Disaster on Summit-Jersey
City Local.

The quick hand of o. y. Peters. n
Lackawannn railroad engineer, on the
throttle of bis engine probably pre-
vented disaster today when his
train. aIIed with commuters from sta
tions along the summit branch, was
near TO piunxips from the bridge into
tho Hackenssck river.
His quick eye detected a severe split
in one of the rails on the bridge. At
that moment his train was making a
high rate. of speed, but Peters reversed
the locomotive and opened the ssndbox,
thus bringing The heavy Sss1in to rec
ord stop. Two feet beyond the front
wheels of the engine was the split IN
the rail.
''My train may have gone over 1t
safely" said Peters, but l am in
ciined to doubt it. Certainly the next
trai1l one from the Oranges, would
l..'>' been derailed and would have
Leei. plunged, without a doubt, into the
Hackensack river. which, at this point,
has natural channel of sixteen feet"
Three minutes before the Summit
train reached the bridge an Orange
train filled with commuters passed
over the split rail, but did 1T safely.

car and the ticket collector felt the
humping of the wheels over the break.
A little further on the conductor of
this train decided there was something
serious the matter with the track and
he stopped his train, sending the ticket
collector back to investigate. The col
lector reached the bridge just as the
Summit train, which had left Summit
al 1850 a. m. and was due in New York
at S;55, came to stop under the steady
hand of Engineer Peters.
A serious delay followed. Five trains
of passengers, mostly commuters, piled
up after the Summit train and hun
dreds of passengers alighted and went
forward to see what was the matter.
The rail had been split longitudinally
in the centre and each train passing
over it had further split 1t. So, when
the Summit train reached the place, 1t
was apparent that another train would
have broken the rail and thus plunged
the engine and cars into the river.
1t required thirty-five minutes to put
another rail in place, and for Wat
length of time several thousand COM
nluters were held up out on the
meadows.

list every self-supporting woman in the

over. They will try to decide whether
DIR. Elliott or DIR. Mckenzie should take
charge pending a final decision of the
courts.
Just what steps Will be taken in the
case will not be known until after the
two lawyers consult. but it is said that
speedy and amicable solution of the
trouble will be arrived at without de-
lay and the case referred to the courts
for adjustment.
The same state OF aII3lfS exists IN
regard to County Collector DR.. P. j.
McGuinness and Richard w. Booth.
who was appointed to that office yester-
day. Mr. Booth formally notified DR..
McGuinness today that he had been
placed in the Office and qualified as to
! oath and bcndsmen. DR.. McGuinness
said he was pleased to hear it, but he
had been advised by his lawyers not to
give up the books until they told him
to, as the matter was to be taken into
the courts.
In order not to retard the business
of the Office it was arranged that DIR.
McGuinness should continue to act un-
til the lawyers Of the men meet and
arrive at some understanding tomor-
row.
Frank IL. Sommer and Herbert Boggs
are DR.. McGuinness's lawyers. MIR.
Sommer Is in Trenton today attending
the meeting OF the State Railroad Com
mission and Mr. Boggs is attending TO
some legal matters in Jersey City.
The outcome of those two cases will
serve as an adjustment of all the rest
of the offices that are now matter of
dispute because Of the civil service law.

ABUSE PURE.

BuITY ON GOVERNMENT WILL
BE DENIED REGISTRATION.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-According
to a sweeping decision by the COM
missioner of patents, any label bear
ing the inscriptions Guaranteed un-
der the pure food and drug act,
June 80, 1906" where such inscrip-
ton Is intended to imply that the
government is responsible for the
purity Of the goods, will be refused
registration.
1t Is claimed that hundreds OF
packers and others throughout tht
country are so printing labels as to
give this impression, whereas it is
held by the oficials that the govern
ment simply accepts the assertions
Of the manufacturer that the goodz
are pure and then investigates his
business. Upon proof that the pure
food and drugs act is being violated
the goods are confiscated and the
manufacturers punished.
