ton street, Hoboken, against the Ma

damages for injuries received at the COM
pany's factory in Hoboken, was tried in

Ross was first employed in the factory
glueing pieces of wood together He was
working at that time for the man who
had the contract to do that kind of work
In November, 1897, the foreman of the
factory put him to work on a circular
saw In another part of the factory.
Neither the foreman nor anyone else
warned him of the dangerous character
of his work. At first he had heavy tim
ber to saw, but one day the foreman gave
him some light wood. AS Ross put the
first piece In contact with the saw some
thing happened and when he recovered
consciousness his left hand was injured
and his left arm has been useless ever
since.
When all the testimony for the plain
tiff had been put In Lawyer Carrick NOV
ed for a non-suit on the ground that no
negligence on the part of the defendant
had been proved. Judge Nevius reserved
decision until this morning. when he
granted the non-suit. Mr. Albeit will
appeal from the decision.

.FAVORS VAN REYPEN SITE
Director Barker Thinks Har-
rison Lots Too Ex-
pensive.

Director Charles Q. Barker, of the new
High School Committee, said last evening
that he was in the dark on the site ques-
ton. Two propositions have been su'D-
mitted to the Board of Finance, he said,
and there the matter rests. The COM
mittee's hands are tied
THE Harrison site, said he, appears
to me TO be much more expensive than
another one we have in view. The Van
Reypen site. which faces on the Boule-
yard at Tonnele avenue, is an ideal one.
This plot occupies four hundred feet on
the Boulevard and is two hundred feet
deep. l believe that this plot could be
purchased for at least one-half what the
Harrison site will cost. The excavating
Of the Harrison site, which believe is
almost solid rock, will cost a good round
sum. We cannot tell which site will be
selected. It is now up to the Board of
Finance"
Mr.. Barker was also asked whether any
trouble was anticipated over the building
of School No. 20 in Greenville.
Mr.. Long, the architect, the inspector
and contractor have received no money
yet" said he. .'but the work will not be
stopped. Mr.. Long will have the work
continued, but when he is to get his money
only the Finance Commissioners can tell.,'
