Mr.. Dolbow, well known citizen
in the community where he lived, was

At Seeley he had farm and also
conducted large blacksmith shop.
Friday he went out in the
woods, accompanied by another man,
to cut some timber. He was in his
usually excellent health, and was
WELDING the ak with his accustomed
vigor.
Without an instant's warning he
was noticed by his companion to reel
and then pitch headlong to the ground,
where he expired within the moment.
The fatality occurred about two
miles from the Dolbow residence, and

moved there.
The examination of the physician
called revealed the fact that death had
been caused by paralysis of the heart.

With thinned ranks and halting
steps, the living heroes of the Civil
War honored the martyrs who fell in
defence of the Union, and those who
have since passed over to the great be-
yond.
1t was not an ideal day for the after
noon rain greatly interfered with the
usual observance and cut short the
solemn, patriotic exercise.
In the morning the old veterans were
early at the Post rooms which were
open Tor the reception of flowers, and
great quantities were generously pre-
ented by the people OF the community.
Here the flowers were deftly woven
into wreaths and formed in bouquets
for the decoration of the green mounds
IN the silent camping grounds, where
SO many lie sleeping.
In the morning the usual delegations
visited Deerfield. Roadstown, Shiloh
and Greenwich and performed the low
ing service. At Shiloh and at Deer
field there were special exercises.
These delegations were served lunch
con at the Post rooms and at 2 O'Clock
the procession was formed, and the
most creditable parade in years was
made.
Capt. Samuel r. Fithian, the most
aged veteran in Bridgeton, was the
marshal, with Andrew f. Zane, who
was not yet sixteen when the war be.
gan, as Assistant.
The line was headed by the G. A.
h. drum corps, while following came
the members of Company X with
Capt. Iredell in command. The uni
formed military guards of Hope and
Welcome Councils followed, and then
| came the 40 boys of the Trinity M. E
Church Poys' Brigade in their natty
white uniforms. The lads were headed
by their own drum corps. They were
a feature of the demonstration. The
veterans of the Post came next, and
following was the large band wagon
filled with pretty girls and the physi-
cally disabled veterans in carriages.

reached the cemetery the shower came,
and the crowds scattered. The old

thrown open for shelter and it was
packed with people.
The storm caused the veterans to cut
short the exercises, and the line was

BRIDGEToN N j., THURSDAY. JUNE l. 1905.
CIRCUIT COURT
CASES TAKEN UP.

Judge Allan B. Endicott held ses-
sion OF the Circuit Court Wednesday.
When Court was opened Wednesday
the trial list was called by the Judge,
five cases in the circuit list were found
ready for trial, and two unsettled, of
the French receiver cases were set
down for argument on demurrer to-
morrow morning.
The first case taken up for trial was
Reuben L. Bowen against Rachel
Cohen Caleb Weeks and a jury was
empanelled.
Jas. Boyd Potter appeared for the
claimant and Hampton q Fithian ap-
peared for the defendant.
Mr.. Weeks had filed claim or me-
chanics' loan for work done on Miss
Oohen's house on Mulberry street in
raising and repairing the house, the
price for which was $100.
After Mr.. Weeks had been placed on
the stand and stated his side of the
case, Mr.. Fithian, of Hampton q
Fithian, moved for a nonsuit, which
was granted, but the jury was in
structed to return verdict against
Weeks for $4. 30 for use of screw jacks
hired OF Bowen, for work on Miss
Cohen's house.
The next suit of Weeks against
Cohen was at once moved and Jury
was empaneled, the same attorney ap-
pearing in the case in the same posi-
tion as before.
Mr.. Fithian's motion for nonsuit
in the former case was made on the
grounds that a mechanics lien could
not be for material and repairs to a
building. Both suits grow out of the
same transaction, and Weeks claims
$48 still due him for the work and
materials furnished.
Mr.. Weeksswas put on the stand and
detailed the work he had done, and
the balance due him.
The defence was that theswork done
by Mr.. Weeks was so unsatisfactory
that Miss Cohen annulled the agree
ment with Mr.. Weeks, and, having
paid him $52, he has been paid all
that his services were worth, il not
more. TO get the job completed after
Weeks left cost her over $780, Miss
Cohen was put on the stand and de-
tailed her side of the case, and she
showed how she had to have the work
done over by Mr.. Blackwood, Mr..
Conover and others.
Frank Conover, contractor, with his
father. Albert Conover, said he saw
the house after Weeks was discharged.
The house was twisted and sagging
down in front. 1t had not been prop
erly raised. Miss Cohen paid them
about 500 for the work and material
they had to furnish in properly repair
ing the house.
John A. ElwelI, a carpenter en-
ployed by Mr.. Conover, corroborated
Frank Conover's testimony.
The famous ''Terrapin case" is set
for trial on June goth.
