DAMAGES FOR ACCIDENTS.

The New York Central has faced another
heavy verdict in the award of the Jury of
$1,000 damages for the death Of Earnest

tunnel accident.
This is one of the heaviest damages ever
awarded for death in State where a
few years ago damages were limited 10

abolished by the last constitutional conven-
ton, and our own Constitution wisely pro-
hibits the General Assembly from passing
acts limiting damages. This is as II should
be. The public has no more effective way
of forcing railroads 10 provide for the

Nelson and William Smith, the half and
full brothers of the late Mrs. Charles Fair,
refused to discuss to-day a report that the
claims of the relatives OF Mrs. Fair to the
Fair estate had been settled for s250,0O0.
A friend of the family. who is in a posi-
ton to speak, said he doubted that such a
settlement had been effected. If the report
said the settlement was the basis of
S250,0O0 to each of the relatives of Mrs. Fair
he would place some reliance on it, From
his manner of talking il could be inferred
that negotiations to settle on that basis are
in progress. 1t is said that representa-
tive of Mrs Oelrichs recently made several
trips to this place and to Plainfield.
