HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Edward Dewan Grabbed Hold of
Car and Was Dragged.

Edward Dewan, of this borough
had a very narrow escape from death
or serious injury last night. Mr..
Dewan has charge of the Parlin sta
ton and also the post Office at Par
lin and 1t has been MS cutsom every
night to wait until the train started
to pun out from the station before
hr locked up the station for the
night and then run and jump aboard
the train. Friday night he followed
his usual custom and boarded the
train when his foot slipped and in
order to save himself from being
thrown under the wheels of the cars
he grabbed the handrail and was
dragged about 500 yds this side of
Parlin station, where he let go and
dropped to the ground.
There were several aboard the
train who saw him being dragged
and they pulled the bell rope in or
der to stop the train, but they found
that the rope was not connected with
the engine, there being two freight
cars between the passenger cars and
the engine. The train ran as far as
Stoltis Grove before the engine could
be stopped, a young fellow having
climbed up on top of the freight cars
and signalled the engine to stop.
The train was backed up to where
it happened and they found Dewan
on his feet and apparently not in
jured with the exception of a few
scratches.

sional committee last year.
We'll" demanded Attorney Hughes.
you or some other officer of your com
pany knows how that money was
charged. | hereby serve notice upon
the Mutual company to produce those
accounts"
These facts were established at the
inquiry:
That nepotism pervades every branch
of the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany.
That the loading on Mutual pre-
miums last year amounted to $13.000,.
900 and the expense of getting in the
new ~ii6siness exceeded that sun by
more than $1.0OO,000.
That the Mutual doesn't desire a
policy@holder to deal directly with the
company. but with its agents.
That Robert II. McCurdy doesn't
know what his fathers salary is or
what the salaries Of any other officers
of the Mutual are, though on the
finance committee.
Thatithe Mutual Life has in all like
lihood violated IL of the most impor.

RAILROAD Y. M. "a.
Work Once More Start on the
Formation of One sere.

= Superintendent Heali of tho Rail-
road Branch of the NJ c. A.,
called on D. C. Chase hna Mr.. Dillon
Wednesday and requested them to
have the list Of names of the men de-
string n Join the 81 NJ. c. A.. organi-
zatiJn 10 uc formed in this borough,
revised and sent to the superinten-
dent. The committee did as requested
and the list of 297 names was SEN in.
Some of those whose names were on
the list, formerly having stopped
working for the T.. II r. company,
caused the number to be somewhat
less than when the idea was first
started, but it will be an easy matter,
it is Thought, to get the other three
names required TO make it 300. Mr..
Brown, the foreman of the dock car
penters gang, has plans out with the
several builders in town: Superinten-
dent Wierman has authorized Mr..
Hearns to complete the work provid-
ing the men are willing to stand by
it. The company has doubled their
donation for improvements to the
building selected. So everything in
connection with the association, so
long hoped for, looks promising, but
it is thought by some that a building
of that kind should be more publicly
situated than the one chosen. In sum-
mer it will be all right. but in winter
it will not be so pleasant for it will
be a long, cold walk from the borough
and not easy to direct strangers to the
same from other places desirious of
visiting them. The homes at the
head of Broadway and Main street
seem far more suitable.

Facts About Niagara.

Niagara river, in its course from
Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, falls a dis
lance of 627 feet. A survey by the
United States engineers, who measured
the flow of the river below the falls,
shows that it discharges 100000 cubic
feet OF water a second from the one
!ake to the other. By a simple calcu-
lation it appears that in its descent of
81 miles from lake to lake, Niagara
river develops the equivalent of about
e,000, 900 theoretical horsepower.
