Special to the JERSEY CITY Nescs.
TRENTON, April 10, $780, Chancel-
lor Bird has filed conclusion In the case
of Beideman VS.. The Atlantic City Rail-
road Company The complainant asked
the Court to enjoin the defendant from
using its tracks for the purpose of shift
ing its cars in making up its trains or in
unmaking them in the vicinity of his
dwelling. The tracks used for this pur-
pose are about sixty feet from the dwell
ing of the complainant, and they are
used by the company in preparing trains
for departure and in shifting the cars of
incoming trains to other localities This
work, of course, is done by the use of an
engine. and more or less noise is made,
and smoke and steam cast off from the
engine. 1t Is said also that the train men
indulge in great deal of loud and boist-
erous halloaing. These noises disturb
the complainant and his wife by keeping
them awake, and it makes the house
tremble SO that tumbler will not stand
upon the table or lamp upon the mantel.
Mrs. Beideman alleges that she was kept
awake at night and nervous prostration
was produced.
1t was urged that the use of the tracks
for the purpose named was not only un-
lawful, but unnecessary.
The Vice Chancellor concludes that the
company Is violating some of the
rights given in its charter The complain
ant urged that the shifting of the trains
is q part of the terminal business of the
company and that the statute expressly
provides for the condemnation of suffi-
Gent land for that purpose. The Vice
Chancellor thinks this method of
reasoning not very good He does not
think that railroad company may be
adjudged guilty of a nuisance which uses
its main tracks not only for the outgoing
and incoming trains but for the neces-
sary shifting of the cars in making up
and unmaking trains when in so doing it
caused disturbance. discomfort or nerv-

Mrs. Lindsley is an old lady possessed

her TO visit her at her home in Belvidere.
The daughter in-law kept her there. as is
alleged, against her will, and finally she
made a Will IN favor of her daughter-1n-
law.
Then Mrs. Nichols applied for an en-
quiry into her mothers sanity and the
appointment of a person to take charge
of her affairs.
The Chancellor appointed commits
sion, OF which ex-Judge Stevens was the
head, and the commission adjudged the
old lady to be a lunatic and incapable Of

An application was then made to set

FIRE IN A HOSPITAL.
The Cool Courage of Camden Janitor
Prevents q Panic.

Prevents Fantc.
Special to the Jersey city Nescs.
CAMDEN, N. j., April IS, 1S90.--A fire
which had been smoIdering for hours in
the Cooper Hospital, was discovered at
eight o'clock this morning. The building
had narrow escape from destruction
and its inmates from horrible death. In
closet next the air shaft on the floor of
the Institution a pile of rags, used in
cleaning kitchen utensils, caught fire
from spark or by spontaneous combus-
tion.
The fire smouldered and burned
through the flooring and up into the por-
tion of the air-shaft before 1t WAS discov-
cred. The janitor telegraphed to the
City Fire Department, and then attack
ed the flames without raising an alarm
in the institution. His presence of mind
prevented panic, for with the aid of his
assistant and the use OF a fire exiting liish-
er the flames were gotten under control
before the firemen arrived. Had the
flames gained headway up the air-shaft
the building would probably have been
destroyed.
The inmates knew nothing of the fire
until all danger was over.
