FLEMlNGTON WINS IN SUPREME COURT

There has been filed in the Supreme
Court an opinion setting aside the yer.
dict of III 1926 secured by the estate of
Robert Killgore and others Of Elem.
ington against the village of Fleming
ton. The snit WAS brought to recover
for damages alleged to have been sns-
tanned by the plaintiffs property, To-
Gated on Main street, Pennington, by
raising the grade of the street in front
of the premises about fifteen inches.
In the Hunterdon County Court the
jury rendered verdict giving the
damages of $l,925.
The village appealed and the ques-
ton before the Supreme Court was
whether the evidence sustained the
verdict below.
The decision is that the evidence
was not of character to warrant such
verdict, and therefore it must be set
aside.
The opinin reviews the testimony OF
William s. Riley, A. G. Hulsizer and
Joseph V. Smith, and then says YER
dict resting on such testimony as they
gave has practically no legal support.
Riley, who was called as real es-
tate expert, claimed the value of the
property had been reduced $4,000 by
the change in grade. Hulsizer also
testified as to the value of the proper
ty, while Smith, who was tenant of a
store on the premises. declared his
profits had been decreased from $75
to 300 n year

FREE BRIDGES.

The project for free bridges in the
Legislature this winter seems not to
make much progress. Representative
Marvin, of Pike County, Pa, is said
TO have bill pending to cooperate
with the legislation enacted in this
state, and Senator Grim, of Bucks
County, is also said to have bill pend
ing which will authorize an appropri-
alton in ease the joint commission of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey should
agree To he authorized To act either this
winter or next But all things con-
sidered, action taken on these bills
seems TO be tied up. In Pennsylvania
they have the abolition of toll roads
and lots OF other legislation which will
require large expenditure. And in this
state, even if Pennsylvania legislation
should be favorable, inland waterways,
ocean boulevards, state school tax and
many other things would seem TO tie
up any possible appropriation for the

Our State Blind.

New Jersey cares for its INDECENT
blind in institutions in other States.
The appropriation for last year was $751;
900, and there was paid to the New
York Institution for the Blind $6,o,S.7l
and to the Pennsylvania Institution for
Blind. at Philadelphia, $s,S46.so. Ac-
cording to the report of the Governors
commission appointed last year to in
vestigate the condition of the blind in
New Jersey, about one person in every
two thousand is blind and the total
number of the blind in New Jersey is
above two thousand. The commission
has been exceedingly painstaking, and
its report furnishes invaluable informa-
ton tor intelligent legislation, 1t is
well recommended that the State should
look 70 causes and beginnings of blind
ness, one OF the worst Affections of the
human race. Detective vision among
children should be dealt with promptly
and scientifically. Infant blindness
should be guarded against.

watching the departing train for a mo

sympathy or comfort from German

Will Continue to Do Things.

When Theodore Roosevelt concludes
his term on March :, and lays down his
public duties, to be taken up by Will
liam Howard Taft, he will find new
place for himself. He will be known
in private life by the title of foremost
citizen" That he will fill such a role
with marked credit, and in way to re-
main in the limelight, is to be admitted
His first step will be in the direction of
starting for Africa, on pleasure bent.
From what everybody knows of Theo-
dore Roosevelt it is anticipated that he
will attain new prestige both as a trav-
eler and as a hunter OF big game. He
is not to be set down as mere pros
pective slayer OF animals, but as n hun
ter with some definite end in view.
Should he be tavored-that is, If the
usual Roosevelt luck" continues to
prevail-he is to add new and very
interesting chapter to his life's history.
His hunting expedition ended, as lee
turer in Berlin he is next expected to
the fore.
Then, later on, he will become an
editor of III. Outlook, a publication
with policies and general views in COM
pletc harmony with the retired Presi-
dent. In the meantime, as a writer of
personal stories of the hunt in Africa,
he will appear to the public in a role
he has adopted at intervals for years
versatile magazine writer whose words
are always read with deep interest.

pear from the sight OF men 81 long rs

1t may seem early to begin an anti
frecracker crusade, yet that's exactly
what they are doing in New York, and
if it isn't unreasonable for Manhattan
Island it isn't any too soon for New
Jersey to take the subject under con-
sideration. Every succeeding year
all the large cities take new measures
to stop use of tirecrackers and danger
GUS explosives on Independence Day.
This is to save the fingers, hands,
arms, legs, eyes and lives of children,
and to prevent the burning of many
thousands of dollars worth of proper
ty. And any campaign for safe and
sane Fourth of July must, to be sue
cessful, be commenced early in the
year.

along Beacon street, in Boston, and sat
down YEARLY upon one of the marble
steps Of handsome residence. The
owner of the house at lower win
dow watched him for some time as he
sat with his bewhiskered chin sunk
upon his breast in an attitude Of de.
lection. an expression of utter disgust
upon his face. At last he opened his
mouth and said in a husky and can
tankerous voice:

There was another long silence.
Then suddenly he arose and said de-
