MAN is KILLED
IN SAND BANK
John MeviIish Meets Death
at South River Plant.

South River, July 17:-Caught in
a cave-in, something he had feared
for many years, John Mevilish, forty
years old, a we'll known Hungarian
resident of this place, WAS crushed
to death at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the plant of the South
River Brick Company. Mevilish,
who vas caught between tons of
sand and a heavy carting wagon,
sustained Internal injuries which
proved fatal before his call for help
was answered.
Mevilish had worked for the
South River Brick Company for the
last five years and knew the treach-
cry and fatality of a cave-in. He
went to work yesterday afternoon
with a premonition of an impending
danger, 1t Is said, and bid his faith
full wife a long farewell. The in
dustrious and hard working couple
have no children. Mevi1ish had
been at work for a number Of days
on a sand mine" in a section of the
company's yard and had as a helper
a colored man by the name of
George Holmes. The latter was en-
gagged yesterday afternoon in driving
the sand cart back and forth from
the cave to the works, while the ac-
cident victim continued to dig out
the cave and load the extra wagon.
1t was while thus employed that
the overhead and treacherous roof
Of sand fell without warning upon
the fleeing form Of the laborer, who
always informed his friends that he
worked with one eye on his shovel
and the other on the roof" The
sand heap was quicker than the
man, however, and the body Of the
frightened Hungarian was flung
with terrific force against the wagon.
When Holmes appeared on the
scene he found his companion fiat
ened against the wagon, with but his
head showing above the tumbled
sand. Instead Of lending immediate
assistance, which would have saved
Mevilish's life, many declare. the
frightened colored man ran to the
office Of the company for aid. When
Holmes returned he found Mevilish
dead.

trolley connections for years., may
get into touch with the Public Ser
vice development, II plans which are
now being discussed meterialize.
Among the plans that the Public
Service Company Is said to have I'M
der consideration Is the building of
a spur from the New Brunswick
line somewhere near Dutch Neck
and perhaps to Cranbury. Another
possibility Is q through service to
the Interstate Fair grounds from
State and Warren streets, Trenton,
during fair week. There Is now a
half mile spur to the grounds from
the main line of the New Brunswick
road.
Additional Service.
Additional trolley facilities for
other parts of Middlesex may be the
result of the action Of the Public
Utility Commission in approving the
lease Of the Riverside Traction Com
pany to the Public Service Com
pany. This lease, and the already
approved lease Of the Trenton and
New Brunswick line, will give the
Public Service Company a contin-

With the completion of the bridge
