probable they ever will, for it rs stated
that thereis not amember of the commit

is any use in doing so, Cor not one
member thinks there is anything wrong
with the accounts or that there is, any
doubt but that the report Is a correct
account of the doings of the selectmen,
and that all is honest and above board,
One of the committee stated last even

duly audited by officers appointed for
that purpose and found correct.

chill or cold.
Their real trouble is a rundown con-
dition OF the nerves and blood and
Paine's celery compound, as in the case
of Mrs. Turney and her family, will
make them wei! again.
Rheumatism and neuralgia, too, grow
more dangerous and more painful with
cold weather.
This increased pain points to increased
activity of these disorders.
There is positive danger in allowing
the system to meet the perils of winter,
handicapped by rheumatism and neu-
ralgia, or any disease that comes from
poor blood and bad nerves
There is the same certainty of getting
rid of these two diseases that there is
of complete recovery from sleepless-
ness, nervous weakness, hysteria, or
any other result of impoverished nerves
and blood. Physicians to-day get rid Of
rheumatism and neuralgia as they do
sleeplessness, melancholia and nervous
dyspepsia by building up the system
and supporting its delicate nerve parts
with Paine's celery compound.
Paine's celery compound restores vi
tality to tired nerves it feeds every
tissue of the body when unusual waste
has reduced the weight and strength of
the body, as is frequently the case at
the close of the heated season. 1t gives
new appetite, and keeps every part of
the body, nerves and blood so we'll nour-
ished that the nervous, exhausted,
tired, run down" feeling from worry
and hard work soon disappears. Try it.

Superior Court-oivu side-Judge Hall

Superior Court-Clvil Side-Judge Hall,
Litigation over the closing of Ferry
Path ended yesterday with the disposl-
tion of case in short calendar. The
case was that of w. II. II. Hewitt VS.,
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company and it was
down on the list for Judgment in ac-
cordance with the committees report,
1t was announced that the case had
been settled and it was stricken from
the docket.
There were five of these cases and
those who asked damages for the clos
ing Of Ferry Path by the railroad in
1887 were besides Mr.. Hewitt jeremiah
Cullen, Josephine Werle, Hugh McCabe
and Oscar Talmadge Henry C. White
was appointed a committee to hear the
cases and he made a finding. On the
findings in the Cullen and Werle cases
an appeal was taken to the supreme
court, which resulted in victory for
the plaintiffs, Then the cases of Nc
Cabe and Talmadge were settled. The
plaintiff claimed $1,1OO and costs, but
PSNbISb lOl a SllSil lSuuCllOL.
The suit of William A. Beers, VS.. Bos-
ton and Albany Railroad company was
also heard. Mr.. Beers shipped some
trunks over the Boston and Albany but
did not ride on the train. Instead he
came home by way of New York. The
baggage was lost in a railroad acct
dent He obtained checks for the
trunks on the stipulation that he was
to travel himself over the same line.
The company set UP the defense that
he did not so travel, but came via New
York by boat, and had obtained the
checks and transportation for his trunks
by a false and fraudulent statement.
To this the defense filed demurrer.
Hhe court took the papers.
An order was granted by the court
permitting the sale privately of the
Frisbie Elevator and Manufacturing
company which has been in the hands
of a receiver for considerable time.
The McLagon Foundry company are
the prospective purchasers. The
amount of the purchase money could
not be learned, but it was stated that
it will be sufficient to pay % per cent. to
the creditors of the concern.
