DRIVES THROUGH RAILROAD
GATES TO ESCAPE TRAIN,

With an Erie train rushing toward
him and scarcely half a block away,
Samuel Gilmour, driver for A. Vert
heimer's butcher store at 201 Grant
avenue, East Newark, found himself
on the tracks at the Elm street cross
ing in Arlington with the gates closed
upon him and advance or retreat pre-
rented. The young mar tried to call
to the gateman, but the rumbling of
the oncoming train drowned his shouts.
The headlight of the locomotive dis
closed to the engineer the horse and
wagon on the tracks caught in a trap,
and Just as he was about to apply the
air-brake to avert an almost certain
accident young Gilmour whipped up
his horse, and, having no recourse,
forcing his rig through the south
gates, smashing down n of the latter
and tearing it from its foundations,
Just as the train whizzed by.
The horse fell with the gate and
sprained its forelegs. The wagon was
scratched, but Gilmour escaped without
injury. The latter blames the gateman
for lowering the gates too soon and
he declares that had the gateman not
been so hasty he need not have been
imperiled.

RICH PROPERTY
OWNERS TO FIGHT
TAX ASSESSMENTS
South Orange Residents to APP
pear in Court Tomorrow
Against Village.

T~wenty-four owners of p~retentious
streets in South Orange will appear
tomorrow in Chancery Court to defend
their action in refusing to pay between
$50, 900 and $40, 900 In assessments levied
against them some time G for I'M
provements consisting of grading and
paving the streets near their homes.
They claim the law is unconstitutional
and that the cost of Improvement
should be borne by the town at large.
Howe and Davis will represent the
village in the case, which will come up
before Vlce-Chancellor Emery, and At
torneys Howard, Souther and Taylor
will appear for the defendants.
Among those who are protesting
against payment of the entire cost OF
Vose avenue Scotland road
and other highways are Robert K.
Howard, William A. Brewer, Mrs. May
Weldon, Charles e. Souther, William
Rode, William N. Stevenson, the
Sneider estate. the Marcus Sayre
Andrew S.. Taylor, Albert Ward,
Mrs. Mary Ward. Mrs. Maud Giobey
and Mrs. Maud NJ. Leach.
While the contesting property-owners
have been planning their defense the
village authorities ave been busy,
when the property-holders had persist
emily refused to pay several times the
various sums they agreed upon, on the
grounds hat they were excessive, the
opinion Of Village Counsel Thomas A.
Davis was asked.
The owners take the stand that those
who live either in West n road,
Vose avenue, Scotland road, Ralston
avenue, Raymond avenue, Irvington
avenue, Montrose venue, Charlton
avenue, Randolph place or Stanley
road should not b. made to assume the
cost of the improvements, espe-
,ially in view of the wear and tear by
automobiles. They contend that the
community should be made to pay
share of the cost and say they
will defend their contentious with
yigor.
