AFTERNOONS ACCIDENT.

Comment on the frightful accident that oc-
CURED at the Sewaren grade crossing Satur-
day afternoon is hardly necessary. It is only
another one of those horrors that is occurring
all the time at one or the other Of the thou
sands of grade crossings throughout the state.
AS long as the people remain Indifferent to
these death-traps, or allow their representa-
tives in the legislature to daily with the mat
er, so long do we invite just such catastrophes
as has now shocked this entire community.
All who have used the crossing at Sewaren
where this accident happened, realize that it
is extremely dangerous. It is an important
highway where there is a great deal Of traffic,
yet the only pretense at a safeguard is a bell
which is supposed to ring at the approach of
every train. Hundreds of trains thunder
across this place daily, many of them making
great speed. There is a straight track and a
down grade which is an invitation to engineers
to make up lost time, especially on the express
trains bound for Long Branch, Lakewood or
Atlantic City.
It seems strange that in reckoning the ex-
pense of placing safety gates at a grade cross
ing, several lives must be taken into the &C
counting. 1t would cost a railroad but a few
hundred dollars a year to construct and main
tain safety gates at a crossing Of this kind.
yet the company fights any attempt to force
such action, preferring to wait until several
lives have been wiped out and the people are
aroused as they are at the present time.
The railroad that is operated to pay divi-
dends rather than to furnish decent accommo
dations for the public and to safeguard cross
ings, can expect little sympathy from the pub
lie. 1t would be a comparatively easy matter
to carry this road at the crossing where the
accident occurred Saturday, beneath the
tracks, yet rather than do so the company has
invited just such damage suits that are bound
to result from the recent accident.
But what we have just experienced is taking
place all over the state nearly every day. How
many more lives must be lost before the peo-
pie will be sufficiently aroused to insist upon
legislation that will abolish grade crossings in

WE WANT LIGHT

Perth Amboy demands sufficient light at the
Central railroad station at night and along the
pathway leading to the station. These lights
must be kept burning continuously all the
evening. This is a small thing for a city of
this size to ask. We are ashamed to ask it,
thus letting our sister cities know that we are
so far behind the times and allow the railroad
to thus ignore us. But to remain silent longer
is only playing into the hands of this parsi.
monious corporation that now turns the lights
at the station off after the departure Of every
train to turn them on again only when the
next train approaches. PERTH AMBoY IN

AN ACTIVE HARBOR BOARD.

Mayor Garretson's assurance that he will
appoint a harbor board Immediately after the
first of the year and that it will become an
active body, means much for the future Of
Perth Amboy. A harbor board might be ap-
pointed but if it was not active it would be
of little use. To be active means to be doing
something, and that is what Perth Amboy
wants along the waterfront at the present
time. There is a great problem to be worked
out in this city regarding commerce, and it is
time the matter was being given the consider
alton it should receive.
A municipal dock capable of accommodate
ing large steamers is, perhaps, Of the first i'm
portance. But the problem that should re-
ceive attention is the connecting of railroad
lines with our piers SO that no one corpora
ton will have q monopoly.
The recent conference held in New York
when port commissioners Of the leading cities
of the East got together, brought out some
very important facts showing that every NUM-
cipality is striving to retail the control of its
waterfront, and where such has been accomp-
lished it has been a source of great revenue
to the city. +

OUR HOME STORES.

With the rapid approach of Christmas at
tention is once more called to the attractive
ness Of the stores in Perth Amboy. Local
merchants have spared no pains to make their
business houses the finest possible and what
cannot be found on the shelves and counters
in this city is not worth hunting for.
The merchants Of Perth Amboy have always
distinguished themselves as headquarters for
the shoppers, and this year is no exception.
Nothing can be gained by going out Of town
for purchasing things for Christmas and much
time and annoyance will be saved. Look
about at home and be sure that your money
is kept in Perth Amboy before going else
where. We are confident you will be more
than satisfied with your experience.
Is there any significance in the fact that
whenever a city desires to borrow the Liberty
Bell for an exposition, the Philadelphia au-
thorities suddenly find something the matter
with the relic, the crack spreading, or some
thing Of the sort that will prevent It being

NOGT'S WILL Is MADE PUBLIC.
When Prepared the Countess Had
Not Decided on Death.

Toxic, Sept. l7.-Thc will Of Gen.
Count Maresuke Nogi, who with his
wife, the Countess Nogi, committed
suicide At the moment that the body
OF the late Emperor was started on
its journey to the tomb, was pub
lished here to-day.
The Japanese warrior says that he
follows the Emperor because his SER
vices are no longer required in this
world. He had often sought to die
he adds, and chooses as the occasion
for his departure from this life the
present great national calamity under
which .ne country is !ahoring.
The document bears the date Of the
night OF September ~, "a hours pre-
vious to the taking Of his life, and it
indicates that tho death Of the
countess had not been decided upon
when the instrument was prepared.
Gen. Nogi distributed his property
among his wife and friends, and
makes donations to a number of pub
lie institutions. He says that while
his wife lives the house Of Nogi may
be maintained, but that after her
death the line will be extinct.
The Port Arthur hero suggests that
his body be given to a medical col
legc, requiring that only his teeth
and finger and toe nails be buried in
the grave.

DAISY GRACE SEEKS DIVORCE.
Dispatch from Philadelphia Says Suit
&, VIII BE Filled There.
(Atlanta JOurnal.)

A special dispatch from Philadel-
phia to The Journal states that Mrs.
Daisy Opie Grace, recently acquitted
Of the charge Of shooting her hus-
band, has announced that divorce
proceedings against Eugene II. Grace
will be instituted in the next Penn
sylvania courts during tho next two
days.
Mrs. Grace told q Journal CORES
pendent that her grounds for divorce
would DO cruel treatment and non
support, and that Philadelphia at
torncys are now preparing the pa
pers.
Mrs. Grace, it is said, will. main
tain that she has never removed her
residence from Pennsylvania.
Eugene Grace has often stated
that he will SUE for divorce himself,
but on account Of the Georgia laws
he cannot file his suit until Novem-
Der. when he will have completed a
years continuous residence in Gcor-
gia.
Mrs. Grace, it is said. has many
reasons for wishing t. .astcn the di-
Vorce proceedings, and chief among
these is the fact that as long as she
IS Eugene II. Gracc's wife she can
not dispose OF her property in the
State OF Pennsylvania without his
consent.

Fairly Spring Cabbage.

o.. a. Niven in Progressive Farmer.)
1t Is impossible to get real early
spring cabbage If you wait until Jan
uary or February to SOW the seed.
The custom of sowing cabbage seed
In a o in the house as you do to-
matO seed is an unnecessary one.
The cabbage plant is tough and will
stand in the field in this part Of the
South throughout the winter. OF
course, they will be killed sometimes,
but not very often. In order to get
these real early spring cabbage SOW
the seed in the bed out in the open
between the middle and latter part
Of October. Sow them just as you
would in the spring, and do not give
them any protection. Set them out
In the field or garden during the lat
December. However, they may be
set any time during December, Jan
uary or February, but the earlier
time is better. Don't make the mis-
take OF setting the mout too early.
If o do a large per CEN of them
will go to seed in the spring when
they should be heading. The cab
bagc is a biennial plant and if growth
is advanced toe far before cold
weather sets lii and the plant forced
into the dormant stage, 1t has the
same effect as two seasons growth,
and it Immediately goes to seed
wh"n growth starts the next spring.
Set the plants on the north side Of
a sharp ridge If the rows run east
and west, and on the west side If
they run north and south. This pro-
tects them from sudden freezing and
thawing, and they are far less liable
to be killed than If they we're on the
south or east side. Set the plants
deep, covering every bit Of the stem,
as the plant will die If the stem is
frozen and thawed many times. Care
must be taken not to cover the bud
of the plant when setting out.
Cabbage plants set out at this time
will make very little growth before
the spring. and a great many people
believe nothing is gained by putting
them out in the winter. This Is a
mistake, as the roots will be growing
during the winter and by the time
spring comes around the plants have
a we'll developed root system, and
they will spring il ! rapid growth
at the first approach Of spring. The
feed rotS have developed and they
send up all the food the plant can
use. This method will give You hard
head cabbage from four to seven
weeks earlier than the spring set
plants. Whether you are growing
them for home or market it will pay
You to plant in the winter instead
OF spring for the earliest cabbage.
Some will ask what varieties can
be planted at this time. The answer
is any variety.
Grow your W plants, and some
for your neighbour who believes it is
cheaper to buy them than to grow
them. You will be surprised at the
amount OF money You a make from
4 small piece Of ground this way.
The plants will not need any pro-
lection.
