A HORRIBLE DEATH
Engineer John wilder Crushed In
Sash Factory Machinery.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey city News."1
CAMDEN, June 25, 1S97.-John Wilder,
an engineer, of No. 42O Mechanic street,
Camden, was killed at his place of en-
pigment, C. B.. Coles Sons sash n
door factory, Front street, between
Kaighn's avenue, shortly after eight
o'clock last night.
Wilder had returned to his work after
supper and is supposed to nave been en-
gagged in oiling machinery connected with
the dynamo, and was caught in the large
belt. A scream was heard by a passer-by
who. when be entered the engine room,
saw the wheels of the machinery revolv-
ing rapidly while the belt was forcing the
body of the engineer between the heavy
wheel and the wall.
A boy who was familiar with the ma
chinery stopped the engine and persons
who had FASTENED to the mill endeavored
to remove the almost shapeless form.
Finding it an impossibility, the patrol
wagon was summoned. The policemen
saw that the man was lead and County
physician Jones was notified.
1t was found impossible to get the bodv
from Its position and it became necessary
for workmen to cut out one of the main
supply pipes against which the body was
Wedged. This was a difficult task. The
work of removing bricks and mortar was
begun at once. but it required a long
time to accomplish the work. When the
body was liberated County Physician
Jones found hat there was hardly a
bone in the body. He said that in
al MS experience he had never seen a
human body so badly crushed.

The High school commencement.

The commencement of the High School
last evening. was SO much better than
any which preceded it, that it cannot
have been accidental. There can be no
doubt that the new organization of the
i~nstructing body is having its effect. I'm
der the new principal and with the new
teachers, results are being produced
which were impossible when the schoo
was incompetently managed, and kept in
a state of Generalization by people who
could neither get on with each other nor
keep the respect of their classes. The
present corps of teachers consists Of
highly accomplished specialists, all en-
thusiastic in their field of work., and they
are giving a grade Of instruction not in
ferior to that which any other city affords
to its young people.
A very painful feature of the COM
mencement was the small numbe of
young men among the graduates. There
were only twenty-one in a total class of
n~fnety-one. 1t is sad that the youth of
the city should thus forego the advan-
tages which the taxpayers offer them.
There is far too much eagerness on the
part of the boys to get to work, to be-
gin m-oney-making, at the cost Of their
education. 1t is most foolish. They inn
pair their own business careers they re-
duce their own value as citizens. andrthey
curtail their capacity for enjoyment in
later life. 1t is a fact that. in the long
run. the more education a boy has, the
better and quicker he gets along even
in business, and 50 far from gaining any
thing in the long run by their haste.
many Of those who leave High School
early in order to get along quickly. find
their comrades who remained to gradu-
ate far ahead Of them in a few years.
The near future Of the High School is
1 somewhat embarrassing problem. There
are some s2s pupils admitted from the
grammar schools this year. Presumably
