] DEATH OF J. E.REYBURN ONE OF CAPE MAY'S GREATEST FRIENDS AND A MAN OF NATIONWIDE REPUTATION AND FAME. MOURNED BY MANY WHO KNEW j HIM HERE. 'John' Edgar Reyburn, ex-Mayor of j Philadelphia and a former member of j Congress, died unexpectedly at his { Washington residence at one o'clock ] Sunday monring, January 4th. Death ] came as a result of an attack of heart disease. He was almost 69 years old. Tbi body of Mr. Reybura was brought j tp Philadelphia last night. The funeral occurred on Tuesday after- _ noon at 2 o'clock from the Key burn home, 1822 Spring Garden street. The scrvioe was conducted by the - Rev. Dr. Charles ' Wadsworth, Jr., former pastor of the North Broad Street Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. Dr. Robert Hugh Morris, pastor of the North Broad Central Presbyterian Church. Interment will he private in the family vault in South Laurel Hill Cemetery. •There was no warning of the fatal ^ attack. Mr. Reyburn was in this city o nSaturday and decided to spend Sunday with bis wife and daughter in Wash - ingtoto. After dinner Saturday night at the family residence, 1745 N. • street, Northwest, with Mrs. Reyburn and Miss 1 Reyburn, the ex-Mayor remained indoors and retired about 11 o'clock, apparently in the -best of health. f An hour or so later, or shortly after midnight, Mr. Reyburn arose and went f to his bath room. Mrs. Reyburn heard him groaning and in great alarm went to his assistance. She found him un- | conscious on the floor. Mrs. Reyburn called the family physician, who came at once. Restoratives were applied, but I ' Mr. Reyburn did not recover conscious- > ness and died leW thsu an' hour after ' lie was stricken. •John E. Reyburn and his family, were formerly for many years summer visitors to Cape May, owning and occupying a large cottage on Columbia avenue. In 1888 he established organired baseball by securing the erection of a 1 park and the employment of a team consisting *ef college players fropi Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania and this feature of the resort's amusements has continued up to date. He was always very active in everything which could advance or assist Cape May and is entitled to be remembered as one of the best friends •Cape May ever had. For some reason connected with bis family, he severed his connection with Cape May early in the ^OOs, but has always maintained a friendly interest. He was highly esteemed by everybody here who knew him, and during his career in Congreas ^ I used to speak of Cape May friends as , his "Cape May constituents" and gave as much attention on their visits to the ' National capital during the sessions of j Congreas as he would have given the : most noted of his friends and support- i era. It was always useless at any time • during his political career, to persuade j any of his "Cape May constituents" , that he was anything but the soul of < and integrity. They knew him 1 well enough to know that while a most 1 forceful character, he was as "square" any man could be. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A ► The following verses were written by Dh-vM S.

SYSTEM OF [ G00DR0ADS PEOPLE OF LOWER TOWNSHIP AND WEST CAPE MAY ENTITLED TO ' CONSIDERATION AND PROTEC- ® j ' TION IN THEIR RIGHTS AS CITI- ' I ZENS AND TAXPAYERS. , ' Probably the most popular -public i work in tins county and' perhaps in the '• i state, is the creation of a system of s { roads throughout the county and State It which shall meet the demands of' mod(l i ern times. In our county the progress ' m this direction has been so great that ' state roads are fonnd everywhere and L .he building of a few miles more will t niake the system absolutely complete. This is cause for rejoicing. There is no occasion, however, for the dimming of the lustre of this achievement by our n Board of Freeholders, by attempting e anything that will be oppressive or inr. jurious to any part of -the county or to r any of its people. It will be necessary, „ therefore, to go slow with the proposals , to do away all the grade crossings, on the way to Cape May, beginning with the Sallie Marshall Crossing, about five 1 miles above here by creating new roads n and thus practically eliminating the great boulevard which has cost the j county^ many thousands of dollars to place in its present condition, placing y all residents and all property thereon i- on a back road, which will have been practically abandoned, if the new plans t go through. The loss to Lower Township to the borough of West Ope May, *• and to the hundreds of property owners s along this road, would run into h vast ' - amount, and no public body should con- ,. template for a movement, the infliction of such losses upon the large number of people who would thus suffer. There is no logic to support such an act and t the special pleading which may be inI dulged in will be sdfe&fily shdri) of its t pretences and its spgeiousness ■ readily understood, when it-jJjnes before the public. The railroads nRind an estab1 lished road, established Settlements all c along it, homes existing, farms laid out, t and in the building of their routes so as to make so many crossings, took their Chances and assumed all .responsibility. If these crossings are dangerous, as undoubtedly they are, it is up to j them to make them safe by slich de- . vices and auch warnings and" su^ protection as may be necessary, am hundreds of property owners who are not - responsible, should not be made to suffer I by the erection of new roads at their L expense and to the detriment of their properties. The least U0&. should be done for their protect f&Oom loss and 1 for consideration of theffias thrifty citizens. to whohi the new project or projects may mean Tuin, is to permit of exhaustive examination and debate in ordcr that the sense of these communities may be thoroughly taken, and justice meted out. Up to date such infor- , mat ion as is extant is not complete, nor ! luis it undergone the scrutiny of anv but a very small number of those most interested. Before anything is decided upon there should be the widest public- * ity and the most careful consideration. *• FREE SEEDS The Department of Agriculture is be- ' ginning to make arrangements for the 1 annual distribution of flower and vege- : table seeds.
