HAVE TO PAY

New Brunswick, Nov. 16.-That
the Board of Freeholders will be
sued by the sister of Solomon Jacobs,
who was killed by the falling Of the
bridge at East Bound Brook on Nov
ember 1, is almost certain.
In fact, Miss Jacobs, a sister of the
deceased, in her home on Riverside
Drive, New York, said as much yes
terday.
Miss Jacobs, like her sisters, is
disinclined to start legal proceedings,
but feels deeply what she considers
was criminal neglect on the part of
the Freeholders in not having made
the bridge safe. And, upon the ad-
vice of friends of her brother, she
believes she and her sisters should
sue the county officials if for no 9TH
er reason than to make them feel
their duty to the public's protection,
The accident happened as Mr.. ia
cobs was riding in an automobile
driven by its owner, Mrs. Jeanette
Neil, of Somerville, a family friend.
Mrs. Neil, who escaped with but a
shock, says she was crossing the
bridge, when 1t caved in and threw
WI. JANUS anu hcloOil ihto INV wa
ter, killing Mr.. Jacobs. 1t is likely
that she will also sue the county, for
her injury and the loss Of her auto
mobile. Representatives OF the ia
cobs family and Of Mrs. Neil have
been taking measurements and pho
%tographs OF the wrecked bridge.
The Board of Freeholders has been
doing the same, and will contest any
suit that may be brought, on the
ground that Mrs. Neil was at fault
in the matter and her striking the
side of the bridge caused it to col
lapse.

T he Baby show.

Our city editor, being crusty old bachelor, resisted all persausions to attend the Baby Show given by the ladies of the Presbyterian Church, at the courthouse yesterday afternoon, given as reason that he did not wish to go in print as saying one baby was prettier than the other-hence our meager report of this to- be-remember- ed event.
 At an early hour the music of the babies broke the stiffness which al ways surrounds the Temple of Justice. The babies came from all directions, by one, twos and threes, on foot, in arms, buggies, carriages, etc., until 2s sweet (not the city editors word, little babies and their attendants fill. ed the courthouse.
 We have endeavored to find out the names of the winner, but failed, and will just say all the babies were enti- tied to prizes. The managers realized S37 by the show.
