AN AWFUL ACCIDENT,

While the Marrow Gauge freight train
at Atlantic City, was being drilled about
nine O'Clock, Saturday morning, one of
the sections struck ph8ton containing
three of the children of George E. Barnes,
of that city, which was at the time cross
ing the track, and injured them so that
they have since died.
Mrs. Barnes dressed her children for
their customary morning ride. Walter,
aged seven, and Willard, aged four, who
is an invalid, were placed in charge Of
Eddie, who is twelve years of age They
had about finished their drive, and were
on their way home up Arctic avenue.
AS they neared the crossing of the Mar
row Gauge Railroad several persons
present noticed the approaching train
and endeavored to stop the ph@ton con-
tanning the little ones, but were too late
The horse had barely cleared the track
when the car struck the ph@ton, carry
ing it and the children under the cars,
grinding the pheton into fragments,
crushing the children under the wheels
and throwing the train from the track.
A crowd collected at once, and the
children were removed from their peril
Gus position, but one of them was found
to be fast under a car wheel, and it was
found necessary to pry up the car to ex-
tricate the dying child. The unfort-
mate little ores were taken to their
aone on Pacific avenue, where the
youngest child died soon afterward.
Another fingered about an hour, and
then passed away, while Eddie lived un-
til about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The place where the accident occurred
is one of the most dangerous in the city,
and the railroad company is severely
condemned for not having flagman on
duty there. The matter has been before
Council more than once, on account of
narrow escapes, and that body ordered
safety gates there some time since, but
this, for some reason, has been neglected.

THE SUN.
NEW YORK, 1884.

About sixty million copies of the Su'a have
twelve months.
IL You were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all the sans printed and sold last year
you would get a continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense, wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of Mount
Copernicus in the moon, then back to Printing
House square, and then three-quarters of the
way back to the moon again.
But the san is written for the inhabitants of
the earth; this same strip of intelligence would
girdle the globe twenty-seven or twenty-eight
times.
If every buyer of copy of the sun during
the past year has spent only one hour over it.
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent an
other hour, this newspaper in 1888 has atfored
the human race thirteen thousand years of
steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or OF
its influence on the opinions and actions Of
American men and women,
The Sun is, and will continue to be- 4 news
paper which tells the truth without fear OF con-
sequences, which gets at the facts no matter
now much the process costs, which presents the
news of all the world without waste of words
and in the most readable shape which is work
ing with all its heart for the cause of honest
government, and which therefore believes that
the Republican party must go, and must go in
this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
Ii you know the Sun, you like it already and
profit during what is sure to be the most inter-
esting year in its history. If you do not yet
know the sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.
