The coroner,s verdict.

The jury empaneled to ascertain the
cause of the recent railway accident were
unable to agree as to who was to blame
and three yerdicts were rendered. First
that A persons named by the Jurors
were killed. All agreed upon that point.
The second verdict was as follows:
We, the undersigned jurors, also find
that Engineer Farr, of the Atlantic City
Railroad, failed to have his engine under
proper control on approaching said
crossing; and that George F. Hauser, in
giving the excursion train of the West
Jersey and Seashore Railroad, the right
of way over fast express used bad
Judgment. We also are of the opinion
that Engineer John Greiner, Of said
excursion train, erred in not exercising
greater care in crossing ahead OF said
fast express.
Charles Evans, Thomas J. Dickerson,
Charles E. Adams.
The third was rendered: The under
signed jurors are of the opinion that
the cause of the collision was the failure
of Edward Farr, engineer OF train No. 23
to give heed in time to the semaphOre
signals set against him, and thus failed
to have his train under proper control
on approaching the signal and crossing
under the rules. The undersigned jurors
declare that the towerman, George F.
Hauser, may have used poor judgment
in his estimate of the Atlantic City train
No. % when he gave the white board
to the West Jersey and Seashore ex-
cursion train, No. 700. Lewis Evans,
Levi C. Albertson, John B. Champion.
Practically the verdict amounts to
nothing and the whole matter, as
suggested in the letter of our Atlantic
City correspondent, will now go to the
Courts in suits for damages: where, let
us hope, the responsibility will be more
definitely fixed.
We think Judge Thompson was right
in his unofficial opinion that the Coro-
ner's jury could not be kept without food
until they rendered verdict. The law
does not give the Coroner any authority
to deprive people of their dinners.
Judge Thompson is also right upon
another point in saying that there is
really nothing in the law which requires
the jury to return the verdict at any
specified time, and days or even weeks
may pass before they make their return
if they see fit to delay it,
Some juries never render verdict, for
instance: the one that was empaneled
to ascertain the cause of the death of
that old soldier found dead in the woods
about a year and halt ago.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I desire to call attention
of the proper persons to the nuisance at
the Reading Railroad crossing. For
years people have waded and wallowed
through sand shoe top deep, and it seems
singular that no one complains. In an
up-to-date town it would not be tOlera-
ted one week. Have we no mayor
or council to look after the matter? 1t
is bad enough to have the dangerous
crossing even if it was kept in perfect
repair. 1t is the company's duty to
keep the approaches to their track in
good condition. A CITIZEN.
