Elevated Tracks Of the Pennsylvania
-RalIway-Firc Added to the Difficult.
ties Of Rescue.

Camden, n. j., Dec. 2S.-Three
persons were killed and more than a
dozen others were injured in a rear.
end collision on the elevated tracks
Of the Pennsylvania railway a short
distance fCom the station In this city.
The cars were so badly smashed that
II VIII be several hours before the ex-
act number Of persons caught in the
wreck will be Known. Fire added
TO the difficulties Of the work Of res
cue.
The trains involved were the express
from Atlantic City and the Pember-
ton accommodation train, These
trains were due in the Camden sta
ton at 1921 a. NJ. There was very
thick fog when the accident occurred.
The express train was made up OF
two baggage cars, one parlCr car ard
three coaches and the accommodation
train consisted Of combination car
and four coaches.
Both trains, it is sCld, were run
ming cautiously, as they approached
the station. The engineer OF the
Pemberton train, because OF the fog,
did not see the Atlantic City train, It
Is said until he was close upon 1t.
He damned the brakes down, but II
was too late.
The trains came together with con
siderable force. The tender OF the
Pemberton train telescoped the first
car Of Its train, killing three persons
and injuring at least four. The rear
car Of the Atlantic City express was
wrecked. The wreckage imm ediately
took fire from the locomotive and the
police and FIRE departments OF Cam
den were called into service.
Tho fact that the collision occurred
on the elevated structure, made the
work Of rescue difficult, The res
cucrs could not reach the structure
from the street but had 10 go TO the
wreck from the station at the foot of
Market street.
All available help from tho station
and men In the railroad yards and
shops we're pressed into service and
the injured were quickly taken from
under tho mass OF wrCckage ana con-
veyed to the Cooper hospital and the
West Jersey hospital
The FIRE was extingu!shed before II
reached the victims pinned under tire

A Glimpse at
Delta County.
tRepubIishcd b, requc-t.l

(Bepublishcd b, reaue-t)
Said visitor from Longmont re-
Gently: II have a right to be sur
prised. | thought we had the best
country on earth north of Denver, but
| find we have only a piece of Delta
county's aggregate merits. When we
got to growing sugar beets out land
jumped to fabulous prices. | see you
can raise just as good or Better sugar
beets than we. and that your fruit val
ues are so great as to, in some instan-
ces, give your land ten times the value
of a sugar beet crop in a single sea-
sons profits. 1t is almost too wonder
full to comprehend.
There is much of the real situation
summed up in the above confession.
Delta county has proven to be the
best sugar beet territory yet exploited
lin size of beets grown, in their high
average of sugar and in the tonnoge
per acre produced. Her apples, peach
es. apricots and plums are prize win
ners, as are also her berry crops.
Cantaloupes this year were awarded
first premium at the State Fair over
those of Rocky Ford. Potatoes raised
here are better than those raised at
Greeley. Tomatoes, pumpkins, cab
bage, squashes. cauliflower, grow to
perfection. The grains are a profitable
crop. Alfalfa yields three and four
cuttings. Cattle and horses thrive and
hogs are being raised for market and
packing. Poultry of all kinds does
well. Bees are profitable source of
wealth and the best quality of honey to
be found anywhere is produced here,
car loads of which are bought up and
shipped to eastern and northern states
for consumption. The county has coal
in abundance to last for all time, and is
arranging to guarantee nominal fixed
price to consumers.
The county is progressive. Its citi-
zens represent the highest average
class of intelligence, morality and hon
esty. There are splendid schools and
nearly all the denominational churches.
