A wireless message brought the facts of
distressing accident that occurred while
Fred L. Krayer and some friends were
taking stroll in the country on Sunday,
Sd inst. When pretty well eastward the
party reached small stream in the woods
and Fred made the first start to cross 1t.
Juat az he was about to Jump from steep
embankment his foot slipped on some mud
and he landed square in the middle of the
ditch, going into water up to his waist and
crawling out on the opposite side to his
disadvantage. But he got back again,
in quick order, and then rolled
down the hill and into the ditch again,
going into the water head first. Conclud-
ing to dry out at the home of his aunt,
the young men continued on to Smithville,
only to iud that the house was closed

return to Mount Holly. and 1t was only

1t is said that beginning with the first
Of the year there will be radical changes
at the Pennsylvania terminal. Camden,
which win probably necessitate the re-
moval of the entire clerical force of the
Amboy Division to Trenton. Under pres
emit conditions the terminal and the tracks
as far as Morris station are under the
supervision of the Amboy Division, the
West Jersey and Seashore Division only
having charge at the beginning Of Its
tracks leaving Bridge avenue. Bnder the
new order of things Superintendent Victor
Wiermsn of the Amboy Division, will go
to Trenton, where he will establish his
headquarters. The present building at
Front and Federal streets, Camden, occu-
pied by the clerical force of this division,
will be turned over to the West Jersey
Division. That this will mean a great
change with respect to the employees is
shown by the fact that those In the yard
are now under the direction of the Amboy
and that they will go to Trenton. For
some time past 1t 10 said that the West
Jersey has been greatly cramped for room
and this new order of things Is thus made
| imperative.
