Alexander E. McManus Killed.

  Alexander E. McManus, a conductor, employed on the South Amboy 
division of the P.R.R., was killed last night in the South Amboy yards.  
No particulars.  Deceased formerly resided in Columbia and was a son of 
Owen McManus, of this place.  The father left this morning for South 
Amboy to arrange for the disposition of the body.  A peculiarly sad 
feature of the accident lies in the fact that this is the second son of 
Mr. McManus' killed in the railroad service.  The first having lost his 
life in the service of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad.  Deceased 
leaves a wife, who was formerly Miss Maggie McCall, of Wrightsville.
