Measurements and misrepresentation
and in an individual case any court of law
would award damages to the sufferers.
NJ. koutkowsky proceeds to deny that
Russian budgets are in a chronic state OF
deficit On the contrary, he says. the
surplus of ordinary income over cXpcndi-
lures the past 10 years aggregated 5000,

Trial Of Copp VS.. Maine Central r. r.
The personal injury suit Of Miss Lii
liam G. Copp Of Skowhegan against the
Maine Central Railroad Company, for
injuries alleged to be due to the negli-
gence of the servants Of the defendant
in running over the plaintiff and cut
ting off both legs in January. 1905. was
placed on trial, Tuesday, before
drawn jury. of which Calvin r. Ellis
was appointed foreman. The evidence
Of the plaintiff was concluded, Tues
day night. and the case will probably
go to the jury before night.
The contention of the plaintiff is
that she was in full view of the engi-
neer and fireman for at least 700 feet
before they struck her; that they did
not give warming of the approach of
the train in time to avoid the injury;
that they came up at an extremely
dangerous rate of speed; that she took
every precaution; that she was right
fully on the track, because the long
use of the track at that point as a
highway established public right OF
way at that point. and imposed upon
the company the duty of due care. 1t
was shown by expert testimony that
train going at slow rate of speed
could be stopped in the length of the
engine, under ordinary condition, II 1t
consisted only of an engine and single
car.
