VINELAND, N. J., Dec. 26.—A shocking
accident, involving the loss'of three lives,
Occurred at the Cedar avenue crossing of
the South Jersey railroad at this place.
A party consisting of Mrs. William D.
Lewis, her daughter Mary and son John,
aged respectively 16 and 14 years, of East
Vineland, and Mrs. David J. Jones and
her 15-year-old daughter Mary of Bridge-
ton, was returning from church. _Young
Lewis was driving and whipped up the
‘horse in an attempt to cross in front of
the South Jersey express, which was rap-
idly approaching. When in the center of
the track, the horse balked, and the next
instant the train craZshed into the car-
riage, cutting it in two.
Mrs. Lewis, her son and Mary Jones
were instantly killed. Mary Lewis and
Mrs. Jones escaped by jumping from the
rear of the carriage when they realized
their danger. The horse was uninjured.-
=Mrs..Lewis’ body was found in a. trench
100 feet from the crossing, and near by it
lay the corpse of her young son. The
mother’s back had been broken, and the
body was mutilated beyond recognition.
The body of Mary Jones was found ly-
ing on the cowcatchcr after the train had
been stopped a quarter of a mile beyond
the crossing. Mrs. Jones and Mary Lewis
were uninjured. The grade crossing where
the accident happened has always been re-
garded as dangerous.

THE HOLMES, KELLER &
the 17-year-old son of Traffic Superintend-
ent Fauna of the New York Central rail-
road and nephew of Mayor Peene of this
city. was thrown from a carriage while
driving ln'Van Cortlandt park and se-
verely injured. Two sisters and two broth-
ers who accompanied him were nearly
thrown upon a pile of stones, but they es-
caped with a few scratches.
Willie, who is the eldest of the party,
returned home from Providence, where he
attends school, on Saturday for the Christ-
mas holidays and planned a long ride for
yesterday, in which he was to be joined
by his sister Ella, 15 years old; his .brot-h-
er Chester, 12 years, and a younger broth-
er and sister. Willie is an expert driver,
and his father had no fear for the safety
of the children while they were with him.
He drove a spiri ted team of black horses.
and the children were in a light four seat-
ed road wagon. Willie and Chester occu-
pied the front seat, while Ella and the two
little ones sat at the back. .
They left their home in Wargburton ave-
nue, Yonkers, and went south to Wash-
inton bridge. Up to that time the horses
had :behaved well, but when their heads
were turned homeward in Scdgwick avo-
nuc their spirits rose until they .could
hardly be controlled. .
Willie managed to hold them in check,
however, until they reached Boston avo-
nue, where they shied at a passing truck,
and taking the bits between their teeth
dashed ahead at full speed. The roadway
was smooth, and there were no obstruc-
tions, so that there was little immediate
danger if they were kept to the road.
Willie pulled at the reins, with no effect.
Then Chester took one rein and he the
other, but their combined strength was
not sufllcient to check the speed of the ani-
, mals. Reaching a portion of the road
I where there were stones at the side, Willie
. tried to guide the horses upon them, hop-
, in g that the rough surface would bring the
animals to their senses. They refused,
however, to leave the center of the road.
Then they came to a sharp curve, and
. in swinging around one of the rear wheels
of the wagon gave way. Willie was thrown
out of the wagon, but he held to the reins.
Chester called to the other children to hold
tight to the seat.
Willie was dragged 500 feet over the
stones at the side of the road before he re-
leased his hold upon the reins. Then he
was stunned and bleeding from a dozen
wounds. He said afterward he hoped his
weight might stop the animals. '
But they (lashed ahead at still greater
speed and reached Van Certlandt avenue,
through which they ran into the park of
the same name. The four children were
screaming and holding to the seats, and
the horses in the park seemed to lose sight
of the road, for they plunged across the
sidewalk and directly into a pile of rocks,
where they fell.
The children were flung ahead over the

lTHE BROTHERHOOD OF MANKIND.
President Seth Low .Entertains an Opti-
mistic View of Our Social Conditions.
The Workingmen’s Club is an organi~
zation connected with the Episcopal
Church of the Holy Communion, New
York. It has for its main object the
banding together of men for the purpose
of mutual helpfulness. It’s methods
might successfully be adopted in. any
community. During illness every mem-
ber of good standing has a physician
free, and during the first twelve weeks
of such illness he recives $5 weekly.
Should his illness be prolonged from 18 159
24 weeks, he receives 38 a week. In the
event of his death his next of kin receives
as many dollars as there are members in
good standing in the club, and in the
event of his wife’s death he receives as
many half d’ollars as there are members
During the twenty-
two years the club has paid out more
ghan $30,000 in sick and death bene-
ts.
SETH LOW.
At a. recent meeting, President Low, of
Columbia College, said that the relation
of the brain toiler to the hand toiler was
very close. Although it may not always
be admitted, there are few products of
able men’s brains that do not work good
to those who toil with their hands. No
class of people teaches the lesson of fidel-
ity so well as the handicraftsman.
Every railroad train that carries its pas-
sengers in safety to their destination
proves this. Many people are alarmed at
the condition of unrest that seems to pre-
vail. There is no cause for alarm. His-
tory fails to show any condition of unrest
in the life of a nation that did not ulti-
mately tesult in good.
This is era of combinations. These
combinations have wiped out individuals
yet combinations are not a bad force.
They seem so only because we have not
learned how to operate them.
The hostility between combinations
and individuals, between capital and
labor, will settle itself in good time and
in the right way. The ‘spcaker believed
so, because the Divine power which has
brought society from a condition of
slavery to individual equality teaches
that all men are brothers, and that power
will furnish the solution to all social pro- '
blems which will be satisfactory to all.
THE CAT COMES RIGHT SIDE UP.
A Dog That Thought He Had Mastered
the Theory But Hadn’t.
A correspondent of. the New York Her-
ald writes:
I am somewhat interested in the ques-
tion why a cat lights on its feet. To the
untutored mind of an old _farmer this
question, so troublesome to French
scientists, is perfectly simple. The cat,
by a quick muscular movement, more
rapid in its effects upon the body than
the attraction of gravitation, forms a.
fulcrum of its own body, which enables
it to turn and strike upon its feet.
In this connection it may be interesting
for me to relate an amusing scene that I
witnessed when a boy at home upon my
father’s farm. A part of my duties was
to bring the cows from a field in a dis
tant =part of the farm. On these trips
after the cows I was usually accompanied
by a small but fleet footed our dog. On
one occasion the dog came suddenly upon
a fox, and. a race for life immediately
commenced.
The field was new, but little cultivated
and the surface uneven, caused by trees
being uprooted, and after time and dc-
cay had done their work a knoll and cor-
responding depression at the side were
left in the surface. Across one of these
the fox ran, the dog but a jumpjbahind.
'As I was about to realize the height of
a boy’s ambition by seeing the dog at the
next bound leap upon the back of the fox
the scene suddenly changed.
The dog, with eyes intently fixed upon
the object of his pursuit, failing to ob-
serve the lay of the land, turned a half
somerset over the knoll, landing on his
feet in the depression beyond, and not
realizing that he had changed ends con-
tinued the race for several rods, not how-
ever, in the direction of the fox, but the
other way.
Not long since I related this story to a
party of gentlemen, and I was at once
voted “the cake” for having told the big-
gest yarn. And as an evidence that it
was a yarn, the argument was used that
the dog must have landed» on his back.
But no. He simply did the cat act, struck
upon his feet, and his body being rc-
versed ran directly away from the
fox.
Boston's Cultured Cabman. '
A. Conan Doyle was astonished when a
Boston cabman told him “he would
rather have a ticket to his lecture than
the fare.” He thought he was travelling
incognito and asked the man how he
found him out. The man replied that
“he knew him as a member of the Cab-
man’s Literary Guild, to which the lac
turer’s itinerary had been telegraphed
in advance, and that he recogNnized Dr.
Doyle to be the man, because his coat
lapels had been evidently grasped by N ew
Yprk reporters, his hair manifestly cut
by a Philadelphia barber, his hat seem-
ingly saved with difliculty from the pi-
rates by whom he was surrounded at a
Chicago luncheon, awhile his overshoel
bore traces of Buffalo mud and there was
an Odor of a Utica cigar upon his person.”
The doctor surrended at indiscretion, and
gave to the fellow a ticket for his whole
family. ‘
