NEW TRIAL DENIED.
Law Court Reseript In Damage Ac.
ton Against Street Railway.

The law court Saturday handed down
the following rescript in the Andres
cogSln county case of Henry Farr VS..
Lewiston. Augusta = & Waterville
Street Railway. Rescript. Per Curiam.
The plaintiffs wife was a passenger
upon one of the defendants cars. Ow-
ing to defective BRAKE the car going
down bill, got beyond the control of the
tiffs wife either jumped, or was
thrown, from the car. Under the cir
'cumstances, we think it lis immaterial
which. She was seriously injured.
This suit is brought by the husband
to recover compensation for the loss of
the service, society and companionship
of the wife. and for expenses, medicine,
medical attendance and nursing, in
Cured in trying to cure her of her in
juries. The plaintiff recovered a ver-
dict for $3500.4S. The case comes up on
defendants motion for a new trial
1t is clear from the evidence that the
defendant was negligent and the jury
were warranted in finding that the wife
was not guilty of cOntributory negli-
gence. The only debatable question is
that of the amount of damages. And
the important issue on this branch of
the case is whether the wife's disa-
bIlity resulting from her injuries Is
permanent or not. The defendant con-
tends that she has so far recovered as
to make it reasonably certain that she
will entirely recover. if she is not al
ready practically well. and that the
present claims are grossly inflated and
exaggerated. The plaintiff, on the other
hand. claims that his wife, from being
the well, strong woman that she was.
has been reduced to permanent inva-
lidiSn, that she never can do any work
of any Importance, and that she will
require service and attendance to some
extent as long as she lives.
Between these conflicting views, each
supported in large measure by the tes-
timony of reputable physicians, the
jury have decided for the plaintiff.
While the verdict seems large. it has
not been made clearly to appear that
it was so excessive as to justify any
interference by the court. The injured
woman is now so years old. The plain
tiff testified that he had already ex-
pended at the time of the trial, which
was two years after the accident.
about $1,000 for medical attendance,
nursing and housework This sum in
cluded the board of helpers, which is
the opinion of the court that the YER
dict must stand.
Motion for new trial Overruled.

CROUCH GERM WORST OF ALL
Scientists Have Discovered Bad Tenn
per and Ugly Nature Caused by
Microbe.

Crouch Is a word that is in the die
tionary, but, though the word has not
been in existence long enough to work
itself out of the slang class, they have
already discovered a crouch germ.
This is certainly an era of germs. No
one is appalled, when he is told nowadays
that this or that disease is due to bac-
terra in his system; but when it comes
down to regulating temperaments by
these infnitesimal vermin, one is in
clined to believe that there is no use COM
batting fate-''Let's blame it on the
germs"
If there is a germ for the crouch there
is perhaps joy germ. laughing germ,
happy germ, and-who knows?-there
may be even a booze germ, which would
forever exonerate the devotees of Bac-
chus from their personal responsibilities
1t is truly a pleasant theory.
When grand opera star cuffs her
maid. breaks the china, unhats the i'm
presario and kicks the electric light
bulbs on the plea of temperament, she
will be free to protest that the temper
germ has got into her system all una
wares, and that the manager is cruel
and heartless to scold or even restrain
one so afflicted.
So much for germs i'm general.
There are nearly as many kinds of
grouches as there are germs. There is
the born crouch. the affected crouch, the
disgr1lntled crouch, the crouch dyspep-
tic and the crouch per Sc.
Just how the crouch germs gets into
the systems of same people at such an
early age is hard to determine. especially
since the rascally bacillus has not vet
been very thoroughly studied. though his
manifesto lions are patent to all.
