NONSUIT GRANTED BY COURT.

The suit of Richard William Stone, q
former employe, against the Narragan-
sett Electric Lighting Company TO re-
cover $500 for personal injuries, was
tried in Judge Bosworth's court before a
jury today. Stone was at work on
March, 1897, on Somerset street, on a pole
up near the wires, and his feet rested on
a pole iron which turned around and
threw him against live wire, causing
him to receive q very severe shock and TO
burn his hands so severely that nc has
since been unable to work.
Mr.. Stone claims that the company was
negligent not only In having the iron in
such condition that Ii turned, but also
in having the live wires near where he
was working, it teing necessary rre-
caution that " Tres when men are work
ing On poles TO which they are attached
be not charged. Ibis was the first time,
Dir. stone claimed, he had bean up on the
pole whose foot iron he claims turned.
At tie conclusion Of the plaintiffs
testimony Walter B. Vincent, counsel for
the defendant corporation, asked for u
non. suit on the ground that the plaintiff
had admitted in cross-exam ination that
it was on one of the glass ends OF the
iron be had stepped, and this turning
threw him against the live wires Mr.
Vincent conteEded this was clearly q
case OF co1tributory negligence, and
trough Mr.. Owen, counsel for the plain
tin, opposed the motion, Judge B0sworth
granted it

THEIR LAST REVIEW.


The First Regiment vermont Volunteers
About to be Furloughed.
A Camp Olympia despatch to the
Rutland Herald, dated the 3lst ult.,
says The lst regiment of Vermont
volunteers had what will doubtless prove
its last parade and review here this
afternoon The understanding is that
the whole regiment will be given a 30
day furlough Friday, and that at the
end of the 30 days mastering out
officers will visit the company homes all
over the state and avert the necessity of
reassembling the regiment. With must
ering out the volunteer organization eX-
rlres and the regiment of the national
guard comes into existence again. OF
course the national guard regiment will
include only the old members of that
organization. The men who enlisted for
the war especially will be entirely out of
the service.
Gov. Grout and other officers and
guests reviewed the regiment, and then
/ the boys were marched up in front of the
reviewing stand and had speeches fired
at them for more than an hour. The sun
was bright and the day was hot and
everybody concerned prespired freely.
The dignitaries at the reviewing stand
showed bald heads fairly beaded with
drops of water when hats were removed.
The review was set at , 80 o'clock,
There was a report current that Gen.
Peck was out of town, but when an
open carriage appeared at about 245
O'Clock with man in uniform on the
box bearing the gubernatorial flag aloft
that rumOr dropped dead. The Peck
decorative touch was recognized al once
The carriage was occupied by Gov
Grout, Senator Proctor, Gen. O. o
Howard and Gen. Peck himself. Other
carriages with guests followed, and ther,
assembled at the reviewing stand party
including, besides the men named, Lieut.

muskets on the occasion. 1t appeare

t tinued drill and makes decided contras
TO the former appearances. The parad

A tremendous boulder was unearthed
on the site of the new high school in

other ones found in the vicinity, but this

1t was drawn out to the Battery Park by
six horses, where it will serve as an Orna-
ment.

was drowned in the pit of Deans old

A MANSION AT DANVILLE.
Purchased by the Sisters Of Christian Charity

The Thomas Beaver mansion, at
Danville, has been sold, and the ex-
tensive and finely appointed old home
stead, which for six or seven years past
has stood idle, is at last to be put to
practical use. The mansion is to be
made branch of the mother house of

new and handsome stable, with one or
more of the buildings will be turned
into an orphanage. The purchase
was affected last week. The price
paid, concerning which no definite in.

ably $4,000. The total cost of the
building was not much less than $780,

by the sisterhood, ii possible, before

course, will not be ready for occu-
pancy until some time later.
