| The Commissioners of New Jersey, ap
pointed by his Excellency, Governo
Griggs, to "The Tennessee Centennial 8
international Exposition" now being heIt
at Nashville, desire to invite Jerseymer
who may contemplate visiting the Ex
position, to arrange, if possible, to be there
on the day set apart as New Jersey Day,
viz, the7th day of October next.
The United States Government has
erected buildings, and have exhibits there
and many States have also erected buildings
and will have their products on exhibition
and many doubtless from different parts Of
the country, will visit the Exposition.
The Commissioners indulge the hope
that you may be able to make that time
the occasion of your visit to the Exposition.
The fare for the round trip by way Of
Chattanooga, covering ten days, will be
$21.00, and by way of Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati, $3.50
If sufficient number can arrange to go, a
special train can be secured, to leave two
or three days in advance of that time.

The Rear-end Accident.

An examination of the crews of the trains
involved in the rear-end collision at Glass
boro Road crossing in Woodbury. last We'd
nesday night, and the telegraph operators
at Woodbury. and Wenonah, has been in
progress in Camden this week, to fix the re-
sponsihility for the accident. The public
will probably never know the result of this
investigation beyond learning of the trans
fer u suspension of some employee There
is no possible doubt that the investigation
will be thoroughly made, and every pre-
caution taken to guard against recurrence
|of such accidents. But we really believe
that just SO long as there are railroads and
trains operated by mortal man, there will
be accidents of one character or another, no
matter how excellent the system or how
infexible the enforcement of the rules of
its operation. The loss through destruction
of rolling stock in this accident is said to
be about $4,000.

| A decision rendered by the Court Of Err.
tofs and Appeals on Monday Of general
interest was in the case of Joseph B
Stricken and others against the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company, in which the find
ing of the trial court for the railroad was
upheld. Stricken and companion
purchased tickets at New Brunswick for
Perth Amboy, via Railway, and claim they
were directed to certain train. The train
did not stop at Railway, but stopped al
Metnchen. AS no connection could be
made there they rode on to Elizabeth, to
intercept the Perth Amboy train at that
point. The conductor demanded sixteen
cents additional fare for carrying them
from Railway to Elizabeth, and upon their
refusual to pay had them arrested. They
were locked up over night, and sued the
company for damages. The trial judge
granted non-suit under the law, which
permits the arrest OF persons who refuse to
pay their fare on railroads, and this was
0RnCl0 ny tAO OOuAO Va C0oeAoS
Lippincott announced the decision.
After stating the case as above he read
the syllabus of his opinion.
The syllabus said THAT as the declara-
ton was in the form of one for malicious
prosecution, and did not contain count for
false imprisonment, the proofs must show
that the arrest was made maliciously and
without probable cause, and the evidence
failing to disclose the latter element of
proof the non-suit was right.
THAT regarding the action as one for
false imprisonment, as it was treated by the
trial judge and by counsel on the argument,
still the non-suit must be sustained because
it was the duty of the plaintiffs under the
law to have either leftthe train at Metuchen
and then looked to the company for dam
ages for the alleged misdirection or to have
paid the additional fare from Railway to
Elizabeth and having failed to do either,
they became liable to arrest by the con-
ductor under the statute for the offense OF
knowingly and wilfully proceeding in a
carriage of railroad company beyond the
distance to which fare had been paid with
out previously paying the additional fare
for the additional distance and with intent
to avoid the payment thereof.
Justice Collins dissented, and said that
the case in point was one where the pas
sengers may have been honest in their be-
lief that they had a right to ride to Eliza
beth to make their connection, and that the
jury should be allowed to hear evidence on
this point and decide the fact. Justice Dix
on also dissented, and said that he not only
sustained Justice Collins, but that he doubt
ed the constitutionality of the law which
permits railroads to make arrests for non
payment of fares before the Indebtedness
had been judicially determined.
When the vote had been taken it was
found that the court stood five for affirm
ance and FIVE for reversal. This practically
affirmed the opinion of the lower court.
The members of the court voting for
reversal were Chief Justice Magic, Justices
Collins Dixon, Garrison and Judge Bogart
The members voting for an afirmance were
Justice Depue, Ludlow, Lippincott and
Judges Hendrickson and Nixon.
