TRAMP GROUND TO PIECES
BY READING FLYER.

Running directly in the path of a
Reading flyer dashing through Pleas
antville at a mile a minute clip Thurs
day afternoon, an unknown man was
literally ground to pieces, the entire
train passing over his body before it
was brought to a stop. Placed aboard
the train, the mangled remains were
taken to Atlantic City, where a search
of the clothing failed to disclose the
slightest clue that might lead to the
mans identity.
From railway employees it was
learned that the victim of the acct
dent had been seen lettering about
the Reading yards before a freight
train pulled out for Philadelphia ear
ly in the afternoon. He was put off
the train by a brakeman, but caught
it as it was leaving the yards. To
avoid detection he kept in hiding
along a sidetrack when the train
stopped at Pleasantville, and ran out
to catch the train as it again started
when the express leaving Camden at
2 o'clock rushed down upon him.
Many passengers saw the mans dis.
membered body as the train whirled
over it, and several women, sickened
at the sight, required assistance In
leaving the train after it drew into
the Reading station at Atlantic City.

POSTAL RECEIPTS FALL
BELOW DESIRED GOAL
Six Hundred Dollars Additional
Would Have Brought the
Full City Mail Delivery

Had it not been for a fall down
during the first quarter of the year
ending June 80, the receipts of the
Pleasantville postoffice would have
exceeded the $4,000 mark and now
we would have been in position to
make application for the complete
city mail delivery service. But as it
is, we will have to be content with
the present system for a while long
err, at least. The postal receipts for
the year totaled ~$9,409.84, a much
larger figure than for several years
past. There are still a number of
our prominent citizens who never buy
a stamp at the local office. If they
would only realize how their patron
age would help Pleasantville, the goal
would be easy. By a united effort,
this year should show a handsome
margin above the coveted mark.
The figures of the Money Order
business, which are kept separate, are
astounding. The total number Of do
nestle issued was 6199, amounting
to S36,801.39, with fees Of $338.70.
Total number of International issued,
294, amount $4,966.35; fees, $50.
Grand total issued, 6493; total am
cunt, Sal, 767.74; total fees, $397.70.
There were paid 1884 domestic orders
amounting to $38,805.53, and "a In
ternational, amounting to $4,000.
Grand total paid, 1928; total amount,
$~39,431.62. The total transactions of
the local p~ostoffice for the year am
ounted to the %stupendous sum of $751;,
006.90
On July first all the clerks in the
postoffice were advanced a grade
higher, carrying an increase in salary
to each one. Now Frank Reitmeyer
and Miss Olive Schmidt receive $1,000
per year each, and Joseph lngersoll
5000 per year.
There has been erected at the Read
ing station in Pleasantville a mail
catcher, and beginning this week a
mail is dispatched to Philadelphia
and other points on the express pass
ing through here at Z minutes past
u o'clock noon, and a mail from At
lantic City is received at the same
time. The train makes no stop, and
the name in which the bag is taken
is interesting to see. This additional
service should be a great boon to our
business men. The mail closes at
1915 a. M, and any letter in the
pouch for Philadelphia reaches its
destination in ample time for the
sender to receive a reply the same
day should its Importance require it.

ABOUT LEGS BY DOG

Howard Meeks and William Comedy,
boys about fourteen years of age,
were bitten about the legs Tuesday
evening by a dog belonging to the

jured.' Again the Importance of re-
ducing the number of worthless ours

in the city, while 30 or more unlicens-
ed dogs have been captured by the
doc catcher this week. Mr.. Wagner
certainly is on the job and is fulfilling
his duty without exhibiting partialitv
