Among the recent decisions handed down by the Board of United States General Appraisers last week was one regarding the duty on automatic cigar lighters. Unger Bros., of this city, and others claimed that the articles were dutiable as manufactures of metals under Par. 199.

William Jeckel, 46 years old, a silversmith, who had for several months been in the employ of Unger Bros., and who lived at 47 Morton St., lost his life on Sunday while making a heroic effort to save two children from being ground to pieces by a Central Railroad train at the Spring St. station in Elizabeth. He seized the children and threw them aside in time to save them from sustaining even a scratch. Witnesses of his bravery were so certain that he could not escape injury that they turned away as the tots landed on the station platform and Jeckel made a desperate effort to reach the same spot. A fraction of a second would have saved him, but as he took the last step that was necessary to land him on the platform the pilot of the engine struck him and hurled him aside with great force. It was not thought at first that he was seriously hurt, but when he was taken to a hospital it was found that his injuries were fatal. He died a short time afterward without having regained consciousness. His body was taken to Newark on Monday. He was unmarried.
