LACKAWANNA WON THE SUIT
New York Farmers Claim That the
Tracks Caused Severe Flood.
INVOLVED MANY THOUSANDS
After Five Days of Spirited Litigation and
Expert Testimony the Judge Took
the Case from the jury and
Released the Company.

A litigation which terminated Friday
in Livingston county, N. Y, included the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad as defendant and renders i'm
probable further action of large num-
Der of land owners whose farms were
claimed to have been damaged by flood
to the extent of many thousands of dol
lars through the building of the COM
pany's line of road. The circumstances
are peculiar and interesting.
The suit just ended was begun last
week Monday in Genesee before Judge
Yeomans. John E. White, the plaintiff,
was represented by Attorney Hastings,
of Mount Morris, and eX-Judge Nash, of
Batavia. The defendant company was
represented by such eminent counsel as
Attorneys John j, Wilburn, of Buffalo,
and Charles j. Bissell of Rochester. In
tense interest was attached TO the case
from the fact that it's result bore upon
suits which might follow in case the
plaintiff was successful. However, the
case was taken from the jury and q
decision made that the company was
not liable.
District of Semi.Annual Flood.
When the Lackawanna system was
extended to Buffalo the company leased
the New York, Lackawanna and West
ern road, which traversed the Genesee
valley. In the spring and fall Of nearly
every year the valley to the distance of
six or seven miles, and for an average
width of mile, would be overflown.
In 1889 the region was visited by an
unusually severe food, which created
great damage, and the cause was at
tributed to the company by the plaintiff,
Mr. White. The amount of damages
was not specified.
The line of road running west crosses
the Canaseraga creek, about six miles
from the creeks intersection with the
Genesee river, and runs parallel with
the smaller stream all the distance
At the time of the alleged damage the
tracks and embankment separated the
stream from the flooded district. The
plaintiffs claim was, in substance, that
the company had not provided for the
passage Of the receding waters through
its embankment and was the cause OF
serious injury to the farm lands, which
were submerged for four days. In de-
fense the company proved that it only
took thirty hours for the water to over
flow the land, and it had provided sufIi-
cient sluiceway for it to recede, in the
same length of time
After five days of spirited trial and
expert testimony of engineers. Judge
Yeomans took the case from the jury
and decided the plaintiff had no cause
of action.

COLD FOOD FOR BREAKFAST.
Why the Early Meal in England
differs From That in America

The English breakfast Is d lfeeli mo-
understood by US. 1t may be served IN
the dining-room or in the library. IL ~, Is
more often ION CALI than en- ISlliliii .5
and there is a total absence, even III
the highest circles, of formally IN dress
or in service. The viands are, for the
most uart. cold. The English VIII tell
Won that this is because they nave
learned that cold meats are more al
gestible than hot, and that it IS vulgar
IN eat a heavy meal early IN the Gay
blrt a shrewd observer in the New YORK
Times attributes their preference 10 a
combination of lazy servants and old
ia shioned stoves, which renders 1t diff
ficI1lt to get heavy meal early in the
day.v Where hot dishes are served
they are apt. to be minced veal, or a
few thin. crisp slices Of Irish bacon.
These. with new-laid eggs, invariably
boiled or steamed, which latter is done
at table, are all that are within reach.
The cold meats, consisting of ham,
tongue, ''collared head" etc, are plac-
ed on the sideboard. AS no servant is
expected to be in attendance at this
meal, the gentlemen of the family go
back and forth from the table to side
board, serving those who ask for help
ings. The thoughtless, uninitiaited
American might object to such confu-
sion and inconvenience, but John Bull
delights in an affectation of simplicity,
and accompIishes- informality in his
usual clumsy fashion. Such a con-
yenience as a table bell is an unknown
article of furnishing. Should the Sery-
ant by any chance be wanted when out
of the room, even at dinner, the mis-
tress will rise from her chair and cross
