WARNING FOR
TRAIN RIDERS
Recorder Will Send Them to
jail, He Says.

Train riders and persons who
lounge about railroad yards will be
punished most severely II caught in
the future, according to Recorder
Pickersgill. During the arraignment
of four boys and youths last night,
arrested as the result of the stop
ping and robbing of a Central
freight train Tuesday night, the re-
corder made It plain that train rid
ers, freight thieves and the like,
would be dealt with in the severest
manner prescribed by law. He said
the railroads were tired of having
merchandise stolen, property dam
aged and stones thrown at passenger
trains, and that they were exercising
every means OF apprehending per-
sons guilty of such crimes. They
have the backing of the courts, SO
that where proof of such unfaw wful-
ness Is furnished, the guilty culprtts
will not escape punishment.
William Morgan, fourteen years
old, of 834 Hall avenue, arrested
Tuesday night by Central Railroad
Detective Manss, and Martin Ram
say, seventeen years old, of 500 Ar
iOlu avenue, Ill iSbIcuy LoSCtuSl Will
two other youths yesterday, were ar
raigned at Z o'clock last night.
Morgan's bail on the charge of petty
larceny was reduced from $500 to
$500 and the charge Of malicious
mischief was not considered and bail
withdrawn, the court contending he
was not guilty Of aiding to stop the
freight train. Ramsay was also
placed under bonds in the amount
of $500 bail to await the action Of
the county court on a charge of petty
larceny. Morgan swore that Ram
say aided him in lifting large bas-
ket OF Bartlett pears from a car.
The other two prisoners were dis
charged. Just before they were let
go, Recorder Pickersgill emphasized
that the train riders caught would
be Soaked and burned" to the
limit of his judicial power.

John GofIs Saved from Death
by Being Struck by Man
on Bicycle.
SPECTATORS POWERLESS
Was In Path of Auto and
Trolley Car and His Death
Seemed Certain.

But for eight year old John CARTS
of 4S5 State street, being knocked
down by bicycle yesterday after
noon the little boy would probably
have been killed by an automobile or
trolley car which were racing down
State street parallel with the bicycle
The boy had started across from
Buckingham avenue to the west side
of State street. If the bicycle had
not hit him he would have undoubt-
edly been struck by the automobile,
which passed swiftly between the
trolley car and bicycle. The child's
head struck the pavement causing q
deep cash Just over his right eye and
requiring two stitches which were
made by DR.. ]. V. Smith at his Office
In State street.
Victor Satter was coming from up
State street above the Lehigh Valley
bridges about O'Clock, and was
making the same speed of trolley
car going south. When nearing
Buckingham avenue the bicyclist
veered his wheel to the left after
hearing an automobile approaching
IN the rear. On reaching Bucking-
ham avenue, the automobile passed
at high speed between the trolley
and bicycle, and simultaneously the
child who had started across the
street, came in the pathway of the
wheelman.
Mr.. Satter tried to stop his bicycle,
and when he struck the boy was him
self thrown from his seat. He pick
ed up the lad and carried him to the
office of DR.. Smith. The boy was
after a while able to walk home.
All witnesses say that 1t is lucky the
child was struck by the bicycle lest
he would have been killed by the
automobile or trolley car, which
would inevitably have struck him had
he escaped the bicycle and passed on
across the street.

helped make a quiet affair" Of the
wedding of Miss Harriet v. Hadley,
pretty Cincinnati society girl, and
John H. Andriot, a Cincinnati man
ufacturer, escorted the newlyweds to
the depot with q band today when
they left on a trip to Yellowstone

WAS to real soft pedal ceremony.
Androit arranged that his f1ance
should come to Chicago to meet him
at a quiet hotel, go to a little
church around the corner and then
start the honeymoon. He told Judge
Smith, of Huntington, West Virginia,
about 1t and Smith promised to be
mum. This is what happened.
Androit's taxicab driver "misun-
derstood" the direction and speeded
to the Hotel Sherman instead of the
quiet hotel. The orchestra met the
couple at the door and played a we'd
ding marches.
Twelve bellhops, rigged up as
flower girls and bridesmaids, fell In
behind. Androit and his fiance were
escorted with some force to stage,
where a minister pronounced them

cheered.

DENIES OFFER
FROM |. Y. R. R.
Mayor Says Crossing Move
ment Not Costing City $500.

Unable to ascertain how, when
and where an offer of $4,000 was
ever made by the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Company to the city towards
the erection of bridge for the ex-
tension of Convery Place, Mayor
Ferd Garretson refutes the insinua-
ton Of at least three aldermen that
the move to abolish railroad grade
crossings has caused loss of $500
to the city. He states that the
$4,000 now asked for by the railroad
company is not for a right OF way
across Its tracks. as that has been
given. he claims. but Is supposed to
be for expenses to be incurred by the
company in removing, relocating and
reconstructing a track now In the
way OF proposed bridge piers.
1t developed at the council meet
ing Monday night that the railroad
company was splicing the city by
withdrawing an alleged offer OF
$4,000 and asking for $4,000 instead,
because OF the city's fight for the re-
moval of It's New Brunswick avenue
and Washington street grade cross
ings. 1t then appeared to be the con-
tention of at least three aldermen,
Messrs. Hilker, Seaman and Sand
beck, that Attorney Middleton, for
the railroad, had offered the city
$4,000. Mr.. Sandbeck declared 1t
was the same man who had made a
similar verbal offer of letting the city
construct the proposed bridge across
the company's tracks for $4,000.
Mayor Garretson denies this, claim
ing he has the latest offer in writing.
He says, 'Diligent inquiry fails to
reveal any record of the alleged pro-
posal of the Lehigh Valley to pay
the city $4,000 toward the erection
of bridge. The city clerk asserts
that the offer did not come through
his office and the city attorney de-
clared yesterday that the offer was
never made to him, although he had
heard 1t WAS made to some one; he
did not know when or where. There
Is no record Of such an offer.

withdrawing an offer of 5000 for
the erection OF the bridge over Con-
very Place. Where ia the offer and
to whom was 1t made7 No one seems
to know, although the impression has

Members of Party.

A crowd, estimated at over 1900
elated over the prospects of a beauti-

three sections of the consolidated
summer excursion OF eleven Sunday

the Dublin Lehigh Valley station
In New Brunswick avenue. another

two sections had nine cars each and
the one from Woodbridge had four
coaches. The first started at 8.16,
the second at $50 and the third at
8.46. All stopped at the station in
New Brunwick avenue.
All seemed in merry moods, which
were not In the least dissipated by
in many cases large bundles of choice
edibles, which bulged out from under
the picnickers' arms, There we're
more representatives Of the Sunday
schools than Of the older members of
the churches, but nevertheless there
was fair allotment of elderly men
and women.
Rev. Ole Nielsen, Rev. James Il.

charge of the affair are Chairman
Edwin G. Fraser, treasurer Wilbur
La Roe and secretary Chris Arner.
