A Widow. Plight with n Railroad.

In the Supreme Court in Newark, yesterday.
the of overmuller against the Delaware Lacka.
wanna and Western Railroad Company occupied the
entire day. Mrs overmuller sues 70 recover
dlmszes from the railroad company for the death OF
her husband, which was caused by tie carelessness
OF the defendants in not properly protecting
hume ST M!burn station, whereby her husband was
drowned amer alightins from the defendants cars.
The plaintiff insists that the plltiorm accommoda-
nons were insufficient and that proper lights were
not erected at the dangerous spot. The defendants
claim that they carried the paiItihs husband safely
from Newark TO Mlburn, and that by his own care
lessness lie fell into the hume. The case was still
on last evening with the prospect OF verdict for
the plaintiff.
