MUCH LOSS OF LIFE.
Startling Figures Of Dangers OF
Travel in New York City.
From August to September the
Accidents Averaged One in One
Hour an Twenty-nine Minutes.

Every fifteen hours life is lost IN
New York city under the wheels OF a
passenger car, surface, elevated or
steam. This fact has been brought
out by Secretary Travis II. Whitney,
of the public service commission III
a table giving a record he had kept
of transportation accidents from
August to September l.
In these 26 days, 145 persons were
hurt in car collisions, and 465 in COLI
lisions between cars and vehicles.
Once in each hour and twentF-nine
minutes of the period some person
was struck by a car, making total
of 405. Sixty-four persons were in
jured in boarding cars and 1853
were injured in alighting from them,
which goes to show that at least that
number of New Workers have not yet
learned to face forward when getting
off street cars.
Employees to the number Of 64l
were hurt; 3S persons were hurt IN
derailments; 26 prospective passen-
gers fell down stairs and 1881 per-

RESCUED ATT ALTAR.
Young Lady Forced at Pistol
Point to Promise Marriage.
She Appeals to the Minister, Who
SciZes the Would-Bc Bridegroom
and Lady EScaDeS

Miss Belle Grouse, pretty daugh-
ter of Rev. n. l. Grouse, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Stan
hope, n. j., was literally forced to
the parsonage of the First Methodist
church, in Asbury Park, Wednesday
afternoon by her frantic lover, Percy
C. Bissell, who at the point of re-
volver demanded that she marry
him.
When the couple came before Rev.
C. NJ. Griffin. pastor of the church,
and he began to ask the usual qles-
tions, Miss Grouse broke down and
begged the minister to save her f.om
Bissell, who, she said, had a revolver
in his pocket and had threatened to
shoot her unless the ceremony was
performed.
DR.. Griffin, greatly agitated, made
a sudden attack upon Bissell. He
threw his arms around the ardent
lover and held him fast, while Miss
Grouse made good her escape from
the parsonage.
She had no sooner reached the
boarding house in Ocean Grove:
where she was stopping. with her
parents, when Bissell reappeared and
broke through a window in the House
He demanded to see Miss Grouse. but
was told she was out. Later the
young man was overhauled by Do-
liceman and taken to one of the out
going trains 1t is presumed he re-
turned to his home, in Stanhope
The Crouses, it appears, had been
told that Bissell, who is member
of the Stanhope Presbyterian church,
had a fondness for cards, and on this
account their daughter severed
growing intimacy with the young
man. He is a student in the State
normal school at Trenton.
She wrote him letter IN which
she refused to have anything more
to do with him, and they went
down to Ocean Grove to escape the
hubbub. All Stanhope had heard o.
the affair. When Bissell got the let
ter he followed the Crouses aztec
having ascertained in Stanhope that
they had gone to Ocean Grove.
Late Tuesday afternoon the young
man met Miss Grouse in the street
and excitedly demanded that she
marry him Immediately. Miss Grouse
refused point blank to accede to MS
request and tried to reason with him.
Bissell took from his pocket an ugly
looking revolver and showed her the
cartridges. Miss Grouse alarmed
finally concented to go to Rev. MI.
Griffin and be married. Bissell call
ed cab and was driven with the
Young woman to the parsonage.
Miss Grouse would not admit later
that she is engaged to Bissell but
said she heard some time ago that
he played cards. He told her, now
ever, that he had given it all up and
she forgave him. 1t is understood
that Bissell.s parents will send the
Young man south. Miss Grouse is
graduate of Blair Hall.
