T. J. silk,s Suit for sas. 900.

The hearing in the case Of Thomas J.
Silk vs.. the Grand Trunk railway for
damages, was begun before Judge
Whitehouse in the attorneys room, City
Building, Saturday. 1t will be remeii-
bered that some months ago coal run at
Fish Point, belonging to the railroad,
broke down by some means, burying a
number of men in the debris. Silk was
the most seriously injured, the others
escaping with bruises. and he subse-
quently sued the company for 1925, 1000
damages. A. A. Strout, the solicitor
of the Grand Trunk is counsel for the
company, and Symonds. Snow & Cook
appeared for Silk.
Doctors Dana, Hunt and Fessenden
were called by Judge Symonds. the sub
stance of their testimony being that the
man. although being badly Injured, was
not permanently disabled from all work,
but could never do any heavy lifting,
etc., the injuries sustained being mostly
muscular.
In the afternoon the defence intro
duced in evidence a photograph taken
after the wreck, and also witnesses who
saw the accident. Drs. Weeks, Merrill
and Gordon were called and testifined
substantially to the same effect as the
other medical expects that in their opin-
ion Mr.. Silks injuries were muscular
and that ne would continue to improve
in the future
The road admits it's liability in the
case and therefore this hearing is to de-
termine the amount of damages.

Chicken Dinhtharia.

Chicken diphtheria is now thought to be
biologically distinct from the human dis
ease. But the condolences of the two oc-
curing simultaneously are very strange.
In the Greek island of Skiatos, for in
stance, where diphtheria was unknown, a
sudden epidemic attacked the town, which
was traced to house to which turkeys
had been brought from Salonica. All these
turkeys but one had died from fowl diph-
iberia, and the survivor was found suffer-
ing from paralysis Of the feet. But the
part played in the spread of diphtheria by
animals must be small in comparison to

Several impressive incidents marked
the day. One was the visit of a large
number of maidens from Transyl-

deposited many wreaths of flowers on
the casket. The visit of the veteran
hussars also attracted much attention.
The 500 inhabitants of Czegled, who
walked in body the long distance
from there to Buda Pesth IN order to
pay their last token of respect and
love to the great Hungarian arrived
safely, and their visit to the hall was
one of the noteworthy incidents of
the day. The streets were thronged
the whole night with constantly ar

When the funeral services at the
museum had been concluded, the coffin
was conveyed to the funeral car, to
which were attached eight horses
covered with mourning. In the pro-
cession were twenty special cars,
neral wreaths.
Everybody wore mourning, and the
city presented scene that was never
before witnessed here.
As the procession moved along
choirs sang national airs and Kossuth
songs. As it passed the opera house
thousands of persons massed upon the
steps suddenly Joined in the Kossuth
hymn. From the opera house on there
was an intermittent rising of patri-
otto songs from the populace.
Throughout the march from the ma

behind the coffin. They were sur
