Qc
James Smith, Jr., was born in Newark, .
N. J., and was educated at private schools th
in his native city up to the time he went to h_
college at Wilmington, Del. After graduat- .
tag he located in'New York in the dry goods _
basin ess, his father having been in thitfline
for many years in the same city. Ha did
not like the business, however, and soon re- '
turned to Newark, where he engaged in the "
manufacturing of patent and enamelled los
leather. To-day he is the sole owner of the 03
largest concern in that line of bu&i- J
nms in the country. Smith's first en
office was that of Councilman, fai
having been elected in 1B83, when di<
the Council was a tie. The ward be ran in
was Republican; he was else ted. He at 3^
once became a leader, and in the flowing
fall retused a unanimous nomination for
.llayor. He has had offered to him every va
office in the gif c of the people of his city,
county and State, but has always declined
to accept any office except that of President '
of the Newark Board of Public Works. Mr. ~
Smith is no orator, but talks well. He haj Jo.
a dignified and easy manner, and is as
shrewd as any of them in dealing with men.
His gray hair gives him an appearance'older b0
than his actual age. Personally he is popu- '
lar and naturally amiable. He is married Fa
and has several children. thi

The first accident befell the Southwesti

a is operated by the Cleveland, Cincinnati,

arrived at the edge of the junction yards at
8:30 o'clock. Just outside of the yard is a
11 curveL After rounding this curve, and
r within a hundred yards of a siding, fho en' '
gineer noticed that a switch was turned.
The train was runoing at the rate of flfiy
miles an hour, and it was impossible to scop.

exploded, and 7000 gallons of oil were seuc i
flying in all directions.

Ross was unhurt up to that time, and

the engine. Before he had gone ten

i The flames spread to the other oil cars, and
seven of them were soon hissing and roaring

gallons of boiling and burning oil were tossed
' into the air. The roar and vibration could
' be heard for miles.
< The instant the explosions came some of
t the spectators tried to run. The oil seemed
' to be carried by the air over the great
crowd, and far out in the village. It seemed
to fall in streams and pools.
i For those within the circle of 100 yard'
there was no escape. Their clothing woi
burned, and literally fell from their bodies.
In a moment those who could began run

and screaming for help.
Some went to the nearest water and other;
ran into the fields. Panic reigned for a
