The Milford Disaster
Excitement continued great all through the past week in the vicinity of the terrible
railroad calamity at Milford. Workmen had much difficulty in removing the broken
engine and cars from the creek, and hundreds of people lined the banks of the stream
eager to see the work accomplished and to see whether any of the bodies of the lost were
recovered. It is now believed that eight persons lost their lives in the disaster.
One body, that of Jonathan Thornton, the engineer of the ill-fated train, was found
last Thursday morning by Frank Collins, a farmer, floating in the Delaware river at
Robbins' wharf, opposite White Hills.... On the same day the body of Manhattan Smith,
of No. 8 Turpin street, Trenton, was found floating in the Delaware, at Tumble, by

Sad Death of Lemuel Pidcock
Mr. Lemuel Pidcock, of White House Station, who had been for some weeks in
the West buying sheep for the firm of Kase & Pidcock, was to return home
about the middle of February, and on the 13th wrote from St. Louis, to his
wife, that he was about to start from there. That was the last heard of him
until, in response to telegram of inquiry and photographs of the missing
man, sent to the principal points in the West by his brothers a dispatch
was received week before last saying that his photograph showed that he
had dided and been buried in St. Louis last month, as an unknown man. It
seems that he had been found near the East St. Louis Railroad Depot in a
dying condition, badly wounded in the head, and with no papers upon him to
show his identity. He had evidently been foully dealt with and robbed. He
was removed to a hospital and died on the 19th ult., and was buried by
the authorities. A Mr. Riley was written to by the family of deceased and
requested to forward the remains to White House. The remains were accordingly
sent on, and last Thursday the funeral took place at Lebanon. Mr. Pidcock
leaves a wife and young daughter to mourn his mysterious death.

Last week we published an obituary notice upon the death of Mrs. Grace
Brittain, of Lambertville, wherein we claimed that she was born in October,
1775. We had this information from the best sources, and there is no doubt
at all that it is authentic. The Republican and one of the Lambertville
papers, in announcing the death of the aged woman give her age as 101 years
and six months. We know not from whom these papers got their information,
but they have been misinformed. Mrs. Case, of this place, one of the two
surviving children of Mrs. Brittain, is in the 83rd year of her age, and
not in her 81st year as the Republican also mistakenly asserts. Let it be
properly recorded that Grace Brittain spent 104 years and 6 months amid
the ills and joys of life.

Saving a Life and Losing His Own
Charles Schneider, proprietor of a jewelry store at Newton, N.J., went to Swartswood
Lake on Sunday with J. J. Case, a dentist, who has a boat house there. While on the
water with a little boy of Case, in a very small, shallow boat, the child fell overboard and
Schneider sprang into the water and rescued him. After landing the child at the boat
house, and exchanging his wet clothing for a dry suit, Mr. Schneider started out alone in
the same boat. That was the last seen of him. His boat was found nearly full of water
two hours later, and an unavailing search has been going on ever since for his body. Mr.
Schneider was a German, about 33 years of age, had been married a year, and his wife is
about to become a mother. The woman's grief is very great and fears are entertained
that she will not survive. This is the first drowning accident on the lake in 14 years.

On Friday last a four-year-old daughter of Jacob Case, of Phillipsburg, showed
symptons of a fever. On Saturday morning Dr. Isaac Barber was called in and gave the
child several powders, with instructions when they should be given. In the afternoon
the doctor left the prescription for medicine that is generally used in such cases and the
same was taken to Gwinner's drug store to be filled. The messenger was waited on by
Edward Mosen, a young clerk, who recently came from Asbury. The clerk, instead of
filling the prescription as the note called for, gave Seidlitz powders. Mrs. Case says she
dissolved the powders and gave the child a teaspoonful. Soon after the child was seized
with convulsions and died at seven o'clock the same evening. Much talk was indulged in
and a Coroner's jury was called and heard the evidence of the parents, Gwinner, Mosen
and the doctor. They found that the child died from natural causes, but censured Mosen
for carelessness and the father for not attending to the medicine. - Warren Democrat.
