A GRIEF-STRICKEN CITY

Perth Amboy is grief-stricken today. Words

! here late yesterday afternoon. Seven Of Perth
Amboy's faithful sons, responding to the call
of duty in the service of their city, were sud-
denly buried into eternity when the apparatus
on which they were riding crashed into an
rkpress train at the Market street crossing.
There have been many distressing accidents
10 this vicinity. but none has ever so shocked
the community as the awful catastrophe of
yesterday afternoon. The whole city responded
as a man to the appeal that such a horror in
voluntarily makes to the human heart. There

To have such a calamity as yesterdays be-
