RUINED In HEALTH.
Claim Made In Behalf Of Little Re-
beccasIake.
Took Hold OF Electric Wire-$1O,O 900
Against Narrasansett 20. on Trial.

The taking OF testimony in the trial OF the
suit Of Rebecca A. Lake against the Narragan'
sett Electric Lighting Company to recover
$40, ,OO0 for personal injuries. was begun be-
fore Judge Rogers and jury this morning.
The plaintiff, who is "A child six years old,
claims TO have been badly burnt by taking
hold of an improperly insulated electric wire
belonging TO the defendant company on roof
at Alb Westminster street, on Aug. O, 1895. IL
is also claimed that as "a result OF the shock
the little girl has been c,mpletely ruined In
health and her nervous system badly shat
tered.
The mother Of the child, who has been di-
vorced from its fathe., and is now Mrs Re-
becca A. l.. Alden. and resides at Swansea,
Mass, on the witness stand denied that the
little one was subject TO attacks of ST. Vitus
,dance before the accident, or that she, wit
ness, was subject to epileptic fits. Mrs. Alden
did claim that a short time after the burning
the injured girl lost her speech and hearing
and was greatly troubled by her heart. The
witness did not believe that the lacerations
on her child's hands could have been made by
a hot coal or by falling down and cutting
them on an iron spike.
DIR. Bennett OF Pawtucket, testified to treat
ing the injured child at the Homeopathic dis
pensary in this city, and described its symp'
toms as about the same as did Mrs. Alden.
DIR. J. B. Greene was called as an expert and
testified that while not an electrician he had
some acquaintance with the effects OF light
ming on men and cattle and he thought the
effects of "A shock from live wira would be
much similar. he was asked II the burns on
the Lake child's hands could not have been
-, a,,A d raxvaa
the coal was held long enough to roast the
hand. In answer to another question by
counsel for the defendant, he said he had
never heard Of case of an electric shock
which was not followed by death that any
bad results followed. but at tho same time
he thought the injuries from which the Lake
child suffered were due to the shock caused
by the wire that burnt her hands.

an alarm to the authorities in Norwalk.
The body was badly mutilated and it was
first thought that she had been run over

for his massaores OF Christians; have
demonstrated with him, threatened
him, and have striven to discover n
plan by which they could do the
very thing Greece is now doing. and
yet maintain the peace among them
selves.
Yet now these very six enemies
OF Turkey are called upon To defend
Turkey, and to disarm Greece be-
cause Greece is attempting to aid the
Christians of Crete. If they assist
Turkey in this crisis they stultify
themselves, eat their own words and
bring down upon themselves the
public wrath which they themselves
have labored TO create. The public
opinion against Turkey in effect pre-.
vents them from protecting the Sui
tan against Greece, y6t if they do not
stop Greece war can hardly be avert
ed. And If they encourage Greece
war assuredly can not be averted.
Taken altogether, no situation so
complicated, so fraught with danger
and the possibility of surprises, has
arisen in modern history. War may
not come at once, but the last hope
of longer tolerating the Turk IN
Europe is conceded to be gone, and
peace cannot be assured until the
map of Europe is radically changed,
either by rivers of blood or by un-
selfish agreement.
But the nations of Europe are not
unselfish.-Commercial Tribune.
