-There will come near being an item Wed. evening some buckwheat from Pennsylvania went to be at the Dickinson House and blew out the gas. He didn’t know it was loaded and the other two hours the escaping gas poured into his room and the wind blew through his shoe strings. Finally being unable to sleep called for the night clerk and this gas was turned off, and all went well. It was a narrow escape.
-On Monday evening about eight o’clock Dr. N. M. Herrington was crossing the Erie Railroad track on Cedar St. when he was struck above the ankle by a bobsled on which a dozen young men were coasting. He carried a lighted lantern being on his way to his barn. The night was clear, but he had no intimation of the rushing sleds. He was thrown violently to the ground, and was picked up senseless and carried into Hubers grocery store. He soon became conscious. Drs. Nichols, Argue and Hoare were soon present and the latter took some stitches in the scalp. there was an abrasion of the shin near the ankle but the bones of the leg were not broken. Dr. Herrington was able to walk with two assistants to his room, and watchers were provided. He is doing well and will probably soon recover. It was a very narrow escape from a fatal injury.
-In Feb. 1882 Joseph H Busby of Painted Post a brakeman on the Erie Railroad was seriously injured while in the performance of his duty. It was in this way. Near Webster Station a few miles from Avon on the Erie’s Rochester Division he was standing on the top of a car load of timber, when one of the wooden stakes of the car broke and the lumber spread and tumbled off the car, falling down an embankment and carrying Bushby with it. He was bruised and jammed about his arms and legs and his spine was so badly injured by the fall that he was crippled for life. He sued the Erie Company for $15,000 damages for negligence. The action was tried at the Steuben Circuit at Corning in April 1884, and the plaintiff non-suited and the case ordered to be heard at the General Term; which court granted a new trial. The prevailing opinion of the Gen. Term was written by Hon. James C. Smith presiding justice. In it he said that the stake used in the car in question was one of several put in iron pickets at the side of the car. The stakes were of white wood and the evidence tended to show that one which gave way appeared after it broke to be of brittle and partially decayed wood and unfit for the use to which it was put. Justice Smith held that the defendant [the company] was in duty bound to furnish suitable apparatus to keep the lumber in place upon the car. and that the Co. could not shift upon the slipper the responsibility for the proper performance of that act. He also held that the Railway co. agents whom if employed to inspect the stakes furnished by the shipper to see whether they were fit for the intended use, acted in the place of the employer, and or which it was the duty of the employer to furnish should be in all respects proper and perfect, as the employee assumed no risk of danger from defective machinery or apparatus, “Nor can it be said,” continued Justice Smith “that the plaintiff was chargeable with negligence in not discovering the defect before he went upon the train. It does not appear that it was the duty to inspect the car to see whether it was properly loaded.” The defendant appealed to the Court of Appeals stipulating for judgment absolute in case of an afirmance there; and last November that court affirmed the General Term’s order and gave absolute judgment for the plaintiff with costs in all courts, damages to be assessed by a jury. At Bath last week in the Supreme Court damages of $9,000. were given the plaintiff by a jury. Thus has ended the case which has been for nearly four years in litigation and which as presenting certain novel and important points of law must be adjudged of more than ordinary interest. Mr. Bushby is forty three years old and has a wife and child to support and as his injuries are of such a nature as almost to incapacitate him from labor the verdict is none too large. During the long litigation which has terminated so signally in his favor, the entire management of his interests was in the hands of A. Hadden Esq. of Corning who has reason to take much pride in the handsome victory which he has won for his client.
