At the conclusion of President Halls
remarks, Councilman O'Connell asked
the speaker upon what authority the
table had been compiled, and President
Hall said tina. he had sent the list of
questions, and had in each instance re

he did not know any Of them personal
ly, but their statements in their Off
city capacity, he considered accurate
President Hall moved seconded by
Councilman White, that the order be
referred to the next city government,
which motion was carried. When the
order came down from the board of
aldermen, the council were still firm
in their determination to stand by the
president, Later in the meeting, Pres
ident Hall announced that he should
introduce the same order in the capac-
ity of a private citizen at the first meet
ing Of the next city government.
When the report of the committee on
claims, recommending that William
O'Connell be paid $1,000 for damages to
property caused by the overflow Of a.
sewer on Cambridge street. came up
for adoption, Councilman White was in
favor Of referring the matter to this
next city government, as he said that
he understood the claim was illegal
and that the city was not liable.
Councilman Timon, for the committee,
said that among many property owners
who were damaged by the overflow,
Mr.. OConnell sustained the greatest
damage, as his business for the year
was annihilated by the destruction OF
crops and trees besides damage to his
house and land. The committee were
of the opinion that in suit against
the city much heavier damages would
be awarded, and experts who had ex-
amined the premises placed the loss at
between $500 and $500. After some
discussion. the order was adopted

I motion meant the final disposition of
! the report, no meeting being expected.
| The next matter which attracted at
| tention in the board was the report of
the committee on ordinances relative
| to the election of an assistant city So
lioitor. The original order for the APP
pointment of that official underwent a
change in the committee, which report
ed back an order providing for his cleo
ton. Alderman Mellen opened his talk
! by saying that the cost of the law bust
ness of Worcester is becoming enor-
nous. He asked City Solicitor
Rugg if Senator George f. Hoar has
/ been under pay of the city for AZ
months at a salary of $500 a month
The city solicitor answered that Sena-
| tor Hoar was engaged soon after June
| 20, 1895, but no figures were made.
! The alderman then asked if Col w.
S. B. Hopkins has been retained for
$4,000, He was answered in the ne
| gatiVe. Alderman Mellen wanted to
| know if any expert witnesses are held
who are receiving $3.50 81 day. City
Solicitor Rugg stated that no experts
are being paid anything like that sum-
To another question he said that ex-
! pert witnesses have been under pay
for several weeks, as it was necessary
to so keep them.
| On the report itself Alderman Mellen
suggested that inaSmuch as the assist
ant city solicitor should be in touch
with the head of the law department,
the latter should appoint him instead
of having the office an elective one
The original order was thus substituted
for the report OF the committee. 1t
was later amended in the lower board,
to make the appointment subject to
confirmation by the board of aldermen,
and finally passed to be ordained and
printed in The Spy and another news
paper.
With the report of the joint commit
tees on finance and streets, relative to
placing the fountain Of the Victoria
Jubilee Association on the common,
came minority report, signed by AL
dermen Potter and Brannon and Coun-
Gilman Wall. Reviewing the various
stages through which the offer has
gone, the minority submitted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, that the city council ac-
cept with thanks, the generous offer
of the citizens of Worcester of British
birth, to erect a drinking fountain for
the use and benefit of their fellow-citi-
zenS, and that they be permitted to
erect the same under the direction Of
the mayor and city engineer, near the
angle formed by the intersection of the
walk on the southerly side of Front

ture shall be substantially in con-
formity with the design that has been
drawn by the city engineer and that
the inscription thereon shall be in sub

Guildhall.

The second session of the county
teachers examination was held in the
grammar school room last Saturday.
Professor Wright conducted the examin-
alton.
X. II. Philbrick lost a valuable horse
recently. Evidently the prospect of
springs work had depressing effect
uponit.
Two instances of suparing off, have
been noted thus early: Friday March 25
at r. II. Philbricks and Monday March
% at Edward Hubbard's. The gallantry
OF the gentlemen is called into play in
making the spoons for the tairer sex.

week. Considerable interest is manifest
amongst the riders in town, and a pros
porous season is counted upon by local
agents.
Preparations are being made for an
Easter concert in the congregational
Church, April 10. The service will be in
the morning and will consist principally
of singing by chorus, responses by the
Sabbath School classes and an appropri-
ate sermon by the pastor. The Easter
Tide service will be King Forever"
A number of horses belonging to Mr..
Frank Hall are expected to be returned
this week. The loss of snow has broken
up work in the camps.
A social by the Methodist society is to
be held this week also one by the Con-
gregational society next week. Both
will probably be held in Grange Hall.

COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr.. EDITOR. Some duties that we are
called upon to perform are very sad and
unpleasant, and yet for the sake of truth
and justice we are compelled to act. This
feeling alone prompts us to continue
discussion which was commenced in an
anonymous manner, being wholly I'M
provoked and uncalled for in your local
items of March 4. In your issue of the
18th inst. was the following request -
Now ii you or your truth loving CORE
spon1ent will kindly inform us what
that original diagnosis was" etc, and
this week DR.. Ellie comes out and saws u
am very glad to have been called upon
to give my diagnosis" Can it be posi-
BILE that DR.. Ellie was the author of that
first anonymous item of March 4th !?
We pause here for reflection but not for
an answer for we are already informed
that the discussion is closed so far as the
doctor is concerned. The doctor then
informs us that he is not infallible, a con-
tessiou that hardly seemed called for, to
some of us at least, but straightwav for
getting himself goes on attempting to
prove that he is right from the first and
he alone. Here is another remarkable
quotation from the doctor:-"S Since the
autopsy and examination at Burlington
l have third reason which proves that
the trouble was only nervous, and this
is that they could not find anything to
prove otherwise" If we are correctly
informed the autopsy was had in this
town and not Burlington, and when ar
incision was made into the diseased
gland or tumor, thick purulent matter
followed the knife the whole length o
that incision and this can be proved by
five or six good reliable witnesses who
were present. Does this seem like nerv
Gus trouble only ? We again pause fo
reflection but not for an answer for tn,
discussion is closed so far as the docto
is concerned. The original diagnosis i

Hon Geo. " Dale, Island Pond, IT.
Dear Sir: In pleading a suit at the bar
you often find it advisable to make COM
parsons. In pleading our case before the
public, we frequently do the same. In
this instance, a Mr.. Mari, of Boothbay
HarbOr, Me, furnishes us the facts He
says thar Boothbay Harbor used to be
what is called a lead and oil" town.
That is, people buy lead and oil, and mix
their own paint, because they believe
they get better results than from the use
OF the mixed paints sold by dealers. To-
day, however, Boothbay Harbor is not
lead and OIL town. The change Of
opinion has come about because, of two
houses, standing side by side on the main
street, one was painted with the best
lead and oil four years ago, and the OF her
with good mixed paint at the same
time. Today the lead is all chalked off
the lead and oil" house, and it reeds re-
painting badly, while the other house is
all right and won't need a new coat for
several years. As both houses were
painted at the same time by the same
painter, it shows the great advantage of
paint ground by powerful machinery
over paint mixed by hand.
F. W. Devoc & Co.'S Pure Lead and
Zinc Paints is the product of the oldest
and largest paint manufacturing con-
Germ in the United States. They were es-
tablished in 1854. Their paint is COM
posed only of Pure Lead, Pure Zinc, Pure
Linseed Oil and Pure Uniting Colors, and
nothing else. They are ground by pow
ertul machinery, which gives them a far
greater durability than can be obtained
by mixing lead and oil in tub with a
stick. Mixing by hand is not grinding.
John W. Thurston our agent in Island
Pond will bear us out in this statement.
Yours truly,
wv. DEvoE 6, Co.

There was stolen from the house of
Eugene Buck in East Charleston Wednes-

and long chain, presumably by man

since been traced as far as Wenlock. If
the fellow has disposed OF the property
Mr.. Buck will pay liberal reward for
its return. The watch was an Elgin,

plated, with knot tied in place of slide
and very fine.
