TWO MEN KILLED
Erst Bound Erie Train Runs
Into a Gang of Track
Walkers in the Tunnel
Many Woanded

At M.40 o'clock last night an east
bound passenger train in charge of En-
gineer Walter Coble and Conductor John
Gwyer, ran into a gang Of track work
ers at the western end of the Erie Rails
road tunnel. The men were on their
way to supper and were chatting merrily
when the train struck them. One saan
was killed outright. Two Others died in
the City hospitals shortly after their ar
rival. There had been a wreck in
which no one was injured, but the east
bound track was covered with the wreck
age. In coming out of the tunnel the
men on their way to supper, it appears,
took the west bound track looking only
to the front for danger. They did not
seem to realize that it was necessary to
look behind. when the news of the wreck
having been flashed from a signal sta
tion nearby to the depot caused other
trains to be switched to a west bound
track
Anyhow, the west bound flyer struck
the crowd from the rear. The force of
men had been employed by William Al
len. of No. 800 Tonnele avenue, foreman
OF the gang. Shana Monester, of No.
1S1 Twelfth street, was cut to pieces.
His remains were taken to Hughes's
morgue. John Doliski, of No. 100 Van
Wrinkle avenue, had both legs badly
crushed and died later in the City Hos
pital. Wincitz Kuscislsi, of No. 17e
Twelfth street, also had both legs crush
ed and was taken to the City Hospital,
where he died.
The injured, who are yet alive, are:
Powell Trezciaki. of No. 816 Newark
avenue. who was badly injured about the
head and body and was taken to the City
Hospital in an ambulance; William Dit
treck. Of No. 327 Hoboken avenue, left
leg crushed and body injured, taken to
st. Francis Hospital in ambulance, and
George Yarsich, No. 16 Elm street, bad
" injured about the head and body and
taken to City Hospital.
Other men were injured. but managed
to reach their homes.

inquest last night at Harrison Towr
Hall, Harrison, into the death of August
steir, Of Jersey City, who was found
dead on Saturday morning, November
%, near the trolley tracks just west Of

Coroner had caused to appear before the
inquest all the crews Of all the trolley
cars which had passed the spot where
the body was found covering the several
trips prior to the time the body was
found, they could throw no light on how
the man came to his death. The jury

the testimony.

Mr.. G. w. Rudyard, formerly resi-
dent of Elizabeth and Westfeld, but
who now lives in New York, sends "The
News the following letter.
Editor of 'eThe jersey City News
Why not step across the river to our
neighbor, progressive little New Jersey,
and examine her election laws and bat
lot forms and methods with view to
adopting them?
Over there her people seem to get
pretty near to a full. honest and convinc-
ing expression whenever they vote.
Here in New York we are dubiously lis
tening to the jealous and misguiding adj
vocates of an Observation-Disclosures
setts. ballot, that cumbrous and confus-
ing sheet poster Of offices and names,
which obstructs and annoys us in the act
of voting, and which. in the all impor-
tant count, has and will provoke honest
doubts, fair and false protests, disputes,
delays and inevitably wrong results in
the figures.
New Jerseys ballots are small, con-
venient and available for all voters,
whether regular, independent or other
wise They are uniform. are type
printed, and the voter makes his own
choice from the full variety supplied by
the election officers in the polling place.
If New Jersey community wants to
elect a jerome or Colby, the use Of the
little one-name ''pasters' on any ballot
does it.
The voting is wholly secret (the ballot
being. enclosed in an envelope sealed, is
simple, rapid, effective and the count or
canvass of the ballots is a process of
common sense and simple arithmetic.
There is no rank nonsense concerning
imperfections of cross-marks. their loca-
ton, lines or angles, as the ballots speak
plainly and conclusively in type. In the
case Of a judicial review there is no pre-
text upon which to quibble over Illegal
ity of markings
Let the expert ballot reformers of this
town and state study sensible New Jer-
sey's way and gain wisdom.

South than in the North for all classes
Of population. Perhaps the fairest basis
Of comparison betwsen the two sections
is that for native white children living in
cities Of over .25,00O inhabitants. In the
North Atlantic division the iIliteracy for
this class of children is 2.1, and in the
North Central, 1.9; in the South atlantic
division it is 8.3, and in the South Cen
trail, 1871. In considering the significance
of such comparisonstt should be remem-
bered that the South has a larger NUM-
Der Of children in proportit to popula-
tion than the North and a smaller per
capita wealth, The South is, moreover,
handicapped by the necessity of main
tanning separate schools for whites and
negroes.
It seems somewhat surprising at first
to find lower degree of illiteracy among
the children of foreign born parents than

For the former the proportion Of Hitter
acy is s.S per 1000, for the latter al
per 1000. This difference. however, does
not prove that immigrants are more
anxious than natives to secure for their
children the advantages Of an elementary

that the foreign born are concentrated
in the larger cities to much greater ex-
tent than the native population. Com
parison for individual cities indicates
that there is little difference in illiteracy
between the two classes of children liv-
ing in the same community. But such
differences as can be detected are usu-
ally IN favor Of the children Of native
parents.

There are lot Of so-called Democrats
holding Office under Democrats heads
who for some unknown reason did not
support the party candidates at the re-
cent election. The party leaders SHOULD
make an investigation. Whenever they
find man given an Office by Democrat
and who could not see his way clear to
support the party candidates, he should
be made to pack up and get out. If the
Democratic party is not good enough
for him he ought to be made to under
stand that no Office at its disposal is good
enough for him to hold. A wedding out
of this kind would tend to strengthen the
party, as there are any number Of loyal
Democrats who would approve such
action. When a man gets an idea into
his head that he is better than his party,
that man should give up the office he
holds and if he does not do so willingly
he ought TO be summarily dealt with.
