popular sentiment expressed at a
meeting of the mayor, councilmen
and citizens last night it is very
probable that the proposed changes
of the New York & Long Branch
railroad regarding the Matawan
creek will be carried out as planned.
About se~venty-five interested par
ties were present and only two or
three farmers objected to the plans
of the railroad. They claim that if
the railroad complete their proposed
ideas then large strips of their
lands will be taken from them.
A publiC hearing on the matter
will be held in the school house Aug
ust s at which the War Department
will be represented. 1t is planned
to change the course of MataWan
Creek and erect an arch for the

SEDHERSK|RT
FOR BANDACES
Nurse Renders Prompt Aid
to CycIist Near MataWan.

Matawan, July 31:-Hurriedly
taking off an underskirt and tearing
it into bandages, a nurse, who was
said to be from the Monmouth Me-
mortal Hospital at Long Branch,
gave first aid to an injured motor
cyclist Monday afternoon. Then she
had the Long Branch express tagged
and assisted in placing the wounded
man aboard the train. He is in Me-
mortal Hospital with both legs
broken. his thigh fractured and
bruised from head to foot.
The injured MAJ is John Brisbane,
of Bridgeton, who was on his way
from New York to his home in South
Jersey when the accident happened.
He was in collision with the automo-
bile of Frank w. Briggs, of Forked
River, formerly an automobile deal
er in B~elleville avenue, Newark. In
Franklin, of 95 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., also of Newark. Both were cut
by the flying glass from the wind
shield.
Briggs was taken before Prosecu-
tor John S. Apologize, of Red Bank,
where after explaining the circum-
stances and showing that he was not
responsible for the collision he was
allowed to go.
The accident happened on the hill
neal the farm of Richard w. Her.
bert, at Wickatunk. Briggs was on
his way to Newark, and was riding
up the hill, while Brisbane was
riding in the opposite direction. A
wagon hid the view of both autoist
and motorcyclist. Brisbane was said
to be riding at a high speed, and
those who saw him racing down the
hill believed that he had lost con
troll of his machine.
Without any intimation of danger
his machine suddenly swerved and
ran head ON into the automobile,
which had been stopped. The i'm
pact was so great hat the auto was
put out of commission and the mo-
torcyele was a complete wreck.
Briggs and his companion were
pitched from their machine and lay
stunned for a minute. When they
recovered their senses they saw Bris
bane unconscious only a few fee
away.
About this time the nurse. who
refused to give her name, but adj
mitted, SO it was said, she was ON
nected with the Long Branch hospi-
tai, drove up in an automobile. 1t
was only the work of a moment for
her to doff her white skirt and tear
it into bandages. Then she skilful-
ly bound up the m~otorcyclist's in
%juries, and, placing him in the car
she had been occupying, drove with
him as fast az possible to the rail
road station. Station Agent ElWood
Van Brackle was asked to flag the
Long Branch express, which was due
at $40. The agent had no power
to do this, and the nurse then COM
municated with the trainmaster at
the main Office of the railroad in
Long Branch. Word came back
directing the agent to stop the train.
This was done and Brisbane was
taken to Long Branch.
Officer Mulsoff, of this place, ac-
companied Briggs before the prose
cutor.

INSURANCE MEN HAVE
OUTING ON THE ISLAND

The agents of the John Hancock
Mutual Life Insurance Company
2eld their annual outing recently at
~Bamberger's park, Eltingville, and
had a very pleasant day of it. They
arrived at about IL o'clock, quite
hungry after the long ride.
The single men of the agency de-
feated the married Inen at baseball,
6 to 4.
superintendent Won Mechow says
that if the single men hadn't ex-
Cashier Jensen to pitch for them it
would have been different, because
he was put out twice at third base
by the e~x-cashier; but they were
proud to have him along, as he was
connected with the agency since its
opening and was only transferred to
Paterson a few months ago. He
also gave the boys the pleasure of
meeting the superintendent of the
Paterson agency, Mr.. Magonigle,
who informed the locals that they
would meet them again when the
Paterson, New Jersey, Hoboken and
Newark agencies hold their outing
at Now Dorp August 10.
After the baseball game a bowling
mech WEaa, started, with Superinten-
dent Won M66how captain of n side,
and Assistant De Witt captain of the
team. Assistant De Wits team won
by a small margin. All De Witt was
anxious to do was to beat Won
MeehoW's score.
All then sat down to supper. Su-
pe~rintendent Won Mechow made a
few remarks. Assistants Birming-
..aHp. De Witt, Schmidt and Haggerty
and DR.. Wilkinson spoke about the
agency, saying in particular that as
1912 is the tiftieth anniversary of
the company, they were going to
make it a banner year for the
agency.
Gerson Weiss, Of the Brooklyn
agency, wished the locals all success
and the field force plenty of luck, as
he was once an agent IN Staten Is
land himself. He said he was doing
well in Brooklyn, but always had a
kind remembrance of the time he
was connected with the company on
Staten Island.
There was more bowling, and
then the party, all feeling both tired
and satisfied, got ready to return
home.
