E4G1N SUES RAILROAD.

The case Of John W. Eagan vs.
Central Vermont Railway Company,
which has just been entered in
county court is interesting from the
circumstances upon which the action
is founded. The plaintiff lives in
Middlesex and on June 10, 1902,
owned saw mill on small stream,
near Middlesex village. On that day
terrific rain-sto swept over this
section, doing great damage in Mid
dlesex, Worcester, Montpelier, and
some in adjoining towns Mr. Eagan' 8
mill, with the machinery and large
amount of lumber, both sawed and
in the log, were swept away by the
water. He now brings this suit to
recover $50, 600 from the Centarl YER
mont Hallway Company, claiming
that his loss was really due to the
negligence of the railroad in not
having a sufficiently large water way
built through the high embankment,
which the railroad made across the
narrow valley below the Eagan mill,
Because of this too small water way
through the embankment Mr., Eagan
claims the stream WAS partially
damned at the time of the shower,
set back onto his mill, and took it
out. Senter & Senter are attorneys
for the plaintiff.

BURIED IN DITCH.

While George Reed and Robert
Sawyer were at work for the city of
Barre on North Main street, ON Friday
afternoon, digging in ditch the earth
suddenly caved in burying the former
as far as his hips and the latter to
his shoulders. Mr.. Reed was extri-
Gated from his uncomfortable position
in few minutes but it took over q
half hour to dig ont Mr.. Sawyer, who
was in terrible agony, He would
shout every time anyone touched him.
Several physicians were summoned
and when the work Of digging Sawyer
out was completed he was taken to
the new hospital in the new Bolster
block, which is not far distant.
An examination showed him to be in
pretty bad shape. Both legs were
broken below the knee, one in two
places and the knee of one leg was
badly lacerated. and damned. He
passed as comfortable a night as pos
sible and the physicians believe he
will recover.
The accident occurred about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. The men
were working removing an old sewer
and the ditch was about five feet
deep. A passing car is supposed to
have caused the dislodgment of the
earth which resulted so disastrously
for Sawyer. The ditch was about
eight feet from the track.

Origin of City Plans.

All cities, with few exceptions, trace
the origin of their plan to the inclosed
camp, and many still show marked
features of primitive Notifications. In
all early scheme for defense the in
closed square was considered the best.
From the time when wagons were
merely parked on the plain to the time
when buildings were constructed with
blank walls to the enemy, and their
facades to the open square, this plan
has been universally adopted. and
many Of the great squares or market
places of great cities still show unde-
niable evidences of these precautions
for defense. In the old city Of Brus-

The Sturdy Man of .JaDan.

The average Jap we see in Europe
gives no fair idea of the physique of
his people. He no more represents the
average man of his people than does
the boulevardier represent the French
peasant.
The average japanese man, while
not tall, gives one the impression of
being probably the hardest man ON
earth. He lives perpetually in the
open air and on the simplest food. His
home consists of paper screens, which
never shut the air wholly out and are
always open a great part Of the day.
He is hardy because he has been in
ured to the most extreme discomfort
since infancy. He does not know what
comfort is. His home has practically
no furniture. Mating, bedding (no
bed and tray for food supply his
wants. In a land cold beyond belief
over large part of the year he never
has coal fire, but warns himself over
a box holding few fragments Of burn
ing charcoal.-London Mail
