NORTHFIELD FARMER
COLLIDES WITH TROLLEY.

Jay Duberson, a Mortified farmer,
is in the Atlantic City Hospital in a
serious condition as the result of being
thrown headfirst over the windshield
of his automobile when the latter COL
lided head-on with a Shore Fast Line
trolley car at the Bakersville station
late Saturday afternoon. Duberson
has conclusion of the brain and a dis
located collar bone.
His daughter Anna, II years old,
who was in the automobile with him
at the. time. was also thrown from the
side of the machine. She rolled over
several times on the road. picked her
self up and then ran off to her home
nearby. She was not even bruised.
The accident occurred at 5.35 p. m.
Duberson and his daumhter were re-
turning home from Mays Landing,
travelling at a moderate rate of speed
along the road which crosses the
Shore Fast Line at the Bakersville
station. where the trollevs do not stop,
except upon signal. The trolley con-
ductor and motorman say the trolley
whistle was blown, and several per-
sons who witnessed the accident cor
roborate their statements. Duberson
evidently failed to hear it, for he did
not throw on his brakes as he ap-
preached the crossing, and his ma
chine crashed into the side of the troll
ley car directly at the centre of the
road.

farm.

The Burnses caves a fine sketch, and
the Highland Band played national

how well they played, the more remar-
kable as the band is newly organized
and some merely boys. The hit of the
evening was the remarkable exhibit of
the Absecon Highland School and ex-
planned by the schoolmaster, who de-
serves great credit for the work ac-
complished by this small district
school. The next meeting of the Po-
mona Grange is July 9th at Mays

nizing a Sunday School for the High

Mrs. Ballinger, Miss Annie Louder,
Miss Evelyn Lear and brother. Eas-
ter presents were given the children.
Next Sunday they meet at Highland
school hall, 9th and Magnolia avenues,

Absecon Highlands is getting to be

ing at present 9 cars, with prospects
of more to follow.
