the center Of batch of berry bushes.
Smith was about scared to death. His dog
commenced to whine, and with it's tail
between its legs sought refuge in Smiths

Stupid AS USUAL.
Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury
in the Rock Wall Plaster
Collapse Case.


Coroner Volk and a jury of six men
held an inquest at d Fellows Hall,
Hoboken, last night. into the death of
Charles Schott, an employee of the Po-
cohontas Coal Company, who was killed
on Wednesday last by the falling of a
wall of the Rock Wall Plaster Com
pany's s~torehouse on River street, Hobo
ken. Counsellor Alex. C. Young appeared
in behalf of the widow, and Counsellor
Thomas Bedle represented the Rock
Wall Plaster Company.
Superintendent Julian of the Plaster
Company testified that two hours before
the crash he noticed that the wall was
bulging out n cracking. He put his
men to work propping it up. The build
ing, he said, contained between two and
three thousand tons of rock plaster.
The cracking of the wall was also
noticed by John B. Smith, an engineer
in the employ of the Plaster Company,
who testified that he warned the men to
keep away, that there was danger of the
wall falling. The Office of the POGO
hontas Coal Company was situated sew
eral yards from the building.
Charles Toomey, cashier of the Coal
Company, testified that he was in the
office working on the company's books
shortly before the accident. He heard
a cracking noise and saw men propping
the wall up. Perceiving the danger of
the wall failing upon the office he left
his work and walked away from the
building.
John B. Callusio, who is also employed
by the Coal Company, said;-"I saw
Schott enter the office just before the
wall collapsed. ] armed him of the. dan
ger and told him that the wall was likely
to fall any minute. Schott was Just COM
ing out of the Office door when the crash

was summoned and he. was removed to
ST. Mary's Hospital, where he died the
next day
Dr.. Foley, who attended Schott at the
hospital, testified that the latters death
was caused by a fracture at the base OF
the skull
The jury. after a long consultation, re-
turned the following verdict:l"We fine
hat Charles Schott came to his death at
ST. Mary's Hospital on December 10. from
injuries received on December 18 or the
coal dock adjoining the Rock Wall
Plaster Company's building, and We find
by the evidence that the Rock Wall
Plaster Company is at fault through the
negligence of their employees in piling the
rock plaster in the building without re-
gard to safety"
