CITY. This was only one Of many such
scenes 1t was horrible
Excitement Mt Atlantic City.
Atlantic City is Wild with excitement
From the moment the terrible news reach
ed the city, men on wheels, in carriages
on horseback, in stages and conveyances
OF every description were en- route to the
scene, and once there excitement ran SO
high one knew scarcely where to turn. In
deed, there was no room to turn. for every
nook and corner was crowded: horses
stages, wheels and people crushed into one
and the other. One could do nothing ex-
cept stand and gaze down on the track
strewn with dead and dying.
The tower. alongside of which the catas-
rophe occurred. is about a mile and a half
outside the limits of Atlantic City- and
about four miles from the West Jersey
depot. All night the railroad beds were
lined with people, and the PIeasantville
turnpike, which skirts the tracks was rem
dered impossible by the crowds which
surged alcng 1t and the teams which filled
it. Every one who heard of the accident
was frantic to reach the place at once and
inside of an hour the dead and dying were
surrounded by weeping crowds of friends
AS soon as possible relief trains were
sent out by both railroads, running every
fifteen minutes, bringing in the dead, dying
and wounded. Bonfires burned along the
upturned faces of those whose lives ended
so awfully.
No Nerves Could Stand 1t.
No nerves could stand the strain, and
the crowds soon began to return to Atlantic
City. Then there was a surging and crowd
ing which increased the excitement ten
fold. The widest rumors We're set afloat.
Some stories had 1t that 200 were killed.
and every one of Atlantic City's visitors
imagined that in that number were some
friends or relations. Every coach almost
was pressed into service. The people COM
ing back, sick and faint from the holo-
caust, met the throngs hurrying to see IL
they had friends among the dead, and the
panic grew worse every minute. The faces
Of the horror-stricken people coming back
told too terrible tale without a word Of
speech.
In the rush and push along the pike sew
eral people were injured, and one woman,
1t is said, had her ankle broken. All night
long the excitement prevailed. A special

The Oldest Inha bi,ants paid their respects
to the memory OF their illustrious Rcvolu'

of exercises at Metzerott Hall today.
The stage was resplendeDt in the colors
Washington fought to perpctuate. and the
insignia of the society wasprominent. a ban
ner with "Oldest Inhabitants" In gold let
ters on scarlet field being placed at the
rear of the platform, above 1t q figure or

The Marine Band supplied the music

tous address by Mr.. John Aarbury, jr.,
president of the association.
Col. j. Madison Cuts, secretary OF the
association, read 'WashingtOn's Farewell
Address" He prefaced the reading by pa
triutic uttcrauccs as an Introductory,
saying:
1T has been said that II Is wise for all
men to take counsel of their great heroes,
and reflect how they might have been more
wisely great. Equally prudent and ncces-
sary is it for nations to keep constantly
in review the fundamental principles upon
which their existance, happiness and wei
fare depend, and refer frequently to the
teachings of their sages. statesmen. heroes
and patriots.

The evening times., 1896-02-22

What made him for all times the type and
example OF the American citizen?
He Is the hest citizen who best reflects
the idea that his country expresses or sig.
nifies. Now, America means man, or
tile rights OF man, and Washington in
seeking as he did seek to GO justice to ali
parts OF tie country, TO all parties IN the
country, and 10 all religions OF :hc country,
inaugurated the hest American policy. and
in living up 10 1t became the type and ex-
eniplar OF the American citizen.
mo part or the country could satisfy
his love. He argued against sectional diff
fcrences, and blotted out all geographical
lines. He knew no North. no South. No
no East. and no West but the whole cOun-
try. the whole people. Nothing less could
satisfy his love.
In the face, then, of this broad, this
thoroughly American position and policy,
what would Washington have said to those
who array one party against another. one
creed against another, In bitter and deadly
hatred? What would he have said 10 those
who. in the name of America, would take
the bread from the orphan and shelter from
the poor? Is this encoura ging religion and
morality to oppose all religious institu-
tons?
Il say it Is not and in the name OF
George Washington denounce it. Equity
of all religion before the law and aid
and encouragement opposition-to all
who in the love OF God and the love OF
men feed the hungry and cover the naked.
Justice to all! Justice to all sections
and to all parties! Justice to all races and
to all creeds! For we have declared that
man has rights which antedate all condi-
uons. Observe this; save this policy, and
we shall succeed
