The woman claimed it was the first

Inspectors O'Day and Stone drove out
to Leicester, where they enlisted the
services of Constable James A. Quinn

Unusual Incident at the Civil Session of
the Central District Court.
The civil session of the central dis
trict court yesterday was enlivened by
an episode not on the docket. The plain
tiff in the first case for trial tainted
during the examination, and the case
was continued for three weeks. The
man in question was a Pole, named
John Jematis, who brought suit against
Florence L. Williams of Warren for $54,
alleged to be due for wages. H. l..
Parker, Jr., who appeard for the plain
tiff, introduced a copy of the married
woman's certificate, filed by Mrs. Will
liams, empowering her to carry on
business in her own name.
The plaintiff was then put on the
stand, but had not answered a half
dozen questions when he reeled and
tainted. Restoratives were applied,
and the man partially revived, but Dis
trict Attorney Parker, who appeared
for the defendant, remarked that he did
not care to examine a man in his condi-
ton, and the case was continued
The case of James Pryor VS.. Patrick
Colline was marked for trial. but when
the time for the case came, David Man

BUSINESS AT THE SHOPS.
Orders Enough at the Tech to Keep Men
Busy for Some Time

The business of the Washburn shops
at the Polytechnic Institute Is every
month becoming a source of greater
satisfaction to the authorities of tile
college. The amount of work that is
being done in the machine shops and
foundry is very large, and there are
sufficient orders for several of the lines
of goods that the shops make excIu-
sively such as patent drawing stands
and grinding machinery, to keep all the
departments busy for several weeks to
come. New men are being hired as
far as the capacity of the shops will
admit in order to keep up with the
demand for their products.
The stated meeting of the corporation
of the institute that was to have taken
place according to custom yesterday
was postponed for one week for the
accommodation of some of the mem
bers who were unable to be present.

GRADE CROSSINGS.
Interesting Hearing Held Before spe-
cial Commission In Fitchburg.

Interesting Fearing Held Before Spe-
cial Commission in Fitchburg.
Fitchburg, Oct. 15.-The special com
missioners appointed by the superior
court, of which lockwood Hoar of
Worcester is chairman, gave their Sec
ond hearing in this city today, rela-
tive to the adjustment of the two
principal grade crossings in the city.
AS at the previous hearing in Septem-
Der, the opposition was strong, and
the remonstrants turned out in large
numbers.
AS in the previous hearing, City Soil
citor Pierce appeared for the city.
The principal objection to the cross
ing at Laurel street was that it would
divert the traffic from the other side
of the river to Water street, by means
Of a new street that will be built in
the event that the crossings are abol-
ished This the land owners and resi-
dents claimed would be a hardship to
them They would not listen to the
scheme of either having an overhead
bridge for foot passengers alone or on
teams, or an underground subway for
passengers only. They claimed that
the property on the south side Of the
city would depreciate in value, and
the largest land owner claimed that his
property would be damaged one-third
or, in other words, he would take one
third less If the scheme was carried
out than at the present time.
1t was the sense of the remonstrants
that the tracks should be raised above
| the street. This would neeessitate
commencing at least two miles below
| the city, and by the time the tracks
passed through the city proper, they
would be elevated at least 80 feet above
their present location. The cost of do
| ing this is over 81 ,000 000.,
| After hearing all the evidence in the
case, the commission adjourned the
hearing two weeks for the arguments

ed that the day be set aside and that
