Four persons, three men and a worn- ' W ere* killed when a motor car in which they were riding crashed into a ; Height traiu at Palermo, X. J., a few miles sooth of Ocrau City eatrly Wednesday morning. The dead, all o: whom' ii\ iil in Ne-w York, are: Dr. Matthew S. Borden, wm of JL Q ( nil, owner of Fail River, Mane J. llarvev Wood, a friend. JEja. Wood. Leo Gulfreund, .Dr." Borden's ehaufRyan, another member of the motor party, was badly injured and ia now under a physicians care Ht an ; Ocean City IloteL The bodies, which Were qjj haillv mangled, were taken in charge .b.v Oorouer Lake, of Oeean City. . ■ Borden's body was completely dia- , uiembered. Dr. Borden and his jiarty left" New i ork yesterday afternoon for Cape May. They stopped Lakewood for dinner last night and later in the eve- , ning startnl on a moonlight run down the oeean boulevard ' route for Cape , May. Tlie accident occurred just about ■lawn Wednesday, 'and it ia supposed that tlie dimness prevented tlie oeeupants from seeing the train until they w erq_ upon it. Dr. Borden was driving tlie ear with Gulfreund, the chauffeur, beside him. Ii^the In n uin u were Mr .and Mrs. Wood and Mr. Ryan. The motor was speeding at from thirty-five to forty miles an hour at the time of the accident and the train was going about- half that *ast. Mr. Wood was the first to note that tin' train was in front of them and , -limited a warning. Dr. Borden had Bo . time to stop the machine, however, and the car struck the locomotive just be. | tween Jlie driving wheels. J Dr. Borden was literally torn to , j pieces by the foree of tin- iinpaet His , J head was torn from lim- lx.rly and was , j found some distance! away from his torj so His legs and arms Were -also dismembered. Mr. and Mr*. Wood had I clasped each other when the impact ieauie. ami were found dead but still in Jeach other's embrace. some distance . from the wreckage. Gulfreund was still [ j breathing when the train crew reached his side but he died a few minutes , later. Mr. Ryan was unconscious, but ;j recovered after being taken to Oeean r i City, and there told the details of the . accident. , Matthew (". D. Borden, father of the . di-ad man. was a former Park Commissioner of New York. When he died, a ■ couple of years ago, his fortune was estimated at about *7.000,000. Dr. Borden, however, was cut off in his father's will because of his marriage to a . Miss Mildred Negbauer. the daughter of . a New Haven tailor, with whom he fell I in love and married in 1802 while ho [ was a student at Yale. He was never . reconciled with his family after the L marriage. Subsequently Jie was divorced from his wife, but Uter tliey re- ~ married. His relatives made a settle, ment •with him to prevent a contest •. over the terms of the will. Dr. Borden figured in another automobile accident only last July when ho ran down and killed a mounted policeman named John Mee. at Flushing, f Long Island. He was then as on Wed- •_ nesday, driving in the early morning. He saw the policeman in the road too late to stop his car and tried to turn to the side but struck h telegraph pole - and rebounded against the policeman, crushing him 4o death. Mr. Wood, another victim of the accident. was head of the New York Urban Real Estate Company. He was from Bristol. Vs. His wife before her marriage in HMO was a Miss Clarke, of Brooklyn.
