A Dangerous CROSSING.

The railroad crossing at Smithville is as
dangerous as any on the line between
Philadelphia and Pemberton, and there is
recorded against it one fatal accident and
several narrow escapes. Three or four
years ago a man named johnson was
ground to pieces bya fast express train.
Last summer two gentlemen in an auto
mobile turned their machine quickly with
in few feet of the track just in time to
let special go whizzing past Last week
another automobile got close to the track
and was compelled to turn abruptly to
save being struck, and on Tuesday Daniel
Evans team, which was approaching the
station, had narrow escape from being
struck.
The crossing is extremely dangerous.
Approaching it on the south side there are
buildings and fences to obstruct the view,
while on the north there is large brick
building and the station. The ticket
agent says there is no regulation requir-
ing him to flag trains.
That there are employees enough
to give proper precautions is certain as
reliable information says there are three
men on duty nearly all day. There are 80
trains which pass the Smfthville station
daily, for passenger service, and of these
ten do not stop. The freight and specials
which go by are in addition to this num-
Der. The necessity for fiagman or safety
gates is apparent to all who have had &C.
casion to cross the railroad at this point.
Under the law of 1908 the township
committee of Eastampton has the power
to petition the Court of Chancery tc
compel the erection of safety gates
or have a fagman on duty all the
time at the crossing. The law of 1907
creating railroad commission, provides
that the commission shall keep informed
of the condition and operation of all rail
roads and hear and examine complaint
touching service, crossings. etc., and SCI
that laws governing railroads are observed
and enforced. From all reports the Smith
vile crossing needs looking after.

CHESTNUT STREET

'Turned Up" cleverly constructed
three act farce comedy in which the late
Willie Edoin, the distinguished English
comedian, scored one of the triumphs OF
his career, will be revived by the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, this week.
IT is doubtful If anything more laugh
able has been written for the stage in re-
cent years than Turned Up" The play
is based upon supposed deaths and re.
marriages, and in the third act, after all
the characters have gone through period
Of excitement, an explanation ensues. The
comedy opens In the apartments OF George
Mekwav. who has invited his prospective
fatber-in law, General Baltic, to meet his
mother. The latter fails to keep the ap-
nointment and when she does turn up she
brings with her an undertaken whom she
Introduces as her second husband. The
undertaker's reception is hot one. The
General. a crusty and particular old per-
son. finally meets Medway's mother and
asks her If she will be a kind mother to
his daughter, the future bride OF her son.
While this scene is on Mrs. Midway 8
supposedly dead husband pops in and
naturally thinks the General is making
love to his wife. Before the elder Med
way is given chance to make trouble he
is put out of the way by his son-in-law tc
he. But they no sooner get the Captain
subdued when the Kaffir woman he is al
legged to have married while on his las
cruise makes her appearance, bringing
with her six-year- old nephew. The con
sternation, confusion and excitement tina
follows can almost be imagined.
Next week, "Sapho.

full and accurate knowledge of the election
laws as they now stand, Deputy Supreme
Court Clerk Charles N. Codding lhas pre-
pared digest thereof as they will affect
the contests for offices at the primaries on
September 20. The work is accurate in
every respect, and every voter who wants
his ballot to count In the primaries should
give 1t careful attention.
He outlines the entire election ma
chinery, including the working OF the new
primary law, as follows:
Tuesday, September Board of Regis
try and Election meet at 10 a. m, and be-
gin house-to- house canvass.
