psecial to the EVENING NEWS.


Keyport, Dec. 2.-When the atten-
ton to the OVERLOOKING of the man
hole at the lower end OF Second
street, was called to the superinten-
dent, A. d. Badle, and the borough
officials, the latter part OF the last
week, the stoppage of the sewer pipes
in some ann on that division was
the quick conclusion, but not the way
in which 1t proved to be.
An investigation was at once made
and the trouble was located at the
manhole near the pumping station
along the shore. The cover Of the
manhole had been removed and the
hole had been filled with 5rickbats,
seaweed and all manner of handy
material. The work of the unloading
of the borough's new system of its
collection of miscellaneous refuse
was started and In order to stop the
flow Of water while at work a sand
bag attached to a rope was placed by
the workmen at the mouth of the
was drawn into the sewer and in re-
covering it the rope broke.
The bag is expected to be recov-
cred today and-the- system restored to
its normal condition. If such a
mean, malicious, contemplate trick
as the deliberate blocking up of the
system is allowed to pass without
special efforts to unearth the perpe-
traitors of the crime by the author
tiles, even if it necessitates the SER
vices of a professional detective to
apprehend the guilty party or persons
Ia greater damage to the system and
danger to the citizens may be ex-
pected In the future.

KILLED BY
SWITCH SHAFT
SayreviIlo Man Dies in Am.
buIance--S. A. Accident.

With his right hip broken and the
muscles and ligaments Of his back
gouged out by q steel switch shaft
against which an engine of the Cross
man Clay and Sand Works, South
Amboy, had pushed him, Frank
Matusheski, OF S~ayreville, died In an
ambulance OF st. Peters General
Hospital, OF New Brunswick, just be-
fore reaching the county bridge as
he was being taken to that 1nstitu-
ton Friday night about 8 O'Clock.
The body, when picked up by fellow
workmen, presented a gruesome and
horrible spectacle.
Matusheski, a brakeman on No. 2
dinkey engine which carries clay at
the Crossman works, started to dis
mount from the locomotive, about IL
A. NJ, which was backing to a switch
that the brakeman meant to throw
to let the engine in on another track.
He climbed down the steel ladder on
the right side of the real end Of the
tender, but slipped on the last round.
In falling his Jacket vas caught by
the small iron bar which serves as a
handle for the lever that lifts the
coupling pin. The lower part of his
body was precipitated under the
right running board and the backing
engine dragged him along with his
legs a few inches from the wheels
until reaching the switch. -
The shaft of the switch was turn
ed toward the track, so close that the
running board of a passing locomo-
tive goes over the steel rod. The
lower part Of Matusheski's back was
just under the board, and the engine
showed the body on top Of the sharp
projectile, which ripped the back
open from side to side, blowing up
the muscles and ligaments on~both
sides Of the spinal column and snap
ping dozen of veins. The engineer
looked around and saw the CHASTITY
sight too late to shut-Off the power.
He brought the engine to a stop as
SOC IS possible and calling to some
fellow employees, extricated the mans
clothes from the coupling pin handle
and carried him to a nearby offlce OF
the plant, where the now Of blood
was stanched.
He was placed face downward on
a stretcher and four men bore him
home rs quick as possible. In the
meantime DR.. e. A. Meacham had
been notified and arrived at the
house In a few minutes. 1t was de-
cided to take him to St. Peters Hos
pital, but from some misunderstand-
ing the institution was not notified
for several hours and the ambulance
did not arrive until about 7 O'Clock,
The vehicle had nearly reached the
county bridge when the physician
from the institution, who had been
watching the dying man, felt his
pulse, which had stopped beating,
and saw that he had succumbed. The
ambulance was ordered back to
~Sayreville with the body.
Matusheski was twenty-five years
old, and leaves a brother and uncle,
of South Amboy, and a father and
mother in Russia. He was unmar-
ried and lived in a boarding house.
The funeral services were conduct
ed in the Polish church of South Am
