sausage factory on Westminster street,
was thrown from his wagon and re-
ceive1 a serious laceration OF the scalp
over the right temple when at the corner
of Plainfleld and Mills streets about 3
O'Clock last evening. The fall rendered

the drug store Of s. Il. Groves, where DIR.

The Johnston Town Council last even
ing considered the much discussed prob
lem, the tax assessed against the British
HoIsery Company by the town OF john
ston for 1895, which that company paid
under protest, and for which they have
brought suit to recover on the ground OF
illegal assessment. Town Solicitor L. W.
Tillinghast was present and after refuting
insinuations cast against MIN In certain
quarters regarding his position in the
case, he gave II as his opinion that the
town would lose If the case was allowed
TO go TO trial. He believed the terms OF
settlement offered by the Attorney Cen
eral Tor Mr.. Cooper, president OF the
British Hosiery Company, should be ac-
cepted for this reason. He based his
opinion upon the case OF "Dunnell
against Newell" which he cited as siml-
lar. "Unless the Supreme Court OF Rhode
Island goes back on its own decision the
town will lose If ii goes to trial, declared
Mr.. Tillinghast.
ko
yirer OF the town, MIR. DAVIS, should be
heard. He was not present. After con-
sidera BILE discussion by the Board IL was
decided to let the court settle the matter.
The suit is to recover $3.50; the offer of COM
promise was that the town refund 200 to
the company. East Providence has a
simular suit pending and IL is probable
that the decision i'm that case when rend-
cred will be accepted as the logical out
come OF the Johnston controversy.
