COURT CALENDAR.
Even Wheels of Justice Stopped
by the Storm.
No Sessions OF the Superior OF Probate
Courts-Another Move in the
Reed Case.

Judge Bond appeared at the stone
court house Tuesday morning promptly
at 8. 80 o'clock in spite of the storm, but
the case of William r. johnson VS.. the
city of Worcester which was on trial
Monday before the superior ,civil court,
was not resumed, owing to the absence
of three members of the jury, from
Webster, Southbridge and Shrewsbury,
who go home daily, and who were m-
able to reach the city. After waiting in
the lobby until noon, Judge Bond heard
arguments on several law points in the
case by Mr.. Goulding and City Solicitor
Rugg. The case will be resumed this
morning, when court opens at 80
o'clock.
Burton w. Potter, as counsel for the
plaintiff in the case of Silas H. Loring
VS.. the town of Holden, in which the
jury found for the plaintiff in the sum
of $SSS 27, filed a motion that the court
allow the plaintiff the costs in the case.
In the grade crossing act, under which
the case was brought, there is no pro-
vision as to what party shall pay the
costs, and the motion was argued by
Mr.. Potter to determine this matter.
Judge Bond was at the court house
during the afternoon, but no business
was transacted. The trial list remains
unchanged.
Judge Hopkins was unable to get to
tine city from his home in Millbury, on
account of the impossible condition of

for some action on the part of his
counsel, Webster Thayer. Mr.. Thayer
has nothing to say. According to the
ruling of the city solicitor, the power to
dismiss police officer rests with the
mayor, and then the suspended officer
may demand hearing, and if he Sc
cures a two-thirds vote in his favor, he
is re-instated. This method of procedure
will probably be brought to the atten-
tion of Mayor Dodge, and this action
may be taken. In that case he will be
dismissed, and if ne does not ask for -
hearing the matter will drop. As it Is,
the suspension bids fair to remain for
an indefinite period

SOCIALISTS ACTIVE.
Local Members Of the Party Engage Per-
manent Headquarters.

Not content with its activity during
the municipal campaign, the local mem
bers Of the socialist-labor party have
established permanent headquarters in
the Crornpton building, 3S Front street
where the literature of the party will
be ready for distribution and sale at all
times during the year. Feeling the full
value of the temporary headquarters
which were opened during the campaign
in the building at the corner of Main
and Park streets the socialists began to
look around for central permanent
headquarters, and now they have en-
gagged room in the Crompton building.
Within a short time a member of the
party will be assigned to look after the
headquarters, and then they will be
open at all times. Another late move
ment of the socialists is to have their
literature placed on sale at the leading
book stores in town. Several of the
booksellers and news agents on Main
and Front streets have taken stocks of
socialists books

He Was a Maine Man.

~HE brief announcement, last
week, of the death of ex-Gover-
Plaisted of Maine doubtless re-
called to the minds of many of the
Standards readers "A political incident
which in its time made a great stir. II
you trace the records they will show
that year after year, time out Of mind.
Maine has gone republican both in pres
idential years and in the election Of
governors The single exception was in
1880. That year the republicans lost the
governor and Plaisted, a fusion candi-
date. was elected.
Originally. General Plaisted was re-
publican. He enlisted as "A soldier al
most as soon as the civil war broke out
and he made highly honorable record.
Some time prior to 1SS0--the Standard
cannot tell the year-Plaisted fell out
with the republican party on the cur
rency question:; practically he turned
greenbacker. Maine being a September
state, the local election was weeks ahead
of the presidential contest in which
Garfield and Hancock. We're rivals.
Plaisted was elected, and never were
the republicans more frightened At
that time Garfield's campaign was in
bad shape. New York was lukewarm,
Indiana was in doubt.
The loss of Blaine's state inspired the
democrats but it also set the republic
cans at work harder than ever. New
York was saved during the last twenty
days of the campaign by the tremen-
dous efforts of Mr.. Conkling, on whom
Garfield turned his back the minute he
entered the white house. Indiana was
flooded with money and the state pur-
chased outright for Garfield.
When the fight of 1880 was over the
democrats had to comfort themselves
with the reflection that if Plaisted had
not been elected in September and thus
aroused the republicans, they probably
would have defeated Garfield in No
vember. General PIasted served his
term as governor, and that was the last
the political world, outside of Maine,
ever heard of him.

foreign dispatches that reach this coun-
try, surely; they are chapters that add

Meanwhile, the conviction presses it

seeking to keep track of the situation
that the time when England must be

grave danger in postponement, because
all the conditions will be incomparably
more in Russia's favor by and by The
Siberian railroad is still incomplete.
The Russian fleet in the Pacific is with
out local coal supply, Japan controll-
ing one source of supply and England

ern China. Russian control over Chi
nese affairs has not lasted long enough
to marshal any Chinese forces and the
Russian army at Nladivostoek is not
large enough for active operations.
Small as the military force of England
is, the command of the sea would en-
able the British empire to place "A more

These are to-days conditions: a flu
