The Prottpvet Disaster.
Our leaders will remember the horrors ol

Metz brought suit against tbe railroad com
pany for djmngs in the Court of Quarter
Sessions at Bull'ilo, last week, and tbe jury
brought in a verdict allowing the plaintiff
o,000 damages and costs of the suit. A
large number of witnesses wore sworn, iu-
cluding Hanry Miller, of Titusville, aud J.
A. Dunham, of rleasuntvillo, who were on
tbe train at the time of tbe accident. Tbe
Master Mechanic of the road staled in evir
dence, that be informed tbe directors of the
road two months previous to tbe accident,
that the track was in a dangerous condition
and needed repairs. He was told tbat the
company bad no funds, and the repairs
could not be modo. lit) stated that Drew
iou3 to the accident be bad turned the rails
around end fur end to bring tbe ragged
side of the iron on the outside. He alro
stated that there was no guard rail on the
Prospect trestle work, and tbat tbe planks

Instead of tfcree ard ol half, which is toe
thicunesj of plaoks used on trestle notk by
all railroads. Other facts were elided
during the trial which were very damag

two hours in charging tbe jury, when tbe
latter retired and remained Dlteen minutes,
when tbey returned to court, aud announ
ced tbe verdict as above 'stated.
