VERDICT OF $4,000
FOX TOMLINSON

Joseph Tomlinson, of Vineland.
Tuesday in the Circuit Court, ;proved
to the satisfaction of the jury that he
had been seriously injured by negli-
Rence upon the part of the West Jer-
sey and Seashore Railroad Company,
and last night he was awarded ver-
dict of So 600.
The case occupied the attention of
Court and jury all day, and was
marked with an interesting and earn
est legal battle between former Judge
Howard Carrow for the plaintiff, and
Judge Joseph Gask1ll for the defend
ant corporation
AS stated in the "Pioneer'' yester-
day Mr.. Tomlinson alleges that he
was seriously and permanently injured
last July. by being struck in the ribs
and back with dress suit case in the
hands of fellow passenger upon a
train between Camden and Vineland
1t was claimed by the plaintiff and
shown by preponderance of evidence
that the accident was caused by the
train being suddenly started while
the passengers were endeavoring to
get from the train, after the cars and
engine had been brought to a full
stop, thus causing the passengers who
had arisen from their seats to be
thrown together with some force.
Tomlinson also showed by expert
testimony that previous to the acci-
dent he had been strong and healthy,
while since he had suffered from seri-
Gus spinal affection which bid fair to
be permanent.
The defendant company showed by
the train men that there was no sud-
den starting of the train after it had
been brought to full stop and indi-
Gated strongly that the injuries re-
ceived by Tomlinson were due to con-
tribut utory negligence.
Very ably and exhaustively was the
case presented to the jury by distin-
guished and learned counsel, and the
Judges charge was full and explicit.
The jury retired and was out for an
hour. Tt is said that the verdict of
So. 900 finally agreed upon was com
promise. The amount fixed in the
declaration of the plaintiff was $40, :
600 and it is understood that some of
the jurors we're willing to make the
verdict $40, 900.
1t is generally understood that the
case will be appealed.

Miller Bill Vetoed.

Trenton, Oct. Ex-Governor Frank
lin Murphy to-day vetoed the Miller
bill, passed at the special session of
the Legislature, appointed the Passaic
Valley Flood Commission and received
a number of State officials and promi-
nent politicians.
The Miller bill was intended as
supplement of the Colby school law
and provided that where. at the time
of the passage of the Colby act, a
school district was made up of two
municipalities it should continue as
such
1t is a terse comment, with which
the Governor declines to favor the
measure, his entire veto reading as
follows:
approval withheld. This t rli-
rectly within the condemnation oi the
Court of Errors and Appeals in the
recent decision setting aside the school
law of 1902 as unconstitutional.
This determination was reached
after a careful consideration of the
bill by the Executive and the Attor-
ney General, the latter of whom
argued that the measure would not
stand in the courts and might even
endanger the Colby law, of which it
was supposed to be part.

Cumberland County now has five
active Oranges, aggregating about $50
members. The county picnic last
summer was grand success and the
result was the formation of Pomona

help to the Changers, as it's objects
are manifold, such as educational,
fraternal, social and cooperative,
bringing the farmers together to learn
different ways and methods of work
and thought, and great financial
benefit by buying at wholesale such
commodities as are used on every
farm and in every family. Its officers

DAMAGE SUIT
BEING TRIED.

Before Judge Nixon Monday a case
was moved, it being Joseph Tomlinson
against the West Jersey and Seashore
Railroad Company. Howard Carrow
appeared for Tomlinson and Jos. H.
Gaskill for the Railroad Company.
Thls was a suit brought by Jos. Tom
linson. of Vineland, against the West
Jersey and Seashore Railroad Com
pany. On the third day of last July
Mr.. Tomlinson was riding on the train
from Camden to his home in Vine
land. When he got up out of his seat
at .Vineland to get off the car he was
going up the aisle toward the platform
when man who had dress suit case
in rack overhead was in the act of
taking it down. The train gave q
sudden jerk. knocking the man with
the dress suit case over against Mr..
Tomlinson. The dress suit case struck
Tomlinson, breaking one of his ribs
and throwing him against the oppo-
site seat, seriously iniuring his spine.
The first witness called was Joseph
Tomlinson. He said thatshe lived in
Vineland and was employed at a
wholesale grocery house in Philadel-
phia, and on July he left Camden
on the five O'Clock train for his home
in Vineland. AS he was in the act of
going up the aisle to get off after the
train had come to full stop gentle
man who was taking dress suit case
down was thrown over by the train
giving a sudden jerk. The suit case
struck Mr.. Tomlinson and knock ed
him against the seat. He then got in
hack and went home. When he
went to go. to bed he had so much
pain he could not lie down. He called
a doctor who said he had broken his
rib. Now he cannot lie or sit down
unless he has number of pillows
under him. Since last July he has
not been able to work.
The case is still on, and will require
much of the day.

good to America. - The affirmative

batter. The judges were Misses Shaw,

Hirst, of the Hirst Rug Manufacturing
Company, of this place, has just been
granted patents covering process for
making window and plate glass by

aid of compressed air. The molten
glass is fed into it by a scoop and,
after being rolled into the mould, is
held there by heavy air pressure until
it is chilled 1t is the same principle
on which bottles are fitted to the mold
by the air pressure of the blower. One
machine, it is claimed, will take the
place of thirty-six men.

for five days, adjourned to-day after

extended session was caused by Mill

charges wanted Rev. DR.. L D. Stultz.
Delegate Muta. of the latter church,
declared that possession was nine

that be should hold out. Mr.. Coxson,
from Millvllle. was just as determined
that he should take home the news
that Mr.. Stultz would go there.
The report of the committee was
that Mr.. Stultz should go to Millville,
and Rev Mr.. Leuppe. of Fair Haven,
for Bridgeton. The Fair Haven dele
gate raised a protest Il locke as
though the report would stand, when
some one suggested that Mr. Stultz
remain at Bridgeton and give him

CAMPAIGN Is
NOW CLOSING.

The last few days of the political
be unusually interesting. There is
absolutely no change in the situation
excepting that the allegiance of the
voters to DR.. Thompson for Surrogate
is stronger than ever before, and that
there will be handsome majority for
him in all the various wards and
townships, with possibly two excep-
tions.
The efforts in closing the campaign
by the Democratic Literary Bureau,
will be marked with vigorous energy.
The Chronicle. edited by l. T. Mich
OILS. hired for that purpose by the
Democratic candidate for Surrogate.
will be printed tonight, and it is
PROMISED that the billingsgate of the
past is nothing as compared with what
will appear. 1t is understood that
the Chronicle will be issued daily
from now un til election.
= = !.
In Bridgeton there is little being
done in the campaign SO far as the
county contest is concerned. The
Democratic managers have practically
abandoned Bridgeton and are giving
their entire time and attention to the
other side of the county.
The Chronicle promises to be es-
peeially interesting this week. 1t
will urge that Republicans of the oy-
ster townships should vote for the
Democratic candidate for Surrogate
because T. F. Austin was former
State Oyster Superintendent. and it is
alleged did not make good officer.
The oystermen will probably think
that is humor.
There will be several Interestingly
written articles about Millville off

vile is charged upon "the Austins''
and this will be urged as another rea-
son why Cumberland county should
have Democratic Surrogate.
There will be further attacks upon
other persons, and old files of the
Pioneer will be quoted, injecting
in the present campaign something of
the past.
This and more should make pretty
lively reading. 1t is well to prepare
for such feast. 1t will be decidedly
unusual.
