NEARLY STRUCK
BY FAST TRAIN
Accident Averted at Unpre-

pecta1 to the EVENING NEWS.

GpeciaI to the EVENING NEWS
Jamesburg, Sept. 5:-By the
narrow margin of not I'VE ten feet
an accident was averted at the low
err J~amesburg crossing at 8 o'clock
Monday night when a team of
horses owned by Frank Perrine and
driven by Frank Mclaughlin, at
tempted to make the crossing in
safety.
1t was quite dark and the flag
man, Edward Callahan, had just left
his post for the night when an eX-
cursion train, west bound, rushed
by after missing the team by the
narrow margin noted. SO great was
the effort of the driver to prevent
the team from setting foot to the
tracks that he used his entire
strength and the effort was SO great
that he fell headlong to the ground
after pulling the horses on their
launches. Several pedestrians
crossing the tracks at the time were
witnesses to the tragedy.
All the crossings are unprotected
after the regular scheduled trains
have passed through.
