AUTOMOBILE
WAS WRECKED
Went Into a Ditch Near FOrds
and Was TOWed to This
City.

A large Columbia touring car con-
tanning three men ran in d ditch at
the side of the road on the road from
Metuchen to this city last night near
Fords, and was badly damaged, and
the occupants we're thrown out, but
not injured to any extent
The mechanism was disarranged
the glass in some of the lamps was
broken and the metal bent; the mud
guards over the wheels on the right
side were bent and twisted out of
all semblance of shape; the bars on
the hood, which is meant to be drawn
up over the tonneau when desired,
were broken; the horn was put out
of business, and the huge car was
rendered unfit for running.
1t was towed into this city, and
was placed in Liddle & Pfeiffer's liv-
cry stable 1t remained there today
awaiting the necessary repairs.
II bears the number 595S and al
so a sign reading "13 Penna. 1906

being unacquainted with the road,
the men in the machine got into the
ditch before they noticed it.
The repairs to the car were con

young men, including the owner, who
did not give his name or address,

New M0tOrman Was in Charge and
He Ran Into The Derai|ing Switch
Gar Ran On Railroad and Was Hit
NO ONE HURT.
Passengers Had Time to Escape
Before the Train Came Along
Could Not Warn Engineer.

While going from this city to Rah-
way, trolley car No. 957 one of the
new big ones, struck the derailing
switch at Port Reading railroad
crossing last night and because of the
frozen ground the car was thrown
completely off the rails onto the rail-
road. The passengers had just time
to scramble out when a train came
along and before it could be signal
ed to stop had plowed its way
through the trolley car, cutting it in
two and throwing both ends into a
nearby ditch.
The trolley car was in charge of
Motorman Peter Henderson, of Mill
vile, a new employe of the line. and
Conductor Rowan, of this city. 1t left
State street shortly after Z O'Clock.
The crew, it is understood, were lit
tie behind and they were making up
time. The motorman, it is thought,
was not familiar with the road be-
tween here and Railway for when he
came to the Port Reading crossing,
instead of stopping and allowing the
conductor TO go ahead and throw the
switch for the derail, he kept right
on until the forward wheels struck
the derail.
In the distance the crew could see
an approaching train and they had
only time to warn the six passengers
to get out and to jump themselves
when the crash came.

can body that 1t is, does not complain
of Mr.. Booraem' selection by the leg
islative conference. as it considers

the holding of the unlocked for con
ference, at which Mr. Booraem was
decided upon.

reiterated his statements already
made, that he was i'll no conference,

HILL LERY LAW
IN THE " AY.
Aldermen Heard Request Of Citi-
zens from Kinsey Corner for
Fire Company Last Night.

The Board of Aldermen held a
long committee session last night.
A delegation of the residents in the
vicinity of Kinsey Corner who want
to form new fire company to be
known as Raritan Hose company,
appeared before the council and sub
mitted their request. They would be
contented for the present with the
old Lincoln jumper and some hose,
but house would have to be erected
and the company equipped.
Because of the Hillery law reduc-
ing the tax rate, the council will not
have as much money this year as is
needed to make improvements. 1t
would therefore be impossible for the
council, so members of 1t declared
to the delegation last night and to a
reporter this morning, to build any
fire houses, unless the Elillery law be
repealed at the current session of the
legislature, much as the council
would like to have a new company.
Mcclellan Engine company will
present its petition for pay, accord
ing to law, at the council meeting
Monday night No appearance was
made before the aldermen last night.
Including the money to pay the
firemen in the coming years budget
will be considerable item. The city
fathers will have to economize on all
sides, despite needed improvements.
AS it is, the valuations will have to
be raised, unless the Hillery law be
repealed in order to provide suffi-
cient funds, with the tax rate at
S1.65t to meet running expenses.
