the discovery that Mr.. William M.

ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE.

Another horrible accident, similar
to the one that happened Tuesday
night at the dangerous crossing of the
Reading Railroad in Pleasantville, was
just barely averted on Thursday night
by the timely warning of some one
who ran out of the barber shop of
Archie Willis, just north of the Read
ing tracks, and stopped large limou-
sine coming from towards Absecon.
just in time to save it from being
struck by the New York Express due
in Atlantic City at $40. The man
who tends the safety gates left as
usual at 80 and the place left wholly
unguarded. 1t is high time that
something should be done for the pro-
lection of human life at these grade
crossings, and the people should ar
ouse themselves against them and de-
mand elevated tracks through the city
over all public streets, before any
more lives have to be sacrificed by
mere carelessness of the railroads.

THREE LIVES LOST AS
TRAIN STRIKES VAN
Horrifying Accident in Center Of
Ciy When Reading Flyer
Claims Human Victims

Three more lives were added to the
toll of grade crossings last Tuesday
night when the Reading express, due
at Pleasantville from Camden at 9.22
crashed, while running at terrific
speed, into an automobile truck at the
Main street crossing.
The dead are Edward Pyle, owner
of the truck, aged 38 years and re-
siding at 5125 Market street, Phila-
delphia; Harry Kane, an employee,
and William Walker, colored, also an
employee.
All three were married and are sur
vived by wives and children.
No Flagman On Duty.
The ill-fated trio aboard the truck
had only few moments before left
Adams restaurant, and the huge
moving van was making good time on
its start to the Quaker City when the
crossing was reached.
There was no one to warn the oc-
cupants of their approaching death,
the railroad officials having issued an
order recently that the fiagman at
this point should leave his post of
duty at 9 o'clock in the evening, thus
affording no protection against the
express train due there half an hour
later.
Their view of the speeding train
shut off by store buildings, the truck
reached the crossing at the same in
slant the express came dashing past,
and as the hood of the hood of the
automobile collided with the locomo-
tive tender, there was a rending,
tearing crash that was heard half
mile distant. The great vehicle was

lided with the locomotive tender, there
was rending, tearing crash that was
heard a half-mile distant. The great
vehicle was hurled against the gate to
the right and the entire front smash
ed.
Pyles form, badly mutilated, was
found lying across the wrecked steer
ing wheel; Kane, mangled beyond rec
ognition, was buried under the debris.
while Walker was hurled against the
Weeks building with terrific force.
A Grewsome Sight.
As the train was brought grinding
to stop several hundred feet be-
yond the scene of the tragedy, the
passengers came pouring out of the
cars and hurried back to the cross
ing. Hundreds of residents of Pleas
antville also came rushing to the spot,
and the sight that confronted them
was grewsome in the extreme. Phys
icians were hastily summoned, but
they saw at glance that there was
no need of their services, and when
the terribly mutilated forms of the
ill-fated trio had finally been gathered
un they were hurried to an under
taking establishment.
Coroner Draws Jury.
Coroner Halvor L. Harley impanel-
ed a jury within short time after
the fatality, and an inquest will be
held within a few days. Magistrate
Joseph F. Weeks is foreman, and the
other members are Neil Campbell,
Charles j. Adams, Irving Higbee,
Charles S. Lutz and R. o. Bricker.
William and Percy A. Pyle. broth
ers of the unfortunate victim, arrived
in Pleasantville Wednesday morning
to take charge of the remains and dis
pose of the truck.
The household goods were removed
from the demolished truck on Thurs
day morning and the wreckage was
towed to the Palace Garage.

SCOTTISH SCHOOL
BIBLE TRAINING
ADJUDGED SUCCESS

GLASGOW; Scotland-Th Rev. Mr..
Cameron. .convener of the committee
on religious and temperance instruc-
ton in the school board schools of
Glasgow, stated at a recent meeting
of the Glasgow school board that
after more than years experience
of the scheme Of religious instruction
in high schools and higher-grade de-
partments they were able to report
that the experiment had ben entirely
successful The difficulties which
were anticipated by some had never
arisen
When Allen Glen's school, a school
for technical instruction now under
the supervision Of the board, came
into line in September, all the schools
of the board and all classes of the
schools would have Bible instruction.
He thought is was true to say that
there was more religious teaching
being given in the schools than In the
past, and that the Bible was more
securely entrenched IN their educa-
tional system than at any former
time.
