WANTS PAY FOR HIS MULE.
Farmer Cary Blocks Trolley Travel
10 Collect 4 Claim.
Especial to 'sThe Jersey city News.'1

tSpecldl TO 1HG JcIScy SIly NEWS.
CAMDEN, Sept. %, 1S9Z.-Farmer
| Michael Cary, of Mt. Laurel township,
! Burlington county. has adopted a most
unique method of collecting a claim of
s141.50 against the Camden & Suburban
Railroad Company. Mr.. Cary claims the
above amount of damages because one
of his mules was recently killed by reason
of being frightened at a trolley car on
the Moorestown turnpike.
AS the corporation refused to pay for
the animal Mr.. Cary consulted ex-Judge
Howard Carrow, of Camden, as to his
rights on the Moorestown turnpike. He
was informed that if he paid his toll n
kept to the right he had even a better
license to use the road than the trolley
company. Not being able to get any
money for his dead mule, Mr.. Cary de-
cided to have revenge, and some fun at
the same time, at the expense of the
corporation, although his novel method
of doing so proved rather annoying to
the residents of M~erchantville yesterday
morning.
leave Merchantville yesterday morning,
with Farmer Cary and e~x-Judge Car
row as two of the passengers. a shelv-
ing loaded with hay was driven on the
the farmhands OF Mr.. Cary. The Moores-
! town turnpike connects Merchantville
and Camden and the driver of the hay
shelving having paid his toll, could not
be driven off the ~thoroughfare until the
latter place was reached. And he held
his ground until the east BAN of Coop
er's Creek was reached. The loaded
| hay shelving was driven from Merchant
| vile 10 Camden at a snailts pace, and the
trolley car could go no faster. 1t took
| nearly an hour to make the trip, and
by the time Camden was reached there
We're a half dozen cars behind the
/ wagon. and a man could easily walk
much faster than they were moving.
The motorman. conductors and some of
the passengers were indignant. but
| many of the riders sided with Farmer
| Cary when they learned the reason for
| the blockade. and they bore the incon-
venience to which they were subjected
with patience.
TWO constables who attempted to lead
the teams from the track were warned
by Farmer Cary to leave the mules alone
and they promptly desisted, when in
formed that the owner of the outfit had
paid his toll and was entitled 10 drive
so long as he kept to the right.
Finally when Camden was reached the
driver of the hay shelving pulled out to
the car tracks and he gave everybody
the laugh as the crowded trolley cars hur~
ried by in procession SO as to land their
passengers at their destinations as soon
| as possible. Farmer Cary says he will
pursue the same tactics to block travel
| every day until the trolley company pays
his claim for damages. and man Mer-'
chantvflle residents are contemplating
walking to Camden for the present to
avoid any delay.
