Railroad Contractors
Lay Off Men at Madison
Special to the Evening Star.
MADISON JuIv 20 uvda


MADISON, July 3O.-Hyde, Mac
Farlin and Burke. the contractors
for the Lackawanna railroad in ELI
minating the curve between Madison
and Chatham, have laid off some of
their men and will dispense with the
rest of them the first of the month
for some time. This is caused by the
refusal of the borough authorities to
grant the contractors a permit to
cross Sampson avenue with their
temporary tracks.
The only reason they need to cross
this street at present is to- make a
fill in some low land, across large
culvert. in order ito get the small
trains to the freight Station for sup
plies BY doing this work now the
contractors would be accomplishing
part of the heavy fill necessary and
keeping their men busy until it is
time to begin carting dirt to South
Orange. The present gang is EN-
ployed in laying the large tracks to
the new right of way for the large
trains to gain entrance when it be-
comes time to cart dirt to South Or
ange. Heretofore only a three-foot
gauge track has been laid over the
cutoff course

basement the laundry is located. The
rear basement holds the engine and
boiler rooms Here there is situated
power plant which will supply the
entire almshouse with light and heat.
The second floor of this building con-
tains two chapels.
Between the chapels on this floor
are sixteen rooms, originally designed
for the use of the employees. Since
the construction of the almshouse,
however, it has been decided that
there will be but little use for all of
these rooms, and it is thought
that they may be adapted for
occupancy by women who have
been abandoned with children. While
their cases are pending in the courts
they and their children may be
housed here.
Surrounding the almshouse build
ings are eighty-one acres of good
land 1t is planned to use this as a
farm, producing the vegetables that
are to supply the tables. A supply
of agricultural implements has been
purchased and will be used by
the inmates. There will be carpenter
and plumbing shops, where inmate
who are physically able will make all
necessary repairs to the plant. The
ground will be laid out after the fash
ion of the poor farm of New York
city at Staten. Island and the same
system will be adopted.
The architect who planned the
buildings and supervised their con-
struction is Joseph b. O'Rourl1e.

She has filed the action under the en-

The case is peculiar in that Barn

company, but was killed in an acci-

Whether this condition viii affect the
suit for compensation under the liza
bility act is question yet to be de-
termined. So far there has been no
precedent.
The act provides for the support Of
an 'incapacitated brother or sister"
There seems to be u question as to
just what this phrase means. 1t has
never been officially interpreted. it is
said
One view is that it might be the
meaning of the act that the inca
pacltated sister would have TO be a
cripple or mentally deficient or physi-
cally unable to support herself to
come within the scope of the act. In
the case of Miss Barnhart. her brother
supported her. The accident robbed
her of this support. On that ground
she declares she is an 'ineapacitated
