PASSENGER ENGINE DERAILED

Last Monday morning, Pennsylvania
engine No. 5000, bringing mail train
due at Wildwood avenue station at
S.58, arrived on time; but it did not
get away from this locality until two
hours later. Scarcely had the engi-
neer opened his throttle and the big
machine had plunged forward about 20
feet, when the four pony wheels
jumped the track, causing this giant
flyer in a few seconds of time to be
as absolutely helpless as a newborn
babe. 1t did not take long for a crowd
of men to gather and all sorts of
plans were proposed to remount the
guide wheels on the iron tracks
again. The derailing had been the re-
suit of ice and dirt lodged in a frog
of the switch at this point-just a few
feet south of the Oak avenue crossing.
One locker on was heard to remark
hat there were mot enough men in
Wildwood to raise the front end of that
engine and put the pony wheels back
on the rails again" He must have
been right in making that assertion,
for the engineer on the morning ex-
press 10.35), C. W. Steelman, of Cam
den, said this type of engine &c. p
with the trailer truck, weighs 1876, 900
pounds, or 971a tons. No derrick or
no wrecking crew was needed. The
engine of the express train was simply
hooked up to the derailed train and
by reversing this engine the wrecked
pony truck of the forward locomotive
was pulled back on the tracks again
with ease, aided, of course, by the
necessary blocking.
Engine 5000, after bringing in the
S.5S mail train, takes out again the
9.38 local for Millville, to connect with
the electric line there for Philadelphia,
but on account of the accident last
Monday, the 9.3S train, outbound, was
annulled for that day.

CAPE MAY COUNTY MEN ADDRESS
LUMBER CONVENTION

Modern merchandising methods, in
Guiding extensive advertising, are es-
sential for success in the retail lumber
business, in the opinion of j. A. Mahl-
stedt, president of the Northwestern
Retail Lumbermen's Association. He
spoke last week at the convention of
the Pennsylvania Lumbermen's Asso-
citation at the Bellevue-Stratford.
Every room of the Office in his con-
Germ in New Rochelle, N. Y, has a
floor of wood different than hat of any
other room in the building. They are
fitted with a corresponding variety of
doors, trim and w~ainscoting. Mr..
Mahlstedt thus is able to demonstrate
the actual appearance OF lumber in the
finished building. He also issues an
'unbFeakable" guarantee with all
sales. Remarkably few customers have
demanded refunds because of it, Mr..
Mahlstedt said.
His Office keeps records of all newly
married couples and ~circularizes them

GAS IN THE POST OFFICE

Eyes, it's gas; but we don't know
where it comes!'. This is the infor-
nation conveyed on a typewriter
slip of bond paper, carefully protected
under the glass slab at the stamp
window. So many inquiries had been
made as to the nature and cause of
the escaping gas in the post office
building that it was found necessary
to post the notice above quoted. The
employees there have been greatly an
noyed for sometime by the disagree
able odor and are praying devoutly for
relief from the nauseating effects ex-
~perienced. The Gas Company was
notified and an inspector was put on
the trail of the escaping elusive gas;
but he was unable to run it down.
Someone who was appealed to for
succor suggested that it was a case
for Ingersoll, meaning in his capacity
as health officer. If he be put on the
trail, there1l be something doing, for
he is always prompt to act when he
gets his cue.

Wildwood and other resorts must envy
you. But wildwood is steadily pro-
crossing. We had a great building
season, and now we are going after
more business with a community plan
of advertising that is through having
an appropriation inserted in the tax
budget and a generous fund raised for
use in spreading knowledge of the at
fractions and the climate of Wildwood.
1t is a way we think should be adopted
because it would have all property
owners share in the expense as well
as the benefits that will surely come
from a campaign of the kind. We have
confidence in Wildwood and it has
been growing rapidly"
