BOY O NEWS.

~Pleasantville Boy Scouts arrived
home Tuesday afternoon, tired but
happy, after their experience in camp
under canvas for two weeks. The
boys voted Camp Fralinger a great
success, and were greatly benefited by
the Scout schools conducted by COM
petent men; also by the different lee
lures, hikes, nature study periods,
night camp fires, night shows, min
strels, and other forms of night diver
sion.
They brought home in all seventy
two different kinds of leaves from ma
tive trees of the Pennsylvania hills;
also snake skins, turtles, frogs and
different species of rock. One snake
that was killed-a water adder-was
ifty-nine inches long and had thirty
five baby snakes.
The two trips, m to Valley Forge,
the shrine of the American people,
was very interesting to the boys;
also the trips to Allentown and Beth
lehem.
The ~Pleasantville troop was always
on the job; first in line for s%etting-up
exercises, drill, parade, and were
given special mention by the captain
of the guard for the fine work they
did while on guard duty. The boys
were commended by the chief for their
kitchen police duty.
The Scouts that participated at
Camp Fralinger and the Scoutmaster
wish to thank the citizens of Pleas
antville for their kindly subscriptions
to the camp fund, that enabled SO
many boys to go, as P~leasantville
troop was the largest one in camp.

Prof. E. ID. Riley in
Crossing Accident.
Miraculously Escapes Death When
Car He Is Driving Is Wrecked BY
West Jersey Train.
OVERLAND COUPE is
COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED.

Professor E. d. Riley, Absecon, one
of the best known men in Atlantic
County, had a miraculous escape
from death last Saturday afternoon
when an Overland coupe which he
was driving was struck by a West
Jersey electric train at the New Road
crossing, and the car almost com
pletely demolished. The noise of the
crash was heard for a great distance
as the train ground its way through
the automobile. Several persons
from the immediate neighborhood,
and passengers and train crew rush
ed to the scene, and were greatly re-
lieved to find Prof. Riley sitting up
right in the ruins. His fist question
to his rescuers was, Am cut
much?"
Observation showed that Professor
Riley mad received several small cuts
on the head and neck from particles
of flying glass and upon an examina-
ton by a local physician it developed
that while no bones had been broken
vet many of the muscles of the body
had been severely strained and there
was a suffering due to the great
shock. At the Professors home it
was said that he would have to keep
to his bed for a couple of weeks to
overcome the severe strain his mus
cles had received. Otherwise he was
none the worse for the accident.
Those who were nearby the scene
say it was almost a mirarle that he
was not killed outright.
Professor Riley is one of the best
known men in Atlantic County. For
many years he taught school at Mays
Landing and later retired and pur-
chased a fine tract of woodland at
the junction of Church street and
Pitney road, in Absecon. He occu-
pies a bungalow at the corner and
his son, William B. Riley, a real es-
tate man of Atlantic City, also has a
bungalow on an adjoining lot. Pro
