HUNT BROTHERS
NOLAN CASE
GOES TO JURY.

The Nolan case was still on trial
Wednesday afternoon. Judge Westcott
at the conclusion of defence, made an
argument on the evidence in which
he was very severe on the defence In
alluding to the evidence of the de-
fence he characterized it as abounding
with "lies,'' ''fraud . "psriury. y
The diagram which the defence had
placed on evidence he said, was an
"infernal lie.I diabolically prepared to
fool and deceive the jury" He con
oluded by informing the jury that he
expected at their hands a verdict of
$4,000 for Mr.. Nolan.
Judge Gaskill made the closing ad-
dress at the commencement of which
he laid down the propositions 1st,
that because unfortunate Mr.. Nolan
comes into Court minus one leg, it is
not reason that the defendant COM
pany or any one else should pay Mr..
Nolan any damages. I'd. that unless
negligence was shown on the part of
the defendant company, Mr.. Nolan
could not recover damages. and Sd,
that ii contributory negligence was
not absolutely disproven, Mr.. Nolan
could not recover damages. These
propositions were. stated by him as be-
ing absolute law. His argument fol-
lowed upon these lines.
The Judge stated that he should not
send the jury out last evening.
The lawyers, Judge Gaskill and
Judge Wescott. concluded their argu-
ments.. Thursday morning in thesNolan
case, not having finished yesterday
afternoon. Judge Gaskill closed his
argument. and Judge Wescott made
the last address closing the arguments.
They did not get through until after
II O'Clock. Judge Endicott made an
exhaustive charge to the jury, in
which he laid down the law govern
ing the liability of the Traction Com
pany in this case, and the contribu-
tory negligence of the plaintiff him
self. etc.: and the case was given to
the jury. 1t has been long case and
tedious, and no one can tell its out.

ing salary of 5000 for the session in
the capacity of Assistant Journal

be absolutely correct. Asemblyman
Miller also has doorkeeper. Robert
Mccoy, we'll known Lands RepubIi-
can. He gets salary of $3.50 for the
session.
Assemblyman Buck was fortunate
in securing two doorkeepers. each get
ting $3.50 for the ten or twelve weesk
they spend in Trenton. Both his door
keepers, William Peacock and James
Downs are well known Millville Re-

On the Senate side. Senator Minch

office in the upper Chamber, the AS
sistant Secretary. His office is in the
rear Of the new chamber in hand
some room where Cumberland county
folks are always welcome and cour-
teously treated. About this room and
in the corridor leading to it is Frank
Miller, the colored Republican of
Hopewell township. Frank is one of
the most popular of the attaches. and
every Senator likes him, and he is
always at the service of any Cumber-
land county man who happens to come
in.
Adjoining the Secretary room is
President Wakelees quarters, most
luxuriously and handsomely furnished.
Here at any time can be found Jacob

NECK BROKEN IN
A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

A horrible tragedy occurred Friday
night about half-past eight o'clock,
Neal Sholders, carpenter, being
thrown from wagon and killed in

Mr.. sholders, man well known
in this community. living on jackson
street. in the Third ward, was driving
eastward over the Broad street bridge.
Friday night when helmet altrolley car
bound west. Mr.. Sholders had a
pretty good horse hooked to road
cart. The animal seemed to be some
what frightened at the car and the
motorman brought the trolley to a
standstill, and Mr.. Sholders drove
by all right.
Immediately Sholders had passed
the car. his horse began rearing and
kicking andsbroke into wild DASH
fairly flying over the asphalt pave
ment on Jefferson street.
The road cart swerved from side
to side as the animal made his wild
dash. but Mr.. Sholders managed to
keep upon the seat until the intersec-
tion of South Pearl and Lemon streets
was reached There the wagon
lurched into post and there was a
crash and Sholdefs was lifted high
from the seat and pitched forward
into the ourbing, striking full upon
the head
The few eye witnesses to the acci-
dent were horrified with the terrible
tragedy as they rushed toward the
prostrate, inanimate figure.
The horse had torn itself from the
wagon and dashed eff up Pearl street.
turning into Commerce and madly
going west.
Mr.. sholders was picked up by
those who had gathered at the scene
and placed upon settee. By this
time DR.. Elsmore Sites had arrived
and he made hurried examination.
He found the man practically dead.
and first noticed wicked cash in the
head. laying bare the skull. The
wound was in the motor region, and
while such an injury will render one
unconscious, it is not likely to cause
death. Further investigation showed
that the mans neck was broken. the
dislocation being complete. Death
had been instant.
fThe body was carried to the hotel
of Seoriam Dubois, where County
Physician ssDiament was summoned,
and made an official examination.
The cause of death was apparens and
the facts attending the accident were
easily apparent and no inquest will be
held.
Chas. B. Williams, the contra otor
for whom Sholders worked much of
the time, visited his home later in the
evening to carry the sad tidings t. the
wife. With Mr.. and Mrs. Dolbow,
neighbors, the awful story was told.
coming as an awful shock to the
stricken woman.
Mrs. Sholders said that her hus.
band had an engagement out of town
yesterday, and hooked up his horse
about three O'Clock, drove off with
the idea Of returning early in the
evening.
When he returned to town he must
have had some business down town
and driving on down. met his death
Sholders was man slightly more
than fifty years old. powerfully built
man and an exceptionally good horse
man, and his friends can scarce under
stand how the animal got the better
of him.
The body has been removed to the
home Of the widow and notice will be
given Of the funeral.
