the meat she was taken ILL., and a physi- |
clan who was called diagnosed the case as
ptomaine poisoning. Carrew g. Kraft, of
Camden, brought suit against the manu-
facturers and not the dealer who sold the
ham. Gaskill & Gaskill, of Camden, fled
demurrer to The plaintiffs declaration
and it was upon the demurrer that the
case was argued before Chief Justice
Gummere and Judges Garrison and Gar
retson Gaskill & Gaskill argued that
there was no law that, according to the
undisputed facts in the case, could hold
the manufacturer, as the sale was not di-
rect from the manufacturer to Miss Tom
linson. Judge Garrison sustains the con-
tention of the attorneys for the defendants,
and states further that while this is the
rule of law, yet if the suit had been
brought against the person who sold the
goods to Miss Tomlinson the construction
of the law would have been different
-Shad fishermen have made little efforts
thus far to prepare their nets for the COM
ing season, which opens with the OILERS
the latter part of this month, and on April
10 with the big fisheries. nor will they un-
til they learn what success the fishermen
in the Delaware Bay are having. Indica-
lions point to late season. according to
experienced fishermen, who say that the
ice will keep the favorite toothsome shad
in the bay, and that it will likely be the
middle of April before any number of fish
are caught Many OILERS say that they
will not fish this season unless there is a
good run, as they have lost money the
last four years. The big net at Washing
ton Park will not be hauled out of the fish
cabin for it's annual overhauling until the
first of April.
During a thick fog on Saturday morn
ing George Clevinger, manager of the
William Barclay farm at Ellisburg, was
seriously injured, the horse he was driv-
ing was killed and his wagon demolished
, in rear end collision with trolley car in
Collingswood. Whether Clevinger did
not hear the approaching car or whether
the slippery condition of the rails prevent
ed the motorman from bringing the car to
stop, has not been ascertained by the
officers of the Public Service Corporation.
Clevinger was caught under the wreckage
of the wagon and was extricated by the
trolley crew. He sustained several lacera-
tons on the head and face. He declined
to be taken to Camden for treatment at
hospital and was placed on an outbound
car and taken to Haddonfield and removed
to his home in carriage.
The RIVER and Harbor bill containing
} an appropriation of $4,000 for dredging
the Delaware river near Trenton and re.
moving Perriwig Bar passed both the
house and senate and is now up to Presi
dent Roosevelt for his signature. There
is no doubt that the president will sign
the bill and within short time Trenton
will be at the head of tide water shipping
on the Delaware. The plans for the
dredging have been prepared by Captain
Sanford, an employee of the government,
who inspected the channel last summer in
company with Congressman Wood and q
number of Trentonians. 1t is the idea to
cut channel straight through the bar,
thus eliminating sharp curve which II
is necessary for the vessels to make at the
present time. 1t is planned to have the
channel eight feet deep at mean low tide,
and with a five-foot tide there will be 1s
feet of water-enough for fairly deer
vessels to pass.
