A Days Talk,

ously about the amount of talking we
do in day and how large a factor
mere talk is in the life Of the world for
both good and evil. 1t has been esti
mated that public speaker utters in
one hour, on an average, what, if print
ed, would occupy 10 octave pages. Or
binary conversation Is even more pro-
life.
Let us suppose, says The Winoniam,
that all the talk Of one day be estimated
as equivalent to four hours consecutive
speaking. In single week the amount
would make whit, if printed, would be
an octave Of $50 Pages In 3 year man
would complete SO such volumes. and
In 30 years he would have accumulated
library of 1 500 volumes of his own
talk. What value would most of us
place on such a library? How many
of us could endure to read itP How many
would feel satisfied to have such books

IN THE STREET.
Erie Must Move or Buy
Land.
An Important Decision In Circuit
Court.

A trial of considerable Importance
has been going on in the Circuit court
here since Tuesday, and was COM
pleted Thursday.
The case was from Medina county,
but was tried here to accommodate
the witnesses and attorneys. The
Wadsworth Salt Co. was the plaintiff,
and the Erie Railroad Co., defendant.
Last summer the Erie company be-
gan building a switch track III Wads-
worth village up to Tne Match works,
and in doing so occupied part Of
what the Salt company claimed was
u part Of its premises and a part of
Mill street in front of its property
The railroad people, Oh the contrary,
contended that Mill street was much
farther to the north than when the
proposed switch was located and that
the Salt company was in fact occupy
ing that street with its buildings, and
was, to that extent, trespasser
Judge Kohler granted Il temporary
injunction, but Judge Hayden, upon
final hearing dissolved II, and render
ed judgment against the Salt Co.,
dismissing its petition. The Salt Co.
appealed to the Circuit court but got
no continuation of the injunction, and
the railroad people went on and com
pleted the switch at cost of $4,000.
A large number Of witnesses have
been examined and the decision of the
court Thursday, completely reverses
that of Judge Hayden. 1t finds that
Mill street is just where the Salt Co.
claimed it was, and where it rs now
occupied and used. 1t also fixes the
width of the street at 33 feet,-this
being a point about which there was
much controversy.
The decree orders the Erie company
to either take steps to condemn the
right of way for the switch. within
80 days, or else take up its track. If
this is not done, the injunction against
using it is made perpetual.
