There was blasting heavy enough TO
break the windows and shake the

tion with the proceedings brought by
his mother. Mrs. Clementine B. Runyon,

were dangerous and noisy.
Mrs. Runyon is the widow of Chan,
eellor Runyonje time ambassador

in Somerset county near the scene of
the companyas enterprise on the other
side of the Morris county line.
II was in answer TO a question put
by A. NJ. Beekman that Mr.. Runyon
told about the effects of the hastings.
and the witness added hat there were
as many as thirty-fve to forty ex-
plosions a day.
What did you observe with reference
to the s~tones?" he was asked.
There were a great many" was the
answer. 81 nave seen stones fall in
our lot and ON the roof of our house as
the result of the blastings."
Did o ever pick up any of these
stones?"
Yes. sir; September is last a large
stone struck the barn n came within
eleven feet of where l was standing
The witness produced a stone which
ne said he picked up at the time and
told him how he had made a complaint
to william Bray. the manager of the
| company, about the effect of the blast
ings.
HE only laughed at me-" Mr.. Run
yon testified.
Then, when he complained to Du
Four. who is the contractor who does
the actual blasting. that man. accord
ing to the witness. merely remarked
that he was working under orders and
was doing the best he could.
Mr.. Runyon in the course Of the ex-
animation characterized the effects of
some of the blasts as being quite like
an earthquake"
