New York, 1895
On the 26th of September, 1892, Joseph E. Morrison, postmaster at Clarenceville, was struck on the head by a plank which fell from a car on the trestle at Woodhaven Junction. He received injuries which have crippled him for life. He sued the New York and Rockaway Beach railroad company for $25,000 damages. The case was on trial last week for three days, and on Friday afternoon the jury awarded Morrison $5,000. Ex-District Attorney Fleming was his counsel.
