TRAIN HITS TRUCK.

Following closely on the hearing OF
railroad men for running fast trains
through the city in violation of a city
ordinance, there was another accident
on Friday afternoon about six o'clock.
This time the accident was at the
Main street crossing, and fortunately
no one was injured. A truck belong
ing to Edward Goehler had Just cross
ed the tracks, but a concrete mixer
which was on a trailer TO the truck
was struck and demolished BY a train.
The gates had not been lowered to
warn the driver, and the gate tender
said afterwards that the signal bell
to give notice OF the approach Of
trains was not working at the time.
The train halted just above the
crossing and it was found that the
engine had also been considerably
damaged by the collision. The engi-
neer made temporary repairs and the
train proceeded OF its way to Camden
after a short delay.

HAS
NAMED H|NKLE
Bitter fractional Fight Over APP
pointment of Assistant Prose-
cutor Has Ended.
SELECTION WAS APPROVED

Prosecutor Louis A. Repetto has
ended the bitter factional fight which
was Waged for some time over the
appointment of an Assistant Prosecu-
tor Of the Pleas. He terminated the
strife which had racked the Demo-
cratic forces, by appointing TO the po-
sition his life long friend and well
qualified lawyer, S. Cameron Hinkle.
The appointment instantly met with
favor from both sides. Judge Smath-
ers, who had opposed some of the
candidates named, was satisfied with
Hinkle, and Edison Hedges, who had
been Smathers' personal choice for
the post, expressed himself as well
pleased at the selection made by
Prosecutor Repetto. OF course Judge
Repetto's friends were all pleased
when Hinkle was chosen.
The new Assistant Prosecutor does
not come to the Office a stranger to
its duties as he very ably filled that
position once before in Atlantic Coun-
ty, back in the days Of Captain Sam
uel E. Perry. He will be remembered
by those who had business at court in
those days as a very able representa-
tive OF the State in matters criminal.
The names of Sam" Perry and Cam"
Hinkle struck terror to many a crimi-
nal in the days of the early COS. They
conducted many cases that were in
the celebrated class. The record of
these two lawyers may have been
equalled since, but they have not been
excelled.
With Repetto and Hinkle represent
ing the State now, all are assured of
speedy justice being melted out to Of
tenders against the law. The guilty
will get their just deserts and the in
nocently accused will be assured of
fair and impartial treatment at their
hands as their cases are disposed of.
Prosecutor Edmund c. Gaskill, Jr.,
just retired, and his assistant, Her
bert R. Voorhees,, made an excellent
record while in the Office, and in re-
firing they are leaving the important
work in hands that are sure to keep
up the excellent record they main

MAYOR HEARS
RAILROAD CASE
Violation of Speed Limit Ordi-
nance Brings Sentence of 5000
Fine for Company.
EMPLOYEES FINE RENTED

The long looked for trial of the
Atlantic City Railroad and-its en-
ployees for running trains through
the city at a rate OF speed exceeding
twelve miles an hour, in violation OF
a recently enacted ordinance, was
held at the City Hall last Friday af-
%ternoon, with Mayor Charles E. jack
son presiding. The complaint was
made by Chief of Police Robert Mar
shall, who testified to the fact that a
certain afternoon train had run
through the city at a speed in excess
of that allowed under the law.
There were three defendants in
court, the Atlantic City Railroad, by
Superintendent Lewis; engineer Stew
Mood. They were represented by
Walter Hanstein, of the firm of
Thompson & Hanstein, who entered a
plea OF not guilty to the complaint.
When the complaint was read and
"a plea asked for, Hanstein made a
motion that the charges be dismissed,
on the grounds that the ordinance IN
der which the complaint was made
was illegal and unconstitutional. This
motion was denied by Mayor Jackson.
City Solicitor Louis D. Champion APP
peared for the city and called Chief
Marshall, who was the only witness
examined. There was no defense Of
fered, and Solicitor Champion then
asked that the maximum fine be i'm
posed. Mayor Jackson announced
that he would fine the Atlantic City
Railroad Company the sum of 5000
and would remit the fine on the engi-
neer and conductor of the train be-
cause they were simply carrying out
orders of their %superiors, in making
the excessive speed.
This case was in the nature of a
test for the new ordinance, and mat
tiers will now probably be allowed TO
rest until an appeal has been taken
by the railroad from the conviction,
and the decision of the higher court
rendered as to the validity of the ordi-
nance under which the fine vas levied.
