AN INTERESTING SUIT.

The lawsuit of Martha A. Case
and William Case against the d. L.
& w. r. R. Co. has occupied the at
tention of the court thus far this week.
Mrs. Case alleges that she was allow
ed to get off the cars at Berwick be-
low the station, the brakeman not
having announced the station. She
claims that the conductor stopped the
train and let her off some distance be-
low the platform, and that in getting
back to the station she fell down and
was seriously injured, and has suffered
ever since. This happened in August,
1894. She was on her way from her
home in Michigan to visit friends in
this county. Her ticket was to Blooms
burg but she told the conductor she
wanted to stop at Berwick. He took
her ticket and check and said he
would arrange it, and she says she
didn't see him again. She says that
she didn't know when they reached
Berwick, as it was not announced,
and they had left the station before
she learned that it was Berwick. Then
calling the conductor, he stopped the
train and let her off as before stated.
In December, 1894, she brought suit
for injuries to herself, and her husband
sued for loss of her services.
The defense alleges that the station
was announced; that she was asleep
or for some reason did not get off al
the proper place; that the train was
stopped with the last car tapping the
station platform, and Mrs. Case was
helped by brakeman, and escorted
to the platform, and then the train
went on. Because of sea-sickness, or
thick veil over her face, she fell of
the edge of the platform and was
bruised. The defense also allege that
Mrs. Cases present condition is moi
owing to injuries resulting from the
fall, but, because of womb disease
that has not been properly treated.
The jury were taken up to Berwick
on Monday afternoon to view the
ground, and again on Wedn esday
evening to see it at night, accompanied
by Judge Ikeler and the counsel IN
the case.
Mrs. Case is represented by C. G.

THE VOTE IN BLOOMSBURY.
W. o. Holmes Elected President Of the
Town Council. Other Successful Can
didates.

There was more interest manifested
at the polls on Tuesday, than has
been shown at any spring election for
a number ofyears. There being three
full tickets in the field, the result was
in doubt until the vote was counted.
Holmes for President of Council had
things quite easy. The principal con-
test was for Poor Overseers. Ugly
rumors, concerning the different can
didates had been circulated around,
and as result the fight for that place
was very exciting. Following is the
result by wards:
