CASE
is POSTPONED
Suit Against the Public Ser
vice Corporation Was
Started Yesterday.
LOST BOTH HIS LEGS

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
New Brunswick, Jan. 14:-The
case of Christian Anderson against
the Public Service Corporation,
which was started yesterday after
noon, was postponed today on ac-
count of the storm.
Mr.. Anderson unbuckled his two
false legs in court yesterday after
noon and passed them around among
the jurymen who are trying his $780,
600 damage suit against the Public
Service Railway Company, for in
spection. He declared that while he
was able to get around on the legs,
they We're not as good as his old ones,
that they tired him out and every
once In a while made his leg stumps
30 sore that he had to lay off for a
few days. One of the legs weighs six
and a quarter pounds and the other
littl eless.
The Anderson suit was started at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon, af-
ter the Perth Amboy smell case had
been completed. Judge Lyon usually
adjourns court for the day at $3.50,
but he wants to finish this case to-
day, as it is the last to be tried here
by him this term. The jurymen not
on this case have been discharged
until called for.
Anderson First Witness.
Anderson was the first witness on
the stand. He said that on Septem-
ber 7, 1906. he left Perth Amboy
about 6:45 o'clock and took car
for his home near Metuchen. At
Fords he was compelled to get off by
stomach trouble. Then he boarded
another car and rode as far as
Bloomfield's corner, where he again
alighted. After short rest he start
ed to walk home. An automobile
passed him, filling his eyes with
dust. He felt something coming be-
hind him, looked around and was
struck by car. He woke up in q
hospital in this city, where one leg
was amputated at the ankle and the
other above the ankle. He spent four
weeks in the hospital, submitting TO
a second operation: Then he went
to st. Vincent's hospital, New York,
where he spent nine weeks and where
more of both legs were cut on, and
the bone OF one of his legs was
scraped, an operation which was
more painful than amputation, he de-
clared.
The Jury.
The following jury is trying the
case: Willis Applegate, Cranbury:
Harry Mcdonald, George Ely, South
Brunswick; Frank O. Nelson, Pisca-
taway; Frank Banker, this city;
Lewis Heisler, Madison; Oscar Bur
lew, South Amboy; Thomas Barn
well, this city; Robert Seagreave,
South Amboy; John H. Gebhardt,
North Brunswick; Charles D. Brown,

whole Country showed Under.


New York, Jan. 14:-With a Bit
terly northeasterly wind intensity
ing the cold, a snowstorm, which
promises to reach blizzard proper
tions before night, reached this city
from the West before daylight to-
day, and before the rush hour
crowds began, water and land traffic
was demoralized. One death was
reported by the police during the
early hours, and many cases OF ex-
haustion were cared for at the hos
pitals. The storm is not confined to
this region alone. From the West
four deaths are reported and unpre-
cedented snowfall is reported from
all parts of the country. The storm
belt reaches from Yellowstone Park
to Boston, and from the Canadian
line to Arkansas. There is every
indication that the storm will last
all day and probably continue dur
ing the night. Railroad traffic IN
the West is greatly hampered, and
numberless cases were reported of
freight passenger trains hopelessly
stalled in snow drifts.

HOLDS CITY IN
STORMY GRIP
Entire Country Snowbo und
and Much Suffering Caus-
ed--Forecast Is Gloomy.

Business and traffic were impeded
today by what gives promise of be-
ing the heaviest snowfall of the cur
rent winter The first flakes of the
storm, which is sweeping the conti-
nent from ocean to ocean, fell late
last night and at noon today there
were no signs of it's abatement. The
snow was heavy and packed under
foot, making walking burdensome.
The weather forecasters predict
more snow or rain tonight and to-
morrow, with drop in the temper
ature.
One year ago today the weather
was cloudy with minimum temper
ature of "a degrees and maximum
of "a degrees.
The trolley cars had trouble this
tracks clear Superintendent Van
Duersen had the snow plow running
continually over the tracks. Traffic
for wagons about town was practi-
cally out of the question and sleighs
were used by the merchants for de-
livering. No sessions were held in
the public schools all day, the
"3-1-3" taps being sounded on the
fire alarm shortly after 8 O'Clock
this morning and at 1890 o'clock
this noon. Fearing that the storm
might be blizzard and be followed
by severe cold weather, many placed
orders for more coal and supplies.
The coal dealers are all rushed.
Most of the trains on the rail-
roads were a little late and the
ferryboat Perth Amboy had some
difficulty in making its trips across
the sound. The snow formed a sort
of foggy cloud over the water, caus-
ing much discomfort and trouble for
those mariners who ventured out.
