To Pay Personal Visit To

PLACE MORE LIGHTS

Charles L. Smith, clerk of Egg
Harbor Township, was authorized
to make a personal visit to the
Superintendent of the Reading
Railroad for the purpose of endea-
ypring to secure protection at the
Fire road crossing in the township.
last night at the Township Commit
tee meeting.
The crossing was the scene of
an accident which cost the lives
of a man and woman last Easter
morning, following which a coro-
ner's jury censured the railroad
officials and members of the New
Jersey Public Utilities Board for
negligence.
Residents of Egg Harbor Town
ship have pointed out that Fire
road is being used more and more
by residents and visitors in that
section. and that the crossing
should be protected. Their efforts

resulted in any action being taken
by the Reading.
The Township Committee hopes
that personal representation will
prove more effective than letters
which have been mailed at various
times.
The Committee also took action
to place lights in a number Of
crossroads throughout the Town
ship.

December 90, 1824-Gen. Lafay.
cites second visit to Washington this
Fall was signaliZed today by an ap-
preparation by Congress of 100000
lin compensation for his important
services and expenditures during the
American Revolution" The general
accepted the gift, which he described
as imposing and unexpected" in a
speech full of feeling. He said he
received the money as IAN old Ameri-
can soldier and an adopted son of the
United States--tWo titles dearer to
my heart than all the treasures of
the world Congress also voted to
give Gen. Lafayette a township in any
unoccupied lands of the United States
which he may select. 1t is understood
that our distinguished visitor will re-
main in this city until about March /,
and will then start upon a trip through
the South and West, which will take
him as far as the Mississippi River,
returning here late in the Summer to
take ship home to France.
December %, 1825.-The Capitol was
narrowly saved from destruction when
a fire broke out in the hall of the
Library of Congress. Edward Ever
cit happened to be passing near the
Capitol about II o'clock and saw a
light. He told the sentry on the
plaza to investigate. a small blaze
was discovered. which was fought
with difficulty, as there were no buck
cts and the distance to the pump on
the plaza was considerable. Persons
living nearby were routed out of bed.
They broke into the engine house and
carried several hundred feet of hose
into the hall. The damage was slight.
