OLD COLONY AFFAIRS.

No Meeting Yesterday-Business of
 the Company shrouded in Mystery
 -New Attachments Laid by New
 York Parties.
 The creditors of the Old Colony Distil- leries company expected to hold meeting
 yesterday afternoon and confer with Presi- dent Curiel of the United Growers associ-
 ation, who has made an offer of settlement
 to them. For some reason or other the
 meeting was postponed until Thursday,
 when there is a likelihood that it will again be postponed.
 A member of the firm of Marshall, Spellman & Co.,, of New York, who was in this city yesterday, has retained Hugh Daley as counsel in prospective suit against the Old Colony company. The | former corporation is understood to be a heavy creditor of the Distillery com pany.
 Another suit was brought yesterday by Attorney Charles Kleiner, and another 1 attachment levied on the distillery. It | is brought in the interest of Benno Loewry, New York lawyer, against the
 United Growers association for $2,000.
 MT. Loewry claims that much for services rendered.
 Adolph Woolner, the president of the Old Colony Distilleries, is again out oi l town. He is said to be in New York and denies the charge of sales in excess of l warehouse receipts.
 BOARD OF sELECTMEN. A Complaint Received Concerning Quinnipiac Drawbridse-Park Com. missioner Blake's Petition. Ii was more than usually warm last
 evening, and in consequence the meeting of the selectmen was unusually short. Park Commissioner Blake presented the following resolution in reference to remov. I ing stones from West Rock park, and the
 resolution was unanimously adopted by the board. The resolution in full is as 1 follows:
 Resolved, that no person shall rake | stone from the town lands at the base
 and slope of West Rock in such a way ai to injure or endanger the roadways that l have been constructed for cartipg or other | purposes.
 The first selectman is authorized to put up notices of the regulation and to give
 the proper instruction for it's enforce | ment.
 | This resolution was called forth by ths l fact that certain persons have been in the
 habit of taking stones from the portion oi 1 West rock lying between the main road
 way, leading from the quarries to the ] crushers, and another roadway which if | immediately below. The effect of this hat
 been to materially effect the strength ot 1 the main roadway aver which a vast dea
 of heavy carting is done from time te l time.
 Captain w. A. Wright appeared before | the board and made complaint of inatten tion and neglect of business of Edward M Futile. the bridge tender at the Quinnipiat l bridge. He stated that it was common occurrence for vessels, more particularly l sharpies and boats of that class, to have te | wait around for some time for Futile tc 1 open the draw and allow them to pass When asked what it was, in his opinion
 caused MT. Futile to neglect his business | Captain Wright said there was strong at l traction for him at corner store on Far
 ren street. Captain Potter was also pres
 ent and supported the statements of Cap
 tain Wright.
 l The complaint was referred to the join
 committee of the city and town on rail
 roads and bridges, after which the meeting l adjourned.
