Nobody knew of the accident unUI James Hawn, walking down the track, discovered Douglas in the debris. He turned- the lad on his back. Douglas groaned, turned back again on his face and died almost immediately. A hole in his skull, evidently made by some bolt or projec. lion about the engine, had caused his death. Douglas was driven to the home of Mr. George McNeal, of Erma, when he met death. . It is supposed that he was not espedling any train since the regulars were not due. He w as a pupil of -the ape May High School, and was very popular with teachers and fellow-pupils. Coroner Ladte will bold an inquest and summon the train crew today. It is regarded as very singular Uiat none of them knew of the crash. The funeral -will occur to-morrow afternoon at two o’clock, from the Celd Spring Piediylerian Church, and the Rev.' E- A.

Proposed South Jersey Waterway

rom Newark Star.

According to figures tabulated by the State Geologist, the entire cost of a navigable inland w aterway from Bay Head to Cape May, w ith a depth of feet, would be about half a million dollars. An appropriation ot $100,009 lo begin the work will be asked of the Legislature- It would cost half a million dollar* to equip all the election dixtricts of the -State with voting machines, and that amount will have to be spent If the voting machine shall be retained. If the $200,000 that has been squandered by the Legislature on this Job had been saved it would pay nearly half of the cost of a great Improment that, once made, will be of incalculable value to the state. A waterway U6j mile* long, connecting all the livers and bays on the southron coast; and leas than ten feet depth should not be considered, would in five or ten years pay for itself many times over in the increase of property value and in addition* to the population. It would immensely stimulate enterprise at the seaside resorts and bring under cultivation many thousands of acres of Ignd that are now worthless for agriculture and are innooasslble. The project 1* essentially

A special dispatch to The Baltimore Hun from Wilmington, Del., Haturdi y night, says : . was staled here today that the establishment is projected of a m » learner and railroad line from Bal inere and Washington to points in New Jersey by the way of the Deiaand Maryland Peninsula. The plan involves the expenditure of veral millions. “The fact that the ulilizaUon of the Pennsylvania Railroad lines on the nsula is mentioned adds to the f that the Pennsylvania has some oonnecUon with it. “It is proposed loeatablisha steamer service on lh« Chesapeake Bay and Potomac and Patansoo rivers, with a terminus at either Cenlrevilie or Oxford, Md. The roule would then be across the Peninsula on either the Queen Anne or Delaw are and Chesapeake roads to Clayton, continuing by a new line to Woodland Beach, on the Delaware Bay, where a ferry will run ;o New- Jersey. Railroads would then convey passengers to Cape May, Atlantic City and other places. “It is understood the scheme is an outcome of extensive harbor imporvemenls now being made at Cape May, the Government naving appropriated ft,209,000 for the work. A number of tears ago the late Jay Gould established a similar railroad and steamer tine from the South across the Penin“The tracks of this line from Clayton to Woodland Beach were removed some time ago. The route still remains, however."

FIRE BURNS PAINT PUNT One of the most spectacular fires wituessed in Camden in years almost cotally destroyed the large paint and varnish plant of N. Z. Graves A Co., at Twelfth and Penn streets, Monday, causing* loss estimated at $300,000. Numerous dwellings near-by were also severely damaged and were only saved from destruction by the valiant work of the firemen. The fire started with an explosion, and the flames, fed by the highly combustible materials stored in the works, shot up fully 100 feet above the building. As each vat of paint exploded they seemed to mount higher and higher toward the sky. The immense longue of Ore, illumined against a dense cloud of black smoke, was plainly visible from Twelfth and Market streets, Philadelphia, while the heavy volumeof smoke itself curtain*! the Jersey shore for more than half a mile. There were more than one hundred explosions, the detonations resembling a bombardment by artillery, aa the fire swept from val to vat of paint
