the ground that it would be ruinous to
the business to carry passengers in
Alabama at IA cents a mile. The
ease will be fought up through the
courts, with the greatest determination
on both sides. On the side OF the rail
roads its winning would mean much
more than the Alabama rate. 1t would
be a deterrent to other states. On the
other hand, legal victory ior the state
would prognosticate success in efforts
20 regulate the rates by Legislative en-
actment elsewhere.
State legislatures are likely to act
hastily in rate legislation, and we are
not prepared to say some OF them have
not )done SO. But we are glad to feel
t''"3 the Americas -r~~ri- arc awaken
ing Ito the knowledge that public car
rierf and other public service interests
are by right their servants, and that
thes e fortified interests are to be regu-
lated by the people
We hope the people will not forget

public service concerns, it will be for
their good, however they may squeal
about the alarming prospect OF dcpress-
ed business interests"

Rev. James H. Northrup preached
an excellent sermon last night on

was: well done, good and faithful

liable to overlook the good and criti-
else the bad. He said that Sunday
baseball, Sunday newspapers, and the
like, in spite of the bad in them, are
not without some good. He also
said that if local people would stop
crfticising the excise board and in
vestigate its proceedings, they would
find that we have an excellent board.
He praised the excise commissioners
for their actions at the last meeting.
At the morning service five new
members were received, Miss Mary A.
Gridley and Rufus Allen were receiv-
ed on confession of faith, Mrs. Frank

I WO MEN
STRUGCLE
IN WATER
One Man Walked Overheard
and Second Went to
His Rescue.
STRUCK HIS HEAD IN FALL.

Two peculiar accidents, one of
which nearly resulted in the death of
a sailor, occurred at the Perth Am
boy dry dock about 10 o'clock last
night.
Captain Hansen, of the schooner
HI. IT, Hedges, was entertaining a
friend from BROOKLYN. About 10
o'clock the guest, George FRANKIE,
started to go ashore. In stepping
from the floating dock to the gang
way of the pier, his foot slipped and
he fell into the water.
Franke's cries drew the attention
of Captain and Mrs. Hansen. The lat
ter aroused John Jensen, a sailor,
who hurried to Franke's assistance.
The sailor, having just been awaken
ed from sound sleep, was somewhat
confused and fell through an opening
in the Dock In falling his head
struck against the edge of the dock,
infiicting deep wound behind his
ear. The blow on his head stunned
him so that he was unable to swim.
When pulled from the water the sail
or's head was bleeding badly and he
was so full Of water that his friends
had to work over him some time be-
fore restoring him ito consciousness.
DR.. G. w. Tyrrell dressed his wound.
Meanwhile Captain Hansen had
gone to the assistance of the visitor
and pulled him out of the water. He
was uniniured by his fall.
G. D. Snedecker, secretary and
treasurer of the Perth Amboy dry
docks, said this morning that both
of the men were sober and that the
accident occurred because the men
were unfamiliar with the dangerous
places.
