NINETEEN KILLED IN A WRECK.
Terrible Accident on the New York Central.

The worst accident in the history of the
New York Central Railroad happened
SUNDAY morning, just before daylight,
between Garrison's and Highlands The
official statement of the company shows
that at least nineteen persC rs lost their
lives. and probably as many more were
injured. The wrecked train, the Buffalo
and New York special. was running
along a level and straight stretch of track
when. without an instant's warning aud
for some reason unknown the solid bank
gave way, carrying with il a wall Of
stone more than a yard thick, and the
engine and six of the cars of the heavy
train plunged into the Hudson river.
1t all happened in less thAu moment.
In less time than it takes 10 tell it the
water was rushing into the cars, and the
passengers, most of them awakened from
sleep, panic-strieken and shrieking for
help, were running hither and thither
trying to escape from what seemed GER
tain death. There were some who quick
ly recovered and with axes and such tools
as were in the cars, broke the win
dows and cut their way ont.
The accident seems to have been due to
strange conjunction of causes. \ north
east storm piled the waters into Long
Island Sound and New York bay. and at
Saturdays midnight high tide they were
pushed up the Hudson as through fun
mel. Unusually high water was recorded
all along the river. \ long drought left
the roadbed dry, and the water weakened
it. The river at this point is deep, close
to shore and the current sweeps the re-
taining wall with force. High tide means
swifter current, perhaps slight shifting
of the channel to the east. The leas; in
security of ledge rock or sand bottom
meant slide. The slide came the in
slant the engine reached the week spot,
and the train shot into the river. The
yielding water meant little shock, hence
the small injured list The result WAS
akin to a steamboat accident, the Dassen-
gers were either dro med or escaped

THIS is considered an off year in pol
ities, but with the Republicans of SOM
erset county there should be no such
thing as an off year This is year in
which we should not only elect our
ticket, but we should increase our last
years handsome majority. This we
can easily do, but in order to do so we
must get out our vote. This Chairman
Berkeley is anxious TO have done, and
would urge the County Committeeman
to see that there are no stay at homes
in their respective districts on the sec
ond day of next November. There are
always some in each dist let who are
slow about turning out, no matter how
important the issues at stake. These
voters should be sought out early in the
day and taken to the polls. With this
attended to, and these votes safely in
the ballot box not later than noon on
election day, the Committeeman can
then feel secure and absolutely certain
that Somerset county will give the rep
resentatives of protection TO home in
dUstries at least :, 900 majority. Repub-
lican Committeeman, will you not
pledge yourselves to see that the stay
at-homes are gotten to the polls not
later than ONE O'Clock On election day I?

The main building will be surmounted

county of Somerset's proportions is one
of great importance, and one in which
taxpayers are greatly concerned. 1t is
necessary that the county's unfort0-

omically accomplished. Practical ex-
perienee and business tact are necessary
TO success, and these qualities Mr.. Shoe

DoN'T forget that an Auditor Cen
eral and a State Treasurer are TO be
elected next Tuesday. The campaign
has progressed so quietly, and there is
such certainty of a Republican vie
tory, that the vote may be light. This
would be a great mistake. The admin
istration which the Republicans strove
so hard to elect last year promises to be
a grand success, and to show a want of
appreciation on the part of the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania would be fatal
mistake. Any serious falling off in our
majority would be paraded by our polit-
ical enemies as an evidence that public
sentiment had changed. Let every
Committeeman see that there are no
stay-at-hoHes in his precinct. Let ev-
cry Republican in the county go to the
polls on Tuesday, Nov. ID, and vote the
straight Republican ticket.
