AN IMPORTANT CASE.


The first trial of case brought against
the Central Vermont railroad for damages
arising out of the fatal railroad disaster
at Hartford, little over two years ago,
began in the county court at Burlington
Monday. The suit is brought by the ad-
ministrator of the estate of j. y. Stone
of Burlington, who was killed in the
disaster, and the amount of damages
claimed is 5000 The matter of the
roads liability is thus brought to test for
the first time, but there have been a great
many claims beside this one presented
Some of the ablest lawyers in the State
have been at work on the case, and the
plaintiff has the dispositions of - witness
ses to offer. A. \. Hall of ST. Adams
opened the case for the plaintiff. and was
followed by Mr.. Hard of Burlington.
The latter made statement concerning
the movements of Mr.. Stone, and claimed
that the railroad company were respon-
sible for the accident on account of the
of the roadbed, poorly con-
structed cars, and improperly equipped
train, and the negligence on the part OF
the employees. c. w. Writers of st. Al
bans opened the case for the defense, and
said they would be able to show that the
roadbed at the bridge was especially per-
feet, that the cars in the ill-fated train
were substantially built and equipped
with the most approved appliances, and
that the trainmen were trustworthy and
experienced men. The president and
vice-president of the Central Vermont
road were present at the opening of the
case, and the trial will last at least two
weeks and probably longer. Gov. Dill.
lingham is one of the counsel for the
plaintiff
