an open switch and crashed into a
number of empty fiat and freight cars
lying on the siding about 100 yards
from the passenger station at that
place.
1t is said hat the accident was
caused by the track walker, an Ital-
ian, whose name could not be ascer-
tanned, who had just opened the
switch to try it. to see If everything
was all right and did not notice the
train in the depot. Before he could
close it again the train was in on the
siding.
The train was in charge of Con-
ductor McAndrews and Engineer
O'Hare. The engine, which is one of
the new ones, No. 25, was damaged
considerably, having the front of it
torn out and the pilot and head light
smashed. Two of the freight cars
were thrown off the track and the
passengers received a good shaking
up.
Engine No. 4 was sent out from
here to bring the train in to this de-
pot. The wrecked engine was taken
to the shops at Clifton for repairs.
Fireman Wagner, of the passenger
train, had his ankle sprained in jump
ing from the engine. He was able to
go to his home. Fortunately lone of
the passengers were injured, but a
number were thrown from their seats
by the sudden shock.

nant at Action of Railroad.
The people of this place are up in
arms against the Staten Island Rapid
Transit railroad because they lave
placed one of their old dilapitated
passenger cars lei the passenger de-
pot in Amboy avenue to be used as a
freight house.
The people here have been very
much annoyed as they had no freight
house since the one was smashed
about seven or eight months ago
when a train crashed into it. Since
that time the freight has been left in
cars on the siding.
This car, which is now used as the
freight depot, is No. II, of the old
Staten Island railway, and is n of
the first cars used on this line be-
tween Tottenville and Clifton, when
the road was first opened across the
island.
A prominent real estate dealer said
yesterday with a station far from
adequate and an old car, fixed up for
a freight house would greatly tend to
d~epreciate the value of property near
that place and would also change the
opinion of a prospective buyer. Since
this old car has been placed here the
boys are having lots Of sport. A
number of signs have been placed on
it such as Lunch Wagon" with bill
of fare, Come seven, come eleven,
and a number of other, signs, 1t is
said Saturday nighttft the car was
placid with signs from one end to an
other. sd sHl NJ gfitl

| Came from England and Worked as a
Ship Carpenter.
William A. Dillingham;, M. D.,
whose death was reported in yester-
days NEWS, was born in Coventry,
England, and anne to the United
States in 1912. For a time after his
arrival in this country he followed his
trade, that of a ship carpenter. Later
he studied medicine at the John Hop
kins University in Maryland; gradu-
ting in 1877. After graduating he
returned to England, settling at Old
baum. where he commenced the prac-
tice of his profession, continuing Ne
same for the space of seven years. lie
then returned to the United States,
settling at Fall River, Mass, and re-
moving from there to New Haven
Conn, and if we remember rightly
about twelve years ago he came TO
South Amboy, where he resided until
his death. We were intimately ac-
ouainted with DR.. Dillingham;, work
ing with him a number of years. AS
a physician he had merits that the
people of the community in which he
was located never appreciated.
We knew him to effect cures OF OBJ
stinate cases where other physicians
had failed in their treatment. AS a
man he had a popularity that a great
many men fail to have. that OF strict-
ly minding his own business, and was
ever ready to give counsel to those re-
questing advice of him, and during
our long association with him we can
only remember him with the kindest
of feeling, hoping as he entered into
his rest he heard that welcome voice
saying, "Wel done, good and faithful
servant, enter into the joy OF thy
Lord"
Dr.. Dillingham; was eighty-four
years of age and up to about foar
years ago was quite active, working
with your correspondent in the P. R.

Trolley Company Took n Party OF
Officials Over Its Road.
Upon the invitation of Mr.. Brown.
representative of the Central Trac-
tion Company, a party of gentlemen
took IN excursion as far as Red Bank
yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of gaining some information respect
ing trolley roads, and TO take into
consideration from observation in
other towns, which would be the bet
ter rail to be used in our borough in
the event of, a franchise being grant
cd / lay a road down Bordentown
avenue, thence through Stevens ave-
nue. to the bridge over the river. They
were Councilmen Dewan, Disbrow,
Dey. A. NJ. Gordon and J. Gordon,
Borough Counsel Pearse, Clerk Full
tom. Street Commissioner Collins and
the Citizen and NEWS reporters.
They had a pleasant time and Mr..
Brown treated all courteously in CIV
ing each gentleman of the party that
wished to know anything about the
matter under consideration, all the
information possible.
In the first place it is believed the
people of South Amboy want an cleo
trio road to the bridge and over the
bridge into Perth Amboy. AS we now
have a bridge across the river and If
we want this to be a benefit to South
Amboy we should have trolley COM
munications with Perth Amboy, Key
port and Red Bank. All of these
places have adopted the "T' rail and
their streets are in a far better con-
dition that those in our borough with
the girder rail. Whether the reason
of this is the difference in the kind Of
rail we are unable to say, but Mr..
Brown said it was due to this cause
and the explanation he gave was very
plausible. He also said there was
scarcely any difference in the costs OF
the two kinds of rails. The girder
rail being the cheaper, but the costs
of keeping the road-bed in proper
condition was far more expensive
with the girder than with the IT"
rail.
Be that as it may, we want an cleo
trio road to Perth Amboy, and we
wan it very much. We trust that
our mayor and council will not place
any impedients in the way of the
building of the road except so far as
to care for the interests and good OF
the citizens of the borough of South
Amboy. AT some future time we may
:. have more to say on this matter.

Post-Pleasing Event.
rhe members of William S. Truck
wit No. 118, G.. A. R., met in their
nnst room last night at 7 o'clock to
~ eive their visiting comrades, a del
of comrades from Boggs
Post, New Brunswick, from
Col. Dandy Post, Perth Amboy, the
post at South River and Shackelton
Post, Keyport. There were about
fifty visiting comrades besides a num-
N Der OF Sons of Veterans, the comrades
wives of Post lis, the clergy, mayor
! and council of the borough. After
the transaction of the necessary bust
ness, speechmaking was the order of
the day. The following speakers ad-
dressed the members of the post and
the visiting comrades: Department
Commander Atwood, followed by
Rev. Father Brady, who claimed that
he felt it one of the greatest of hon
ors to be favored with IN invitation
to join with those who periled their
lives for the glorious old flag and the
country of his adoption, and he spoke
In terms of the highest praise of the
martyred Lincoln, stating that while
in the lane across the sea and less
than nineteen years of age, yet from
i1IN Ills huOWlGuSG VI Hill lHTOuSu Ttdu-
ing of him, he would ever treasure as
sacred the memory of the martyred
president and that he thanked God
that he ever espoused the Fenian
cause in his native land as it was the
means of driving him from his native
nd to the land of his adoption, a
d where every one could be a man.
e was followed by the Rev. Mr..
iris, of Matawan, a veteran of the
Evil War, who recounted some of the
"reminiscences of the war. He was
followed by Dr.. John Younglove, Of
Jefferson avenue, Elizabeth, who read
a copy of a letter sent his father after
the battle of Fredericksburg, in which
was portrayed the scenes that came
under his supervision as a surgeon
in the army, after which the post and
invited guests adjourned to the base
elent of the Presbyterian church,
where a fine collation. was spread by
the Ladies Aid Society. In partaking
ofNthe same the guests did ample JUS
tice. AS a comrade of the post, we
will say that we cannot give too much
praise to the ladies for the fine COLA
ton spread for us, and they seemed
to vie with each other in the courte-
sey extended to the boys in blue and
the only drawback on this festive oc-
casion was the remembrance that one
of our comrades that had so often
met with us on similar occasions had
answered to the last roll call and his
body was lying in state waiting to be
consigned to its last resting place on
the morrow. The thought would
come to us amid the festivities of the
occasion, who will be the next.
