BLAME THE COMPANY.
Jury In the Faha Inquest Say the
III olleys Run Too Fast

The Coroner's inquest into the kill
ing of little ~12-year-old John Faha of
No. 149 South street, last Friday night,
on central avenue, near Thorn street,
by motor No. %, of the Central avenue
line of the North Hudson County Rail
road Company, was held last night at
Kessler's Hall. i
About twenty witnesses testified, but
the majority of them knew very little
if anything about the accident. John
Jacoby, one of the five boys who were
playing school with Faha just previous
to the accident, testified that Faha ran
directly in front of the car, within three
or five feet of it, and to his knowledge
the motorman could not possibly have
lives near where the accident occurred,
swore thai the motorman reversed the.
car and that the wheels ran over the
boys neck in so doing. His statement,
however, was denied by other witnesses.
The jury deliberated over two hours n
a half, and then rendered this verdict
I'VE find that John Faha came to his
death through the neglect of the motor
man, George Gross, in running said car
at an unusual rate of speed, and not
ringing his gong, as the safety of the
public requires. We further find the
North hudson County Railroad Company
responsible for said death of John Faha
for compelling the motorman to make a
ing proper tenders to prevent such ac-
cident. We also suggest that the Board
of Aldermen Of Jersey City see that the
said company. regulates the speed of
the cars not to run more than eight
miles an hour

Two pumps in Short Mountain colliery,
Pennsylvania, were recently buried be-

peared at the surface staggering. In an

ture did not exist for n great distance,
and went down a second time. In eleven
minutes he came back, reporting that he
could not find the pumps: He was in

did so, locating the pumps. On the fourth
and last trip he started one of the pumps
