Large Judgment Affirmed.

The supreme court has affirmed
the Judgment for SIS, 7ss rendered
in the case of Mrs. Strader in Mon
roe county for injuries sustained by
being thrown from her bicycle over
the side of the bridge crossing
Brodhead's creek where there was
no proper guard rail. The evidence
disclosed that loose plank was the
primary cause OF the accident and
that the absence Of a proper guard
rail &C that point contributed TO the
damage by allowing her to be pre-
cipitatsd on the stones below where
her back was broken. This verdict
emphasizes how important It is for
officials 20 be watchful lest by their
neglect they not only endanger the
safety OF people but render she town
or county liable to damages. The
public has a right to demand
such protection and if its servants
are indifferent to Its interests some
body may suffer severe injury aud
the body politio be subjected to pay
ment Of large damages. It is prob
able that this accident will cost the
county Of Monroe in damages and
costs fully &20,O and yet consider
ing the severe injury Of the woman
the verdict was very moderate.

Lord Pauncefote. g. G. B., g. G.
NJ. g., came to the United States as
the diplomatic representative of his
government in 1898 and the whole
course of his career as British am
bassador at Washington has been
decided success. He with Secre-
tary Olney drafted the gener 4 ar
bitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, which
treaty was the forerunner of the
great work in the interest of peace
accomplished at the Hague conven-
tion. His final work, and the one
for which he will be best remem-
bered, was the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty by which the United States
and Great Britain reached an AMIGA
bic agreement In regard to the con-
struction of an isthmian canal.
While representing a government
which receives credit for being most
aristocratic in its tendencies, Lord
Pauncetote was a very democratic
man and had endeared himself to
the many in Washington with
whom he came in almost daily con.
tact. There is some talk Of adjourn.

Improper Use Of Streets.

Placing lumber on streets or other
material which might occasion an
injury to persons. travelling them
should be prohibited. There is no
excuse for this and there is no rea
son why the taxpayers should be
involuntarily placed in a position
where they may be subjected to the
payment Of damages for injury re-
ceived in such manner. The streets
a-e for unobstructed public use and
not for private accommodation and
