THE FELL VERDICT.

An interesting Long Island suit has just been concluded wherein the sum of S25.000 was awarded to Mrs. s. Os- good Pell because her husband was killed at a railroad crossing by train of the Long Island road while drfv- ing his auto containing several guests. It is tenth the sum sued for but like the tragedy itself it again calls for both the elimination of grade crossings and the exercise of greater care at such danger spots and greater respect for locomotives.
 It was the fact that there was no hagman or warning signal at the crossing which made the case for the plaintiff. That the auto was being driven at a fast speed and with no indication that any attempt was made to "stop, look and listen" was brought out. It was a case like a great many others which happen almost every day. Had there been aagnan at the cross ing there is no telling how much at tention would have been paid to his lantern, or whether a signal would have served to have checked the on- coming machine any more than flags and the knowledge of just such condi- tions have in other cases. Such how ever would have indicated that the road was doing its part to prevent such fatalities instead of leaving it to auto drivers to assume the full re- sponsibility.
 It is such verdicts which are hast ening the day when there will be no more grade crossings, and it should make certain at once that there are no more unguarded ones especially on important lines of travel. The roads need it even for their own pro- lection even where the individual will not look after himself.
