HORSES DROWN
AT SPOTSW00D
Two Steeds of Albert TiIton
of jamesburg Run Away.
.csn, - tha nvrNtNn NFws.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Spotswood, Mar. 20 - Two valu-
able horses, owned by Albert Tilton,
| of Jamesburg, were drowned late
last night in two feet of water In
ditch near the railroad station at
East Spotswood, as a result of a
Runaway accident In which Tilton
and a colored driver were thrown
out and miraculously escaped in
| juries. One of the horses, in its
death agonies, kicked of three of its
shoes. The wagon and the yoke held
the horses down in the ditch and
made drowning possible in such
shallow water.
Started at Old Bridge.
| 1t is understood that the runa-
ways, attached to heavy farm wag-
on, left Old Bridge about 10 O'Clock
last night and galloped towards
Spotswood, two miles away, despite
the efforts of Tilton to control the
frightened steeds. The rig missed
the Pennsylvania railroad crossing
at East Spotswood by six feet and
crossed over the tracks and road
bed at terrific speed, judging from
the marks seen today in the road
way. The team then continued
across the macadam road into the
fence on the estate of Thomas Per-
rine, whereupon the near-maddened
horses turned towards the road
again. 1t was at this point that the
outfit plunged into the shallow
ditch, horses beneath the wagon. 1t
| is impossible to relate how the men
escaped death or serious injuries.
Kicks OF Shoes In Agony.
The horses showed evidence OF
fiercely struggling for life in the
water. AS related, one of the horses
evidently kicked off three shoes In
| its agonies, for they were found a
short distance away and out of the
| track taken by the frightened ami
mails In their mad fight across the
railroad tracks. An inquiry at the
| lSpotswood railroad station revealed
| the fact that no trains passed
| through here at that hour last night,
| therefore 1t is hard to conjecture
what caused the runaway. The au-
tomato bell al the crossing was in
good working order, this morning
| the railroad crew determined, and
all crossing lights were burning and
in good condition.
Driver Walks Home.
Tilton had not returned for the
wagon, which is still serviceable, at
a late hour this morning. In fact,
the wreck was not discovered until
workmen passed early today enroute
to an Old Bridge factory. Tilton
made no report of the accident to
local authorities, and must have con-
Itinued on foot TO mis- home in James
burg. The name of the colored man
who accompanied Tilton could not
be learned, although it is understood
that he is employed by Tilton to as
|sist In working the farm of Fred
Buckelew, at Jamesburg, on which
Tt1ton resides. The farm is located
between Buckelew Hin and Half
Acre, on the outskirts Of Jamesburg.
Mr.. BuckeIew is a member OF the
firm of Perrine & Buckelew, James
burg's we'll known wholesale mer-
chants.

WHAT THE ISSUES ARE.

Ii it charged that the Progressive state ticket was
nominated to defeat the Republican state ticket we plead
guilty and claim that the desired result is already accom-
plished.
If it is charged that it organized to defeat the
Democratic state ticket likewise plead guilty. but are
not yet quite certain OF accomplishing the result The
only for doubt however, the knowledge that the
crswhe supporters of the Republican state ticket are
figuring abandoning such support and focking to the
support OF the Democratic nominees. Many of them
openly announce their intention to do this.
However, we feel pretty certain that the people of the
state understand the situation and that they know that
the present campaign there is to be straight alignment
between prOgresses side and reaconares on the
ether
gressye state ticket if they wish their votes to be counted
for full value in favor of progressive candidates and
gressve principles, and the reactiOnaries must likewise
OF necessity vote for the Democratic candidates if thew
wish their votes to count full value for reactOnary cand
dates and reactionary principles Unless some of the
Republicans commit the folly OF supporting Haines and
the balance of the Republican state ticket the victory will
Haines has is among the reactonary voters of the
southeast where it is than likely they will remain
loyal to Halnes. Ii they do it will just so many re-
dictionary votes taken from the Democratic nominees and
it means just much of division of the reactonary sup
port and that just much greater assurance of
Progressive victory.
few progressive voters have not yet seen the sua-
ton just as is but they rapidly getting their
open and gradually understanding that the apparent
division of the reaconary special interest vote only
for the purpose OF decevng their enemesthe
sive votersand that when the time comes they will be
found aligned with the Democratic organization in order
to defeat the Progressive ticket Whether they succeed
again in doing this not depends upon whether
ve voters will vote for progressive candidates and
