FALLING THE RAILROADS.
Expert McCulloh Expounds Some New
and Interesting Views.

ana interesting tleWss
Considerable progress has been made in
the Central Railroad certiorari case this
week. Mondays examination was taken at
the Rowland Hotel, Long Branch, but on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the ex-
aminations were held at the Office of Sites
q Harrison, in the Fuller Building. The
redirect examination of Mr.. Harrison by
Judge Hoffman occupied all of Monday and
portion of Tuesday, and while what was
brought out did not develop anything new,
of Importance it is generally believed that
Judge Hoffman has, if anything, strength
ened the case of the State. At the conclu-
sion of Mr. Harrison's testimony (Which is
finished, except the right reserved by Mr..
De Forest to examine the witness on re-
CROSSE, Mr.. George w. Thorn, Jr., who
made the measurements along the line, was
examined in verifcation of Mr.. Harrison's
testimony. Then Mr., William T. Markham,
an architect and an expert on the value of
buildings and structures, in the employ of
Sites Il Harrison, testified as to the differ
ences between the figures as testified to by
Mr. Harrison and his own valuations. The
difference was very trifing- not SIC, 900 on
the whole line, his figures being in advance
of the estimates testified to by Harrison.
Probably the most interesting witness
put on the stand in any Of the certioaari
cases was Mr. James w. McCulloh, who
was sworn on behalf of the State-though
his testimony, if anything, weakened the
States case-on Thursday afternoon. Mr..
McCulloh is now engaged as secretary to
the New Croton Acqueduct Commission in
New York. He is resident of Englewood,
Nj He testified that he had purchased
the right of way for the Pennsylvania new
cut through Bergen Hill; he also purchased
the rights of way for the New York, West
Shore and Buffalo and Ontario and Western
Railroad companies. He stated that his
experience was that a railroad company
had to pay any where from double to ten
times the value of the land in its right of
way for any ordinary uses. Mr.. McCulloh
was asked by Judge Hoffman If the land
in the right of way of railroad was worth
as much as was paid for it. to which he
replied, Sin most cases it is not worth for
any purpose whatever what railroad COM
pany pays for it.
He also testified that abandoned roadbed
land was not worth SO per cent. the value
of adjacent farm lands He knew this to
be the fact from actual experience. Being
pressed as to whether or not railroad was
worth, after it was built, what it had cost,
the witness replied ssWell. taking the fran
chise and all else entering into its value as
railroad, it might be worth what it cost;
it ought to, at any rate, but that is entirely
apart from the value of the land itself.
II should like to buy the West Shore Road
to-day, added the witness, ssat what 1t is
worth and sell it at what it has cost. /

Murphy Meets His Death.
PHILADELPHIA, July IS. The o'clock ex-
press train from Atlantic City over the
West Jersey Road this morning, compris-
ing six passenger cars and one baggage
car, met with an accident at Franklinville,
twenty-four miles from this city, that mar
rowly escaped being disastrous. An open
switch was the cause. The train was going
at the rate of forty miles an hour. It ran
off on siding upon which stood loaded
lumber car. The locomotive dashed into
it with such force as to knock off the head
of the boiler, and pack the lumber tightly
into the cylinder. The locomotive then
overturned.
The engineer, George Murphy, of Cam
den, after putting on the air brakes and re-
yersing his engine, sprang from the cab.
but was crushed to death under the falling
locomotive The fireman. who sprang
from the other side, was saved.
The baggage car and the smoker were
also overturned and fell into ditch at the
side of the track, while the parlor car was
merely forced from the track by the spread
ing of the rails
The train was crowded with gentlemen
on their way to business in this city, and
the escape of the passengers without any
more serious injury than few bruises was
considered miraculous.

A Fortunate Laborer.

Christopher O'Neill, of IA St. Pauls
avenue, workman for Mr.. Tierney, the
contractor, was paid his two weeks wages
last night, amounting to over $26. After
paying few rum bills and buying
several pints of beer, Christopher
negotiated for bunch of beets.
While paying for them, in some way he
pulled out the tobacco bag in which his
money was lodged, and dropped it, About
s o'clock in the evening Frank Sidman, a
boy living at 568 Newark avenue, found
tobacco bag, and opening it, took out two
tens and one tive-dollar bill. While exam
lining it, young Sidman's mother pounced
upon him, and carried it to Commissioner
Clark. At 10 o'clock O'Neill appeared for
the cash, and proving property, it was
turned over to him. Christopher says he
will now be able to pay his rent.

lrlae Isaysnne stages.

What the Bergen Railroad people think
of the old New York stages running ever
Avenue d, in Bayonne, where they couldn't
put their car tracks, is not generally known
but it is understood that they smile at the
scheme of the originator of the idea, and
think that there is not much to be made
out of it. A good many people in Bayonne
think otherwise. The stages are run from
Brady's Dock, on the Kills, to the canal at
48th street, distance of about four miles,
and connect with Greenville. The route
covered is one which must naturally be
greatly travelled, as is clearly proven by the
number of riders in the st~ges day after
day. From the start they have paid.
Within day or two report has become
current that rival line is to be started.
If this is done, and the Bergen Company
get their rails through, BayOnne will haYe
all the facilities in the world.

of errors being made which doubtless would
not have occurred had the thermometer
been dozen degrees lower. In the sixth
inning, Shetzline, at first base, received a
severe blow from the ball, but pluckily put
