START SUITS FOR BIG
DAMAGES FOR DEATHS.
Lawyer Stricken Brings Action for
Train Victim Feigin's Wife and
for Italian Killed i'm Trench.

Joseph E. Stricken, who represents
Mrs. Jennie Feigin, of II Hall ave-
nue., whose husband. David Feigin,
was killed by a Central railroad train
at the Smith street crossing Decem-
ber 26 last, has entered suit in the
Supreme Court against the railroad
company for $25, 700.
Feigin was crossing the tracks
when his horse and wagon were
struck by an express train, throwing
him out and killing him instantly. A
coroner's inquest was held and the
blame for the accident was placed on
the company, as the engine was
stated to have used no headlight.
Lawyer Stricken also has charge of
the suit of the wife of Pasquale Pig
natore, an Italian who was killed
while at work eXcavating at the Rari-
tan Copper Works for the Grouse
Construction Company. The Italian
was at work in a trench on March 26
last, and was almost instantly killed
by a cave-in. The suit is for 100000.

INCREASE IN
TEACHERS PAY
ENDANGERED
Associations Throughout State
Object to House Bill No 10,
Which Would Change Law.
DIRECT TO MUNICIPALITIES.

Teachers associations throughout
the state are writing in protest
against house bill No. 10, which has
been favorably reported by the COM
mittee. This bill provides for the
giving of the increased money from
railroad main stem taxes to the mu-
inequalities direct, instead of TO the
school authorities, by whom 1t is now
intended, under the Perkins act, to
be used to increase the salaries of
the teachers.
The increase has been agreed up
on basing that action on the money
from the tax funds of the state, and
to devote the money to the munich
palities instead would render the in
crease very vague. The bill Is not
believed to have much chance to pass,
unless the objections of teachers as
sociations and others are disregarded.

trict court, to provide for deficiencies

Mayor Bollschweiler addressed the
Board OF Aldermen last night on the
question of { uncleaned sidewalks,
which was brought up by Joseph Mas
sopust, who complained against the
Lehigh Valley railroad and its neglect
in North Amboy. The mayor said he
stands ready to give orders to the po-
lice department if way can be
found to remedy the conditions.
Alderman Stacey said that the cost
of hiring men to do it is but thirteen
cents for twenty-five foot front, and
as that is hard to collect, he suggest
ed an ordinance whereby property
owners might be fined for failure to
clean walks.
The mayor said there might have
been many falls and decidedly uncom-
Portable conditions under foot the
last few weeks.
Mr. Massopust asked for ashes for
the walks on Parker street and said
he would get up a petition for paw
ing there. He declared that the Le-
high Valley railroad is negligent and
that l.. V. fence extends over. priv
ate land. He also complained of the
drip nuisance under the L. V.
bridges on State street. Alderman
at-Large Pfeiffer said the company
has promised drip pans soon and he
promised that any petitions from
property owners for paving would re-
celve prompt attention.
Alderman Schultz said he had new
er seen any petition for a pavement
there previously, although Mr.. Mas
sopust asserted that one had been
sent in, but not fayorably acted on.
Mr. Massopust was quite vehement in
his denuncioation of the l.. r. R r..
and Of the condition of. Parker street.
He asked for ashes to make making
there decent.

ground that the city ordinances pro-

ance.
