FIVE CHILDREN.
Engineer Saw the Danger and
Stopped His Train in Time to
Save the Mother from
Instant Death.

A woman, whose name could not
be learned, had a narrow escape
from instant death at the Fayette
street crossing of the Central rail-
road yesterday afternoon when she
stood in the middle of the south
bound track just as the Lakewood
flyer came along. That she was not
ground to pieces is due to the good
work of the engineer, who noticed
her plight and stopped the train With
in few feet of her.
Five Small Children.
The Fayette street crossing of the
Central is not planked and no gates
are there to warn people of the dam
ger of train. The woman, accom-
panied by five small children, start
ed to cross the track shortly after
1880 o'clock. The children were SO
small that they were carried over
one at "a time by the woman. She
had succeeded in getting three OF the
youngsters over when one of them,
the largest of the trio, attempted to
run back again. The woman man
aged to catch the child, and again
take it to the other side. She then
crossed over and was in the middle
of the track when she noticed the
approach of the train, but was too
frightened to move.
Express Approaching.
The express was coming along at
a terrific speed, but the engine df'ys
er had noticed the woman and threw
on all brakes. The fire flew from be-
meath the big driving wheels, and the
passengers in the coaches were
thrown over one another The engine
was brought to a standstill within
few feet of the woman, who then
managed to get her wits together
and jump off the track.
Among those who witnessed the
accident were Michael Fingerote, OF
Paterson street, and Edward Gross,
of Tottenville, s. l.. barber In the
employ of Peter Peterson, sof New
Brunswick avenue. Neither one OF
these gentlemen could tell the name
of the woman, as she got away too
soon.

Body Found Along

NEW YORK MAN
Cards in His Pocket Aid in Identi-
fiCatiOn New York Police Have
Been Notified Body at
Burke's MOrgue.

The body of a man believed to be
Stephen Lang, of 1865 Avenue A,
New York, evidently suicide, was
found shot through the heart, along
the bank near the switch at the New
Jersey Terra Gotta Lumber Com
pany's disused plant near Maurer,
early this morning. Several cards
found in his pockets indicated his
identity. A revolver and satchel
containing some sandwiches and 9TH
er food lay on the ground near the
body. Two chambers of the revol-
yer were empty but only one bullet
had entered the mans body, the 9TH
er chamber having, probably, been
emptied previously. The man was
about forty-five or fifty years of age
and was well dressed and bore an ex-
cellent and intelligent appearance.
Coroner H. o. Bishop made an in
vestigation following which he COM
municated with police headquarters,
New York. In a pocket was the re-
turn part of an excursion ticket on
the Staten Island railroad dated yes
terday. The man probably came here
yesterday on business, perhaps can
vassing of some sort, and evidently
went to Maurer last night, and end
ed his existence.
The local police were notified of
the finding of the body at 6:30
o'clock this morning by telephone
from Loeser's Hotel, at Maurer. Cor
oner Bishop was notified and Patrol
man McDermott was detailed to make
the police investigation.
The body was removed to T. r.

PROTECTION
AT DRAW OF
NEW BRIDGE:
FreehOIderS Not Satisfied with
Present Set Of Gates Which
Are Too Near the Edge.
PLAN FOR THE OPENING.

Because the Board of Freeholders
do not think that the present gates
near the draw on the new Raritan
river bridge are set back far enough
in case of an accident, they have de-
,ided to put in a double set of gates.
Freeholder John Hanson visited the
bridge yesterday afternoon to look
freeholders.
The gates on this side are so close
to the edge of the bridge that If an
automobile or wagon, going down the
steep curve, should be moving too
fast, it would crash into the gates be-
fore it could be halted and moth
ing could prevent it going overheard.
The present gates will be allowed to
remain as they are and the new gates
will be put up about one hundred feet
this side of them so that in this way
all accidents can be avoided,
When Freeholder Hanson visited
the bridge he found everything in
shape and the bridge can really be
opened at any time for traffic. JUS
tice Fort, 1t is expected, will give
some sort of a decision tomorrow In
regard to the stay issued by him
some time ago, holding up the bridge,
and if it is favorable. the bridge Will
be thrown open to the public at once.
Freeholder Hanson told a NEWS
reporter that the bridge would he
opened without any ceremony. He
said they had planned to have some
thing of that kind Decoration day. as
told in the NEWS, but since the
bridge could not be opened then, they
had decided that the best way would
he to open it without anything of that
sort as soon as the court permitted
When asked who was TO be the en-
gineer in charge of the draw, Free
holder Hanson said that they could
not tell as yet.

FreehoIders Will Devote Their At

Is Out of the Way.

If the present plans of the Board
of Freeholders are carried out, inn

traffic.
The Woodbridge creek bridge, as
told in the NEWS, has been in bad
condition for some time past, refus-
ing to open or close at times, and
playing all sorts of pranks, to the
dismay of the bridgetender and the
trolley company officials.
Experts Report.
An expert engineer, it is under
stood, has examined the bridge for
the freeholders and has announced
something startling in the way of
changes. The freeholders have decid-
ed that they must be made for they
say they want the bridge to be one
of the best in the county.
Among the changes will be the
placing of new stone pier on the
Woodbridge side and if necessary on
this side also, putting in a new turn.
table and strengthening the beams
and side irons. The trolley com
pany, it is understood, has agreed
to put in small motor as soon as
these repairs are made, and the trou-
BILE of turning the bridge by hand
will be over.
Motor TO Turn 1t.
Some time ago the NEWS an
nounced that the trolley people had
a man examine the bridge and give
them an estimate of what 1t would
to have a motor on the bridge and it
is now understood that they have
been in communication with the
board of freholders in regard to this
matter and that satisfactory agree
meht has been reached by both sides.
In speaking about the repairs to a
NEWS reporter, Freeholder John
Hanson said the repairs would most
likely be made as soon as the free
holders had the new Raritan river
bridge in commission. He could not
tell when that would be, but hoped it
would be soon.

reigned following the throwing of the
bomb they continued their drive to-
ward the palace.
Five persons have been arrested, but
the police say the thrower of the bomb
escaped.
The scene In the vicinity of the ex-
plosion was horrible. AS the municipal
guards hastily improvised litters to
bear off the mangled corpses dense
crowds pressed in upon them, causing
indescribable confusion.
The explosion would not have occur
