new TRIAL
is GRANTED
Public Service Corporations
Offer of $150 Refused by
WaIsh's Lawyer.
IN THE DISTRICT COURT

Judge Lyon in the district court yes
terday afternoon granted new trial in
the suit Of Joseph Walsh VS.. the Public
Service Corporation, and the case will
be heard on April 10. Recently jury
gave the plaintiff verdict for $3.50,
but on the grounds that it was exces-
sive, Clark & Case, of Elizabeth and
Somerville, counsel for the Public Ser
vice, moved for new trial
The matter was argued yesterday af-
ternoon between counsel for the Pub
lie Service and Thomas Brown, who
represented Mr.. Walsh. The Public
Service offered to give the plaintiff
$3.50 in settlement of the suit, but Mr..
Walsh's attorney refused. Judge Lyon
ruled that, while he considered the YER
dict excessive, he would allow it to
stand if the plaintiff would accept the
$3.50, but if not, he would grant the
motion for new trial. Lawyer Brown
still refused the amount and the date
for the re-trial of the case was set for
April Is.
The A. Richards Shoe Company, rep
resented by Lawyer Peter A. Peterson,
obtained judgment for $19.13 against
Leo jacobson by default. A judgment
in replevin, for possession of a horse,
was given the plaintiff by default, in
the case of George A. Hoffman against
John Slovacz, and the suit of Joseph
Cans against Michael Waceresak, was
not moved.
The suit of Louis Vagenas, against
James Christopolus was adjourned un-
til March go. Mr.. Christopelus is man
ager of the Boston confectionery store,
and the plaintiff former employe,
claims that he has over 5000 of his
wages, which he allowed him to take
care of.
The suits of Peter Rasmussen against
A. P. Kennedy and Hans Hanson
against Hans P. Peterson were both
discontinued. Two landlords were Civ
en- judgments for tenacy, and thirteen
cases were adjourned.

company met in the Baptist church to
listen to Mr.. Goodchild, and every one
of them felt more than repaid for brav-
ing the storm. 1t is impossible TO tell

Freholders Pownall, Mundy and

those present at meeting of county
engineers and freeholders and state
road officials in Camden on Wednes-
day, when an official test was made
of asphaltum road binder, which

The tests, which we're of three
kinds, favorably impressed the Mid

State and the Middlesex freeholders
are likely to give 1t a trial on their
county roads. The three kinds seen
at Camden were the Imperial, of

dian oil and the other kind was
Amiecite pavement. In the latter
every stone of the macadam is coat

satisfactory kind, though all the
Kinds gave favorable impression.
The roads inspected were the ons

MAY LURK
IN DEATH MYSTERY
Undertakers Discover Supposed
Bronchitis Victim Has
Throat Cut

On stripping the body of Cornelius
Goodrich. who was supposed to have
died from bronchitis. the officials of
the United undertaking company dis
covered yesterday that the mans
throat had been cut. An investigation
by the police revealed circumstances
peculiar and mysterious.
The first the coroner learned of the
affair was when he was telephoned
by the undertaking company. inform
ing him of the suspicious circumstances
surrounding the case. A hasty inves-
tigation brought out tale of suicide.
but the facts are so conflicting that
the police decided to investigate.
According to the stories told the po-
lice by neighbors. Goodrich lived alone
in refugee shack at 966 C street. and
cut his throat with a razor Monday
night DR.. Thomas w Connolly, 229S
Howard street, they say. was called
into the case. but before he could ar
rive the man was dead. The peculiar
part of the affair is that neither the
pOlice nor the coroner were nOLlQeQ
the death by DIR. Connolly and they
would have been in complete ignor-
ance of it had it not been for the
undertaking company.
A conflicting point about the suicide
story is that the razor which the man
is said to have used was discovered out
side in nearby lot. This would have
necesitated Goodrich walking out of his
home after cutting hfs throat. throwing
away his razor and then returning to
his bed to die. The police were unable
to find DIR. Connolly yesterday.
Goodrich was member OF the. rig
gers and stevedores' union and native
OF Salt Lake City. His wife. Lizzie
Goodrich, from whom he is said to have
been separated for the last eight years,
took charge of the remains and had
them removed to the undertaking par
lors.

Lumber Trade Hampered

During the time that has elapsed
since the rebuilding Of the city was
undertaken. the question of finding
means for discharging the vast amount
OF building material destined for use
here has been one Of constantly in
creasing difficulty Particularly has
this been so with respect to lumber.
The lumber trade is now faced with
great obstacles and heavy burdens for
lack Of room and facilities for securing
the discharge and the handling of its
lumber from vessel and wharf.
we wish also to point your attention
TO the fact that the location and estab-
lishment of yards in the near future will
necessarily be in the district which viii
be most naturally and conveniently
served by custom wharf located at the
point we mention. The location OF the
large yards along the channel win have
IL be changed at no distant day. The
only available locations lie 10 the south
ward. and it is toward the vicinity Of
Central basin that the lumber dealers
must look for the discharge Of their
vessels.
