COURT DOCKET.
Cases Heard In Civil Division Of Dis
trict Court Today.

John O'Connor, a real est,te broker,
sued Hannah Crowley OF Somerville,
Mass. for $500. Mr.. O'Connor claimed
he was entitled to commission for SER
vices rendered the plaintiff as care-taker
OF some property owned by her in this
city. The testimony was OF a conflicting
nature, and Judge Sweetland decided
that there was balance due the defend
ant, instead of anything due from her to
the plaintiff. p. j. Mccarthy for plain
tiff; L. Il. West, for defendant.
Henry N. Taft vs. Merrick w. Child.
The plaintiff, who was formerly night
watchman for the Kent-Stanley Com
pany, sued the latter, who is the present
superintendent OF the concern, for II 3. 70,
alleged to be due for board. The plaintiff
testified that the defendant boarded with
him on Merrill and on Aborn streets In
this city. The defendant admitted board
ing with the plaintiff on Aborn street,
but said that he always paid what WAS
due weekly. In regard to the time the
defendant lived on Merrill street, the
plaintiff testified he never visited his
house but by invitation. A witness
him Child had been instrumental in
getting him discharged from the firms
employ, and that he would fix him for II.
This witness had several conversations
with the plaintiff, which were duly re-
ported to the defendant, and finally the
the latter.
Associate Judge Reuckert' gave judg-
ment for the defendant for costs. Z.
Slocum Smith was attorney for the plain
tiff, and g. A. Wilson for the defendant.
Associate Judge Reuckert today rem

Sphinx a. Co., VS.. Abraham Kamelhor in
favor OF the plaintiff for s25. This is the
case reported fully in the The NEWS
about two weeks ago. The point involved
was whether or not Kamelhor, who Ii
was claimed made false representation TO
the plaintiff concerning the resources OF
certain parties who had purchased the
business formerly carried on by him last
December, was liable as surety on bill
contracted by the former in April last.

FOR TROLLEY PARTIES.
Manager Potter Is Going to illuminate
Private Car for Festive Trips.

General Manager Potter of the Union
Railroad Company has ordered a supply
of colored globes or incandescent lamps
and proposes to fit up gorgeous car for
trolley parties. 1t will be for private
companies who may then have the oppor-
tunity of taking up the Philadelphia fad
and go trolleying out to the suburbs with
their orchestra on board and serve their
cake and cream EN- route.
Another innovation, previously alluded
to by The NEWS, is to be the laying of
loop tracks at Narragansett Park and
other terminus pleasure resorts. The
object of this is that the cars go round
on a continuous circuit and double in
their own track, so as to avoid the nec-
essity OF turning the seats when there is a
crowd trying to get aboard and also the
necessity of the cars waiting for each
other on a turnout, while others are pass
ing on the straight track.

THE WOOL MARKET.
The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
says OF the wool trade:
In many respects the general character
of the wool market has been much the
same as that of last week, no remarkable
activity being noticed in any direction,
although fair aggregate business has
been consummated. As rule the i'm
mediately available supplies of the various
woods are still somewhat limited. But
taking the collective business transac-
into consideration, the market Is strong
and steady and current prices are well
maintained. Ii is quite noticeable that
while sales have aggregated large figure,
individual purchases have been for small
lots.
fact that wool is very cheap, after figur-
ing the utmost advance obtained since
May; a comparison of this weeks prices
with those of 1898, will settle this beyond
cayil. Territories have asserted their
value as being indispensable in the struc-
ture of the average finished article, and
movements in this line of stock have
been very large. The request for fine
foreign woods has been fairly well sus-
tanned, full prices being asked and OBJ
tanned.
The sales in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia amount to total of .10, 301, =
$50 pounds, against 9, 034, 100 for the cor
responding period of 1894.
NEW YORK.
The sales amount to 1,676, 500 pounds.
As rule the Immediately available sup
plies of the various woods are still some
what limited, which fact, in number of
instances, has had retarding influence
in the markt. From present indications
there is certainly no reason to expect any
deterioration from prices already estab-
lished.
BOSTON.
The sales Of the week amount to 6, 5S3,-
$50 pounds. There is good margin for
advance in any grade of wool handled in
this market. The trade as a rule is hope
full and confident. Stock has changed
hands at current prices.
PHILADELPHIA.
The sales amount to 2,040, 800 pounds.
There has been more actual business
done with the manufacturers during the
past week than for two weeks previous.
There is a total absence of speculation
and every sale represents bona tide
transaction.
CHICAGO.
The sales aggregate 100000 pounds.
There are large lines OF pulled wool held
here; most of 1t out of the market, as
holders believe that higher prices will be
obtained as the season advances. Market
is quiet but firm, and the outlook en-
couraging, with prospects for higher
values.

Trunk Line Agents Pulling
Together Very Properly.
Prices Lower Today Than During
Last Years Panic.


NEW YORK, July 25.--One OF the lead
| ing members of the executive committee

! cussing the general situation yesterday
evening, said: 81 do not recall a time in
more than 10 years when more harmon

country were bent upon doing the right

nize the necessity of pulling together,
and there is no doubt that the common
wealth will be best served by this union
| of strength.
| A great deal is being said in and out of
| Wall street about the boom that the
market has had, and the rapid manner in
which it has already discounted the inn
| provement, not actual, but simply pros
| pective. 1t is proverbial that the average
| Wall street man has q particularly short
| memory. Nine months ago, when the
| tariff question was still under discussion,
and when general conditions were as bad
as could be, most of the stocks, active
and inactive. were quoted at higher

1t is more than likely that the Gould
properties will come well TO the front,

densed but exhaustive review OF the experience
of the New England Coloaies and States ia
bank-note currenoy, from the earliest times
until the esta blish ment Of the National Bank
system.
This summary Is not merely valuable from
the great variety and wide range Of expert
snce covered; but specially 30 Cor its full ac-
count of the natural development under bust
ness exisencies OF the volunteer system OF
bsnk-note redemption. which not merely
made New England pre-sminent, but gave
her BANKERS an advantage over those Of the
rest Of the states.
Not merely is the Suffolk Bank system
fully treated. but there are also noted the cir
cunistances which led to its adoption, and the
rival plan, copying it's methods. which was
put into operation just before the war.
In a sense the pamphlet may be said 20 be
history of bank note development. After all
allowance is made, the showing is a most
creditable one for the New England States,
and especially for the banks of Boston, 20
whose enterprise aud tact tie suffolk Bank

Electric Launch Ferry sc-vi.e


An application has been made in
Norway Of the electric launch that ia

OF Bergen, which is the center of the
norwegian land and sea commerce.
ranges on two sides of q narrow har
DOR forming an inlet and surrounded
Dy rapidly rising ground. Rapid transit
from one side of the harbor to the
other became imperative, aad a line
OF electric ferry boats has been es-
tabllshed. AS the harbor is very mar
row, only about $50 yards, it was
found desirable to construct the boats
so that they could operate without
turning about to go from one station
TO another: They were consequently
made double-edged, with two screws,
one at each end, both connected d.
rectly to the motor shaft. The motor
weighs $50 pounds and is of three
horsepower capacity. Thirty-two cells
OF storage battery, weighing $3.50
pounds, are placed in each boat. The
speed OF the boats is seven feet six
inches per second, quite enough for
threading safely the crowded ship
ping Of the harbor. Each boat covers
thlrty-seven miles daily and the aver
age number of passengers carried since
the boats have been in service has
been 1900 per day. The cost Of the
fleet of eight boats was $4,000 and Of
the charging station, $12,80O.
