DAVID FE|G|N HIT BY
LONG BRANCH TRAIN
Grocer and Horse
J Met Their Death
East Night.
HOLD INQUEST.

southbound Central Railroad of
New Jersey express train struck d
wagon and killed its occupant, David
Feigin, of II Hall avenue, shortly
after O'Clock last night. at the Smith
street crossing.
Feigin was seated in his own gro
Gerry wagon at the time, and the
wagon was completely demolished
and the horse was killed. outright.
Groceries and vegetables were strewn
for distance OF one hundred feet or
more at the scene of the fatality.
The gateman who was on duty at
the crossing last night tells the fol-
lowing story:
"It was about 620 O'Clock when
Feigin, with his wagonload of gro
ceries stopped on the east side of the
crossing to let a locomotive with
out any train attached go by. The
gates had been let down for this loco
motive to pass and were Immediately
raised after it went by. | neither
heard nor saw the approaching ex-
press.
"Feigin then whipped up his horse
and proceeded to cross the tracks.
Just as his horse stepped between
the rails of the westerly track the
Long Branch Central passenger ex-
press, without any headlight on the
engine, and eleven minutes late, bore
down upon the wagon.
1T hurled Feigin about seventy
five feet.i' sr- ,,
Struck With Terrific Force.
Feigin's head was crushed and the
horses body was hurled against the
southeast gate post, landing finally
some distance away, part of it land
ing about one hundred feet down,
at the side of the track The horse
was horribly lnangled. The wagon
was a complete wreck, and groceries
and vegetables were strewn for con-
siderable distance south of Smith
street along the tracks. Feigin's re.
mains lay at the scene of the tragedy
until the arrival of Coroner H. o.
Bishop, who gave a permit for the re-
noval of the body by Undertaken
Ferd Garretson to Feigin's home.
Feigin, who lived at II Hall ave-
nue., is survived by widow, two
daughters and a son.
Widow Overcome by Grief.
Mrs. Feigin is grief-stricken, and
1t is feared that she will have to be
placed under doctors care. Mr..
Feigin's two daughters are married,
one, Mrs. Hyman Rippen, living at
26 Market street and the other daugh-
ter and son live in Boston, Mass.
Mr.. Feigin was fifty-two years old
and had been in business here about
thirteen years, being on State street
for some years
The train which killed Mr.. Feigin
was Central express bound for Long
Branch and does not stop here. The
train Is due here at 6.10 o'clock, but
last night it did not arrive here until
Cpl. The number of the train was
323 and the engine was numbered
624. The engineer was H. Ayres,
and T. ]. Duane was the conductor
of the train.
To Hold Inquest Tomorrow.
The gateman's statement that the
engine bore no headlight is corrobo-
rated by bystanders, and the gate
man also asserted, after the fatality,
that there is no bell at this crossing,
as at many others, to warn him of the
approach Of trains.
Coroner Bishop will hold an in
quest tomorrow afternoon at
O'Clock at city hall.
The funeral of Mr.. Feigin will take
place at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn

POLL TAX IS VALID.
Supreme Court ValidateS the Road
Poll Tax Law.

OLYMPIA, Nov. 1.-The validity Of the
road poll tax act OF 1908 as amended by
the act OF the last legislature, has been
affirmed by the unanimous decision OF
the state supreme court. The decision
was in the case OF the county OF Thurston
against the Tenino Stone Quarries' com.
pans, in which the county sued to collect
road pol! taxes from the employees OF the
company. Judge Linn, in the Thurston
county superior court, dismissed the ac-
ton, holding that, under the decision OF
the supreme court in the case OF g. ID.
lde against the city of Port Townsend
the poll tax law is unconstitutional be-
cause it eXempts certain citizens.
The supreme court, in it's decision
points out the distinction between the
state law and a city ordinance, which
latter was involved in the lde case. In
that case the city was limited by its
legislative charter to making unifor m
ordinances and the poll tax ordinance
Ide attacked was void because firemen
were exempt. The state law, however,
is limited solely by the constitution and
there is no specific provision against poll
tax limitations, as in this case. to males
between 81 and 80 years OF age. Not
only is this limitation approved by the
court, but 80 also is the provision Of the
state law requiring that the counties may
collect rom employers OF labor the roat
poll tax for all employees, except sucl
employees as come within the exempted

For two hours yesterday the City
Hall resembled one of the large depart
ment stores on bargain day. Women
and young girss pushed each other in
their eagerness to get into the Mayors
office The Mayor had advertised the
fact that he would give away six hum
dred pocket books, and that each pocket
book would contain a brand new penny.
Here was chance to get something for
nothing, and that was what attracted so
many women to the City Hall. FIRST
come. first served, was the Mayors mot
to, and the first 600 women who formed
in line and when they got the chance
told the Mayor what a nice Christian
gentleman he was and how pleased they
were to know that he went to confession
more often than the average citizen. car
ried off the pocket books.

Crowded With Adlerents

PROMINENT MEN IN TRRoNa
PLENTY OF GOOD CHEER AND A
HEARTY WELCOME FOR THE
VISITORS AMONGST WHOM
WERE MANY REPUBLICANS.

So far as good cheer was concerned.
the Fagan-R Record Democratic -Repubii-
can machine didn't have it all its own
way yesterday. Diagonally across Mer7
Ger street from the big white municipal
building were gathered the tried and true
and the unterrifed of Jersey City's DEM
ocracy. Every prominent Democrat in
the county called to express his loyalty
TO Mr.. Davis. Many prominent Repub-
hcans also called. There was no lack OF
good cheer The Davis Association
doesn't do things half way. For i've
hours the clubroom was packed, and ey7
cry one who called gave the Democratic
leader one Of those handshakes which
expressed sentiment, II am with you. !"
Mr.. Davis didn't seem to be worried
over recent political reversas. He has
been up against them before. But like
all Democrats he still believes that Dem
ocracy has not yet been worn out By Mr.,
Pagan.
Two Of the most prominent figures II

Mayor Fagan, and Egbert Seymour, who

promptly on hand and though defeated
each had splendid old-fashioned Dem
ocratic handshake for every one who
grasped his hand.
The clubroom bore its usual aspect on
holiday occasions. Almost every man,
as leader, from Gutenberg to Bay
onne, was present and expressed loyalty
to the present Democratic leader. To
give the names of these who attended
the reception would be like copying the
rostrum by companies of an army. There
wasn't general officer or member of
the rank and file (of account that was
missing. Mr.. Davis had real warm
handshake for each, and in reciprocation
he got the same. He didn't seem 70 be
in the leastwise annoyed over the politi-
cal reverses of the Democratic party,
but indeed seemed imbued with spirit
of victory ahead

BINGHAM AT WORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 2. 1906.-Police
Commissioner Bingham will announce
two and perhaps three of his deputies
to-day The resignation of First Deputy
Commissioner McAvoy has been turned
in and accepted, and the resignation of
Thomas Farrell. second deputy, in
charge of Brooklyn, has been asked fer.
It will be received to-day.
AS to the successors Of the two men,
Itaac D. White. prominent newspaper
man, is said to have been rendered a
deputyship.
Commissioner Bingham last night did
two things that established him in favor
with the force. He abolished the shoo-
fly system of roundsmen and put the vice
squad, that pet creation of McAdoo out
of existence.
These two reforms are supposed 70
have been made on information laid be-
fore him by Mr. Slattery, his secretary,
In addition to this 800 transfers made
by Commissioner McAdoo on Saturday
last were revoked.
The new Commissioner, it is said, took
the ground that if the transfers were
for the good of the force they might
have been made before, and as they
were to operate under his adaninistra-
tion he would be the best judge of what
was for the good of the force.
