Narrow Escape From Death

Last Wednesday forenoon a Ford
car driven by Frank p. Mattera, the
well-known landscape gardener, while
he was attempting to cross the West
Jersey and Seashore railroad tracks at
Garfield avenue, was struck by the
$40 outbound train and almost COM
pletely demolished. Mr.. Mattera
claims that owing to his view of the
tracks being INSTRUCTED by a passenger
coach standing on a siding at the cros-
sing named, he was unable to see the
train until it was almost upon him.
He had been on an errand to Clouting
& Co.'s lumber yard on west Garfield
avenue, and was in the act Of going
from the lumber yard across the rail
FOad to Holly Beach avenu when the
accident occurred. Mr.. Mattera's es-
cape from instant death is considered
miraculous, and only his presence of
mind saved him, when he quickly
swerved his car so as to avoid direct
compact with the locomotive. AS 1t
was his Ford was only sides wiped,
but wrecked all the same.
