PANIC ON THE
HUDSON "EL. !"
The Car Is Suddenly Tilted
One Hundred Feet in
the Air.
PASSENGERS IN A JAM
Rush to One End Helps to
Stop the Car and All Get
Out Uninjured.
PASSENGERS IN A JAM

There was panic in crowded North
Hudson car on the elevated structure of
the North Hudson County Railway in
the vicinity of Ogden avenue at 7:30
O'Clock this morning The car was crowd
ed with more than one hundred passen-
gers.
AT Ogden avenue the ferry-bound sur
face cars are obliged to climb more or
less steep grade to reach the elevated
structure, on which they are switched to
the main down track. The structure is
reached at about the edge of the cliff,
just beyond which it is nearly one hun
dred feet from the ground. Extra power
is used in climbing the grade from the
surface down track.
The wheels of the forward truck jump
ed the tracks at the switch and the front
of the car slowed around and smashing
heavy wooden guard rail bound over it,
tearing away a portion of the outer rail-
ing. The car was projected several feet
over the side of the structure, one hun
dred feet in the air before it was brought
to standstill.
STARTS A PANIC.
The panic created was intense. Men
and women screamed and fought to reach
the rear end of the car Some climbed
through the windows. Some of those
on the rear platform jumped as soon as
they realizer the forward wheels were off
the track. The rush of those forward for
the door and rear platform made jam,
and, it is believed, that the panic after
all ayerted a terrible calamity, for the
weight in. the rear of the car drew the
wheels down so hard that the motorman
was materially assisted in bringing the
car to a standstill
HUNDREDS DELAYED.
Traffic was blocked some time and
nearly a thousand people. bound for work
across the river, walked down the ele-
waited structure to the Hoboken ferries
Many went by way of the one hundred
steps at the foot of Franklin street.
No one was injured seriously during
the panic, but suffered greatly from
shock as they realized their perilous posi-
ton.

FAGAN'S LATEST
The Mayor Tries to Buy the
Shrievalty Nomination
From Colonel Sam.


The latest rumor from the Republican
camp is to the effect that Mayor Pagan
wants to dictate the nomination for
Sheriff. 1t is said that he is willing to
trade off the appointment of the new Po-
lice Commissioner, who will succeed DR..
John D. McGiH next January, with Col
onel Samuel D. Dickinson for the priyil-
ege of naming the Shrieyalty nominee.
Dr. McGill's successor will have to be
some kind of a Democrat under the law,
which provides minority representation
in the Board.
Republicans laughted today when they
heard this story, and said that it was
really very amusing indeed. They would
not be surprised, however, if the Mayor
had suggested proposition of that kind.
They did not think, they said, that the
Colonel would accept His Honors offer
TO trade unless Pagan would give him
something to boot.

HObOKEN BAD
Rev. Mr.. Meade Expresses
His Views While Secur-
ing a Boy IS Release.

The Rev. Charles L. Meade, of the
First M. e. Church of Hoboken, appear
ed in the Recorders Court today as coun-
sci for William Scnoppe, fourteen boy,
who was arrested charged with stealing
rope from a drydock at the foot of Four
teenth street.
Mr.. Meade secured the release of the
boy on the ground that he was not old
enough to understand the nature of the
offense with which he was charged.
'Hoboken is a remarkable city for
juvenile criminals, 'ahe said. Il never
was in city where there were so many
young people arrested. The police re-
cords of the last six months prove that
there should be an institution in Hoboken
for the correction of this growing evil.
Il agree with you in that" said Re-
corder Stanton. 'sThe sooner we have
such an institution here the better it will
be for Hoboken Sending boys to Jail
does no good. They become hardened
criminals, and are worse when they are
released than before they were put in
jail.'
