Baker, Jacob
Trenton, New Jersey, Jan. 1.
Melancholy Occurrence
On the evening of the 25th ult., one of the workmen attending the Fulling Mill of Mr. Jacob Baker, on the Assanpiak,
a few miles from this place, by the name of Morton, was suddenly deprived of his life, in the most distressing
manner. It is supposed (no other person being in the mill at the time the accident happened) that, in some almost
unaccountable manner, his clothes or limbs were caught by the machinery, and his body thus precipitated into the
trough where the hammers play. In this situation it was mangled in the most shocking manner. A brother working
in an adjoining building, finding the mill had stopped, which was effected by the obstruction which the body of
the deceased had occasioned in the play of the machinery, hastened into the mill where the distressing spectacle
of the mangled corpse of his deceased relative but too painfully explained the cause. [April

KARGÉ, GENERAL JOSEPH
Our whole town has been shocked the past week on hearing of the sudden demise of Professor Joseph Kargé
in the streets of New York on Tuesday afternoon.
Professor Kargé was popular with the students and with the townspeople. On several occasions he has delivered
lectures to our citizens and in places abroad. For a term he served the Borough as one of its Councilmen. He was
a communicant of the First Presbyterian Church. He had a home of his own here, also one at Bay Head. His funeral
took place from his residence yesterday at 1 o'clock, and he was interred in our cemetery. Dean Murray and Rev.
H. G. Hinsdale, his pastor, conducted the services. The circumstances of his decease and an outline of his life
were given in the New York Tribune of Wednesday morning, which account we herewith append --
"Among the passengers who boarded the Pennsylvania ferryboat that left Jersey City for New York at 3:30 Tuesday
afternoon was an erect, well-built man, whose commanding presence and soldierly bearing instinctively attracted
the attention of the other passengers. He was Joseph Kargé, professor of Continental languages and literature
at Princeton College. By his side as he walked to the upper cabin were Professor Hermann C. O. Huss, his assistant,
and Henry B. Fine, professor of mathematics at the same college. Professor Kargé was apparently in the best
possible health, although it was known that he had lately been troubled with attacks of heart failure. The Christmas
holidays had given him a few days' vacation, and he was about to spend it in New York, partly with his son, Ladislas
Kargé, who has a law office at No. 239 Broadway, and partly with Henry F. Taber, of No. 42 East Twelfth
street.
All through the journey to New York he had been in good spirits, laughing and chatting with even more than his
usual animation. With Mr. Fine and Mr. Huss on either side of him, Mr. Kargé walked to the fore part of
the cabin and took a seat by the window. Just as the steam whistle sounded for the start Professor Fine, who had
been looking out of the window at the river, heard a short cry, and turning quickly around saw that Professor Kargé
had fallen over in the seat. In the same instant several passengers rushed over to him. Mr. Huss and Mr. Fine loosened
his shirt collar, bathed his face with water, and used all means to restore him, but when the boat touched the
New York slip Professor Kargé was unconscious. Then he was carried to a hack, which was driven at great
speed to the Astor House. Dr. Farrington, the hotel physician, ran downstairs to the hack. Professor Kargé
was dead.
At the suggestion of Dr. Farrington, the body was taken to Naughton's undertaking rooms, No. 35 Mott street, and
word of the death was sent to Ladislas Kargé, who took charge of the body. Deputy Coroner Conway gave the
usual permit, and early in the evening the body was sent to Princeton. Read bio [Princeton Press, 31 Dec 1892, Submitted By: John A. Riggs]
Lambert, Alfred
January 15, 1882- Alfred Lambert, of Hopewell township,
near Harborton, committed suicide Thursday morning by shooting himself in the mouth with a pistol. He arose as
usual with his wife in the morning, but did not leave the room until after she had gone, which was unusual, and
it is since supposed that he waited for an opportunity to get his pistol. He came down soon after and ate his breakfast.
His son and workman went to the barn and he went to the woodshed. Soon after a smothered report was heard by the
family, but was not recognized as that of a pistol. When found he was dead and the pistol lay near him. He had
evidently shot himself in the mouth as the upper and lower jaws were fractured, the tongue and flesh about the
mouth were badly mangled and torn by the explosion. No cause could be assigned for the act, but since last Friday
he looked flushed, slept badly, ate less than usual and seemed nervous. He was about 44 years of age and
leaves a wife and five children. Dr. J.S. Lanning, of Woodsville, was called and notified the county physician.
The case being clearly one of suicide a burial certificate was given-Emporium. (submitted

Stout, Noah T.
March 29, 1882- Last Tuesday Mr. Noah T. Stout, who resided about two miles south of Hopewell, took his fishing lines and went to Titus's mill pond
to fish. Not returning that day nor during the night, search was made for him when his dead body was found on the
banks of the pond, by D.B. Cox. He had caught two or three fish, one of which was on the line. What was the cause
of his death can be conjectured. As there was no evidence of any struggle his death must have been very sudden.
He was about 77 years old. (Submitted by Shauna Williams)
