Presently he paled and caught his

strange. peaceful happiness.

that there are many oyster schools.

his lordship from any station to any
station" on the Northeastern Railway.
This valuable gift was presented to
his lordship by the directors of the COM
pany named to mark their appreciation
of the great services Lord James rem
dered in the celebrated dispute that
ragged a little while ago between the
directors Of the company and very
useful portion of their outdoor staff.
That dispute threatened at one stage
of the proceedings to dislocate the
whole of the traffic on that railway, but
Lord James was called in as arbitrator
and mainly through his fundamentally
the dispute came to an end, his award
pleasing both sides. His own award
followed in the shape of the solid gold
pass.
Besides those already mentioned three
others are held by prominent members
of Parliament, these men being railway
directors. One is the chairman Of the
Great Northern and the other two are,
If we mistake not, Mr. Mellor and Co.'S
mo Bonsor, the two latter men being
connected with lines which have done
yeomen service in the railway world.
Mr.. Mellor is on the board Of the Metro
politan and Mr. Bonsor on that of the
Southeastern, and all these legislators
have worked hard on various railway
bills.
In addition to this V. c. of railway
patronage directors of railways carry
out the same principle, but in less
expensive form, for services rendered by
any of the public in cases of emergency
by the comforting of special free pc Z, IS
of a second degree. These are specially
designed leather permits, which are
availa BILE from point TO point of rail-
ways company's system, and, unlike or
binary seasons or ordinary passes, need
never be renewed, except when, per-
haps, wear and tear necessitates the
giving up of the old pass for a new
one.
To get a permanent free pass of this
class a man must have done some

act of courage-like that for exam
pie, performed by oliver Fisher of
Horsham, who once averted a disaster
on the Brighton line. Seeing a log of
wood thrown across the rails as he
was out for. walk one day, lie jumped
onto the line and removed it just in
the nick of time for an express to
pass.
Naturally, it would not do for a
railway company to give away on a
wholesale scale permanent free passes
to ali who think they ought TO have
them. So there is in vogue among the
railway companies a third division, or
class, and anyone who is fortunate
enough to be gazetted to is can get
a free pass of the ordinary kind when
ever he wants it.
But, as in the other cases already
mentioned, this favor which, again, is
rarely conferred, is only awarded for
distinguished services, and It may be
accepted in the light of a railway COM
pany's thanks for such services. Rail-
way accidents are few and very far
between in these days of train-signal-
ing improvements. but when one does
happen and willing hands help, the
company on whose line the affair has
happened gives no money awards, but
instead. the names and addresses of
helpers are taken and made a note of
at headquarters, and letter of thanks
follows, together with the informa-
tion that whenever pass is required
for a holiday Jaunt the company will
be pleased to issue one under the spec
ial circumstances.
That is the usual mode, but it is
subject to modification, according to
the rules and regulations of the diff
ferent companies.

carriages in the procession were almost
overcome with nervous excitement.
Soon after o'clock the trip to the GEM
etery was begun from Twenty-first and
Wharton streets, and at 3:45 o'clock
the hearse was just about turning into
Woodland avenue from Gray's Ferry
avenue. A carriage had crossed the
tracks, but a trolley car which was
coming toward the crossing did not
slacken it's speed when the hearse came
into full view.
A rear wheel of the hearse was struck
by the fender. and in a moment the
hearse was on its side. and the horses
were running away. Leech, taken en-
tirely by surprise, had no chance to
save himself, and he was dragged by
the overturned vehicle in the midst Of
splintered wood and broken glass. The
coffin. crashing around in the hearse,
tumbled into the street, but was strong
enough to prevent the body falling out.
A barber at No. 1904 Gray's Ferry ave-
nue. rushed out and caught the fright
ened horses in time to save them from

When he was picked up Leech was I'M
conscious and he did not regain con-
sciousness until last evening at the
University Hospital. There it was
found that he was severely cut and
bruised about the head and face.
The drivers Of the carriages in the
funeral procession and a number of
men who quickly gathered at the scene
of the accident turned their attention
TO the coffin and, though it was badly
splntered, they were able to carry it to
a nearby porch. r. G. Kelley, the I'M
dertaker in charge of the funeral, tele-
phoned to J. Goodman, of No. 215 Fitz-
water street, owner of the hearse. and
another was hurried out to replace the
broken one.
Meanwhile several hundred persons
gathered about the demolished hearse
and the broken coffin. The mourners,
however. did not alight from their car
riages, and Mr.. Kelley. as soon as he
was able, resumed the trip to the ceme-
terry. At the grave the mourners were
completely unnerved by their exciting
experience. and 1t was feared that some
OF the women would collapse.
