are important measures yet to be
passed and President Wilson is anx-
ious that congress dispose of them
before adjourning. OF course the
fact that congress will be in session
nullifies the campaign plans of mem
bers seeking reelection. If they do
their duty by the country and their
constituents and stick to their posts
of duty at the capital, they will have
to trust their campaigns largely to
their constituents, hoping that their
devotion to duty will get a proper

TRAIN PLUNGES
OFF TRESTLE; 4
NEARLY DROWN

When a speeding express train
plunged off an improvised trestle at
the Ducks Nest" a mile west of
Parlin yesterday in one of the most
costly scenes ever produced for NOV
ing pictures by the Vitagraph Com
pany of America, a real tragedy was
narrowly averted as four actors were
nearly drowned in the water scene
which followed the wreck, aud a
moving picture operator barely es-
capped death when the onrushing
locomotive failed to take the leap in
the manner which had been ex-
pected.
The train wrecking scene is ex-
pected to be one of the most thrilling
ever produced on the screen and the
spectacle was stupendous one.
Seventy-five movie" actors partici-
pated In the mimicry.
The story of The Juggernaut' is
expected to depict the history of a
powerful railroad president who has
neglected the upkeep of the railroad
until the Limited" on which his
daughter is a passenger, plunges off
the faulty trestle which he has OBJ
stinately refused to have repaired.
Thousands of people from all parts
of the state had heard of the awe
inspiring spectacle which was to be
produced and had congregated in the
vicinity. A Long Island railroad en-
gine, with three passenger coaches,
had been painted up brilliantly and
were ready to be sent smashing off
the trestle; SIS, 900 was the cost Of
staging the scene, and for three
weeks carpenters had been engaged
In building the high trestle which
played such an important part in the
film tragedy.
With fifteen cameras trained on
the trestle, Jack" Mcguire, engineer
of the Raritan River railroad, was
given the signal to start the locomo-
tive and the engine, with the coaches
filled with dummies, and started off

er, photographer, OF 44O State

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Sept. 2S.-Alleged to
have brutally assaulted Otto Simp-
son and robbing him of about fifty
dollars and leaving him for dead by
the roadside until assistance came,
Samuel Burr of New York, and
George Brown of Pennsylvania, both
colored were lodged In the borough
Jail here yesterday until they could
be transferred to the more secure
lookup at the county jan.
The alleged highwaymen were cap
tured on the road between South AM
boy and Morgan in the early after
noon by Chief of Police Macdonald,
of South Amboy. A description of
the men had been sent out TO the
surrounding police Saturday. Ii, is
understood that Chief Macdonald
was out after other game when he
came across the two men wanted.
Answering the description, he placed
them under arrest and paraded his
prisoners to South Amboy, where
they were held while the local Off
cials were notified. Officers Asbury

identified them as the men wanted.
Later Simpson, who lives near Mat
avian, was located and brought to the
borough Jail and identified the two
negroes as his assailants.
The two prisoners claim that they
came to this section of the country
as deck hands on the freight boats.
Simpson had been employed by AL
fred Woolley, a milk dealer of Mat
avian. The victim of the assault and
the accused, it appears, were seen
about the borough together during
the day. In the afternoon the party
walked to the outskirts of the bor-
ough, when in a lonely spot, Simp-
son claims that he was violently
struck on the head and in the face
with a club until he was helpless.
His battered countenance bears wilt
ness to this fact and that the attack
was most vicious. When he arrived
at the borough his condition war
critical. DR.. s. H. Cassidy rendered
surgical attention. Besides a smash
ed and broken nose, his face and
head were cut and bruised After
telling his story Of the attack and
robbery, Constable James Mccain
with the assistance of the other po-
lice became active. The colored men
were traced to this place and along
the road towards South Amboy. The
local officers could not locate them.

at a break-neck speed. Showing re-
markable courage, Mcguire leaped
off the engine while going at full
speed, but was uninjured. The
trestle had had it's supports previous
ly sawed so that it would collapse as
the engine was partially across the
structure.
With the crowd breathless as they
watched the putting engine speed on
the trestle, the camera operators
calmly turned the cranks and as the
engine shot into the focus and on
toward destruction. The intense
speed of the locomotive had not been
fully calculated and it failed to top
pie over the left side, as had been
expected. 1t rushed onward to the
sheer end of the trestle, and just
as it plunged off with a terrifying,
grinding sound, the trestle collapsed
and the cameras had caught one of
the most hair raising stunts" ever
used for moving pictures.
AS the engine and coaches plunged
into the lake a sheet of water fully
twenty feet high rose into the air.
A small tower had been erected near
the end of the trestle on which a
camera operator was stationed. When
the engine failed to rush off the
side of the bridge and came toward
the place where he was stationed,
the operator did not lose his nerve
for an instant, although had the i'll
fated locomotive plunged few feet
further he would have been crushed
to death.

ALLIES DRIVEN
BACK B|CLOSS,
BERLIN CLAIMS

Special 6g UHfted Press HHc.
Berlin, Sept 28-While still
maintaining the position that there
have been no decisive changes at any
part of the 125 miles of battlefield,
reports of the German general staff
today are trifie more optimistic than
anything issued since the battle of
the Aisne began. 1t Is stated there
have been distinct changes by the Ger
man center, which has driven the en-
emy back with heavy losses. The
armies operating through the Ver-
fnnes have succeeded in forcing the
French back on Clermont and at
Mannehould and now hold the main
highways in the railroad lines in that
vicinity.
On the heights of the Meuse the
Germans continue to maintain their
advantage and are in strength on the
west bank of the river. The bonn
bardment of the Meuse forts south
of Verdun, continues with preciptible
success, according to the general
stan. On the German right 1t is
stated that the fighting is of the most
bitter character, with the enemy
plainly throwing all its available
force into the fight in an effort to
get through the German lines. 1t is
officially stated that at no point have
they been successful while at num-
ber of points the Germans have adj
yanced their lines. Attempts on the
part of Belgians to make a success
full sortie from Antwerp have been
frustrated and many prisoners and
an armored car have been taken.

What BLVD Do

Walhalla, Sept. 22.-My Dear
Legislature: | hear you are going to
meet early in October for the pur-
pose of doing some good for the far
mers who have cotton to sell. Well
meet-and borrow enough money to
buy 100000 bales of cotton, which
will be the very best kind Of an in
vestment. 1t will be as good as
bonds.
Next ask and insist on every lady
in South Carolina dressing herself
and family in cotton cloth, asking
her, of course, to make the old
fashioned wide skirt that she can
get her whole body into. Ask her to
have her good husband and sons to
dress in cotton and nothing else for
one year at least, and see what a
wonderful effect it will have on the
cotton market
Next thing | would do would be to
appropriate $4,000 for Pollock and
Jennings to do just what they want to
do with it, for the good work they
did in the last campaign. OF course
you will know and do know what
they did.
The next thing | would do, my
Honorable Sirs, would be to adjourn.
| am, as ever, your true friend,
Billie Fennell.
