Camden Post-Telegram —
Speeding Machine Wrecks Iron Standard Encasing Lifting Device
AUTOIST DRIVES ON AFTER CLOSE CALL
Crashing through the safety gates of the Morgan Boulevard crossing of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad at two o’clock this morning, a motorist, whose identity is not know [sic], narrowly escaped being struck by a fast freight train.
The crossing, the scene of a number of fatalities during past years, was littered with glass and splintered wood this morning.
According to the night watchman at the crossing the gates had been lowered to permit an inbound freight to pass. A speeding motorist was proceeding west on the boulevard. He failed to see the gates in time to stop.
After tearing down the gate on the east side of the track, the car crashed into the iron standard encasing the lifting device on the west side of the crossing, breaking the big iron standard into six pieces, and toppling the heavy safety gate to the highway, narrowly missing the automobile.
Before the watchman could reach the machine the driver speeded away toward Broadway and disappeared north on that thoroughfare. The license number could not be discerned.
The freight train was but a few feet from the crossing when the motorist crashed through the gates, the West Jersey watchman reported to his relief man at seven o’clock this morning. He said the locomotive of the freight missed the automobile by inches.

Fire Guts 5 Vacant Camden Homes
Camden Courier-Post —
Engine Company #8 prepares to go in service with its squirt at 719 Morgan Boulevard, August 17, 1995.
CAMDEN — The three-alarm fire that destroyed five vacant homes early Thursday in the 700 block of Morgan Boulevard has been ruled an arson.
One city firefighter was taken to Cooper Hospital/University Medical Center in Camden, where he was treated for electrical shock and released. It was not immediately known how he was injured. His name was not immediately available, said Deputy Chief Fire Marshal John Mills.
Mills said the blaze started on the porch or just inside a vacant home at 719 Morgan Boulevard shortly before 4 a.m. It quickly went to three alarms as the fire spread to homes at 713, 715, 717 and 721 Morgan Boulevard.
Firefighters arriving on the scene found the two-story wood-frame rowhomes fully involved in smoke and flames and immediately began protecting an occupied home at 723 Morgan Boulevard, separated from the other homes by a small alley. Five residents of that home were evacuated, but were allowed to return home about an hour later, he said.
City firefighters fought the blaze for about 50 minutes before declaring it under control.
Mills said all the homes had been vacant for several years; several of them already had been damaged by previous fires. He said vagrants and homeless people were known to frequent the homes, and said several people were seen running from the home shortly before the fire was discovered.

Camden Men Back from World's Fair
John A. Burke and Grandson Declare It Is Greatest of Exhibitions
High praise and commendation for the world’s fair at Chicago was voiced by a Camden man and his grandson who have returned home after spending all last week at the exhibit.
The sojourners to Chicago were John A. Burke, of 516 Gordon Terrace, a member of the Camden Lodge of Elks, and his grandson, Hobart M. Luther, 17, of 807 Morgan Street, a student at Camden High School.
“In my estimation,” said Burke, “the world’s fair is the finest exhibition that I have ever seen. I have attended fairs all over the country and this one excels all others.
“I found much to marvel at in the science and transportation buildings. The crowds were tremendous and the railroads were doing a rushing business. There were comparatively few automobiles from other states, but my grandson and I counted 580 taxicabs which passed one point in an hour on the way to the fair.”
While in Chicago Burke and his grandson met Floyd Gibbons, the radio announcer, and paid their compliments to him on the success of the exhibition.

Farmhand Electrocuted In Salem County; Lineman Dies at Woodbury
A lineman was electrocuted at Woodbury and a farm hand at Woodstown yesterday. Walter Higgins, 40, of 901 Morgan street, Camden, survived two previous experiences only to lose his life at Woodbury. William B. Peterson, of Whig Lane, Pilesgrove, Salem County, lost his life while plowing a field.
Higgins came in contact with the wire shortly after the noon luncheon period ended, while working atop a 30-foot pole. Fellow workmen sought to revive him while the Underwood Hospital ambulance was speeding to the scene. After he was taken to the hospital, attendants tried for three and one-half hours to resuscitate him. Finally Dr. Ralph L. Moore pronounced the man dead. Higgins was employed by Public Service. Coroner W. J. Burkett, of Pitman, took the case.
Peterson was plowing a field when he noticed a wire hanging from a road light in his way. He stooped to pick it up and throw it over a fence. As he did the wire came in contact with a high voltage wire overhead and he fell. Elmer Evans and Paul Duffy, nearby farmers, ran to his aid but were powerless to help him as smoke was coming from his shoes. Dr. C. Walter Thomas, Woodstown, pronounced him dead. Coroner B. Noel Gross issued the death certificate. The youth was one of six children of Mr. and Mrs. Burr Peterson.

Tonight—Polish Citizens vs. Tenth Ward, at Pyne Poynt Park; Colored Citizens vs. Campbell’s Soup, at Dudley Grange Park. Friday—Central Camden vs. Fairview, at Ninth and Morgan streets.
Walt Whitman turned in somewhat of an upset in the Rhone Twilight League last evening when it handed the Polish American Citizens Club, first half champions, a 9 to 4 pasting at Ninth and Van Hook streets.
As a result of the game the two clubs are now in a deadlock for fourth place, the Polish having split even in eight games and the “Poets” dividing six combats.
Art Watson and Jim McGinnis worked on the hill for the champs and gave up six hits, but walks and an error played a big part in the Walt Whitman triumph. However, Reynolds was in splendid shape for the “Poets” permitting the Whitman Park aggregation but three hits.
Johnny White, captain of the Polish outfit, was responsible for his team’s markers, getting two hits in three times, both having a hand in the scoring. One of his clouts went for a home run with men aboard the sacks, while his other was a two-bagger. The other Polish hit was garnered by Watson.
Frank Kulesa and Von Richie led the attack for the “Poets” with two hits apiece, both of the latter’s going for home runs, while the former had a double and a single.

Captain Mortica M. Clark Retires After 30 Years as City Fireman
Camden Courier-Post —
Oldest Member of Department in Point of Service Honored by Fellow Workers, Officers and School Children in Exercises at Station House
Camden’s oldest fire captain in point of service retired yesterday after more than 30 years of answering alarms.
He is Captain Mortica M. Clark, who was honored at a gathering of fellow firemen and officers.
The exercises, which included the presentation of a fishing rod and reel, a ring, smoking utensils and flowers, took place at his home company’s headquarters, Ninth and Morgan streets. The presentations were made by Fire Chief John H. Lennox.
The gifts were from his staff, other captains, the Three-fifteen Association, local school children and his family. Captain Clark expects to pass considerable of his time fishing and boating near his home at Palermo.
“He is one of the best firemen and one of the best leaders I have known,” was Safety Director Mary W. Kobus’ tribute to him.
Captain Clark served as senior captain for 21 years and during his years with the department was never late for duty. He never reported any of his men for any violation of the rules. Many times he was cited for heroic acts.
During the State Street church fire he dragged Chief Peter N. [sic] Carter from the flaming building as the roof collapsed. He rescued four children from the burning Mary J. Ball Home and worked 49 consecutive hours during the Hollingshed fire last July. He was responsible also for efficient work at the Kaighn avenue ferry blaze and the fire at the Graves Varnish works, Twelfth and Federal streets.
In addition to his wife, Emma, Captain Clark’s family includes four children, Mrs. Florence Kolman, Catherine, George and Archie.
