PARKER POLITICALLY DEAD.
az al mo Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Once upon a time there was a Southern
railroad which put on fast train. calculated TO
rush through the country at the dizzy rate OF
twelve or fifteen miles an hour. There was gOOd
deal Of uncertainty among the people as TO the
safety OF such a train One day the train was
tagged by an old negro. who stood on the track
waving a red shirt. which he had probably bOr-
rowed from some Ku-Klux nsighboF. Tho con-
ductor was annoyed at the stopping Of the train
and brusquely ordered the old to hurry and
get on board "Oh. want gOin' to get on your old
train" was the reply. %bUt didn't know but that
somebody might want to get on" That seems to
be the experience nowadays OF the Democratic
train. Prominent Democrats al over the country
are signalling IL to stop. not to set ON board but
20 give others a chance 90 set of.
Judge Parker's very natural indispositiOn 60 be-
Iieve that his candidacy is dead Issue reminds
me OF the story Of the old woman who had greater
faith In her doctor than In her husband Her
IMAM had had q bad spell" and was stil IN
conscious when the physician arrived He ex-
amined the patient carefully. and finally pro-
nOunced him dead. Just then the Corpse aWOke
and with some indignation insisted that he was
NOT dead "Be still. john. cautioned the widow
''the doctor knows best" Judge Parker would
save himself good deal OF needless trouble II he
would take the DOCTORS advice and believe hlnl-
self politically dead w. N

To the Editor OF The Tribune.

JURY OUT 8 HOURS.
Mr.. Peterson Sued for $4,000 Damages
Eviderce introduced to Show that the
CompanySwas NegIigent-Was Stacking
Lime When there was an Explosion and
the Plaintiff was Injured.

Anton Peterson, of 80 Paterson
street, who, as told in the News.
brought suit against the Roessler &
Hasslacher Chemical Company for the
loss of his eye sight, by the explosion
of lime, which he was mixing, was
awarded SO, 500 in the United States
Circuit Court at Trenton, yesterday.
Mr.. Peterson sued the company for
$4,000.
The case was tried before Judge
Archibald, of Pennsylvania, because
of the illness of Judge kirkpatrick.
Joseph Stricken, who was the attorney
for Mr.. Peterson, made great plea
to the jury. Mr.. Stricken had as his
assistant George s. Sllzer, of Ne W
Brunswick.
The trial started on Tuesday NOM
ing, and the evidence was all in at
$3.50 yesterday afternoon. The law
yers sumed mp and the jury retired at
3:15 O'Clock. They were out until
about O'Clock, when they announced
their verliot
Mayor William s. Myers. of New
Brunswick, was called as an expert
witness in the case. He WAS examined
by George s Silzer, who with. Joseph
E. Stricken, represented the plaintiff.
Willard P. Voorhees,, who represents
the defense, with Charles O. HON.
mann, cross examined him.
1t was shown that the mishap
which caused Peterson to lose his
sight occurred ON February 8, 1903.
The plaintiff AYERS that he was en-
ployed by the chemical company and
that among other duties he had to
slake lime.
This is done in what is known
as q drum, and the plaintiff claims
that while Stacking the lime on Feb
ruary 3, 1908, the lime exploded and
the boiling liquid was thrown oil over
his body. causing him injury and to
lose the sight of both eyes.
The plaintiff claims that the drum
in which the lime was mixed was un-
fit for use, it being a ohlroform drum,
and that the company was negligent.
Mayor Myers was called to testify
about the explosive properties of
lime.

road Crossing When Gates We're
Down.

An exciting runaway took place
on Washington street about 10:3O
o'clock this morning. A brown horse
attached to the bakery wagon of
G. Cappcione, of 202 New Brunswick
avenue, became frightened at pass
ing obje ct and started on a wild run
down Washington street with the
driver on the seat.
The latter clutched frantically at
the roins, but could do nothin & to
check the animals flight. Several
times in is run, the horse mar rowly
missed striking pedestrians. At q
point short distance beyond the
crossing of the Lehigh Valley and
New Jersey Central railroad tracks.
the horse, with the wagon swayinR
from side to side, ran onto the side
walk, crashing into telegraph pole.
The shafts were broken nd the horse
and wagon parted. The driver was
thrown to the ground and was cover
ed with mud, from head to foot. He
received few slight bruises, but was
not otherwise hurt.
The animal, free of all encum-
brances, except fora few Limos strag-
Cling behind, then continued down
Washington street, until the corner
of State street was reached. Here he
slackened up slightly and was caught
with difficulty. His captor mounted
the animal and rode down State street
to Fayette and then out New Bruins
wick avenue.
When he neared the Lehigh Valley
crossing the rider saw that the gates
were do wn, and that q train was
approaching. He tried to stop the
horse, which was going at rapid
pace. He was unable to check his
speed, however, and the animal went
crashing into the gate. So great was
the horse's speed hat he broke the
gate. He was not hurt, beyond fow
scratches, nor was the rider thrown
off. The horse was then gotten under
control and taken to his stable.
