South Amboy June 10:-Louis Oul-
ver is dead at his home here as the
result of an accident while he was at
work coupling cars on the Lehigh
pier at the Pennsylvania docks short
ly after o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Culver, who was dock foreman,
could not make the couplings, be-
tween two of the cars, work satisfao-
torily. He started to cross the tracks
between the cars, to remedy the situa-
tion, when a drill engine struck the
end of the train, causing the cars to
come together with great force. A
fellow -employe had previously called
to Mr.. Culver not to go between the
cars The unfortunate man either did
not hear or did not heed the warning,
and he was instantly killed. Coroner
E. E. Haines was called and he made
an examination.
1t was said by an eye witness to DIR.
Haines' examination, who spoke with
him, that Culver was declared to
have died more from fright than from
his injured, as his body was not
mutilated to any extent. His body
was taken to the adjacent Office, and
later to his late residence. He is sur
vived by widow, two children, both
parents, sister and a brother. Mrs.
Culver became hysterioal and is pros
trated.
