ACCIDENT AT B. & O. CROSSING c
VIM Johnson Killed Instantly and Brother Seriously In
jured-Inquest To Be Held Friday

Newark and vicinity was shock
- Iatc Sunday night by one Of the
.ost horrible accidents ever exper-
;enccd in the neighborhood when
william Johnston, aged As, and
brothcr. Atwood Johnston, aged 35,
were struck by westbound train
At the 3. T. O. crossing, Main street,
tbe former being instantly killed
and the latter suffering severe in
Mossrs. Johnston had driven to
,be home of their sister, Mrs.
lanes Brown, west Of town, to Wis
il their mother who was quite i'll.
They were returning to their home
near Milford Cross Roads about
eleven o clock when the accident oc
cared.
For sometime the citizens Of
Newark have felt that the protec-
tion at this point was inadequate,
in view of the fact that New Lon
don Avenue and Main street con-
verge at this point and the trains
round a curve only a few yards
north of the public roads. 1t was
learned today that representatives
Of the b. & O., by invitation, met
with Council a few weeks ago to
discuss Il change, but the two par
ties were unable to come to an
agreement and the matter was de-
fprrpd. The accident of Sunday
was the latest of a series which
have stirred the community dur
ing the past few weeks, and some
Immediate change is anticipated,
either the removal Of the grade
crossing. or the presence OF two 'Or
three reliable watchmen on S-hour
shifts. to share the duties of the
present one.
The watchman on duty last
Sunday evening, in accordance
with his outlined duties, had gone
to the station, about 100 yards dis
tant. to lock the waiting room. He
was on his way back to the watch
box when a fast immigrant train
rounded the curve and struck the
Johnston buggy. The horse, which
was killed instantly, was thrown a
distance of fifty yards, while the
buggy was completely demolished.
William Johnston was breathing
when picked up but died within
five minutes. The younger man,
Atwood Johnston, had suffered
bad cuts about the face and the
body, while it is feared he is in
iu,5 internally. lie was uncon-
s,.oa- for >om' time, but about

Henry Lawrence Southwick, heaC
OF the Emerson college of oratory
Boston, who is perhaps the foremos,
reader in the country today, will give
a Shakespearian program in the Nor
NAL auditorium on Thursday evening
May %, under the auspices Of the
Music club, of this city. His subject
will be Hamlet" ITO students and
others this will be one Of the rare
treats Of the year. Prof. Southwick is
one of those artists whose reputa'
ton is such as needs no advertise
ment. The Atlanta Constitution
was not extravagant in the following
recent remark:
"A more powerfully and beautifully
expressed discourse on. any subject
has not been heard here in many a
day. Prof. Southwick is justly consid-
cred the most powerful exponent of
Shakespearian philosophy and express
sion in the country and his lectures on
the greatest creations of the greatest
dramatist the world has ever known
are gems of oratory."

at the new Little Theatre, Philadel-
