MISS KILEY KILLED BY TRAIN.
RUN OVER HEN IN PRESENCE OF
HER MOTHER AND SISTERS.

stood Too Close 70 the Track and Was
Struck by the Engine and Her Leg Cut
On-Died In the waiting 10 om-Family
Grief Stricken NJ the Accident.
Mrs. John Kney Of Scarsdale, with her
three daughters, Winifred, Lavipa and Rose,
was waiting on the station platform at
Scarsdale for a northbound train to take
them to White Plains about $50 o'clock
yesterday morning. Rose, the eldest
daughter after talking with her mother
and sisters a few minutes, left them and
started up the station platform for stroll.
Mrs. Kiley and Winhred and Lavina
went on talking and paid no attention to
her. The White Plains train roared through
a bridge $50 yards south Of the station and
slowed down, passing Mrs. Kiley and the
two daughters with her at the south end OF
the platform. They picked up their lug
gage and were about to call to Rose, when
they were startled by cries from others on
the platform who were waiting for the train.
The mother and daughters turned around
Just in time 10 see Rose knocked from her feet
and hurled in front Of the locomotive. The
train was moving very slowly. Ten seconds
after the girl had been hit 1t came to stop
The girl had been walking too close to the
edge Of the platform. Not realizing her
danger when the train came in, she did not
step further back. The heavy cross piece
OF the pilot caught her in the side and threw
her directly in front OF the engine. She
managed to SCI amble part way OF the track,
tu: one wheel passed over her right leg,
cutting it of. Her shoulder was cut and
80 was her head.
TIE mother and the other daughters were
half crazed. Some of the men carried the
girl, already dying, from the track to the
waiting room OF the station. A stretcher
was improvised, and Or. Austin of Tucka-
hoe was telegraphed for. He came in ten
minutes. but he saw at once that the girls
life could not be saved. twenty-five min
utes after the doctor got there the girl died.
The mother and sisters begged to be taken
into the room where the girl was lying, but
it was not thought advisable that they
should see her then. Afterward they were
admitted.
The home OF the Kileys il in Central
avenue, Scarsdale. Mrs. Kiley told DR.,
Austin and others who were at the station
that she would not be the first to 60 home
and break the news to Mr.. Kiley. Dr.
Austin got young man of the name Of
DWyeT, WHO uNes LII tIe to"u, W ~ W VIC
Kiley home He told the father as gently
as possible. but the old man was overcome
when he realized what had happened.
The mother and sisters went home after
that and the body of the girl was taken
there.
The platform at Scarsdale is on the left
side OF the track. The fireman did not
notice that Miss Kiley was dangerously
close to the train and the first intimaton
that he or the engineer had that an acct
den, had happened was the warning cries
of thelp, ople on the platform.
Thu family used to live in this city.
Twenty five years ago John Kiley ran a res
taurant at and Bowery. He has been
retired about fifteen years.

TRUCK DRIVERS ORGANIZING.
Summers . Bad Time for Striking, Says
Their Chief, but Wait TIL winter.

In response to a call from the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Transfers mass
meeting OF truck drivers was held last even
ing in Palace Hall in Thirteenth street for
organization purposes. Edwin Gould, first
vice-president Of the union, was the princi-
pal speaker. He said that last summer
when the agreement was made between
the truck drivers and the Truck Owners
Association, trade was slack and there
was little demand for men. Lots of men
were looking for work, and would work
cheap.
But when winter comes" he said, eve
will be in a different position. The ground
will be frosty and slippery, and nobody
will be able to drive trucks through the
crowded streets Of New York except regular
truck drivers
Three-fourths OF the men present agreed
to try and get at least one individual to
join the union before the next meeting.

Is, 900 tons, the largest cotton seed oil
plant in the state will be erected to re-
fine cotton seed oil and manufacture
same into various by-products, and in
turn the refined product will be made
into compound lard and soap.
In connection with these enterprises
an ice plant will be erected with ca
pacity Of 125 tons.
Mr.. w. II. Mckenzie, president of
the above stated enterprise, stated that
the plant would be one of the largest
OF it's kind in the south, and would en-
ploy several hundred men in its oper-
alton
Work has actually begun and the
same will be ahurried to completion
within the next few months, so the
finished output from the various plants
will be sold in the Atlanta and sur
rounding markets within very short
time.
The plant is located on the Seaboard

COLD PIECE

A few weeks ago Mr.. E, L Faw, Of

piece turned down at the bank as
counterfeit. To all appearances there
was not flaw in it; it was perfect in
all external appearances, but the piece
of money was devoid of that clear mu-
steal ring that good money gives out.
The five dollar gold piece when drop
ped on piece of marble had dull
sound as if 1T was lead. Mr.. Faw had
taken in the money in the course of
daily trade and could not positively
tell from whom he had received it..
Any one would take the money ii not
tested as the genuine stuff. Mr.. Faw
wrote to the authorities at Washington
about it, explained the piece of gold
and how perfect it was. He was advis-
ed to send the money to Washington
for examination. He did so, and a
crisp five dollar bill was returned in its
stead. 1t was stated that the money
was genuine five dollar gold piece,
but in mlnting it, small defect caused

deemed and retired from circulation.

SUMTER ORCHARDS
Enterprise of the Bagley-
Gober Peach Orchard
Company.

The Atlanta correspondent of Macon
Telegraph says: The Bagley Gober
Orchard Company of Sumter county,
destined to be one of the largest enter
prises Of this character in the state,

ing $i8 900 has been purchased and work
will at once be commenced. Judge

planted in peaches rs soon as the land

from the nurseries of Judge G. F.
Gober, in Cobb county. The varieties
that are to be planted are Elbertas,
Carmen, Hiley, Red River and Belle Of
Georgia, all of them early varieties.
Judge Gober says that peaches from
this orchard should be ready for ship
ment twenty days earlier than from
the orchards of the upper portion OF the
state, and that the fruit should COM
mence to ripen early in June.
Judge Gober is the largest individual
