been the most valuable prize captured
on the high seas during the Rebellion.
The cargo was overhauled and then a
pathetic discovery was made. There
were boxes upon boxes of mourning
fabrics-black cotton, crepe and dark
goods-for the widows and fatherless
girls of the South. Then there were
medicine, fruit and other articles of al
most priceless value to the enemy.
THE English captain of the Banshee
explained his capture by saying he had
run out of coal, but the Fulton's men
said his bunkers were we'll supplied.
When she entered New York harbor
with the prize, the wharves, front
streets and housetops were black with
people, and the Fulton's crew was
treated to an ovation all the way in.
Seven hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars went to the officers and men of
the Fulton as their share of the prize"

for Merrick Road Crossing.

Hampstead. Long Island. Aug. Coroner Archer
B. Wallace to-day handed down his decision in the
inquest over the deaths OF the three men. who. on
the evening of July u. while out in automobile
were struck and instantly killed by a Long Island
Railroad train. at the Merrick Road crossing,
Rockville Centre The decision was as follows
Frank Coreu came to his death from broken
neck and fractured skull Frank snyder death

body. ard Gene :. Jeweifs hemOrrhage from
depressed fracture OF the skull The testimony
given shows that the engineer and fireman were

hagman stationed at the crossing did everyIh
apparently possible in the circumstances 10 avert
the collision. It is required that pedestrians
else u proper and due amount of caution when ap-
, reaching grade crossing Of a surface railway.
The evidence shows that the occupants of the
automobile, Coreu. Snyder and Jewell did not
exercise that proper caution, and hence through
their own carelessness and negligence they lost
their lives
However. must criticise the Long Island Rail-
road Company Tor not having gates at such an
important grade crossing as is the Merrick Road
The large amount of traffic over this crossing dur
ing the number of years past. and several serious
and fatal accidents. clearly indicate that that
crossing IS not sufficiently protected through the
service OF a iagnan. OF course. the safer way
would be to eliminate the grade crossing and
nave either an overhead underground crossing,
out as long as this Merrick Road crossing at this
particular point is continued ar grade. the railroad
company should as q matter of safety have gates
erected there.
therefore recommend that the State Board OF
Railroad Commissioners issue order directing
the Long Island Railroad Company 70 erect gates
