RAILROAD PAY
FOR FUNERAL
Estate of South Amboy Vic
tim Get a Judgment.

In the court of common pleas OF
Hudson county at Jersey City yes
terday, Michael Bohan, of South Am
boy, administrator of the estate of
the late John Bohan, who met his
death September, 1911, near South
Amboy on the Pennsylvania railroad,
represented by Attorney Thomas
Brown, of Perth Amboy, was award
ed a judgment sufficient to cover the
funeral and burial expenses and the
cost of bringing the suit.
In September, 1911, as John Bohan
was on his way to work he stopped
at a steam shovel. While he was
watching the machine work a train
came down the track which he was
standing on, and the engine knocked
him down an embankment. He sus-
tanned fatal injuries. Bohan had
been employed by the railroad as a
section hand.
The court held that, though the
accident was caused by his inadvert-
ance, hat he should be entitled to
the full benefits of the corporation
act, which far an unmarried man,
who leaves no dependents, is the pay
ment of the expenses of the burial
and funeral by the company.

I2-I2-I2 APPEARS ON
MANY LETTERS TODAY

The numerals "12-12-12" will ap-
pear on many letters today and will
no doubt create a large amount of
surprise. Such a sequence of num-
bers have perhaps not been seen by
many people, as they occur about
once in a century. Authorities on
the subject state that a similar COM
bination of figures will not occur un-
til January l, 2001, when those that
are living at that date will be able
to write Til"
That will happen e~ighty-nine years
hence and a great many of those who
read this article will not be living at
that time. One hundred years from
today people will also be able to date
their correspondence "~12-12-12."
Therefore the thing for everybody to
do today is to write as many letters
as possible and date them with the
three twelves.
Another date this week will be
Friday, December 10. Those who are
superstitious or are given to making
hoodoos will do we'll to sleep all day.
Even by adding the 1912 sign after
the date you cannot escape the hoo
doc, as the numerals when added
separately, thusly, 1912, will total
the fatal "13." In full the date will
be Friday, December 10, 1912. Do
not walk under ladders, smash a
window or look at the moon over
your left shoulder and you will per-
haps pull through the day all right.

WHAT RED
CROSS DO

Every Red Cross Christmas Seal that
is sold is a real bullet in the fight
against tuberculosis. These seals last
year helped to support thousands of
needy tuberculosis patients and to give
them a chance for life. They provided
for many visiting nurses, whose hun
dreds of thousands visits brought in
struction and cheer to numerous pa
TENTS. They helped maintain dispen-
saries in scores of cities from the At
lantic to the Pacific, where thousands
Of consumptive patients received free
treatment, aid and advice. They pro-
vided the means to purchase millions
of copies Of circulars, pamphlets and
other literature with which the public
has been educated about tuberculosis.
They have established and helped to
maintain more than seventy-fve open
air schools for children who needed
open-air treatment. These are just a
few of the ways in which the $330,000
received last year was expended. This
year a million dollars is needed. Sure
ly any o e can help by buying at least
ten seals.

Buried Under Tons Of Cement.

A human hand protruding from
amidst tons of cement, the frames of
which was removed several years ago,
was found in one of the concrete
pillars of the government dam across
the Mississippi river at Keokuk the
other day and explains the disap-
pearance several weeks ago of one of
the laborers.
The mans body is imbeded in the
solid concrete and is likely to stay
there, as to blast it out would destroy
not only the body, but great part of
one of the largest blocks of cement
composing the dam.
The disappearance of laborer was
noted several weeks ago, but it was
not known that he had fallen into the
frame into which tons of concrete
were, being dumped.
Reports this morning are to the effect
that the story is not true.
