cARELEssNEss OF PEDESTRIANS.

Il w neneVer an auto accldenL occurs
the public appears to be quick to
criticise the man at the steering
wheel OF tho machine. In many In
stances the driver is, to blame. but
not in all. The other day while
Standing on the four corners. a re-
porter for. this paper noticed that
pedestrians fail to observe the 'rules
Of the road as much as auto drivers.
Going diagonally across street inter.
sections is absolutely forbidden in
cities, on 4he grounds that 1t Is a
menace to life and limb. In Man
chester men, women and children
think nothing Of the practice OF "'cut-
ting the corners On Saturday af-.
ternoon when a well known. business
man was making the turn to go from
west Main street UP Franklin he
barely escaped being run into" by
a pedestrian. The auto driver kept
to the right side Of the streets, and
jut as he reached the Thorpe corner
a man, who had ''cut across" the
four corners, stepped almost square
" on the runboard OF the car be-
fore he realized what he was doing.
Had the auto been travelling more
than six or eight miles an hour, we
hate to predict what would have hap
pened to the man on foot. It is ex-
tremely necessary that drivers of
motor vehicles are taken to task for
negligence on public highways and
streets. The same rule that applies
to drivers Of vehicles ought to apply
to drivers OF teams and pedestrians.
The council viii do well II 1t places
In the center OF the four corners
some kind of "a marker which every
one can see, and then compel not
only auto drivers, but driyess OF
teams as well, to make the turns
at this dangerous crossing accord
ing to the rules Laid down by the leg
[slature. Let's blame the auto driver
when he Is at fault, but when sober
men walk diagonally across street in.
tensections and squarely into a car
The man at the wheel ought not to be
blamed. Y, ,5 .s

During the storm which passed
south Of Manchester last Thursday
afternoon. lightning struck the barn
on the Charles Praebel farm near Ry-
an, causing a. most destructive fire.
In the barn at the time Of the fire
were four valuable farm horses, one

and large quantity Of hay and
grain and number Of work harness.
The fire gained such headway in a
few minutes that it was impossible
to, save the stock, except one Of the
colts and two calves. n s.1.
The loss is a severe blow to Mr..
Praebel, who owned the stock and
other property which was consumed.
Only part Of the loss is covered by In

The residence OF Mrs. Frank Barnes
on the west side was struck by bolt

to have followed an electric light wire
and broke the globes and shades.
Fortunately none Of the family were
in the room when the bolt struck.
