott's proper
ty in Polly Cox's swamp. While oil
ing the engine Fidler got caught be
tween the hywheel and piston rod. He
was held in this position for over an
hour before the other workmen could
remove the fly wheel. During this
time he was held against the hot
boiler, burning him considerably. His
leg was found to be badly broken. He
was taken to the Burlington County
Hospital.
George B. West, who was sent fol
to assist in removing the flywheel, was
taken to the woods in an automobile.
The car struck stump and Georges
head was forced through the wind
shield, cutting his face quite severely.

Typhoid Carrier Suspected

| William H. Forsman, a farmer or
the Jacksonville road, has discontinued
the dairy business, having disposed Of
all his cows. This is the dairy which
the State Board of Health recently pro-
hibited from continuing the sale Of
milk because of suspicious circum-
stances connected with an outbreak
of typhoid fever.
In several widely-distributed towns
where typhoid cases had developed, it
was found that the milk supply Of the
families had been received from this
dairy. Beforea complete investigation
of conditions on the farm had been
concluded by the health authorities,
Mr.. Forsman decided to relinqush
the dairy business.
Two persons on the farm had suf-
fered with the disease five or more
years ago, but this was before they
lived on the present farm. The state
board secured specimens of blood from
every person living on the place, to
determine by analysis if there was any
one there who might be what is known
as typhoid carrier. The analyst re-
ported two of the specimens to be
doubtful, and requested that new ones
be obtained. When the state inspec-
ton applied for the new samples, his
request was refused, on the ground
that the dairy had been discontinued
and the farm was not now matter for
investigation. The inspector said this
was the first time in his experience
that any request touching health in
had been refused.
There is little doubt in the minds of
the health authorities that there was a
carrier on this farm and that the milk
was thus contaminated. 1t is also
that the outbreak of ty-
phoid on the farm occupied by John
I. Linton, on the same road, was
caused by this carrier when he was
employed by Linton, and
was using drinking cup that was be-
ing used by the family.
