Dey, who had been station agent at Englishtown for 34 years, was hit by an express train on Thursday morning and died from his injuries in less than an hour after the accident. Mr. Dey was walking down an inclined plane that leads from the station platform to the tracks. When the train was almost alongside of the station he slipped and fell on his face, his head almost touching the track. Before he could get up the train was upon him. It is supposed that Mr. Dey raised his head, and that his head was struck by some part of the engine. He was picked up and carried into the station. The only marks upon him were two cuts on the right side of his head. He was unconscious and did not retain consciousness. Mr. Dey was born in Middlesex county and was 64 years old. He was a farmer when a young man, but gave that occupation up when he was appointed station agent at Englishtown, 1862, which position he held without interruption until his death. He joined Tennent church when a boy and for the past 25 years he had been an elder of the church. He was a member of Jamesburg lodge of Odd Fellows. His wife died about four years ago. Three children survive him. They are Mrs. John R. Quaife of Jersey City; Miss Annie Dey, who lived with her father, and Mrs. Henry Herbert, who lives near Englishtown.
