MUCH INTEREST
Is Taken in a Suit Filed Here
Today.
1t Involves the Settlement Of Large
Tract of Land.

An innortant suit will be filed in
circuit court this afternoon by Attor-
ney ". v.Eston for J.w. Hart against
W. s. Purdum, for the possession Of
an so acre track of land lying in the
vicinity Of Msssac.
The land IL is alleged, was willed to
J. W. Hart by his father ]. d. Hart,
to be held during his life time and in
case Of death was to go to Rubie Hart,
q daughter of ]. W. Hart. e. o. Ru-
dolph, administrator of the estate Of
J. d. Hart, brought suit to settle the
estate and asked for sale Of the so
acres which was ordered b, the court
in passing on the case. Il has now
been discovered that J. W. Hart was
not made a party in the settlement
suit and therefore has life interest
in the ground and the suit asks that
he be awarded the same. The suit
has created much interest among the
residents of Msssac and the outcome
is watched with interest.

It Win Probably moi be Over $3.50,
IL That Much.
No I'm provements Are Contemplated,
Judging From Appropria-
tions
SOMETHING OF PAST YEARS

Il IL probable the tax levy will this
year not DO over u. so on the 800 for
all purposes, no matter what the total
assessment proves to be. One OF the
aldermen said today he would not vote
for any levy over tl.bO. The levy last
year Is is we'll known 10 all tax pay
ers, was 81 SIS, and there is nothing
now TO show for IL.
Undoubtedly there will be some tall
shaving down when the appropriation
ordinance passed by the council comes
up in the board OF aldermen tonight.
There are several nf the appropria-
tions said 20 be too large.
In connection with the levy, 1t was
suggested by one official today that in
fixing II a was worth considering that
the tax levy for city purposes for the
six years preceding the present admin
istration was less than one dollar on
an average. This included the Re-
publican administration, when some
OF the city's most substantial improve
ments were made.
During these six years. including
Mayor Lang's administration, the sani'
tary sewerage was built, the street roll
Ter purchased. Oak Grove improved
the Are station enlarged and an addi'
tional one built and the aerial truck
bought, a number Of fills and bridges
built and thousands OF feet Of pipt
drainage laid, Mechanicsburg was Civ
en- substantial street improvements, the
brick street was built and sprinkler
and cleaner bought, and II there wa
any department Of the city govern
ment not run as well as IL has beer
during the regime Of the ti.s5 crowd
il Is not known what II was. Yet the
tax rate on an average, was less thar
a dollar for city purposes during thes'
six years with a smaller total assessed
valuation.
During the year past the tax rst'
was ti.s5 and over $3.50, 900 wa
spent, but the public has not been any
better of and there is nothing to show
for 10. II seems to be the general
opinion that such wanton waste Of
public money is inexcusable, and thai
the tax rate should be . great dea'
smaller this year. There will, IL II
hoped, be plenty Of money to run the
city in an economical, satisfactory
way, but there will be nc money ia
throw away this time, IL present re.
ports are true.

Specials from Lancaster, KY, an
nounce that Mr.. samuel Peacock was
killed at Jellico, Tenn, by the explo-
sion of a gasoline lamp. He is the
gentleman to whom Miss Lou Bright,
formerly chief operator at the East
Tennessee Telephone office here, was
married short time ago, according
to reports. Miss Bright left about Jam
uary s, resigning here, and married q
Mr.. Peacock near Lancaster, and they
went to Jellico. so there seems to be
no doubt as to its being the same one,

MANY SOULS PERISH
Terrible Wreck on the Central Of
New Jersey Last Night.
Bodies Taken Out, and Many Burned
The Injured Beg kescuers
TO Kill Them
WAS A REAR END CRASH

WAS A REAR END CRASH
New York, Jan. 2S.-One of the
most appalling railroad wrecks that
has occurred in the vicinity of New
York for many years, the estimated
loss of life ranging from twelve to
thirty persons, occurred last night at
Graceland, ON the Central Railroad of
New Jersey. near westfleld, N. J.,
when the Royal Blue Line express
plowed at top speed into the rear end
of local train.
After the crash three cars of the To-
cal train took fire, rendering impossi-
BILE the rescue Of many of the wound
ed who were pinned fast in the wreck.
The dead taken to the morgue at
Plainfield, are;
Edgar williams, q New York law
yer.
o. G. Sayer, Plainheld.
Harry @. Hand, New York City.
Harry Paterson. Dunellen.
George f. Red, Scotch Plains.
Thomas Cunning, Pisinfield.
Rowland Chandler, Plainfeld.
Edward Flynn, Plainheld.
In addition to these there were four
bodies unidentified at the scene of the
wreck.
The train which was run into left
New York at 5:45, runs as an express
to Boundbrook, making stops at Eliz-
abeth, westteld and Plainfeld. Be-
yond Boundbrook lit runs as local.
The Royal Blue train lsf. 10 minutes
later. It travels at higher speed and
makes no stops, except at Elizabeth.
and is scheduled to overtske the slow
err train just beyond Graceland, where
the latter switches from track three
onto track four to permit the Royal
Blue to pass.
This evening freight train was
blocked on track four ana the local re-
ceived orders to proceed on the express
track to Dunellen, ana there lake the
outside or No, 4 track. Shortly after
receiving orders the train had to stop
for hot box which delayed her so
that when she got under way again
she was due at bunsllen. She had
Just started and was moving slowly
when the Royal Blue travelling at full
speed which at that point usually APP
proaches go miles an hour, crashed into
the rear end.
The sight while the wreck was
burning was horrifying. Men could be
seen in the wreck pinned fast amid
the timbers Of the cars and struggling
to be free, while the flames roared
around them. The rescuers were help
less to aid them as they already had
been driven from the wreck by the
flames. One Of those who tried to
take out man pinned in the wreck
found that he was held down by one
leg near the ankle, End seeing that it
would be useless to do anything else,
is said to have finally severed the
mans leg and then carried him to one
of the parlor cars. The rescued man
and his rescuer were badly burned.
Those in the car ahead, which was
lifted over the rear car, suffered the
most. For some time before the
flames reached them from the car be-
lou and behind them they were en-
voloped In smoke and steam, and it
was here that the worst scenes were
witessed. The imprisoned ones begged
for death to end their agonies, and i'm
plored those who were laboring to get
them free to crush their heads with
the axes they were using to chop away
the wreckage.
