out of town, but their tradegrcw to such
proportions that they soon realized the
necessity of putting in an up-to-date

installing only the most approved style

We find the following interesting
item in the Buffalo Evening Times of
Saturday last. Mrs. Szag who was given
the record verdict for damages, was re
presented in court by Clarence M. Bush
ncll Esq., who was born and brought
up near Bethany; and is now classed
among the most eminent attorneys of
Western New York. He read under
Henry W. Box, Esq., of Buffalo, and
was for some time connected with the
law firm of which the latter was the
head.
"Mrs. Elizabeth M. Szag received a
verdict yesterday afternoon of $19,500
against "the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
for injuries received in a collision be
wcen the Philadelphia-Buffalo fast ex
press and a freight train at Ebenezer
about two years ago. This is said to be
the largest verdict ever returned in Part
II. Supreme Court. The jury was out
over four hours befdre reaching an
agreement. Mrs. Szag, who is a pro
fessional musician, was brought into the
court, room in an invalid's chair, one
testified that before the accident she had
an earning capacity of not less than $3,
500 yearly. That "it had taken years of
labor and expense to fit herself for her
nrofession and that she is now suffering
from injuries which totallv disable her
from practicing her profession. In this
last statement she was most thoroughly
borne out by the testimony of her at
tending nhvsician. Dr. L. G. Hanley,
who testified that she would be a life
long invalid as a result of the injuries
caused by the accident, Drs. Marcy,
Putman, Cross and Smith also testified.
Clarence M. Bushnell appeared for Mrs.
Szag, and Charles E. Pooley for the de
fendant company."
Mervin E. Taft, of Mount Pleasant,
was brought to Honesdale on Saturday
last and lodged in jail on a commitment
issued by Justice of the Peace, J. E. Tif
fany, after a hearing on a charge of as
sault with intent to kill upon the person
of James Peters. Constable Richard
Mills made the arrest, and brought the
prisoner to the county seat. Peters, the
victim of the assault, received a stab
wound in the upper part of the right
breast, which Dr. E. S. Miller, of Pleas
ant Mt. found by probing to be two and
a-lialf inches in depth. There have been
various rumors as to the serious nature
of the cut, Peters having been reported
as in a dying condition, and even dead
but the best informed say that if blood
poisoning does not supervene no serious
consequences need be anticipated. Peters
a sawyer, who located in rleasant
Mt., a vear or so ago, and up to last
fall, when he took a job in Wonnacott's
mill at Waymart, had been employed in
Quick's mills and by Vandervoort in
Mount Pleasant. His family consists of
himself, a wife and child. His home is
opposite Myron LaBarr's, on the New
burg turnpike. Taft, whose second wife
left him some time since, alleging ill
treatment, lived with his eon on the Man
zcr place. The stabbingaffray occurred
in the streef, after, the parties, with
others, had been having somewhat of a
boysteroua time at one of the local ho
tels. Peters claims that while on his
way home he was waylaid by Taft and
cut at a second thrust at him ; while the
prisoner declares that the stabbing was
in self-defense after he had been knock
ed down. The stab was inflicted with a
large jack-knife, which was found on
Taft when he was arrested.
