Validity of subway Contracts.

Boston, March ga case of great i'm
port, II Is claimed. having a bearing on
the Boston subway, was heard in the
supreme court in this city yesterday.
II was that based on u demurrer Of the
defendant in the suit of Contractor
Jones, of Jones & Meehan, against the
city of Boston to recover $4,000, the
balance due on the first section Of the
subway. The action Is brought against
the city on the ground that the con-
tract made by the transit commissioners
was void and illegal, inasmuch as the
commission exceeded It's authority by
making the contracts in the name of
the city of Boston. 1t is claimed the
action is brought to test the validity
of every contract made for subway work.
II the court decides that the contracts
are void, all the contractors on the sub
way may then sue the city for their
work and recover, not the low contract
price, but a reasonable value OF the
work, which may be double tho con-
tract price. If any Of the contractors
bid low figures. and lost money, they
could recover the full amount of their
work in the event of a favorable deci-
sion.

New Bedford. Mass, March 26.-Minnie

rest on a charge OF infanticide in caus-
ing the death Of her 3-weeks-old child.

fled a piece Of skirt found on the child
