estate.
It is alleged that part of the side-
walk was made of concrete and part
of broken boarps, with the concrete
section five or six inches higher than
the other part of the walk. The acci-
nent occurred at night, according to
the plaintiff’s statement, and she says
it was too dark to see the bad condi-
tion of the pavement, on account of
the borough providing no street lights
in the immediate vicinity.
The plaintiff alleges that her foot
caught in the wooden part of the pave-
ment near the offset between the diff-
erent kinds of paving, and she was
violently thrown to the sidewalk, her
body striking the concrete. Plaintiff
says her right arm and hand were
bruised to such an extent that she has
not had the free use of them since.
She further alleges that her back and
shoulders were permanently injured.

GRANTS PETITION.
On petition of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company, the Somerset
court on Monday issued a decree per-
mitting the company to establish a
grade crossing on its proposed Shade
Creek branch, at McGregor’s dam on
the public road leading from Cairn-
brook to Central City. The railroad
and the public road, the petition
states, are on practically the same
grade, and it is contended that to
separate the grades would entail a
prohibitive cost.
