ACCIDENT ON THE CENTRAL
A Man Meets With Fatal Injuries Near
Bergen Point Station.

A Man Meets With Fatal Injuries Near
Bergen Point Station.
The way train on the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, leaving New York at two
thirty o'clock yesterday afternoon, ran
into man who was walking on the west
bound track, between Bergen Point sta
ton and Newark Bay The train was
stopped and the conductor halted the
Long Branch express, on which the in
jured man was carried back to Bergen
Point station.
DIR. Nolan was summoned, and at once
pronounced his injuries fatal, and short
Iy thereafter he was taken to the Eliza
beth Hospital The injured man was
badly mangled, but the worst injuries
were on the head, and he was uncon-
scious. From papers in his possession it
was learned that his name was Thaddeus
w. H. Garner, and it is supposed that he
was either q medical student or had been
q clerk with a Dr. Il. w. Stevens, who
resides at No. 40 Willow Place, Brooklyn.
Several letters were addressed in care of
that gentleman, and others also in care of
a Mrs. Houseman, on Staten Island.
Nearly all the letters were from the man s
sister, Miss B. NJ. Garner, Englewood. n.
j. and were couched in the most affec-
tionate terms. From their purport it
could be gathered that he had been some
what wayward, for he was reminded that
he had been long away without notifying
her of his Whereabouts. He was appar-
emily about nineteen years of age, re-
spectfully dressed, and had the general
appearance of an educated man.

WHO SOAPED THE HORN2

Our readers may remember the
story of the "soaping" of the signal
horn. The story runs that when a
certain revivalist celebrity took up
the horn to summon the worshippers
to service, after dinner, one day, he
blew strong blast of soft soap all
over the astonished brethren. It is
also said by the chronicler of this
''item" that the brother was so wroth
at this joke that he cried out aloud:
Brethren, I have passed Through
many trials and tribulations, but moth
ing like this. have served the min
istry for thirty years, and in that time
have never uttered a profane word,
but I'll be cussed if can't whip the
man that soaped that horn"
Well, this is a story, but we have
from a reliable authority something a
little stronger in the sequel to the
same incident. This is given to us as
follows:
Some two days after the horn-soap-
ing tall, swarthy, Misunderstanding
desperate strolled on the grounds and
leaned against tree, listening to the
eloquent exhortation to repent, which
was being made by the preacher.
After awhile he became interested,
finally affected, and then took a posi-
ton on the anxious seat, commenced
groaning in "the very bitterness" of
his sorrow. The clergyman walked
down and endeavored to console him.
No consolation-he was too great a
sinner, he said. Oh, no-there was
pardon for the vilest. No, he was too
wicked-there was no mercy for him.
"Why, what crime have you COM
mitted" said the preacher: "have you
stolen?"
sob, worse than that!'
"Whatl have you committed per-
jury|
"Worse than that-oh. worse than
thatr'
Murder, is it?" gasped the hor-
rified preacher,
"Worse than that! groaned the
smitten sinner.
The excited preacher commenced
"peeling of" his outer garments.

judge.
II think you are right" was her reply.
"At first / could not believe-I had al
ways looked up to you as to sort of
elder brother-I could not imagine you
as the husband of my little daughter
my own son-in-law. But l think you
are right. Pauline is little girl no
longer; in almost everything but years
she is older than l; she is fitted to be the
wife of man even so much older than
herself as you are. No one of her own
age would suit her as well"
"Then you will not be against me9' he
said, starting up.
Indeed, will not. All that l do shall
be done for you" She put her hands in
his, and he grasped them warmly. 'It
is more than half selfshness in me-" she
added. "It would give me some right
to rely on you. l should not feel so
lonely"
However this may turn out, always
know that you may rely on me- the
Judge returned, with deep feeling "Our

Pauline, when the question is put before
her, decides against me-and am fully

indeed, if wished to help you, should
not do it by singing your praises to her.
You being what you are, the best thing
to do is to leave her to find you out for

"If Mr.. Martin be my rival, resumed
the Judge, ''let him have his chance and
defeat me if he can. If he be the better
man it will appear; and God forbid that
should make her my wife knowing that
she would have been happier with an
other But if love go for anything, l
love her well, and in all my life she is the
first and only woman have loved"
"You might. have rivals more danger

mother, with another smile, and so the

good whip, fair billiard player; his
spirits were exuberant, and he had more
mental resources and ideas than are
vouchsafed to the generality of young
gentlemen of his kind. Thus he assumed,
to some extent, the position of leader
among them; and, as he was uniformly
good natured and yet not to be imposed
upon, he was liked and not laughed at.
But his favorite companion and friend
was Valentine Martin. The two men
were nearly the same age, Martin being
il little the elder, and were good deal
alike in size and personal appearance.
Martin, being English, wore side whisk-

''That may be all right, or it may not.
At all events, you will see that you should
proceed with some circumspection. The
rules that apply to our young men do
not necessarily apply to foreigners. Mr..
Martin may be much better educated,
and have more polished and quiet man

that the peculiar circumstances might

There was manifest embarrassment
in the judges manner. Mrs. Nolen

there was something behind all this, but
she could not divine what it was.
