Wagon Gets on the Wrong Way and
Newark TROLLEY Fixes III. !,

While John ]. Schwarz of No. IT'S New
York venue, Newark, was driving a
wagon owned by William Thompson, a
soda water dealer of No. 95 Front street,
Newark, his wagon was struck at 9:25
o'clock, last evening, by a trolley car and
wrecked. Schwarz became confused while
crossing the Plank Road draw over the
Haekensack, and instead of keeping the
road. followed the track to the right.
Here he bumped along over the ties until
he found it impossible to turn out, be-
cause of the guard rail on the side.
Motor No. 800 of the Plank Road line
came along just then from Newark at a
fair rate of speed. The motorman threw
off the current and applied the brake,
but to no purpose. The wagon was
struck and driven along the track for
fifty feet. Then it went over the guard
rail into the meadows.
Horses and driver came off practically
unhurt. The proprietor of the outfit,
VIM. thompson, was not SO fortunate.
He was thrown SO violently to the track
that he was unable to rise without as
sistance He was sent home in a New
ark-bound trolley car. He is believed to
be injured internally.
This morning the wagon and twenty
two soda water fountains lie on the
meadows. A bag of tools and six bottles
containing essential oils are at the Fourth
precinct station house.

BHCKER'S ALIVE
He Proved 1t in Court this
Morning-His Wanderings
in the West.

Frederick P. Becker, who has been
judicially dead since last May, proved
to the entire satisfaction of the Orphans
Court this morning that he is alive. Not
only is he alive but he looks healthy and
vigorous, and, as he is only 50 years
old, his chances for remaining alive for
many years to come are good. A News
reporter asked him how it felt to be
dead. "Oh, 1 don't know he answered.,
Il don't think it's any worse to be dead
than to live in Hoboken."
Becker, it will be remembered, is a SON
of Philip Becker, the furniture man,
who died about sixteen years ago, leav-
ing a comfortable estate. Frederick dis
appeared about eleven years ago. and
the estate could not be settled on ac-
count of his absence. Last May, on
the application of his presumed widow.
the Orphans Court declared him dead, to
all lntents ana purposes, and the widow
was appointed administrator of the es-
tate.
Fred's brother Charles, who seems to
notifying him of his Judicial death. That
brought Fred back, and then it became
Incumbent on him to prove that he was
and told something of his history. He
was in Boston when his father died,
and came home to attend the funeral.
about a year. After that he started
West and has spent the last ten years
in the West and Northwest. In that
time he has not been east of Denver
until now.
William Werkless, of Hoboken. Fred's
brother, and the executor of Philip Beck
er's estate, positively identified him.,
General -Heppenheimer and Lawyer
Hughes moved for the annulment of the
proceedings declaring Becker dead. The
Court granted the motion, but insisted
that Mrs. Frederick Becker must be
brought to court before anything fur
Their is done.
