WITHDRAW OPPOSITION
TO TROLLEY TRESTLE
icOntlnued froIh pags l.l

Continued from page ~
section at that time, wanted another
span on the north side Of the draw.
It is claimed that such span can be
built for about $4,000, and there is
likely to be a movement on foot to
have such a span put In, as the
county bridge now greatly interferes
with the ice on this side OF the river.
The outcome OF the discussion
was that the trolley company, In
stead of continuing their trestle all
the way out of the spans from both
shores, will end their trestle 200 feet
from the spans on each side and use
the county bridge in between Thus,
If the county does put In more spans
the trolley trestle will not be a fur
ther hindrance to the free movement
Of the ice. The trolley company al
80 agreed that when the county
should put in more spans, 1t would
maintain its own temporary struc-
tnre and would not held the county
liable for any damage as result Of
delay to traffic
This understanding seems to have
been acceptable to all parties and 1t
looks as II there would be no delay
in the construction OF the trolley
across the river.
In the meantime the Perth Amboy
Board Of Trade has made prepara-
tions to see the manufacturers indi-
yidually and explain this city's side
of the controversy. 1t was also be-
Ing planned to send one Of the lar
gest delegations that has ever gone
out from this city to attend the hear
ing in New York next week 1t is
probable that In the light of recent
events. however, the Board of Trade
will await further Developments.
The matter will not be dropped by
any means and nothing will be left
undone to look after the interests Of
Perth Amboy.

Charles Anderson, Lehigh Valley
railroad engineer, a. resident Of.
Maple street, Jersey City, who was
born and brought up In this city,
where he learned the railroad busi-
ness, was killed last night in an acct
dent in which freight cars were hurl-
ed thirty feet against an embank-
ment between Frelinghuysen and
Meeker avenues, Newark. He was
found with his hand on the throttle,
buried deep under the wreolkage.
About him was piled the wreckage
of sixteen cars which had been liter
ally smashed to splinters in one Of
the most remarkable and worst
freight smashups in the recent his
tory of New Jersey railroading.
A deralled car Is said to have been
responsible for the occurrence, which
happened at 1880 o'clock. Anderson
was in the cab and with him were
William Rhodey, fireman, and Will
liam T. Gomery, head brakeman,
both of Jersey City.
Gomery was hurled twenty feet
through the cab window ahead Of the
wreck. Rhodey was thrown to the
tracks in the yard thirty feet below,
but both escaped serious injury
The train driven by Anderson had
left Jersey City a half-hour before
the disaster and was making about
twenty miles an hour when Newark
was reached Shortly after Freling-
huysen avenue had been passed an
eastbound train hove into view and
