The train was a special and consisted of an engine and one car. At the point at which the collision occurred there is a •harp curve in the road, and the omnibus came along at a good rate of speed, the opcupants being unconscious of any impending danger. As the bus swung around the curve the engine and car came in sight. It was too late to stop either the omnibus or the train, and as the driver of the former whipped up the four horses to cross the track ahead ot the train the latter crashed into its middle. The occupants were thrown in all directions, bruised and bleeding. The 11 dead were killed outright. Physicians and a special train were sent for, and the injured were taken to South Bethlehem.At Tenafly, N.

All amendments to the penal code go into tffect Sept- i instead of immediately after they have been signed by the governor. One of the amendments to the penal code, which is of a very important nature, is punishing kidnaping by imprisonment for life. At present the maximum sentence is 17 years, and in each instance where a kidnaper has been sentenced regrets have been expressed by the court that the sentence could not be made more severe. After Sept. 1 the only punishment that eau be meted out is Imprisonment for life, as the court cannot use its own discretion or discriminate in favor of any person found guilty of this dastardly crime. After Sept. 1 all firms who are not incorporated and do business under a name will have to file a certificate with the county clerk showing who is the responsible party in the firm.

But there wan always some busybody around who wanted the matter of kissing regulated by law, so the legislature has been called upon more than once in different states to considy the subject.
