Mr.. AND MRS. HAGBERG
THROWN FROM A BUGGY

Negligence on the part of the men
who are employed in the highway de-
partment in not providing lights SO
drivers of wagons and carriages could
see where bricks were dumped on Mill
bury Street, was the cause of an acct
dent to Representative John G. Hag-
berg and Mrs. Hagberg, who were
driving down Millbury Street, yester-
day afternoon, between 5 and $40
O'Clock. The accident happened neal
Esther Street on Millbury Street, and
was caused by Mr.. Hagberg driving
the horse on the load of bricks which
had been dumped there for the men
who were laying the sidewalk, and as
the right hand side of the carriage was
four feet higher in the air than the
other, Mr. and Mrs. Hagberg were
Hagberg was thrown out first and his
wife landed on him, thus saving her
from more serious injury.
Mr. Hagberg said that the horse was
trotting along at about five miles an
hour, and the first thing he knew he
was in the street and his wife lying
beside him and moaning as is she were
seriously hurt. The horse stopped and
made no attempt to run, thus prevent
ing a serious accident Mr.. Hagberg
helped his wife into the buggy and
went to the store of Michael Gettings,
where he telephoned to the police sta
ton and notified the officer in charge
that no lights were on the bricks after
which he called a doctor to attend his
wife, whom it is thought is seriously
hurt. Mr.. Hagberg had hard work to
move around and he thought at first
he had sprained his leg. but on exam
ination it was found that beside a few
bruises and a shakngup, he was all
right.
When Mrs. Hagberg was examined
at her home, the doctor could not say
how seriously she was hurt, but he
would examine her injuries again to-
day. Mrs. Hagberg had to be carried
from the buggy into the house when
she reached home, and it is thought
that some bones may be broken. The
highway department has been putting
in brick sidewalk on the right side of
Millbury Street and the bricks have
been dumped in the street near the
curbing, but when they were dumped
in the street yesterday afternoon no
light was put near them as a warning
to people after dark.

WANTS POSTAL CLERKS
TO BE RESPONSIBLE

Washington, Nov 25.-Third Assist
ant Postmaster General Edwin C. Mad
den in his annual report recommends
the consolidation of third and fourth
class mail matter an increase of the
limit of indemnity for the loss of regis
tered matter from $40 to 500, and that
postal employees be made liable for
the value of registered matter lost
through their carelessness.
The total postal revenues for the year
from all sources were Sill, 631, 1913, being
$3,923,7 27 less than the expenditures.
This is exclusive of the cost OF trans
porting the malls over the subsidized
Pacific railroads. The total value of
stamped paper and stamp books issued
during the year was s104, 7S5.9S7. The
issue of postage stamp books is re-
garded as successful experiment.
The 1888, 429 stamp books issued have
cost the department $4.69 per 1000 to
manufacture. There were 659, 614, 800
postal cards issued. The hope is ex-
pressed that the next annual report
will show the second class of mail
practically free from at least the larger
abuses to which it is subject and which
are considered in the report. This re-
formation, the report says, may make
3ne-cent postage practicable at no dis
tant date.
