CORNELIUS VREELAND's DEATH.
Evidence That He Threw Himself
Under an Erie Locomofiye

Cornelius Vreeland, forty-eight years
old, of Rutherford, died in st. Francis
Hospital, Saturday night, of injuries sus-
tanned by being run over by an Erie
Railroad engine in the yards at Pro
yost street. 1t is alleged by William H.
Trott, who was in charge of the engine,
that Vreeland threw himself under the
rear trucks.
Engineer Trott says he was backing
down into the yards with a dead engine.
About five hundred feet west of Provost
street he saw two men on the track. He
did not blow the whistle but kept ring
ing the bell. The engine was running
slowly and he expected, he say to see
the men jump out Of the way. Suddenly
one of the men threw himself face down
across the track. The real trucks passed
over the body before the engine could be
stopped. The injured man was removed
to st. Francis Hospital at once.
Harry Reed, another railroad man, was
with Vreeland. He tried to catch him as
he threw himself forward and in doing
so was almost thrown under the engine.
Cornelius Vreeland, with his brother
Harry, had engaged in the butcher bust
ness in Rutherford. They lost consider
able money. After a lively dispute Sat
urday night, Harry Vreeland asked Reed
it is said, to look out for his brother and
not allow him to commit any rash act.
Vreeland was married about six months
ago to an estimable young lady of this

of Music.

The cen of "In Old Kentucky
which will be given at the Academy of
Music this week, are laid in the romantic
Blue Grass State. The story tells of a
bitter mountain feud-a species of VEN
delta for which that State is noted. There
are many telling situations and exciting
moments in the play and there is realism
in abundance. The heroine is a pretty
mountain girl and the hero is a scion of
the Blue Grass aristocracy. There is a
realistic horse race which is an honest
race, and there is q band of picKaninnies
who create no end of amusement. In
Old Kentucky" has every element of pop
ularity.
b scenery of the play is said to be
of any other American drama. There viii

Every Hudson taxpayer should vote
and induce his friends to vote against
the Passaic bridge scheme. It IS q steal
from beginning to end. It is intended
to defect money and business into New
ark and away from Jersey City and
Hoboken.
Tie method of voting here, by the
way. is to be radically different from that
adopted in Essex. Here, the proposition
will be printed on The ballot, with a
blank space at the beginning fer the
word For or Against TO be filed in.
This is a scheme ON the Part of County
Clerk Fischer TO aid along the annexa-
ton scheme. Many voters will omit to
bring a pencil to The polling place. or
out Of carelessness will omit to vote.
Ballots not filled in viii not be counted
and so the Affirmative ballots of the
Republican plottcrs and the Harrison and
Kearny annexation ring will carry the
day.
In Essex they have printed for each
party separate official ballots with the
Affirmative and With the negative on
the bridge question printed on them. OF
course the vote will be largely afirma-
tive in Essex, it being largely to the
profit of that county and to our loss
that the bridge should be built.
The only way to beat the job is to
take a pencil to the poll with you, and
fill in the word against" on you ballot in
the appropriate place.
