Autom o bile Accidents.

During the year 1906 there were 200
persons killed and $50 more or less
severely injured in so-called "automo-
bile accidents" So far this year 104
have been killed, and 404 injured, and as
the larger part of the automobile season
is yet to come it is likely that the fatality
and injury record for 1907 will be even
greater than that for 1906.
Making all allowances for the in
creased use of automobiles this is not
an encouraging record for with in
creased use, as well as increased knowl-
edge and experience, we are entitled to
expect diminution instead of an in
crease of casualties as well as of "acci-
dents"-which, in most cases, are not
accidents in the strict sense of the term.

More Trouble From Auto ob lie S
In and Near This VILLAGE.

1t is reported that E. j. Seeley's horse
was so badly frightened by an automo-
bile the other day that the animal broke
the thills of the wagon to which he was
attached. Luckily the horse was stopped
before any other injury was done.
1t is reported that while r. II. Booth
of Ferrisburgh was driving to Vergennes
this week an automobile, driven in a
reckless manner, passed by, which so
alarmed his horse that the animal ran,
throwing Mr.. Booth to the ground with
such force as to fracture two of his ribs,
beside infiicting other injuries, the ex-
tent of which is not known at the pres
ent time.
1t is expected that Mr.. Booth, who is
a man of considerable influence, will do
what he can to check the immoderate
driving of these dangerous vehicles, so
that others may not suffer as he has
done.
While Miss Jessica Stewart was driv-
ing recently the horse was so frightened
by an automobile that was speeding near
that he SHE'D to the opposite side of the
highway and started to run away, break
ing his harness in the attempt. Fortu-
nately Miss Stewart was able to alight
and stop the animal without any other
damage being done.

We understand that the towns of
Shoreham and Cornwall have taken &C.
ton regarding the running of automo-
biles, by limiting the drivers to speed
of six miles an hour in passing through
those towns, and have posted their high
ways accordingly
This idea might be utilized to great
advantage in the town Of Middlebury /;
and the selectmen would then be doing
their full duty to the general public by
insisting that the speed of these ma
chimes be limited to such an extent that
the attendant danger would be mini
mized as far as possible; though there is
always an element of danger in con-
nection with the running of automo-
biles.

ADDISON COUNTY COURT.

There was no session of the county
court on Thursday, July A, the business of
the term having come to such situation
that a recess could conveniently be taken
over that day.
Friday morning the case of Ryland F.
Hatch VS.. Daniel l.. Layne was taken up
and this proved to be the last jury trial
of the term; for as soon as a jury had
been secured all the other jurymen were
excused from further service. In this
case it appeared that three years ago the
defendant, Layne, kept a second-class IL
cense place that is to say, place auth
orized to sell intoxicating liquors by the
bottle,-in the town of Bristol. Plaintiff
Hatch was business man of that town
and sued the defendant to recover $500,
claiming that he was entitled to that sum
for services rendered in keeping books
and guaranteeing bills for Layne when
he originally started in the liquor bust
ness. Aside from that of the two princi-
pals there was but little testimony in the
case. Max l.. Powell of Burlington was
the attorney for the plaintiff and James
Donoway of Middlebury represented the
plaintiff, who vigorously denied his liza
blity in any degree to the plaintiff The
case was completed Friday afternoon with
brief argument ON each side and clear
and concise charge to the jury by Judge
Taylor. The jury were out only short
time and just before 5 o'clock came in
with a verdict for the plaintiff, to the eff
feet that he recover $500, interest thereon
for over two years, and his costs. The
remaining jurors were then dismissed
for the term and paid off by Clerk Vain
wright and a recess was taken to o'clock
Saturday morning.
At that hour the court came in with
Chief Judge Taylor missing and Assist
ant Judge Dyer presiding. Judge Dyer
handed down some judgements in unim-
portant matters which had been pre-
viously considered, and at 8 o'clock Judge
Dyer declared the term adjourned until
2 p. m. on Monday, August 10.
The adjourned term will be a short
one, as there is nothing but court hear
ings and chancery cases still to come on.
Edward Whittier who pleaded guilty
last week to charge of illegal fishing,
got out of his scrape very cheaply by pay
ing fine of $40 and costs, or SIS in all;
and he was discharged from custody and
went on his way, presumably rejoicing.
There was large quantity of impor-
tant work done during the past five
weeks, as has been shown by our pre-
ceding reports. The remaining court
cases are for the most part divorce cases
and chancery hearings.

YALE STUDENT KILLED.
Crushed Under His Auto m OBJ Ie-
Three Others Injured.

New Haven, June pa frightful auto
mobile accident causing the death of one
undergraduate and injuries more or less
serious to two other students and to a
guest cast a gloom over commencement at
Yale to-day.
The party were coming into the city
about day-break and the machine ap-
parently skidded off the end of the
bridge which spans small stream. The
machine turned over and landed at the
edge of the water, its crushing weight
coming upon Oliver who was driving. 1t
is supposed that the automobile ran on
the bridge at high speed and Oliver
in trying to keep clear of the car tracks
swerved Just trifle and wheels skidding
at the end sent the machine into the

STEAMER KILLS BIG WHALE.
Tried to Dive, but Was Caught in
Propeller.

Boston, July s. - Passengers on the
steamship Admiral Sampson, which ar
rived today from Jamaica, witnessed
an unusual spectacle yesterday when the
fruiter rammed a monster whale and
nearly cut it in two. Capt. Henshaw
stated he never saw so many whales as
he passed along the coast yesterday
His story of striking the whale is as fol-
lows:
'1t was 9:95 a. NJ. The sea was as
smooth as glass. and scores of whales
were spouting about. Suddenly there
arose on the port bow mammoth whale.
When it saw the steamer so close it at
tempted to dive, but the bilge keel evil
IDENTIFY struck and stunned it so that it
was powerless to get away.
THE suction held the mammal to the
vessel, anfit passed, completely over it.
The port propeller tore a great hole in
it's back, and in its death throes it dashed
the water into a crimson foam. Its
tail struck the rail with great force,
nearly Knocking over one OF the negro
deck boys
"For several minutes after the whale
passed astern it continued to lash the
water. 1t lifted itself partly out of the
water and the great hole in its back was
visible for an instant. The surface of
the water was covered with blood for a
great area.
Gradually the whale quoted, and
within few minutes its carcass was
floating with the tide
One of the passengers said that the
other whales seemed to understand that
something had happened, for they start
ed off toward the east.-New York
Times.

If automobiles require any further
evidence that they are going too fast,
they can find it in the daily newspapers,
which are reporting deaths from col
lisions and other accidents with remark
able regularity. An accident in New
York which resulted in the death of
prominent man was followed by an in
quiry which elected the declaration
from the chauffeur that the machine
was not going very fast at the time, al
though witnesses say that he was tear
ing along at "a forty mile clip" Speed
is so easily attained with an automobile
that chaufieurs are tempted, and mere
turn of the hand may cause thrill of
pleasure or flash of terror pending in
jury or death.-Rutland Evening News.

Auto m obiling in New Jersey.

Complaint is made by automobiles
against what they term the severity of
the laws governing the operation of
machines in New Jersey. Attention is
sharply called to the character of these
laws by the filming of an automobile
owner one thousand dollars for running
down a man who later died from the
injuries received. To the average per-
son who does not own an automobile
the fine does not appear excessive. A
life ought surely to be worth thousand
dollars to its possessor, at least, and he
who unlawfully takes it should not COM
plain at the penalty exacted 1t is
worth noting, as bearing upon the par
ticular case in question, that the court
after filming the reckless automobilist
ordered him put on probation for two
years. If during that period he is found
guilty of violating the speed laws or
other road regulations he will be sub
jected to a much more severe punish
ment than that already inflicted. The
probation system should be supplemented
by a license-reyocation provision. Elk
