Operations at the Exeter Machine Works have been indefinitely suspended, resulting in the idleness of 280 men employed there.

Inability of the receivers. Lord Butler Hiilard and H. W. Dunning, secure funds to meet the overdue wages of the employes resulted in the closing down of the plant. Following their appointment, the receivers petitioned Judge Witmer, U.

S. Federal court, by whom they were named, for permission to continue operations. The cdurt made the order requested, with the contingency that the men must be paid the salaries due them. Under the Exleter'e syem, the payroll for the first half of May falls due June 1. A number of the employes Questioned the receivers, who were at the plant yesterday, regarding the overdue payment and were informed of the inability of the receivers to secure funds to meet the pay roll.

Part of the force quit work ed an order that there would be no afternoon, when the receivers post at noon and others during the further work. The night force did not report for duty. The positions of the office employes have also been vacated. The salaries since May 1 are owing to the entire working force. These constitute the first claim against the Exeter Machine Works, the receivers said, and will be paid first.

The plans of the receivers are indefinite, it was learned today. It was reported that there was hope for an immediate purchase of the plant, but nothing could be learned which substantiated this report. An appraisement is now being made, under the receivership. The Exeter is, roughly speaking, a half million dollar plant. Officials of the Bethlehem Steel Works, under which the Exeter had been sub contracting on a large shell order, were in town yesterday.

Tjie Bethlehem people have furnished the entire supplies for executing the shell contract. These will, it was reported, authoritatively, revert to the Schwab concern, unless other arrangements are made. IS Worl dation has been started on the foun for the new $25,000 school building for Duryea borough. ine school is being erected on the plot of ground between the High school building, on Main street, and the Washington building, on Stephenson street. The Hagen Lumber Company has the general contract.

The plumbing work will be done by J. II. Lally, of Olyphant, and the heating by the Wyoming Engineering company, of Wilkesbarre. This school is to be used for manual training and domestic science. This work will be carried on ih; connection with the High school and is the idea of Supervising Principal Kegan.

For some time past Mr. Kegan has advocat ed such a school as he argued tnat every boy could not be a professional man and the girls should be taught how to take care of the home. The teachers for the vocational school will be selected from the corps of teachers and the new scnooi win require the appointment of two other teachers. The teachers will take a course in that particular branch of State College and other summer schools. The school year will close tomorrow.

Closing exercises have been lla nned for each school. They will take place as follows: Washington Building, tonight: Roosevelt Building, tomorrow night: Lincoln, McKinley and Jefferson, tomorrow afternoon; Garfield building, tomorrow morning. The present term has been the most successful in the history of the school, according to Supervising Principal Ke There has bee'n an average ycHirly attendance of 1.800 pupils and "the number of grade failures has been very small.

When the case of Kearney vs. Gal higher was called the plantiff Or her counsel failed to appear, and Judge Woodward, after waiting 10 minutes as required by the court rule, directed the jury to take1 the verdict, it seems that the plaintiff brought an action in replevin to recover posoes sion of a piano which the defendant had.

FOR DEATH OF If In the entire domain of litigation I nothing is so far removed from precis ion in tact or even in law, as the as sessment of damage tor human death or injury.

This comment is made by Judge Fuller today in his opinion sustaining a verdict ot SHOO recovered in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stadulevicz, of Plymouth, against the Lehigh Wil kesbarre Coal Company. The action was for the recovery of damages for the death of the plaintiffs' son, aged 7 years and ten months, who was kill ed on the company's property in I'ly mouth in July, 1912. The boy1 was playing on the grounds of the com pany and was caught in a rope which operated over a shieve wheel and so badly injured that he died a short time after the accident.

The company de nied any negligence and claimed the child was trespassing. A new trial was asked on the ground that the verdict, was excessive. The expenses were proved to be $157, which would leave $743 for earnings. Judge Fuller says: I "On a strictly cold blooded calculation from the evidence, fais was extremely liberal, but we cannot pronounce it to be palpable abuse of the sound discretion which the jury is permitted to exercise in the matter of damages. 'In the case of Cosgrove vs.

Hay, 54 Superior 175, a verdict of $1,000 was sustained on the death of a boy five and one half years old, on testimony no more satisfactory than the present ease affords. In many other cr ses which might be cited, verdicts for even larger amounts have been sustained under.l similar circumstances. "It would be easy in alfost any case to figure a pecuniary profit to a parent from the of an infant child, but on the other hand it is not difficult in some cases to figure loss, widely fluctuating according to evidence, as the latter may affect the judgment of the particular jury, and, of course, the judgment of every jury is more or less tinctured, unconsciously and unavoidably, with sympathy, prejudice or personal experience." The earning capacity or a uoy in his station of life, under the law, miffht begin at the age of twelve, in crease at the age of fourteen, and ap proximate adult wages at the age of sixteen, all of which potentialities the Jury might consider and easily bridge over the small gap of about $400, be tween their verdict and tne estimate of counsel. "At all events, we do not feel justified in granting on this ground alone, a new trial which, with its attendant expensn and uncertainty. Is always a consummation devoutly to be avoided.

1 "Accordingly the motion for a new trial is aenled." THREE K1LLI0D WHEN FREIGHT HITS AUTO. Canton, June 6.
