Newark News-A decision recently an
nounced by the United States Supreme
Court will be Of especial interest in this
State for the reason that there has been
no direct rulings by the New Jersey
courts in similar cases. The decision j:
to the effect that city can compel q
railroad company TO bridge its street
crossings when the street has been estab
lished after the laying of the tracks, just
as it can when the tracks follow the lay
ing out Of the street. The case under
consideration was that of the st. Pau
Minneapolis and Manitoba Railroad Com
pany and the Great Northern Railwa,
Company against the city of Minneapolis
The roads resisted an order from th'
Minneapolis City Council requiring then
to erect bridge over University avenue
in that City, on the ground that tht
street was laid out after the company
had acquired its right of way and had
lads its tracks, which the railroads con
tended imposed on the city the respon
sibility of making the crossing safe. This
contention was overruled by the Mime
sofa Supreme Court, and the finding Of
the State court was upheld by the court
Of last resort in the decision announced
by Chief Justice Fuller.
1t has been mooted question in this
State how far municipality might &c
in the matter of compelling the abolition
Of grade crossings, and there is litagitioH
pending that will have definite bearins
on this matter when the final decision
is reached. The opinion just handed
down by the United States Supreme
Court in the Minneapolis case will en-
courage the friends of the abolition Of
grade crossings at the expense Of The
railroads to believe that their contention.
will be ultimately recognized as correct
by the courts of New Jersey

Last Sunday morning when the church
bells were ringing all were in state
of peace and piety, an automobile whiz-
zed through the streets Of Linwood and,
as a finely bred setter of Samuel Ash
tons was strolling the same way, the
wicked auto put the poor animal out Of
commission. They sped on not caring.

years past for General Grubb to invite
the survivors Of the Twenty third Regi-

older every year, and as the exercises at
Edgewater Park are mostly out of doors,

no valuable prestige with either old
soldiers or civilians because Of his RUM

Human Emotions Stirred by the Ear


Unlike the eye. which informs tht

to an animals shrieks of pain. This i
as it should be, for however wrong tho

DIR. w. II. Thomson in Evcrybody's Mag
