AFATAL ACCIDENT.
YOUNG MAN KILLED ON THE DELA-
WARE RAILROAD YESTERDAY.

YOUNG MAN KILLED ON THE DELA-
WARE RAILROAD YESTERDAY.
A fatal accident occurred on the
Delaware Railroad yesterday afternoon,
whereby James Chambers, q young
man about 25 years of age lost his life.
He was brakeman on the passen-
ger train north due in this city at sos
D. m. The circumstances of his death
are about as follows:
The deceased was sitting in the rear
car in seat alongside Of John Ma
honey, Supervisor of the Delaware
Railroad, conversing with that gentle
men in his usual animated way, and as
the train neared Green Sprlng Station
he fancied that he heard q noise as
though something was wrong with the
track.
Standing on the side track at the
station mentioned was freight train
bound north. When Mr.. Chambers
heard the noise he left his seat, and GO
ing out upon the platform tosk hold
Of the hand holds, and swung himself
out for the purpose of looking under
the sar. AS he did SO his back was
turned to the freight train standing on
the side track, and he did not notice it
Of course. In swinging out to look
under the car he went q little too FAR,
aud as the car upon which he was
standing reached the hind car of the
freight train, the unfortunate young
mans head came in contaet with 1t
with such force as to knock him from
the train.
Mr.. Mahoney, with whom he had
been sitting, missed him and not see
ing him on the platform rang the bell
for the train to stop. The train was
quickly stopped and run back to where
the accident occurred. As the train
hand approached the young man for
the purpose Of picking him up he
seemed TO give q gasp, and then re-
main quiet. The employees on the
train waited for a few moments to see
if he gave any further signs Of life as
they could not believe that he was
dead. DR.. K. D. Shakespeare of Phila-
delphia, who was ON the train, made
an examination of the body and found
that the back part of the young mans
head had been crushed in and that
death had been instantaneous.
The force Of the blow was 80
great that he had been hurled
some distance from the where the ac-
cident occurred. When found blood
was oosing from his ears aud IL was i'm
possible TO stop the aoW even two
hours after he was dead.
The deceased was the only support
of his widowed mother, whose grief
at the sudden death of her only boy
cannot be told In words. He had been
u in the employ of the company about
seven years and stoed next in line oi
promotion. He was universally 70.
spected by all who knew him not only
in this city but all along the line.-
Among the employees of the road he
was highly esteemed, and when he was
pronounced dead by the physician, Mr..
s. d. Duncan, the conductor of the
train, became completely unnerved,
while Mr.. Hitch the baggage master
was overcome with grief.
Mr.. Chambers was engaged to have
been married in about q month to q
daughter OF John 5. Jakes, q well
known merchant at Wyoming.
Coroner Weldin and Dr.. Ogle made
an examination of the body and gave
q certificate of death.

Prohibition Agitation.

EDITOR BRooKHAvEN LEDGER
In as much as this all important subject
has been briefly alludedt to in the announce
ment of n of our officials, DIR. V. B.
Watts, who is still aspiring to higher posi-.
ton, | would like to reason a little with the
voters and good citizens of this county,
Our aspiring friend being one of the first to
discover the possibility of a revolution IL
the event that Prohibition should succeed
possibly has imagined the probability of an
attact from the prohibitionist during the
present campaign of office seekers, and is
prepared against small shot. 1t is well
enough for him to set forth his stern opposi,
ton to rings, cliques, crucuses, Bourbon
Democracy, monopolies, etc." Then his
tasty approval OF a free ballot, fair count
regulating railroad tariffs, etc, that he
might have something to bear him ON to
the position he desires. Notwithstanding
his iiimsy opposition to the Prohibition
movement, wherein he attempts to demon
allie the people by abiding to the necessa-
ry high tax revolution and. arrangement
OF the public school system, our aspiring
friend declares he will never vote to take
away any part of the privileges or liberties
OF the people. Does he mean to oppose the
law prohibiting gaming and profanity as it
now stands? These are simple privileges
and liberties people have when not restrain
ed by law, and these are important laws, as
well as the public school law. We appre-
bend no danger Of a revolution or anything
detrimental to the free school system and
are willing to risk high taxes and vindicate
the Prohibition movement. The Prohibi-
ton law in the State of Maine has never
lead to revolution. PRoHIBrTIoNIsT.
