DEMOLISHED THE HYDRANT.
Car "Splits" Switch on Cony Street,
With Serious Re9uIts.

Car No. 500, one of the through cars
from Waterville to Lewiston on the
line of the Lewiston, Augusta & Wa
terville Street Railway, met with a
mishap Monday afternoon which put it
temporarily out of commission. The
car. which was due to leave Augusta
for Waterville at 5 o'clock but was a
half hour late, and was in charge of
Motorman Whitney and Conductor
Jackson, had reached the top of Cony
hill and was making to turn to pass up
Bangor street, when the rear set of
trucks split the switch and took the
ToguS.
At the corner of Cony street and
Stone street was a fire hydrant and as
the rear end of the car swung around
it struck the hydrant, demolishing the
latter and letting on the water in a
flood. The water rushed down Cony
hill on the south side of the street in
a torrent and had to be shut off in the
main before the trouble could be stop
ped. The car also stopped directly over
the hydrant and was given drench-
ing
The street railway company soon
had crew of men at work on the
wrecked car and at about 4.45 it was
pulled back on to one line and taken
to the barn. About the only incon-
venience occasioned by the wreck was
that on one trip Of the Togus car the
passengers had to be transferred. The
crew Of the Augusta Water District
also got to work quickly for the pur-
pose Of repairing the damage done by
the breaking Of the hydrant. and it
was necessary to shut off for awhile
the water in the main. The damage
done to the car consisted mainly OF
the breaking Of the brake rigging.

PURITY AND POWER
Necessary to Overcome Impure and
Weak Condition Of the Blood in
Spring, After Grip, Etc.

The severe weather of winter, ex-
posture to storms, the grip. hard colds,
pneumonia, fevers. diphtheria and
other blood poisoning, prostrating dis
eases leave the whole system sub
normal-below par-weak and slow
blood depleted and thin. with that
tired feeling, poor appetite, delicate
digestive power or almost none at all.
The ideal treatment is
Hoods Sarsapariila-thoroughly to
purify the blood and expel poisons. and
Peptiron Pills-to put power into the
blood, give the strength that always
follows the use Of medicine containing
iron, increase red corpuscles and re-
store normal health-tone.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has in 40 years
won and held the favor of the people,
almost to the exclusion of other sar-
saparillas and blood purifiers.
Peptiron Pills are named from pep
sin and iron-and include also other
good blood and stomach tonics.
Be wise and begin on this sensible
and reliable course of medicine today

brought OUT Dr. Earle told the plaintiff
that it was dangerous for him to move
about with the limb in the condition that
it was. On Sept. 30 Drs. Earle and
Stinchfleld took off the cast. They found
measured an inch shorter than the other
The doctors then consulted and advised
Mr.. Elwood to go to a hospital and the
next day he went to the Central Maine
hospital at Lewiston.
Upon characterization the witness
could not tell when the leg was shown
to the jury just where the wound had
been. When he had put the leg in align
ment and opposition he felt loose piece
of bone there. DR.. Stinchfield had said
that the leg was in alignment. No win
not extend above the knee.
He testified upon redirect examination
that no window was needed in the cast
as there were no sores to heal up.
DR.. Walter S. Stinchfield of Skowhegan,
who had worked with DR.. Earle in the
treatment Of Mr.. Elwood, was the next
witness. He testified that he had been in
practice % years and Is now connected
with the staff of the hospital at Skowhe-
gan. He testified that when he and Dr.
Earle had taken Mr.. Elwood to Mr..
to go to hospital. but after some dis
cussion Mr.. Elwood decided not to 60.
They found that a fragment Of bone had
caused the wound. They sterilized the
wound with tincture Of iodine, put the
bones in alignment and upon measuring
the legs found them both the same length
Witness testified that the splints shown
were similar to those applied to the leg.
After the splints were applied the legs
were again measured and found to be
the same length and the doctors then put
the leg in a plaster cast, the bones hav-
ing been found to be in alignment On
Sept 80 they laid the cast open. measured
the leg and found it one inch short, ana
DR.. Earle at that time tested the bones
and found them ununited. Both physi-
clans consulted and advised Mr.. Elwood
to go to hospital. Witness testified that
he never knew Of leaving window in a
cast unless there was a wound and he
preferred cast such as they had used,
not extending above the knee
Upon cross-examination he testified
that he knew plating the bone was the
proper method. He had not been in
formed that there was a loose piece of
bone in the leg.
The last witness at the forenoon ses-
sion was Dr. William H. Hawkins of
Lewiston. physician and surgeon who
is now connected with the Central Maine
hospital at Lewiston. When Mr.. Elwood
was brought to that hospital witness had
ordered an X-ray plate taken Of the leg.
He saw no wound or scar on the leg.
Witness then described the treatment OF
compound fractures and he spoke of the
use of tincture Of iodine on a wound. He
had ordered the patient to be prepared
for operation on the following day and
the next day he performed the operation.
He found the bone of the leg broken to
pieces but he saw no traces of callous
formation on either bone. He would
have expected to find it, however, in that
length of time.
