Automobile Accidents

On Tuesday evening c. w. Bride
gum was on his way home to Haines-
port from the Stokes wharf, near Gen.
treton, when the steering gear of his
automobile got out of order and the
machine was overturned. Mr.. Bride.
gum was thrown out and several of his
ribs were broken. He was taken to his
home where he received medical atten-
ton.
Tuesday afternoon an automobile be-
longing to Harry Popkin, of Trenton,
was struck by freight train at
Wrightstown station and completely
demolished. The machine was being
driven by Samuel Stetnmetz, who was
thrown several feet but was not seri-
ously injured. The auto was truck
used for carrying provisions between
Camp Dix and Trenton and had been
in use but short time.
On the same evening Ernest Bowker,
of Rancocas, had an accident. He was
on motor cycle returning from his
work to his home in Rancocas. When
near Centreton he suddenly came upon
a truck shelving going the same way.
The shelving did not have any light,
and Bowker did not see it until he was
quite close to it. He steered his motor
cycle to the left, but the shelving was
also close to the left hand side of the
road, causing Bowker to run so near
the edge that he was in danger Of
going into the ditch. The result was
that his motor struck the rear OF the
shelving. Bowker was thrown to the
ground. While badly hurt he was able
to call for help, but soon after he was
picked up he became unconscious and
remained in that state until near night
the next day.

Soldier Found Dead

Shortly after seven o'clock, Thurs
day evening, a track walker saw the
body Of a man in uniform lying at the
eastern end of the railroad platform OF
the Mount Holly station. The track
walker summoned help and the body
was hurried to the Burlington County
Hospital, but it was found that life had
gone. An examination showed that
there was an internal fracture of the
skull which had caused hemorhage, re-
sulting in death.
Coroner Gaskill was called. In the
pockets of the dead mans clothing
were papers showing him to be Eugene
V. deMontingny, attached to motor
truck company 327, at Camp Dix. His
home was at Hackensack. The mill
tary authorities were communicated
with and they soon reported that the
young man was connected with the
truck company as the papers indicated.
The body was taken in charge by the
Camp Dix undertaken.
Coroner Gaskill made thorough in
vestigation of the case, and he was not
able to find anything that would indi-
cate other than an accident. There
are rumors of foul play, but there has
not been any one who has been able to
make more than rumors out of the re-
ports. Two trains left Mount Holly
for Camp Dix, Thursday evening-one
at 6.24, the other at 1877. 1t is sur
missed that the man attempted to
board one of these trains and was
thrown to the platform. Nobody could
be found to identity him as man who
had been waiting for a train. The
young man was known to many
Mount Holly people and everybody
considered him a respectable and we'll
behaved fellow.

Stole Auto Robe

At session of the county court, on
Thursday, Harvey Fitzgerald, of PhiIa.
delphia, pleaded guilty to stealing an
automobile robe belonging to Harry
Splice, on November ID, in Mount
Holly. He said he was intoxicated al
the time and did not realize what he
was doing. He took the robe to Penn.
berton and was arrested there.
When asked where he had obtained
liquor after he had become intoxicated,
he said at Fry's and Berry's hotels.
Judge Lippincott had the hotel
keepers summoned to appear and hear
the mans story about getting liquor
when intoxicated.
When Mr.. Fry and Robert Berry ar
rived, Fitzgerald could not identify
them. He did not seem to be clear in
his mind as to what happened on the
day of the robbery.
Judge Lippincott warned the hotel
keepers to be very careful about selling
to men under the influence of liquor,
and then sentenced Fitzgerald to six
months in the county Jail and to pay
a fine of $50.

with smallpox. None of the soldiers
have the disease.

al being treated for typhoid fever and
an equal number of civilian workers on
the cantonment have been stricken.
The soldiers are declared to have con-

isctions received by all the men.

Company | Benefit Performance

A diversified entertainment, inter-
spersed with glimpses of military life
at Camp Dix, gave pleasure and won
merited applause from crowded house
at the Mount Holly theatre last Tues
day night. The affair was under the
direction of Company 1, 311th Infan-
try, Camp Dix, and the proceeds, about
$3.50, went to the company fund of that
organization.
The military part Of the programme
consisted Of a pleasing impromptu
talk by Lieut.. Curtis on life at the
camp, in which the speaker told about
the training and discipline Of the
soldiers and the results desired to be
attained thereby; an awkward squad
drill by sixteen OF the members of the
company, which was quite amusing; a
formal drill by the same squads under
command of Lieut.. Curtis, showing
the manual Of arms, bayonet and
other rifle drills, setting-up exercises
etc., and instrumental selections by a
quartette of the soldiers. These mum
bers, being meritorious, unusual and
appropriate to war times, were greatly
appreciated by the audience.
The other part Of the programme
consisted Of music and readings by
well-known local people who always
are a delight to Mount Holly audi
ences.
Vocal selections we're given by Mrs
Alex. Ross, of Burlington, soprano
and Mrs. w. r. Trowbridge, of Noun
Holly, contralto; vocal duet by Mis-
Edna Parker, alto, and F. Reginald
Shannon, tenor, both of Mount Holly
and by the Mount Holly Glee Club.
The instrumental numbers were
violin solo by Daniel Wilson, and
piano duet by Miss Fay Wilson ant
Beverley C. Kingdom, all of Noun
Holly. Orchestral music was supplies
by the Peerless orchestra.
Excellent readings were given by
} Mrs. Horace Johnson, of Pemberton.
The programme closed with speed
by Lieut.. Curtis, who expressed tn
; appreciation of the company to tn
volunteer performers who had mad
, possible the giving OF the entertain
ment, and to the large audience for it
liberal response to aid the compan
; fund by attending the affair.
J The company also desires to expires
, its thanks to Pierre Stanton for tn
/ efficient manner in which he attende,
to the preliminary work Of srrangin
the programme, attending to the ad
vertising. and other details of the en-
ltertainmsnt.

School Tr,,ancv

Truant officer Samuel K. Gaskill
has been quite busy lately looking up
children who do not attend school and
he has had several cases which needed
strict attention and they got it, for
when Samuel goes after the truants
they generally find there is something
doing. There were two cases before
Judge Lippincott, Thursday. Mrs.
Norman Shemeley was given hearing
for not using more stringent measures
toward keeping her children in school.
Judge Lippincott was not inclined to
be too severe with the woman and he
allowed her to go with reprimand,
but told her there might be Jail SEN
tence for her if she did not make some
different arrangements.
MELVIN and Edward Harris, OF Will
low and Hilbert streets, were brought
into court and arraigned as incorrigible
children. They are habitual truants,
and do not seem to mind what kind Of
mischief they get into. Their latest
prank was releasing an airbrake on a
car, allowing it to drift from where it
had been standing. For this they
were put in Jail for a couple of hours
and then were allowed to go with the
understanding that they will reach the
Reform school at Jamesburg if they do
not no 70 cohooI roU,,IorIu
While the children are at fault for
not going to school much Of the blame
rests on the parents. Officer Gaskill
went to see the mother of boy, re
Gently, and she gave the constable a
sound tongue lashing, telling him she
was able to manage her own affairs.
When the law was quoted to her and
she became acquainted with what
might happen she cooled down and
promised to see that the officer wishes
were respected.
This is the proper view to take Of
this matter. There are a number of
children who do not go to school and
when the parents are applied to they
seem to think it is not anybody's bust
ness, that they may do as they please.
That is where they make great mis-
take. The law is very plain on this
subject and while the authorities are
not anxious to inflict punishment
upon the parents it must be under
stood that children must go to school
and those who aid them in not doing
this will be sorry. There is a deter
mination on the part of the school
authorities Of Mount Holly to have
every child Of school age in attend
ance at each session unless prevented
by sickness.
