The c., St p. NJ & o. passenger
came near claiming another victim at
the Junction depot last night AS the
passengers from No. were unloading
and crossing the walk to take convey
ances for the city, the NJ. & o. train
pulled along at a high rate of speed
and had II not been for the presence
of mind of the Waterman and bystand-
ers in tagging the train, there would
undoubtedly have been one woman
killed and probably many more killed
or injured as there were about twenty
five people on the track as the train
was brought to a halt not three feet

AS a result of the condemnation
proceedings instituted by the city
council against board sidewalks on
} Norfolk avenue between Fourth and
| Fifth streets, there will soon be moth
: ing but cement sidewalks along that
block. Every wooden sidewalk in the
block, on both sides of the street, has
now been condemned and the new
: cement walks will soon 'be placed.
; Jack Welsh is entitled to much of the
credit for this move, as he has been
interested in getting a cement walk
: from one end of the block to the other
l and through his efforts the sidewalk in
: front of his own building on Norfolk
? avenue was condemned along with
: others. Il. b. Kaufman was also in
terested in the movement and helped
2 push it. The next step which will be
4 taken along this progressive line II
{ is said, will be one looking to pave
i ment of the street.
