 The family has always been hard headed and strong of will, and Governor Gerry's father was n truly obstinate Englishman who came over to Marble head as a merchant and was a noted man there from the start.
 He got rich. however. and the family has been growing richer ever since. The present Gerry inherited millions and married millions more, taking one of the richest ladies of the famous Living ston family. In New York he is popu-
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-11-10
How Serious Trouble Was Averted.

When MT. Benjamin Billiwink look ed at the change he had in his pocket after getting off the North Side street car that brought him down town yes terday morning, he found that the con- ductor had passed plugged cent piece on him.
 Mir. Billiwink did not care for the value of the coin, but he had the average American s dislike to being overreached, and he put that plugged coin back in his pocket and bided his time.
 In the evening he climbed aboard a north bound street car, and when the conductor came round Mir. Billiwink handed him that identical cent piece.
 The conductor looked at it and hand ed it back.
 ''I can't take it," he said. "It's plugged.
 "Yes," replied MT. Billiwink ''I know it. It's plugged. But you'll take it."
 "I reckon not. If turn in that plug. ged nickel. I'll have to make it good out of my own pocket, and l can't af- ford it. You give me good money, or cant carry you.
 Then Mir. Billiwink rose up in his wrath.
 "Yes. you will" ho snorted, "and you'll takc that nickel too. Look here, got that from Conductor No. 437 oll this line this very morning. Here's the rest of the change, just as he gave it t. me.
 II cant help that I've got my or ders, and'-
 You've got orders not to take plug ged nickels but you're allowed to pay 'em out!' vociferated Mir. Billiwink, regardless of the sensation he was crcat ing ill the crowded car. If the com pany gives out n plugged nickel, they ought to take it back. and if they pas: one on mo they'v got to take it back, by ginger! That's all there is to it. Now you can take this or nothing. It's al you'll get.
 Mir. Billiwink was determined mol to be put off that car without a fight and he braccd himself for the coming shock.
 Well, said the conductor after re flecting moment, II cant take thai piece of money. but guess you haven T got very far to ride, and you can rid, without paying anything. You'll get even that way. Will that be satisfac tory:''
 Mir. Billiwink wilted.
 "Thundcr!' he said. 'If you're no going to kick harder than that, I'll giv, you a guud nickel"
 Which he did-and got of at tn, next crossing. Tribune.
