Death of Mrs Blanche Sargent of Yves
Derby.

Mrs. Blanche Flora Clark Sargent.
daughter of VIM. C. and Nancy M
Clark. who on Jan. % succumbed,
after long and most painful illness,
was born at Mansonville, P. O., Mar
IL. 1881, therefore being 80 years. ten
months and eleven days of age at the
time of her death.
While living in Massachusetts, some
four years ago she was stricken with
what proved to develop into chronic
rheumatism and spinal meningitis
and after spending some time in a
Boston hospital she came to the home
of her parents in West Derby in No
vember, 1910. During these years of
suffering in the parental home, all
that loving hands of parents and sister,
Edith, as we'll as the assistance of
trained nurses. and medical skill which
| was in continued attendance, was done
for her restoration, but the power of
the dreadful malady proved beyond
control of human effort. During the
| last three weeks of her life, her suffer
ings of body and mind we're almost
| beyond the power of human endurance,
passing through fearful series of con-
vulsions and having agonizing horrors
| Of being buried alive. During all
these years of fearful suffering Mrs.
Sargent manifested rare Christian
patience and trust. bearing the pain
without murmurings, or complaints
and receiving the ministrations to her
needs or tokens of sympathy from her
degree of gratitude. Endowed as she
was with such noble traits of charac
ter she won many friends who deeply
mourn her early departure from their
midst. She was a member of the
Episcopal church in Mansonville for
the past eleven years. Besides her
father. mother and sister. Edith. she
leaves a daughter. Eleanor Fern
Sargent, nine years old. to mourn her
loss. The funeral which was held at
her late home Monday, Jan. 2. at 2 p.

Pomfrey of the Baptist church, he
speaking words of comfort to the be-
reaved family and friends and closing

LOSSES BY RAILROADS.

The fact that railroad companies
suffer great losses annually from theft
by the burglary of freight cars,
is probably known by all per-
sons. but the extent OF these losses
is most astonishing. While il is i'm
possible to give specific details, IL is
OF interest TO get a general idea of the
losses that railroad companies are
forced to endure. In their annual
statements these losses are entered
under the heading, Loss and Damage
Claims"
Inquiry at the office OF George c.
Osborn, division freight and passen-
ger agent of the Wabash Railroad
company, brought out the following
figures as losses for the last five fiscal
years: 1910, S512.S92; 1911, S5OS,592;
1912, $4s6,519: 1913, s64s,52O; 1914.
s522,954. The fiscal year ended June
80.
E. F. Bradford. general agent of the
c., B. 6 Q. Railroad company. fur
nishes the following figures from the
loss and damage account of that rail-
road for the last five fiscal years:
1910, S932,1TS.9s; 1911, S1,163, 1859;
1917. Sl,IOc,Z9S-oo' 1910 Sl,Soo'o0S.zS'
1914. s1.443. S56.99. The fiscal year
ended June 80.
Besides these the figures given by
several other railroads may be of in
terest. The losses of the New York
Central railroad for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1912. were given as
81 ,OO2, 992.57, an increase of S2S1, 900
over the previous year.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad company in its annual state
ment for the year ending June 80, !
