DANGEROUS ANTICS. A Man Struck by a Train While Dau- ciug on the Rails. TRENTON, Dec. E. Nixon, milk dealer, of this city, began to dance a regular old-fashioned negro clog in the very jaws of death yesterday afternoon, and he now lies in a hospital unconscious and may die.
Nixon stood near a railroad crossing, watching some laborers at work. When he saw a train midway on the Delaware bridge, coming at a speed of thirty miles an hour, he suddenly darted under the guard gates, and facing the approaching engine, began to dance. Foreman Courtney, of the gang of laborers, and the flagman made an effort to drive Nixon from his purpose, but the engine was too close. Nixon was evidently bent on committing suicide. He was thrown about fifteen feet into a ditch.
Letter From Ocean City. OUR CITY BY THE SEA, Dec. We are usually quiet here after the excitement and strain of the Summer season until after the holidays, when preparations for the coming year are usually commenced. But this year is an exception. New buildings and improvements seen in every direction.
Rev. sire Boyle has underroofed 8 large Central boarding streets. cottage The at foundations Eighth and for a fifty-roomed house are up at Ninth and Wesley. This building will be similar to the Lafayette at Thirteenth and Central, with ten rooms greater capacity. Mr.

The company that bought the head of the beach will have the thirty cottages which are part of their contract completed by July the first, each house to cost not less than $1,000, The Trenton Co. contemplate the erection of a number of cottages on the lower end of the island.
Ocean City came out of the September storm of a year ago in good condition for those who want a safe summer home by the sea. It is a special favorite with Camden people. Of the new cottages at the head of the beach, at least four are to be occupied by prominent Camden families. Revival services are now in progress under the Rev. Mr.
Massey, pastor of the local church. Several conversions are reported. He is assisted by the Rev. Socrates Townsend. The new church is well under way at Eighth and Central streets and promises to be a fine structure.
It will be dedicated during the coming summer. Mr. William Thegen and wife were here for a few days removing their furniture from their cottage at Fourth and Central, having sold it. Mr. Thegen will erect a handsome cottage at the head of the beach.

WHAT SPORTSMEN WANT. But Possibly taw Observance is More Wanted Than More Laws. Sportsmen in this and other cotinties in this section of the State favor a law prohibiting the wholesale slaughter of game, such as rabbits and quail during the snow falls. While the recent snow lay on the ground, thousands of rabbits were killed by pot hunters for market, in the woods of South Jersey. Not only were rabbits the victims by wholesale of the market shooter's gun, but quail in like numbers were killed shipped to the Philadelphia marKet." The pot hunters follow up the game through the snow and invariably, with their experienced eye, capture the cotton tail squatter under the brush heaps under vacated hous outbuildings and hen coops.
Bunny is not given a chance for hislife, but the market gunner bangs away with unerring aim at the poor creature's nose, and only the end of his head is shot away leaving the edible part of the perfectly sound as though captured in a trap. One man near Williamstown, on Tuesday last, slaughtered nineteen rabbits in this way for which got thirty cents a pair or $9.85 for his day's slaughter. Others in the lower section of county killed rabbits in almost as great numbers, and at least two thousand rabbits were killed in this county alone on that day, and almost as many were killed in the other counties under the jurisdiction of the West Jersey Game Protective Society. Not only is the gamey rabbit killed wholesale by these pot hunters, but quail are followed up in the snow if they have left their roosting place, and killed in like manner. If the bob white has not his roost he and his mates, to the a dozen or so, -unless Judge Wescott and Jack Brewer have been in the covey--seek a green laurel bush or some pine branches.
The birds sit on the ground in' a circle with their tails all together, and one discharge from the big bore gun slaughters the entire "bunch of birds," exterminated and shipped to market. Frequently quail find a haven in the farmer's chicken yard or barn yard where the sun shines on them, but woe unto them if they seek shelter in the yard of one of these pot hunters. On Monday night last while the storm was one of these pot hunters in Atlantic county was going to his home through a clump of woods in which he had been working. In an old charcoal burner's vacated cabin he heard a covey of quail making their peculiar, soft noise as they were going roost, having sought shelter in the dilapidated cabin. Early Tuesday morning the pot hunter was on the scene with his blunderbuss, and as the quail began leaving the cabin, he blazed away, it is that after a of snow killing almost the entire flock.
Thus storms the guuning is so, poor. True, birds perish in the cold where they' are not fed by the farmers, but this is only a small per centagetaken in comparison with those slaughtered by pot hunters. 1 HE WATCH REVERTED. A Disputed Point in a Love Case Before the Mayor. James Robinson and Alice Smith, a respectable looking colored couple, appealed to Mayor Pratt last night for advice in, to them, a very important business transaction.
The dispute was over a gold watch, which Miss Smith desired to possess. She claimed that she had been prived of it through Robinson, who had proven false. Robinson explained his side of the story by saying that he had made an offer of marriage to the woman in a regular business way. He had offered the watch to the woman providing nothing happened to stop their wedding. Should he do anything that would warrant her breaking the agreement she was to have the watch.
Shortly afterward he said ran away with another man, and consequently when she returned he thought the watch contract broken. The Mayor decided the question was one that involved many intricate points, including some love points, and consequently he advised them to think the matter over together for a day or two to give him time to straighten the tangle.

Freight Cars Derailed Through Misplaced Switch. The Signal Man Said to Have Made a Mistake. A terrible wreck occurred early this morning at the junction of the West Jorsey and Atlantic City Railroads, caused by a misplaced switch. The engine and five were thrown off the track and several more piled upon one another; merchandise was scattered in all directions. The train wrecked was the 2.15 a m.
southbound Salem freight, composed of twenty-six cars, with Engine No 33, in charge Engineer John Griner, Fireman Steve Rogers, Conductor Samuel Leap, Brakemen Chas. Wolf, John Welsh, Wm. McIlvaine. Conductor Leap was riding on the engine at the time of the accident and when the engine was thrown from the track, jumped and was killed. His body was found under one of the cars which been thrown forward along aide, of the engine literally pieces, hardly a piece being recognizable.
At a later hour one of employes found part of of his legs encased in a rubber boot. fie. Officers Thomas, Laird Leitenberger first outsiders to arrive at the scene. Word was sent to Constable Beckett to notify Coroner Jefferis. On his arrival he at once took charge of the remains and began an investigation.
He made inquiries as to where the signal man, Chris A. Norpel, was, and saw him running up the railroad towards Broadway. The Coroner and Constable Beckett went in pursuit, but were unable to overtake him. They found that he resided at Gloucester, but on arriving at his residence, on Ridgeway street near Burlington, they were informed that he was not at home, his wife stating that he had not yet arrived. They then returned to the scene of the accident, where the Coroner empaneled the following jury Foreman, John Davis, George Cattell, Samuel Shields, Philip North, Charles Lassy, Chalkley Charles Bitner, Thomas Jackson, Stacy Ogden, David Hess.
William Horneff and Frederick Pooley, who viewed the wreck and remains. The inquest will be held at the Court House on Monday, at 10 o'clock. It was stated by several persons that they heard the engine whistle blowing for some minutes for the signalman to give them the right of way before the accident occurred. reporter interviwed John A. Norple, a brother to Christopher, the signalman who caused the accident, and he stated that his brother was lying down on a bench alongside of the handles which are used for changing the switches, and signaling the train, and on hearing a continuous whistle blowing, rising up suddenly, thought was the Atlantic City freight.
He pulled No. 4 lever instead of No. 3, which caused the accident. At the time of the accident the Salem freight was running at the rate of sixteen miles an hour, and on account of the long train it was impossible for engineer to in time to avert an accident. The engine was thrown over on her side, half buried on the embankment side of the track.
Engineer Griner pluckily stood at his post until the steam was all shut off, and then, with the fireman, put out the fire by throwing dirt into furnace. He then started towards the signal tower to find Norple, and while he was trying to gain an entrance, it is supposed that Norple was so frightened, and fearing bodily harm, jumped from the second story window escaped up the railroad in his shirt sleeves and without his shoes, when Coroner Jefferis started in pursuit. Conductor Leap, who was killed, is a married man and resided on Berkley street below Fifth, this city. He leaves a widow and six children, The remains will be given to Undertaker J. V.
Middleton for burial. The probable loss to the railroad company, of will exceed $5,000, The both companies are badly torn up. The rails near the signal house are SO badly twisted that they are useless. The company soon had a large force of men at the scene to clear the tracks, although travel was not impeded to any extent, there being a double track, and before night there will not be a vestige of the wreck left. Christopher Norple, the swithtender, visited the West Jersey Railroad office before noon and had an interview with Super intendent Dayton.
Norple did not affirm or deny that he was asleep, but Sup't Dayton thinks it possible that such was case The tracks and signals of the West Jersey Railroad showed that everything was safe. Engineer Griner blew his whistle for the crossing, thus suddenly awakening who jumped up, and turned the interlocking switch, throwing the train from the track. Mr. Dayton says that both of the men employed at this tower were picked out from among their employees as being faithful in every respect. The railroads of the country spend thousands of dollars to perfect means of safety but have after all, to depend on human agencies, and while the mechanical device may never fail, still the human is liable to do 80 at any time.
Norple feels the grave responsibility in which he has placed himself, and while he is willing to remain and meet it, he thought best this morning to keep out of the way for fear of meeting bodily harm. He has merely reported but the official investigation will take place to-morrow. I Worms in children worry and frethem, the attending symptoms simu lating many different diseases.
