A CITY SUES.
Pawtucket Wants TO Recover for
Judgment Rendered Against II.
Mrs. Major Fell Inl0 Hole In Front Of A.
+. & A. Bray's Store.

The suit Of tho City Of Pawtucket
against A. II. and A. Bray was heard by
Justices Stincss and Tillinghast in the
Appellate Court today, jury trial not
having been claimed The suit Is to re-
cover S.,657. 25, the amount of Judgment,
costs ana expenses by reason OF suit
brought against the city named by William
and Julia Major. Mrs. Major, on the
Thursday before Thanksgiving in 1889,
was going along "A highway In the city OF
Pawtucket accompanied by Mrs. Susan
Brooks. The former fell into hole in
the sidewalk in front of A. f. and A.
Bray's store which is under the Benedict
House and was very seriously hurt.
Mrs. Major and her husband filed n
claim for $500, with the committees on
claims of the City Council and on the re-
fusal OF that body To make them any al
lowance for Mrs. Majors injuries, began
from a jury for s3i00 against the city and
hence the present suit. The opening in
the sidewalk was for an elevator used by
the Brays To lower goods from the side
walk To their cellar.
City Solicitor James L. jerks today
stated to the court that the trap door TO
which the opening was due, into which
Mrs. Major foll was in the care OF the
Brays, that notice both of the claim be-
fore the City Council and Of the beginnilg &
of the suit by the Majors were given To
the Brays, that Mrs Major was in the
exercise of due care, and that the judg-
mont against the city had been paid.
Mrs. Lurana Brooks was the only wit
ness called. She testified that she was
walking along with Mrs Major and her
attention being attracted across the street
she looked in that direction few
moments and Oh again turning To speak
to Mrs. Major the latter was nowhere to
be seen. After minute or two the iron
grating on the sidewalk opened and she
below. Mrs. Major was unable TO attend
the former trial or today's hearing.
The testimony of other witnesses ct the
other trial was read TO the effect that Mrs.
Major only fell couple of feet and
that when she did fall two men were
raising the elevator and shouting a
warning TO passers by.
Arnold Green, counsel for the Brays,
contended that In accordance with the
decisions of the court in this state the ele-
vator was not a nuisance, that the two
men in charge Of the elevator gave proper
warningt, hat the doors through which the
elevator came up as well as the elevator
itself were properly constructed and the
defendants were in no way responsible to
the city of Pawtucket.
Mr.. Green also raised the point that the
Brays not being made parties TO the said
suit brought by the Majors were not
bound to pay any attention to the notice
sent them by the City Council committee.
City Solicitor jerks argued that ut the
time of the accident the front of the eleva-
tor was not guarded rs was the usual Gus
tom by a board, that n jury had heard the
evidence i'm the case and decided there was
negligence and the operators of the eleva-
tor should recoup the city for the damages
that ensued.

Of The Anti machine Faction Of Virginia
R-psblicans-Ths State Has Two Com
plete Republican Organizations.
LYNCHBURG, Va, Oct. 5.-The an
ti-machins faction Of tho Virginia
Republicans In convention here to-
day nominated the following ticket:
Govsrnor-PATRICK b. HCCAULL,
Of Culpepper.
Lieutenant Governor-O. B. ROL-
LER, Of Rockingham.
Attorney General-JANRs E. LY-
ONs, of Richmond.
The Republican party in Virginia
now has two State chairmen, two
State and executive committees, and
two National Committeemep; in
fact, two complete organizations.
The convention which made this
dual machinery possible claims to
represent Z great majority of the
rank and file of the Republican
voters of the State, who objected to
the policy of inaction prescribed by
their State Committee, and certainly
exceeded the anticipations of its pro-
mo!ers in its sizs and personnel. On
the only ballot of to-day the total
vote was 988, but tho actual attend
ance was not moro than 800. as many
incomplete delegations cast the full
vote to which their counties were en-,
titled. The personnel was fully ur
to tho average Of q Republican con-
vention in convention.
