snow and snrsrlnr Horser.

Snow began to fall al 80 o'clock this
morning and continued so, growing
heavier and lighter alternately, until
ii 80 O'Clock, when it turned into light
rain The morning was SO cloudy that
artificial lighting had to be resorted to in
nearly all the stores and offices. The
temperature began TO rise about 10. 80
O'Clock, but did not get above the freezing
point. Snow and slush covered the side
walks, making pedestrianism, especially
through the street markets, very dis.
agreeable. Horses. especially those
attached to street cars, got along with
great difficulty. and the slippery stones
caused them TO sustain many sprains,
cuts and bruises. rush was made for
the blacksmith shops. which were be-
sieged with impatient drivers and coach
men, waiting to have the sharp caulks
nailed TO their horses feet The indica.
tions this afternoon are that heavy
storm is not far distant.

DILLON DAMAGE CASE.
Jury and Court Exhausted by the
Lengthy Trial.

.Tury and Court ExuAubteu by Lue
Lengthy Trial
The Dillon case occupied the attention
Of the court yesterday afternoon Dennis
]. Mention, one of the building com
mittee. was cross examined by Mr.. Lore
counsel for the plaintiff Upon cross-ex-
animation he said that Mr. Dillon had
not properly done the work in many par
ticulars. He mentioned several points in
which he said the contractor failed TO
follow the specifications himself. he was
Oh the stand until 10 o'clock
George A Messick, assistant manager
of the Pussy and Jones Company and a
member Of the psrochial school building
committee, was the next witness. He
said Mr.. Dillon had not done the work to
the sAtisfa etion of the COMMITTEES, and
said also that the changes made in the
plans by the committee had not delayed
him.
Rev. Father NJ X . Fallon, priest of st.
Pauls Catholic Church and treasurer of
the building committee, took tho stand
he denied that he had promised
Eugene M. saysrs that he would
pay the $500 order given to
Savers BY Dillon He said he had made
daily complaint while the work of con.
structiou was going on and considered
the damage to the building, caused by
billions negligence, to be fully 81 500.
When cross-examined by Mr.. Lore Father
Fallon charged that young Francis p
Dillon was simply sub-contractor or rep
reRnta ivs Of his father, Bui ding Ia
speetor Patrick Dillon, who was aron I'D
there more than his son during the
erection Of the building.
Court Adjourned at 400 o'clock until
this morning
The Dillon case dragged slowly along
in the Superior Court this morning. and
there is little prospect that the case will
be decided to- day
Father Fallon completed his testimony
and was followed by a number of wit
nesses, many of whom were on the stand
yesterday.
The evidence adduced was simply to
prove and disprove the alleged change in
the specifications by the committee, and
the poor work done by the contractor,
and the case is weRrisome both to the
bench and the jury.
Francis P. Dillon was called to the
stand and said that on October is, Mr..
Sayers and be went to father Falon's
house and in an interview with Father
Fallon said he signed the release with
the understanding that the $500 was
to be paid TO Mr. Savers
The case has been marked by lively
tits between Messrs Lore and Bird Mr..
Bird became 50 exRspersted at one time
that he arose aud, turning TO Mr.. Lore
said
Il would rather try fifteen cases
againsts100 lawyers than one against
yen
At IL 80 O'Clock the testimony was all
in and Mr.. Emmons began addressing
the jury for the plaintiff. The chief
justice limited the time of argument to
TWO hours aud half, to be equally
divided between the lawyers on both
sides
