iifa was snurred out, and another was
m~iraculously saved from death or SER
ious injury in front of the Pennsyl-
\ Vania station at 7.15 o'clock last night,
when two brothers attempted to cross
over the tracks. instead of going
around the walk and under the tracks
at Main street
| Carl Larsen, of Hyson, N. J., eigh-
teen years of age had stepped from
the station platform and endeavored
10 jump the fence, to reach the wait
ing room for west bound trains, Just
as an o~nrushing east bound train
came along. He chung to the fence
and was uninjured, though the back
OF his coat bore marks from the pass
ing train.
Peter Larsen seventeen. who was
just a few feet behind his brother
when an attempt was made to cross
the tracks, stepped directly In front
of the train and was instantly killed
his body being thrown about one hun
dred feet.
At the point where the accident
occurred the our tracks of the rail-
road are separated by iron fences.
The crossing there is protected by
gates which are for the use of rail-
road employees only, and passengers
are expected to pass under the tracks
at Main street.
h W young men, whose home
is about four miles south of Lake
wood, were employed at the Cottage
Club at Princeton University, and
were returning to Princeton after a
day spent with friends in Matawan.
They had travelled from Perth Am

had purchased tickets for the 8:04
~westbound train.
Coroner William +. Harding, OF
New Brunswick, was notified and
Immediately came here and viewed
the body and permitted it's removal
to the undertaking establishment Of
Petit & Hillpot.
All Information as to what train
had hit the boy, or whether or not it
had stopped, was refused by the
agent on duty at the station. These
details could not be obtained from
the coroner or the police, but will be
available after a further investigation

Many Still Read Dickens.

Charles Dickens has been ruled out
by a class OF the younger literary
critics as o decided back number, but
the statement by his British publishers
that during the past three years the

OF Dickens novels sell more than 6O,-

forty-eight years. His sales during the
