County Court.

The April Term of County Court
opened at Hyde Park on Tuesday
morning, Judge Powers presiding,
Judges Waite and Guyer associates,
and Lewis Loveriestein, of Troy, n.
Y, reporter. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Z. j. Ward. The jury and Off
GERS were duly sworn and dose of
wholesome advice administered by the
court. The jury calendar showed sew
enteen cases for trial. All of them,
excepting the cases of Butts Us. Cass
and Malanson as. Fletcher, were
either continued, left with the court,
or otherwise disposed of by the par
ties. The trial of the case Butts Us.
Cass began directly after recess, and
will probably occupy the court for two
or three days. The case of Malanson
as. Fletcher may follow, though it is
as likely to be continued. The indi-
cations are that two or three State
cases will be tried, probably the cases
State Us. Whipple, liquor, and State
Us: Amber. Both will prove inter-
esting and will come on the last of the
week. The court room was well filled
during the day, and the attendance of
attorneys from other counties was
large. The term will very likely close
this week.

An expensive accident occurred on
the Lake Road at the Rider trestle
Monday morning. The butter and
stock train, due at this place about four
O'Clock, left the track just before
reaching the trestle, the derailment
evidently occurring about midway of
the train. The train did not leave
the road bed until we'll on to the tres
tie, when four cars went down and the
caboose was twisted off the forward
trucks, but luckily remained on the
track. Of the cars that went off one
was loaded with corn, another with
oats, the third empty, and the fourth
butter and eggs. The latter was
turned over but not badly injured.
The two cars containing corn and oats
were completely demolished, corn,
oats, splinters, iron rods, and trucks
being we'll mixed. The trestle was
badly used up, many of the heavy
timbers being broken off and one side
entirely torn away for distance of
fifty feet. No one injured. The dam
age is estimated at $4,000. A fami-
ly living very near the trestle evident
y thought their time had come, but
were bent on escape if possible. The
husband gave the alarm and the wife
caught up the two children and jumped
out of the back window.
