ground several feet below and strik-
ing the side of his head, full force
upon a railroad frog. a peaked iron
piece. His head was literally split
open and his brain matter was forced
out onto the ground where he struck.
The injured man was unconscious
from the time of the accident and the
fact that he was not killed instantly

Of miraculous.
A near as can be ascertained.
Beaton, who has long been a faithful

RULES AGAINST
fertilizer GO. IN
LAW COURT REScRIPT

A rescript was handed down by
the law court Wednesday in the
Penobscot county case of Samuel T.
Heal vs.. The international Agricul-
tural Corporation. the Buffalo Ferti-
iizer Works, overriding the motion
and exceptions Of the defendant.
The rescript, which was drawn by
Associate Justice Guy H. Sturgis of
Portland, is as follows:
This is an action to recover DANA
ges for breach of warranty In the
sale Of commercial fertilizer. The
jury returned a verdict In favor OF
the plaintiff for $759.00 and the mat
ter is before the court on motion and
Held:
THAT the finding OF the Jury was
not manifestly wrong. 1t appearing
that the fertilizer contained 81. lbs.
of anhydrous borax to the ton. and
that the plaintiffs potato crop exhib-
tied characteristic symptoms of bo-
rax poisoning and was substantially
reduced In size and quality.
Exceptions cannot be sustained
to the admission of a hypothetical
question alleged to embrace facts
not in evidence when no foundation
has been laid by calling the attention
of the trial judge to this specific OBJ
lection. Nor when, as in the instant
case, the evidence introduced before
the hypothetical question was asked
fairly tended to prove the facts as
sumed.
3EThe Identification of a sample
having been fairly established by the
evidence, the submission Of an analy-
sis Of it to the jury is warranted,
and II the residue from which the
sample is taken be small. this fact
goes only to the weight of the evil
dence. not to its admissibility.
4There was no error in the re-
fusal of the trial judge to instruct
that the defendant would not be Ii
able in the absence of fraud or de-
ceit.
In the first count of his declaration
the plaintiff declared in assupsit, the
gravamen of his cause Of action be-
ing the breach OF the defendants
contract, or warranty, and the count
is not changed into an action of de-
ceit by allegations of fraud and de-
ceit, which are matters Of aggrava-
ton only; nor by the defendants plea
of not guilty which is cured by YER
dict. Fraud and deceit are not in
issue in assumpsit and even II al
legged cannot be proved.
5-The defendants requested in
struction that if the jury find from
the evidence that the defendant had
not reason to apprehend that the
presence of borax might be inpjuri-
GUS, that 1t would not be liable In this
action" was properly refused. Scien-
ter is immaterial in an action Of as
sumpsit for breach of warranty.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
TO SUPPLY SCHOOL
ATHLETIC GOODS

A conference called for the purpose
Of arriving at an understanding into
the needs Of the students Of Cony
High school so that local merchants
might carry lines to fill these needs
and thus avoid mail order buying by
these students. and the consequent
loss to the Augusta bushes men,
wa held Wednesday forenoon at the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms. There
were present several dealers in sport
ing goods and sporting clothes and
Principal Perkins and Coach Morrell
Of the High school.
This conference resulted from one
which was held last March between
the merchants and the Cony High Of
ficials to determine why the students
were buying their athletic equip
ment direct from the wholesale
houses when there were several
stores in this city handling goods Of
this nature.
1t was brought out at the meeting
yesterday that the students want
particular types of equipment which
are not handled by the local stores
and that because of the education
which these students have received
through several years Of out Of town
buying. the merchants were not
aware Of these demands.
Another meeting will be held when
convenient at which the merchants
and the school officials will go over
the various lines and make study
OF the student requirements so that
the Augusta stores may carry the
proper stock from which to select.
This will not only bring additional
business to the merchants but will
give the students an opportunity to
actually see the goods and to select
from a full stock. thus assuring them
OF satisfaction with the article pur-
chased. as wells az insuring immedi-
ate delivery.

BIG BERRY CROP ON PENINSULA
Delaware Farmers Production This
Year Greatest in States History

One of the heaviest crops of perish
able fruits and vegetables in recent |
years is now being moved by the |
Pennsylvania Railroad from the
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia
Peninsula.
The strawberry crop now just pass
ing its peak, promises to be one of
the largest on record. More than 2500
solid carloads of Strawberries have al
ready been moved and it is estimated
the full crop will run well over $500
cars. On June End, when the move
ment reached its high point, a total
of 245 cars were loaded and moved in
a single "a hour period. An everage
loading of 200 cars a day was main
tanned during the height of the sea-
son.
Despite the exceptionally heavy
movement and the uncertainty attend
ing crop maturity, due to varying
weather conditions, an adequate sup
ply of cars has been provided and
practically every carload of straw
berries has reached the markets with
in scheduled time. Every carload
consigned to the Jersey City Market,
which takes practically half of the
Peninsula's crop, has been received on
schedule and with but very few ex-
ceptions this is true of the movement
to the several other market points.
AS a part of the effort to expedite
the handling of the berry crop the
Railroad Company has made possible
quicker and more efficient refrigera-
tion Of cars by erecting a new icing
station at Clayton, Delaware, and en-
larging and extending the icing plant
at Salisbury, Maryland, already one
of the largest and most important on
the System.
This years potato crop from the
Peninsula, which follows closely on
the strawberry movement, promises
to compare very favorably with pre-
vious years and it is estimated that
10000 cars will be required to handle
it to the consuming centers. The
heavy cantaloupe crop, together with
apples, peaches, pears and general
produce will begin moving after the
potatoes are harvested.
Fruit and produce from Florida,
Georgia and the Carolinas are also
coming north in considerable volume
through Potomac Yard, the Washing
ton gateway The Strawberry move
ment from Florida, and North Caro-
lima through this gateway, has just
been completed. Altogether 246S
carloads of these berries were hand
led this year by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and all but nine reached
their destinations on scheduled time
Last year a total of 108,862 cars o.
perishable fruits and vegetables were
moved through Potomac Yard, Il
northern markets. 1t is expected thi!
years business will top that of 1872;
by at least 1917. The movement O
perishable traffic from the South vi;
Washington reaches its peak abou
July 4th and is concluded around tht
middle of August.

building where the blaze originated
during a storm, about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. 1t is thought that the fire

smouldered until o'clock Friday
night, when it broke out and was dis

BUS LINES OPERATE IN STATE
Extensive Service Will Connect Num-

Extensive service VIII connect NUM-
erOus Towns in Lower Counties
The Shore Transit Line, Inc, which
operates a line Of busses between the
different towns on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland, are planning to invade
Delaware within a short time and es-
tablish service between the towns
throughout this State. From what
can be learned an effort will be made
to work up schedules and get the lines
in operation by independence Day.
Plans are being made to make
Georgetown the eastern terminal of
the lines. The western terminal is at
Easton, Md, and the headquarters of
the company are in Baltimore and
Salisbury, Md.
Traffic men are making a survey of
the field at the present time and COM
pleting arrangements for the estab-
hshment of the service.
Among the contemplated routes
are: Salisbury, Md, to Laurel, thru
Delmar; Georgetown to Laurel; Sails
bury to Dover; Georgetown to Dover;
Georgetown to Rehoboth, passing
through Harbeson, Nassau and Lewes;
Georgetown to Berlin, Md, passing
through Millsboro, Dagsboro, Frank
ford and Selbyville, in Delaware.
The Chamber of Commerce of Re
hoboth Beach has passed resolutions
pledging cooperation and already am
pie provisions have been made for
parking of the busses on the main
street at the resort. Other lower Del
aware towns are expected to lend
every assistance possible in making
the lines a success. Within few days
it is stated, housing quarters will bt
obtained at Georgetown so that the
terminal may be established by tn,
time the lines become operative.
