FAIR BuRJkN IN BARROW.
Clasps at the Carrying Out of
odd Wager.

\ social sensation cane early the
other morning to give the town of Free
hold, Y. j., New Years boost. and the
episode is likely to be the topic of talk
for many years To come. At a card
party in one of the homes of the So
cial set William 5. Brown, cookbook
ing bachelor and weli-known business
man, was the butt of some lively jOk-
ing, and one of his tOrmeutors Was the
wife of Frederick Parker, son of the
late ex-GoN. Parker and widely
known lawyer. Tle good-natured ban
ter went on for some time when sud
denly Mr.. Brown cried to Mrs. Parker:
"Iou daren't take morning ride in
a wheelbarrow."
II dare ii you dare to wheel it, re-
torted Mrs. Parker.
an do it in the morning as sure as
the sun rises"
When the good-nights were said Mrs.
Parker thought that that was the last
of the joke. but early in the morning
when an expresSman unloaded wheel
barrow at her door and said it was
from Mr.. Brown. she began to have
chills up and down her spinal cord. She
said nothing. however, and when, a lit
tie later, Mr., Brown appeared and said:
~ am ready" Mrs. Parker could only
get ready for the ordeal. She donned
a big sunbonnet that covered her face
well, wrapped her largest cloak about
her trim figure, jumped into the wheel
barrow. and off the team started.
Both the principals blushed vigor-
ously as Mr., Brown pushed the bar
row and its lovely burden down the
street. The windows of the neighbour
ing houses were filled with curious
faces. all a>toniShed at the performs
ance.
Mr. Brown wheeled the barrow few
hundred feet down West Main street
as far as Undertaken Freeman's resi-
dence, where the trip ended, Brown
and Mrs. Parker have received many
congratulations upon their pluck.

. Trade Because Of Missouri
River Franks.

The states of Nebraska and Iowa are
preparing to exchange large bodies
of land which, during the last 20 years,
have managed to get on the wrong

many changes which that stream has
made in its bed at that time. East
Omaha, a manufacturing suburb of
Omaha. Neb., is on the west side of
the river, but is in Iowa; ten miles
above Omaha large farm containing
several thousand acres is in Nebraska,
although on the east side of the river.
The same is true of dozens of farms
scattered from end Ito end of the sdi-
vivding line.
Surveyors are now preparing maps
and plans which will be presented at
the coming session of the legislatures
which will permit of the two states ex-
changing lands and reestablishing the

ENGINEER DIES OF INJURY
Makes Statement Before Death Concerning
Jersey Central Wreck,
BLAMEs OTHERS FOR THE CATASTROPHE
Genera Manager of the Road Says
the Engineer Passed seven
Red Lights and Disrc-
ERrdcd All of Them.

P~LAINFlELD, n. j., Jan. 29.-Engineer
James B. Davis OF the Reading train, which
ran into the Easton express near Grsceland
Tuesday night, died in the Muhlenburg hos
pital today.
The other victims of the wreck who arc
in the hospital are reported to be doing as
well as could be expected, but 1t is feared
several may not recover.
Chief Of Police Kelley Of Plainfeld ad-
mits that he obtained an important state
ment from Davis, the engineer, and also
from Fireman Mccarthy.
Davis was told he could not live and was
advised to do all he could to explain the
circumstances OF the accident and throw
any light he could upon the cause.
Places Blame on Others.
1t is understood HI he defended himself
and placed the blame primarily on others
connected with the New Jersey Contra
road, but not a hint as to the nature Of the
statements could be learned from the chief,
directly.
Chief Kelley says both statements, which
are regularly sworn to, will be made public
at the proper time by the proper ofieials.
General Manager Bessler denied today
that a train order sent to Crawford for the
express was received too late to be deliv-
cred to the express train. ura
Mr.. Bessler said that the order was re-
ceived ia time and a red signal was set as
usual to notify the engineer that there was
an order for his train at hat station.
THE red light at Crawford was two miles
from the scene OF the werck, yet II was dis
regarded" he said, "as we'll as the red Ian
tern swung by a crossing tender farther on,
and all the red lights and warning signals
seven OF them. 1t is strange what the en-
gineer of the express was doing along
there"
Judge Vail called the attention OF the
Union county grand jury today to the ac.
cident. 1t was the jury's duty, he said, tC
make a careful investigation and IL they
found the accident due to negligence ar
Indictment for manslaughter should b,
found.
County Attorney English said he woult
arrange for 4 special session OF the grand
jury
