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. Nancy Pfaff --------------3B7A3DC899D3B656B3B95F2B--
