along IL crashed into it.
The train was crowded with people going
10 their homes to spend the holidays, m
had thu train been going at high speed the
number Of dead would have been far greater.

formed his friends that his opinion on all
such matters will be announced by himself

WOULD DRAIN CARNEGIE LAKE.
Are Princeton Boys TO Be Deprived Of
Anticipated winter sports?

TRENTON, N. j.. Dec. 23.-Supt. Dunn OF
the Delaware and Raritan Canal has re-
quested that the waters Of Carnegie Lake
at Princeton be drawn OF during the winter
months. The canal embankment forms a
part Of the bank for the lake and it is GUS
tomary to let the water out of the canal in
winter for the making of necessary repairs.
Engineers nave decided, il ia declared,
that without water in the canal the pressure
on the canal bank from the lake will be too
great for safety, and hat even il the EN-
bankment does not actually give way the
bed OF the canal would probably be ruined
by seepage.
Carnegie Lake is used in winter by the
Princeton hockey team and for winter
sports generally. The proposition to draw
on the water will probably be- met with
opposition.
