Local Tennis Club
Loses To Doylesfoscn

Lambertville-The game of tennis
is an uncertain thing. Two weeks
ago the local Tennis Club delivered
a decisive defeat to the New Hone
Club. A week afterward the New
Hope Club went to Doylestown and
cleaned up with the Tennis Club
there. Then on last Saturday the
Lambertville Club met the Doyles-
town Club on the local courts. and
altho having defeated the club that
licked them, they lost to the latter
club.
However, it was not as decisive n
victory as that won over New Hone
by the local club, Then also some
OF the Lambertville players who took
part last Saturday were not on the
winning teams of two weeks ago
Bob Hoppock, president of the local
club, proved the star player in what
was declared the most spectacular
game OF the match. He defeated Fos-

TROLLEY FIGHT
AGAIN JULY 7

At the hearing conducted by the
Pennsylvania Public Service Com
mission in Philadelphia last Friday
on the appeal of the New Jersey
Pennsylvania Railway Company to
abandon their line, there was no
opposition voiced by any of the
towns on the line. The Company
has been operating between Trenton,
Lambertville and Newtown and in
termediate points. They claim they
have been operating at loss, and
asked permission to discontinue their
service They have also asked for
permission to operate a bus line
between Trenton and Washington
Crossing on the Pennsylvania side
of the Delaware River.
New Hope was represented at the
hearing by Attorney Arthur East
burn, Of Doylestown; Webster Achey,
of the same place, represented
Yardley; Newtown was represented
by VIM. r. Stu kert. None of these
communities opposed the abandon
ment of the trolley line, but they
insisted that the Company furnish
a bond guaranteeing that their
streets would be repaired when the
tracks are removed.
Senator Clarence J. Buckman, of
the Washington Park Commission
and the Free Bridge Commission,
was present in the interest of these
bodies. Louis Focht, of the New
Jersey Free Bridge Commission,
was present with Senator Buckman
for the same purpose. They did not
oppose the discontinuance Of the
trolley service, but desired an early
decision so that repairs can pro-
ceed on the New Hope-Lambertville
Free Bridge. The trolley tracks
cross this bridge, and If they are
to be taken up it will simplify the
repairs to the flooring. Also it will
enable them to install better
flooring if the tracks are removed.
Bids have already been received
for these repairs, but they call for
special steel work under the tracks.
If the tracks are removed it will
change the plans and specifications.
The proposal to discontinue the
Mill st. trolleys in Morrisville met
with opposition from officials from
that borough. Attorney Lewis r.
Bond and Mayor Stockham appeared
in the interest Of that community.
The hearing was continued until
next Monday, July 7th. 1t is ex-
pected an carly decision will be
rendered.

WEATHER HURTS
NEARBY FARMS

Farm crops in the vicinity of Lam
bertville and New Hope show quite
variance, at this time, due to the
unusually wet weather that has pre-
vailed since late in the winter.
Some farmers, whose lands have
clay bottoms, have not even planted
corn, while others, with well drained
shale or sandy soil, have not only
planted, but in some instances are
eultivating their corn.
Corn, generally, is further advan-
ced on the Pennsylvania side of the
Delaware, within half dozen miles
of New Hope, than ON the Jersey
side within the same distance of
Lambertvlle. This is due princip-
ally TO the character Of the soil On
the other hand, some Of the best
corn seen is along Sandy Ridge,
four miles north of Lambertville.
Some of the farmers are now cut
ting and moving away their hay,
but, as one man said yesterday, the
rake and the wagon should follow
the mower MS closely as possible,
because few hours may make a
lot of difference,
There is plenty of fruit on the
trees, but many of the cherries, now
rpening, have rotted from the wet
weather. Many plums have been
shaken from the trees by the wind
storms, but peaches seem to hold on
tight and promise to be "A large
crop. Strawberries are large in
size and plentiful in quantity, but
somewhat lacking in flavor.
Last year at this time it was very
dry, and farmers were hoping for
rain so that the growing crops might
be saved. 1t il this variety Of wea-
ther that makes farming the biggest
gamble on earth, and yet no other
manufacturer or producer keeps on
regular schedule regardless of pro
fits or losses like the farmer.

ago, on July 4th, 1776, group of
freedom-loving pioneers of this

declaration of freedom that has re-
suited in making this the greatest
country in the world. 1t kindled the
flame of freedom that continues to
spread around the globe.
We reverence those men with
thankfulness for starting us on the
upward path. The anniversary of
that day has been set aside for COM
memoration of the greatest epoch
in human history. The mighty wheels

FinkIe'S Truck Goes
Ub In The Air

Lambertville-Joe FinlSle, the we'll
known junk dealer, often goes up in
the air himself, but his heretofore
faithful fivver trucks have stayed
service. However, on Monday morn
ing one of Joe's trucks began to
caper and cavort around like a buck
ing broncho when Bill Colligan, the
driver, tried to impose on it.
Finkle had bought all the old
machinery and junk from the now
defunct wire mill on North Union
street, and carting the last of it to
his yard Monday morning. Bill plac-
ed about two tons on the truck, but
didn't balance the load. Most of it
was placed in the rear of the faith
full vehicle. Then Bill and his father
got in and started the engine When
it was started it did the shimmy
for few turns, then snorted and
reared up on its hind legs like a
frisky broncho. Colligan Senior
jumped for his life, but Bill hung
on to the wheel with dazed ex.
preston on his face, expecting the
worst to happen any moment. But

BOYS KILLED BY
ELECTRIC WIRE

The funeral of Andrew and Frank
Loieski, brothers, killed by escap-
ing electric current on their fathers
farm near Lahaska, last Thursday
morning, was held at st. Martins
R. G. Church, New Hope, and inter-
ment was in the adjoining cemetery
under the direction of Worthington.
The accident, which was a particu-
larly sad one, was an aftermath of
the severe windstorm of Wednesday
evening, which did extensive damage
in this section.
1t appears that one of the high
voltage electric wires passing near
the Lojeski farm had broken and
been repaired during the night. In
pulling it up in the darkness the
wire had caught on the underside
of telephone cross-arm, branch
line of which led to the farm of
the boys father, Stanley Lojeski.
This was an abandoned line, and a
wire from it came into contact with
wire fence, in the orchard near the
house. The father, going out early
IN the morning saw blaze where
the wires crossed, and having an
idea as to the cause, hurried to a
neighbor's to phone to the electric
company that one of their lines was
in bad shape. While he was gone,
the boys came out of the house, and
in an attempt to head off some cows
which were out of their pasture,
started through the wire fence. The
leaking current hurled them back,
unconscious, to the ground. They
We're taken to the house, the acci-
dent having been witnessed by other
members of the family.
Medical aid was hurriedly sum-
mon, but Andrew, aged ID, was dead.
Every effort was made to save the
younger brother, Frank, aged 10,
but he died without regaining con-
seriousness.
1t was reported that the boys had
received the full voltage of 13,200
that is used on the transmission line,
but this was an error. Such volt
age would have burned them badly,
and they were only slightly burned.
The electric wire did not actually
touch the telephone wire, or there
would have been display of fire
works, but it came so close that
some of the current leaked across,
and through the telephone wire to
the fence, and the boys completed
the circuit when they attempted to
crawl through the fence.
State police are investigating to
determine the responsibility for the
accident. 1t is said that the high
tension wire was pulled clear Of the
telephone cross-arm short time af-
ter the accident, when the condition
was known.
In some sections of the country
barb wire fences are grounded" at
frequent intervals to carry away
lightning, which frequently strikes
the fence, running along until it
comes into contact with cows or
other domestic animals that often
crowd against fence during
storm. This was virtually the same
condition that confronted the Lojeski
boys, and of which they were una
ware.

LOCAL SCHOOL
OVER SlS9,OOO


The Lambertville Board of Edu-
cation rejected all the bids for the
enlargement of the High School
building, and the remodeling of a
portion of the Third Ward building.
at Monday nights meeting.
The combined bids for the High
School building, amounted to $751;
147.50, for the low bidders, and
$199,f09 for the high bidders.
Third Ward work totalled Ss,679
on the low bids, and SS,S64.50 on the
high bids. The single bid for the
general construction at the Third
Ward, S6,579, was considered excess
sive for the work to be done, and it
was necessary to throw out the other
bids, as none of the plumbing or
electrical work could be done unless
the alterations were first made.
The total low bids for both High
and Third Ward schools amounted to
S1S9, ,S26.50, and the total high bids,
Sl99, 700. These figures ought to
completely dispose of the arguments
of friends of the Board of Education
to the effect that they had no inten-
ton of spending any large part of
the $lS5,000 appropriated for that
purpose.
