CROSSING ACCIDENT CLAIMS
MAN IN PRIME OF LIFE

The Commute train between Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City added one
more victim to the long list of grade
crossing accidents, on Wednesday even
ing, as the 5.07 flyer reached Franklin
avenue. In the very prime of life Will
lam Prescott was thrown into the air
for more than 20 feet, over a semaphore,
and picked up in an almost unrecogniz
able condition. He had been employed
by teamster Frederick Boice and was
driving wagon-load of heavy timber
A car was standing on the opposite
track near the crossing, which is parallel
to the Shore Road and this obstructed
Prescott's vision of the south bound
track. There are no gates at the cross
ing, but there is a warning bell, which
rings automatically as trains approach
the station.
When Mr.. Prescott was picked up he
was still breathing, but nearly an hour
elapsed before the battered man was
placed aboard a Suburban car and rush
ed to the Atlantic City hospital, where
he died about four hours later.
Both horses were injured, one of them
so badly that it was put to death soon
after the accident. The wagon was al
most reduced to kindling wood and
pieces of the wagons cargo were tossed
in all directions. On account of the
trains momentum the engineer was un-
able to stop until he had reached a
point nearly a mile from where the ac
cident occurred.
Mr.. Prescott was SO years oldl and
was the father of Mrs. Giles w. Clement
of North Shore Road. Recently he came
from Millville to enter the employ Of
Mr. Boice and was in the best of health
when stricken. Persons with whom he
came into daily contact say that his
hearing was perfect, and that if the
alarm bell at the crossing made sufficient
noise the man could have heard it.

A GRAIN OF COMFORT

1t has been long time since the sun
shone on the just and the rocky shores
of Shore Road canal, but then we may
as well be cheerful about the large sur
plus Of rain, the condition of the said
canal, and make ourselves think that
the worst is yet to come. Dear old
James Whitcomb Riley has left us the
following bit of poetic philosophy. which,
after all other attempts have failed at
cheering ourselves, we may paste in our
hats for future reference:
1t amt no use to grumble and com
plain,
It's Just as cheap and easy to rejoice
When God sorts out the weather and
sends the rain,
Why. rains my choice.

ECONOMY.

Tn the opening hours Of the legIs-
lature economy" has been sounded
as the battle cry for the session, and
vet one of the first suggestions is to
tho eject that the salary of the Ad-
iutant General of the State is to be
raised from 81, 500 to $1,000, and this
will spell economy with a very small
n. As we understand the duties
of the office will by no means absorb
the time or the energies Of the new
incumbent, but that he can practice
law and carry on other avocatons
without let or hindrance. And even
if as soldier he had no time left fol
the discharge of civic duties we still
insist upon it that the original pay
was quite sufficient How far above
