To Get Possession of a Road

Asbury Park, NJ, July 3- The old turnpike between this place and the
resorts lying on the coast south of here has for many years been in very
bad condition. It is owned by the old Deal and Squan Bridge Turnpike
Company, though it has long been virtually abandoned by its owners.

An information in the nature of a quo waranto has just been filed by the
committee of Neptune Township in the name of the State to have the road
formally abandoned and its control vested in the Overseer of Roads. The
papers were served yesterday on James A. BRADLEY, who is the contolling
stockholder. It is understood that no contest will be made, as the turnpike
has long since failed to pay.

Criminal Carelessness

New Haven, July 3- Coroner Eli MIX, who has been investigating the recent
accident of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad finds that the
accident of was cause by the criminal carelessness of Thomas SHIELDS, a
section boss. SHIELDS was in charge of a gang of men repairing the track
where the accident occurred. The way train passed the spot in safety, and
Coroner MIX thinks SHIELDS laid out too much work to be done before the
arrival of the limited express, and is of the opinion that the new rails
which were laid after the way train had passed were only partially spiked.
SHIELDS could have easily flagged the train. The matter is now in the hands
of State Attorney DOOLITTLE.

Canal Laborers Must Go

Albany, July 3- Supt. of Public Works SHANAHAN has received the data he
requested from the canal officials under him, and has come to the
conclusion that nearly six hundred of the twelve hundred men employed on
the canals will have to be dropped. This is because the law providing $2 a
day for laborers makes it impossible to continue the old force with the
appropriation he has. He says he has moved carefully in the matter and will
discharge the men judiciously.
