SERGEANTSVILLE ROAD
STILL HAS BAD HOLE

The mudhole near Jacob Pauch's
farm, on the Stockton Sergeantsville
road, which proved so profitable for
the men who hauled out automobiles
at 81 each, or about $50 per day, is
still in deplorable condition, accord
ing to the Delaware Township folks
who are compelled to use it.
Practically all the road, built of
stone AMI cinders last fall, is in good
condition except a few hundred feet
which has been almost impossible at
times this spring.
So far the Delaware Township COM
mittee has stood 'pat" on its repair,
according to their indignant fellow
citizens, some of whom declare that
they will make efforts to have them
indicted for the condition of this
short piece Of road.
Other sections that suffered the
ravages of frost and snow have been
placed in decent condition, according
to these complainants, but the section
at the Paueh farm remains "a hole of
iniquity."
Many people are travelling to Ser
geantsville via Rosemont, there be-
ing good stone road from Stockton
to that village, and the dirt road
from there TO Sergeantsville is sup
erior to the good cinder road from
Stockton direct, because of this bad
spot.

AGED WOMAN
DIES ON FLOOR
Mrs. Annie Mangan, so Years,
Found in Upstairs Room
Wednesday Night.
LIVED ALONE MANY YEARS

Lambertville-The dead body of
Mrs. Annie Mangan, widow of Daniel
Mangan, was found in a bedroom at
her home, SO Quarry street, Wednes-
day evening. Neighbors who had not
seen the aged woman during the day
gained entrance through a window
and found that she had been dead for
some hours.
Coroner +. w. Larson was called
and after viewing the body, issued a
burial permit. Undertaken E. j,
Moonan removed the remains to his
morgue.
Mrs. Mangan, who was about so
years of age, had lived alone since
the death of her husband, more than
twenty years ago. None the
neighbors had been upstairs in her
house in several years, and the bed
room, which she apparently made her
headquarters, was in an unbelievably
bad condition.
The aged woman had been seen at
the window or downstairs each day
up to Thursday, and, so far as known
was in her usual health. She suf-
fered from rheumatism at times, and
this may have struck her heart and
caused her death. She had evident.
ly gotten out of bed, and then fallen
partly under it, with her head lying
against box, in which position she
was found.
Mrs. Mangan was the daughter of
Martin and Nora Cooney, and was
born in Ireland, coming TO this coun-
try more than sixty years ago.

BOY BROWNS
in The RIVER
Joseph Mario Falls From Boat
While Suffering Epileptic
Fit Last Saturday.
BODY RECOVERED NEARBY

Lambertville-rhe body Of Joseph
Mario, the ll-year old son of MIR.
and Mrs. Luciano Mario. of 5 Coryell
street,who was drowned Saturday aft
ternoon at 545, was recovered at the
same hour Monday An almost con-
tinuous search was kept up, from the
hour the boy drowned by falling out
of rowboat into the Delaware River
while suffering from an epileptic fit,
to which he was subject.
Coroner Frank w. Larson viewed
the body and issued a burial permit
after which the remains were remov-
ed to the undertaking establishment
of Edward J. Moonan, under whose
direction the funeral was conducted
yesterday morning. Requiem high
mass waSheld at st. Johns r. c.
Church, and interment was in St.
Johns cemetery.
No water was found in the boys
lungs and his body was not mutilated
III ely way
Crowds of people had watched the
search work, from the small park at
the foot of Coryell Street, with much
interest. Frank Kane, diver for
the Huscarora Oil Company, of Cen-
tire Bridge, made a minute inspection
of the river bottom, at the scene of
the drowning, on Sunday afternoon,
but without success.
The body had apparently drifted,
sinking as it went, the couple of
hundred feet from the point the boy
fell in to near sthe rear of the Lear
mill, where an eddy has been swirling
about during the flood season. 1t
was suggested TO the boys father
that an object thrown into the river
might drift to the spot. This was
tried, with success, the boys father
recovering the body at that point.
The rake that he was angling with
caught in the boys coat sleeve.

MORE TRAINS
TO BENNINGTON
Gasoline Car Will Make Ten
Daily Trips on New Sched-
ule in Effect April 20.
SUNDAY SERVICE TO START

The train service between Lam
bertyille and Pennington is to be i'm
proved with the next change of
schedule for the first time since 1870,
when it was increased from four to
six trains per day. 1t will Jump to
ten trains a day this time.
Due to the successful operation of
the gasoline car for the past two
months, the new schedule will call
for trains leaving Pennington about
5.i5, 755, lilo a, M, S.55, 7,25 pm.
Attending good connections from Jer-
sey Central and Lehigh Valley trains
at the county seat town, Returning,
trains will leave Lambertville $50,
$50 am; 2.15, sos and 9.15 pm
There will even be a Sunday service,
leaving Pennington about TAO am,
100 and 6.i5 pm, and returning
from Lambertville at 9.35 a M, 2.15
and S.45 pm.
There may be slight changes before
the public schedules are issued, but
it is not likely that there will be
variation of more than few minutes
on any of the trips
Should this service prove successful
it is believed possible that even more
trips may be added later on.
1t is now definitely known that the
new summer schedule of the Belvi-
deere Delaware Railroad will change
the 6 a. m. train to Trenton to am.
and the 7.23 will be changed to 6.23,
but there will be no other material
changes in the southbound trains.
Northbound, it is expected that the
Short Line, now arriving in Lambert
vile at Els p. m., will arrive about
4.40 p. M, and the GA will probably
arrive at 5.55 or thereabouts. A new
train will arrive about 1890 noon,
and the 200 local will be changed to
a fast express. Other northbound
trains viii remain on approximately
the old times.
This will not affect the repeal of
the daylight saving ordinance in
Lambertville as the railroad operates
on standard time, anyway, and the
change which are generally OPP
posed along the line-are made be
cause Trenton is expected to be ON
daylight saving time.

The editor of this paper he's just
received some Hun propaganda from
the "Steuben Society in the shape
of a circular headed France in the

America Duty to Perform ~
And then with the typical brazeu
audacity of the Hun it links the rev
cred name of Lincoln with its insid-
ious appeal an appeal for sympa-
thy with a nation Of baibarians that
devastated Belgium and France!
They "shed tears into their beer
as it were, in bemoaning the suffer
ings of the said barbarians who are
being made to pay their just and
righteous debts. They argue, 'If the
payment treparationsl had original
ed in a voluntary obligation ton the
part Of Germany freely ard fairly
given, -. even then the enforce
ment of that payment would eonsti
tute challenge"
Imagine Germany assuming vol
untary obligation, freely and fairly

beasts doing anything fairly
1t is to laugh!

The Doing of Good

Passing along certain street in
Lanlbertvillc the other day the
writer overheard a woman remark,
II don't see the necessity for a hos
pital here, and if one is started |
shall not support It," |, trust that |
was not unkind when mentally re-
marked, "My good woman, | wonder
whether you are doing any good in
your life for others at all. or whether
YOU are good for nothing" For the
lady in question was known to the
writer as one Of the ''uncou guild" ms
the Scotch say. There are so many
of us people in this life processing
goodness, and, alas, SO much of our
goodness is good for nothing. Good
ness, to be of value, both to the pos
SCISSOR and to others. must be of will
ings service to and for others; good
for something and producing some
thing, for as the good old Book says,
"By their fruits We shall know them
The Necessity Apparent
Is there any necessity for hos
pital in Lambertville reply UNI
hesitatingly and without equivo-
cation that there exists the great
est necessity for such an insti-
tuition, and | am heartily rejoiced
that the Editor Of the "Lambertville
Record" whom have the honor TO
call my friend, is so energctically
striving for the foundation of such a
work of mercy in our midst. Today
we rely on the hospitals in Trenton,
Philadelphia and other nearby cities
to receive cases from Lambertville,
and with full gratitude one must ack-
nowlcdge that they have nobly re-
sponded to our calls FOR their help.
But these institutions alreay have a
large population to care for; very
often they are crowded to their full
est capacity and are unwillingly
obliged to refuse cases from outside
their own cities. This often occurs
when the need is greatest, as for in
stance during the Influenza epidemic
Of two years ago. Moreover. it does
not point TO the existence of civic
pride in Lambertville that we should
be dependent upon the charity of
those outside our city for the treat
ment of our own sick and injured,
