CUTTING OUT THE BACON
HILL CURVES

Work is under way to straighten
the public highway where it cross
ses the Penna. Railroad tracks by
an overhead bridge at Bacon Hill.
The taking cut of the sharp curves at
both approaches to this crossing will
eliminate a source of great danger
where accidents have been only too
frequent. With the two similar
crossings at Charlestown already OBJ
waited all that will remain to make
this an ideal stretch of read from
Eikton to PerryEille is to make it
wide enough for four ears to run
abreast. A wider road would make
rapid running less dangerous, even
at the present permissible speed rate.
The amount of traffic. on this section
Of highway would justify the widen
ing of the road. The is miles Of
this road is in almost a straight line,
with no steep grades.-Gecil Star.

WEBB CONVICTED OF
MURDER

John w. Webb, indicted for the
murder of Joseph Doranco, at the
Szmilyk farm near Barksdale about
year ago, was tried before the
Court at Chestertown and found
guilty of murder in the second
degree. He has been sentenced to
IA years in the Maryland Peni-
tentiary.
Webb, Charles Kassing and Webb's
sister, Mrs. Dora Vaughn, were all in
dicted for the murder of Doranco,
which was the outgrowth of dis
pute over wages, due the murdered
man while he was in the employ of
the woman.
After Doranco had been arrested
upon charge of Mrs. Vaughn, follow
ing the alleged dispute over wages,
John Szymilyk, who was a widower
with several small children, the old
est about 10 years, went on
Doranco's bond. While Szmilyk,
who worked in Chester, Pa, was
away from home, Doranco looked
after, the children and the house.
The murder took place about 9
o'clock at night, after the murder
victim had placed the children in
bed for the night, and he himself was
just getting ready to go upstairs to
retire. The assailants from the out
side fired through the window, the
load striking him in the breast. The
victim managed to get upstairs and
fell dead in front of the door leading
to the room of the children. It so
frightened them that they failed to
leave the house for two days. The
Oldest peeping out the window saw
two men leaving the premises. i'm
mediately after the gun had been
fired, recognizing them as the same
men who had been to the house the
previous day and undertook to get
into fight with Doranco.

HULL WILL HAVE l. PROTEST HEARING
Will Air Burlington Caucus in
 Superior Court Tuesday
LIQUOR SELLERS ARE FINED
Martin, Katz Assessed siOO and Frank Twarty s200 in Police Court--K. of c. Honors Lambert -Elks to Present "Bimbo."

George W. Hull won the first lap of his fight against the election of ficials of Burlington yesterday when Judge Newell Jennings of the su- perior court granted the right to a hearing next Tuesday at 10 o'clock in Hartford, when the republican caucus of Tuesday night In Burling- ton will be aired. The judge did not grant a writ of restraint, how ever. so that the c. o. P. names may be placed on the state ticket as was announced last night.
 Mir. Hull, through his attorneys, Judge William J. Malone and Judge Joseph M. Donovan of this city, as- serts that the caucus of Tuesday night was illegal in that check list was voted for use and then the off cials calmly ignored the list. MT. Hull was defeated in the gathering by a vote of 90 to 42.
 An interesting note of the Bur lington caucus is that Judge John F. Hagen was defeated for nomina- ton as justice of peace, by the re- publican caucus but had been en- dorsed a short time before by the democratic caucus so that he stands now as a c. o. P, adherent, running as a democratic candidate.
 K. Of c. Honors Lambert
 As amrk of the esteem in " vhich he is held by ris fellow mem- bers of Palos Council, Knights of Columbus, retiring Grand Knight Richard T. Lambert was given a pair of handsome gold cuff links, inscribed with the K. of c. emblem at the meeting of the council last night in the new headquarters on North Main street. Installation of the recently elected officers last night placed Harry McKinistry in the chair, occupied so successfully by Mir. Lambert for the last year. After the presentation, Past Grand Knight Lambert expressed his grati- tude to the members for their splendid remembrance.
 MT. Lambert is well known rail- road man, having had charge of the baggage room at the Hartford sta tion for some time.
 No Action Taken
 Adjournment was taken at the an- nual meeting of the local building and loan association last night in the Arcanum building until October 24 without any action being taken on the opening of the local office. AS all of the officials were unable to attend and 1t was necessary 10 defer some matters until later, it was de- cided 10 adjourn without taking de- cisive votes
