OF eight years, during which time from

view of going ahead, enlarging and
making it possible to cater to the wants
OF the people in every direction by add
ing the departments necessary to make

The opportunity presented itself in a
quarter least expected when our neigh
bors, Kramer K Co, one OF the largest
aud oldest business houses in the city,
made 1t fiattering offers to dispose Of
their immense stock OF merchandise,
which NEEDLESS 80 say was accepted, on

The stock is too large in mslny direc-
tons aud mIs at be- reduced, therefore
selections win be- made aud bargains
offered that will be appreciated by
those who, seeking their own interest,

A S1ss,ooo SUIT.
Another TangIs in the Kettle Brook Dam
age Cases.

age Cases.
A suit involving s1S3,OOO and the en-
joining of the city from paying the
Lakeside Manufacturing Company the
100000 awarded by the commission in
the Kettle brook cases, has been
brought in the superior court by James
H. Nickerson, receiver, of Newton. The
bill in equity, as filed by Frank Gould
ing, who appears for the plaintiff, alleg-
es that the Lakeside Manufacturing
Company, which is corporation, and
P. G. Kent & Co., who are partnership
prescott G. Kent and Daniel KENT,
were operated both together for the
joint interest of Harriet N. Kent, Daniel
Waldo Kent, Prescott G. Kent and DAN
iel Kent as a copartnership, which was
indebted to Tebbetts, Harrison & Rob
bins, commission merchants for P. G.
Kent & Co., in New York city, to the
amount with interest of $1S3,00O.
The assignee of Tebbetts, Harrison G.
Robbins, James H. Nickerson of New
ton, has filed a bill in equity seeking to
have the court decree that the sum is
due, and asking that the damages
awarded the Lakeside Manufacturing
Company, amounting with interest to
nearly 100000, and which has not yet
been paid by the city, be applied to the
payment of this indebtedness. The
plaintiff further asks for an injunction
against the city, restraining it from the
payment of the award
The claim of the defendant in answer
is that the Lakeside Manufacturing
Company is corporation established
under the laws of Massachusetts. It has
done business since 1880, and Mrs. Kent
is an owner of the business incorporated
in 1891 for $4,000. Mrs Kent owns 297
shares of the capital stock and has
owned that amount ever since the or
ganization, Daniel Waldo Kent, Prescott
G. Kent and Daniel Kent possessing one
share each.
Some time before 1890 Prescott G.
Kent and Daniel Kent formed a part
nership under the name of P. G. Kent
& Co., and purchased the GAINESVILLE
mill. They operated the mill and Teb-
belts, Harrison & Robbins were their
commission merchants in New York. In
1872 P. G. Kent & Co. was indebted to
them In the sum Of $150,0G0. Then the
GAINESVILLE Manufacturing Company. a
corporation, was formed, and Tebbetts,
Harrison & Robbins took as security for
their claim lot of capital stock of the
GAINESVILLE Company.
The defendants claim that the Lake
side Manufacturing Company and P. G.
Kent & Co. are entirely distinct, P. G.
Kent never being interested in the own
ership of the Lakeside Manufacturing
Company except one share, and Mrs
Kent and Daniel Waldo Kent and the
Lakeside Manufacturing Company were
never in any way interested as partners
in P. G. Kent & Co, and the liability of
every one, with exception Of F. G. Kent
& Co., is denied.
The nature of the case and the
amount involved lends additional inter-
est and Importance to the affair.
The case is returnable the first Mon
day in May in the superior court
Frank P. Goulding and William c. Nell
ish appear for the plaintiff; Rice. King
& Rice for the defendants.
