NEARLY HIT CHILD.

The three-year-old child of MI.
and Mrs. Thomas Hawkins, of Wood
avenue, came near being run over by
a large touring car about 4:40 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Hawkins,
who, with her child, had been visit
ing in Perth Amboy, was returning
home on the 4:30 o'clock boat at the
time. The boat had just made her
landing at the local slip and was dis
charging its passengers. The child,
with it's mother close beside, started
to walk off the boat, when the pom
derous machine started. But for the
quickness of Mate George Fisher, of
the Warren, who resides in Central
avenue, in pushing the child aside,
she would have been probably crush
ed to death. The machine, the NUM-
Der of which could not be ascertain
ed, continued on its way, the occu-
pants not even stopping to see If the
child was injured.

No One at Home at the Time-Saw
the Damage.
During the severe thunder storm
which passed over here Saturday
night about $50 o'clock, the house
of Charles Knudsen in Brehart ave-
nue. was also struck by lightning.
The family were in Perth Amboy
at the time and knew nothing about
it until Sunday morning, when Mrs.
Knudsen went to close the blinds on
the southern side of the house. She
noticed several shingles lying out on
the lawn, and on going into the yard
she looked up on the roof and saw
that the shingles had been torn on
from the chimney to the edge of the
roof.
Later she went into the attic and
found upon investigation that it had
also torn the rafters and put two
large holes in the roof.
The bolt then passed through the
floor and put a hole about the size OF
a lead pencil through two. of the
ceilings of the two upper rooms. No
further damage was done.

LoCAL PEOPLE IN WRECK.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Ellis, of Eli
Oft avenue, were among the passen-
gers on the Brighton Beach train of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, that was
run into by a Manhattan Beach train
of the same line, when fully a score
of persons were injured and many
lives were endangered in the rear
end collision early Sunday morning.
Mr.. Ellis and his wife, who were with
his cousin, Mr.. and Mrs. George CRU
ger, of Brooklyn, were riding in the
first car and as the two trains came
together everybody was thrown from
their seats, except Mrs. Ellis, who
managed to keep her seat. When the
train, came to a standstill Mr.. Ellis
got up Out of his seat to look out of
the side of the car to see what was
the cause of the delay. At that time
the 1agman was standing at the side
of the first car when the other train
was upon them. He received several
bruises by being thrown against one
of the seats. The accident was declar-
ed to be due to gross carelessness on
the part of employees of the railroad
company. The motormen of both
ftrains, six guards and a flagman were
arrested and charged with criminal
neglect. The motormdn and flag
man were later bailed in $1,000 each
by a representative of the company,
and the guards were paroled.
