NARROW ESCAPE
AT CROSSING
Severe Cold Interfered With
Gates at the Central
Railroad.
NEARLY STRUCK BY TRAIN

Owing to the intense cold Yesterday,
the gates at the New Brunswick ave.
nue. crossing of the Central Railroad
became unmanageable, and as result
train narrowly missed colliding with
one of the Kreuger Brewing Company IS
wagons.
The gates were suspended in mid air
and efforts to lower them proved futile
The gate tender was compelled to re-
main at the crossing and wave a flag
as train approached.
AS the north bound central train
which leaves this city at 2.19 neared
the New Brunswick avenue crossing
the gatemar was seen to be waving q
white flag, and the engineer, thinking
the road clear, increased the speed of
the train. At the same time the brew
ing eompany's wagon, travelling along
New Brunswick avenue, approached
the tracks. The driver, seeing the
white flag in motion, took it as a sig
nal that everything was safe.
When within about 25 feet of the
crossing the engineer noticed the wa
gon and he applied the emergency
brakes, and with grinding sound, the
train came to a stop. The driver of
the wagon by this time had noticed the
train, and as it was too late to stop,
he drove his horses across the tracks
Wagon and engine missed each other
by less than FIVE feet. After making
a hasty examination of his vehicle, the
driver continued on his way.

Crowd of About 1900
People Nearly ThroWn
into Panic.
SOME JUMPED OUT
OF The WINDOWS
Saw Blaze And Smoke Is
suing From Register--A
Frankfurter the Cause.

Over 1900 people were given a
fire scare and several became panic
stricken last night when blaze was
seen issuing from the floor of Niko-
dem's hall, Pulaski Park, State
street. during the dance of the United
Societies of st. Stephens polish Cath
olic church.
Several women, thinking the hall
was in danger, made an attempt to
get out through the windows. A
number succeeded, but the majority
were restrained by those who had
presence of mind. In some man
ner the main exit became blocked,
making all agress through that
channel impossible. The more ex-
cited shrieked, few cried, and con-
fusion reigned for period of about
five minutes
The fire amounted to practically
nothing. 1t was caused by a frank
furter' falling into register in the
middle of the dance floor. Someone
had carried the sausage out on the
floor and accidentally dropped it into
the heated register. The grease be-
came ignited and set fire to a few
scraps of paper lying in the register.
Immediately blaze shot up. The
smoke and fire alarmed everyone in,
the place and confusion reigned The
orchestra stopped playing. Several
people yelled Fire" and a rush was
made for the door Ittcould not be
opened, however, and the more ex-
cited became panic-stricken Climb
ing up on the chairs, number of
women attempted to make an exit
through the windows By this time
the blaze was no longer to be seen,
but smoke continued to issue from
the register. The 1900 people be-
came somewhat quieted John Niko-
dem, proprietor of the hall, took q
lantern and went into the cellar to
close the register. When he re-
returned everything was again tran
quill
So wrought up over the affair were
the dancers that about 500 departed
as soap- as the door could be opened
Nothing was damaged by the
blaze.

in his message that an income tax is
the most just and equitable that can
be levied.

in proportion to his ability to bear
It and upon the basis of the wealth
which under the laws of the country
he has been able to accumulate.

swer to the arguments against the
proposed income tax amendment
contained in the message sent to the
New York legislature by Governor
Hughes on January 8.
