FIRST ACCIDENT
AMONG COASTERS
Miss Helene NoeIke of eo7 Concert

Ankle Badly Wrenched
Under Sob.
BIG SLED OVERTURNED
Iron capp ns of Main in Center OF
High Street Near Sixth Caused
Last Nights
Accident.

The first accident to mar the coast
ing pleasures which have come to the
younger generation Of the city in the
last week. happened last evening on
High street hill when Miss Helene
SNoelke. one of the large party OF
coasters on the hill during the even
ing, had her right limb badly hurt,
when large bob sled on which she
with fourteen or fifteen other young
people were sliding. was overturned,
throwing the party into the street at
the foot of the hill, near Sixth.
The overturning was caused, it is
thought, by the runners OF the bob
sled coming in contact with the iron
cap of man hole which projects from
the center of the roadway at the place
of the accident.
The hill has been worn to an icy
surface by the hundreds OF young
people who have made the steep rise
from Fourth to Seventh street a
slippery rendezvous during the past
several evenings and the sport has
been at its fullest. When large bob
sled reached the bottom of the in
cline, speed of q mile q minute is
probably attained and turn over OF
one of the larger sleds is always a
dangerous occurrence for those ~
joying the pleasures of the slide.

over, almost OFF the bridge, hanging
over the ledge until one of the other
of the sleds' crew grabbed him there
by saving him from drop of thirty
feet and possibly death. The boy who
came to the rescue was Guy Fulton,
assistant boys secretary at the Y. NJ
c. A.. VINO himself had his leg badly
injured in the spill.
The accident happened about eight
o'clock last night and the sled on
which the coasting was being done
was well filed with merry makers
who We're enjoying the rideing over
the slippery track on Reid street On
the eyentful trip everything went we'll
until the far side of the bridge was
reached when boy on a single sled
suddenly passed the bob thereby
throwing it off the track and into the
railing of the structure over which it
was passing.
Touhey was guiding and was
thrown OF headlong, while Fulton
who was riding second had his leg
badly bruised necessitating physi-
clans treatment In spite of this in
jury he was able TO grab Touhey
whose legs were extending over the
ledge from his perilous position. The
latter was quite badly injured. How
ever he can be thankful that he did
not fall to the rocks far below.

Right Limb is injured.

Miss Noelke was carried to the resi-
dence of q nearby physician where it
was found that no bones were brok-
en- but her right knee and also her
right ankle were badly wrenched from
the accident in the capsizing of the
sled. Medical attention was given the
injured portions and though the young
lady was caused much pain during the
night. she is resting as easily as could
be expected this morning.
From the nature of the spill and
pile M when the sled overturned it
is wonder that others of the party
were not injured but fortunately for
the others Miss Noelke was the only
one on the sled who was injured
The accident happened about $50
and put damper on the sport for the
rest of the evening. All OF the steep
err hills OF the city have been turned
to ice by the coasters during the past
few evenings and though the sport is

REGRET DEPARTURE
OF FATHER TROY
HustIins Catholic Priest Has Done
Much for Catholics of Farm
ington During Past Year.

Pennington people greatly regret
the fact that Father J. j. Troy, the
hustling young pastor of St Boniface
church is to leave. In words OF appre-
citation of his activities in that place
during the past year the Pennington
Republican says.
Father Troy has worked q wonder
full transformation in the status OF his
arch here, and to this fact is prob
ably due his removal TO larger field,
and work, yet Pennington regrets to
lose him and his influence for good IN
this community
Father Troy has been here for but
little better than a year, but In that
short time has erected a handsome
church building and a commodious
parsonage, and what is still more
gratifying. free from debt. When he
first came TO Pennington ne found the
church affairs in very bad shape, a
dilapitated place of worship, no swift
able parsonage and congregation.
whose interest had reached yery
low ebb through neglect and slipsaod
methods of ministration. But what a
change now. Father Troy awakened
their interest, reused them from their
lethargy until each and every week one
took hold with a will and helped push
things to the result we have all wit
messed. The earnestness ami enthu-
siasm of Father Troy has made all
this possible and people not members
as well as Catholics regret to see him
leave the church for which he has
done so much, though they are glad

Then, however, the ex-champon be-
gan to prescribe different terms upon
which the race should he run, and this
caused a postponement temporarily, at
least of an agreement.
The time made by the principals in
the race was as follows Tsukamoto, /

All Fook, l hr., 26 1-2 min. Jackson
claimed that his own time was mr.,

Jackson may really have not been in
the best of condition, but overcon-
fidence was probably the cause of his
undoing. Dal Fahey was plainly not
in condition. He frankly admitted
having celebrated too many Glorious
Fourths of late and that training on
that route had done him no good.

Here there was a dispute lasting
about twenty minutes as to whether it
should be corner kick or a throw
in from the outer bounds, the deci-
sion finally being on a corner kick.
Fernandez and Dwight showed fine
combination playing. getting the ball
down field in good style but Kellener
punted it out of bounds. Then Greig
got a free kick Walker, getting the
ball, did fine double down the field,
finally shooting for goal but missing.
At this iuncture Dwight had gotten an
ugly kick, by a member of the oppos-
| ing team, in the face, laying his chin
open. The forwards then rushed the
| ball down the field, and Chiilingworth
shot for goal but was again blocked
| by the indomitable Kelener Greig
made a gallant attempt to save but was
blocked by Lindsay, who then took
