yield of the shed at the Leicester Wa
ter Power Company, draw and deliver
it in regular flow throughout the year
Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Shedd, on the con-
trary, say that it is possible, and nu-
merous witnesses have told you that it
has been done.
The theory of the petitioners as to the
correct solution of the question of dam
ages at each privilege, is to determine,
first. the annual value of single horse
power, and multiply that sum by the
number of horse power taken, and by
the pending process at a suitable rate
of interest, determine the sum which
will yield that amount annually here
after The defense stoutly contra
diets this proposition and undoubted
y has some notions of it's own as to
what their process or theory is with
which it seeks to answer our claim.
While they start at Meanwhile, the
Darling & Thayer shoddy mill is per-
haps a better demonstration of how
they grapple this problem. They say
the value of horse power funded is in
correct, that it is not the true way to
determine damages and cannot be used
in cases of this kind, but the first prob
lem they undertake to do and the first
figures they set down is $780, which they
multiply by the number Of horse power
taken. That is precisely what the pc
titioners have done except they call the
price of that particular place a little
more than $50 They next divide that
sum by six cents; in other words,
fund it at per cent, while the petit
TONERS use per cent as the division.
Now we say that rule was correct
These gentlemen evidently thought it
was correct until they found their re-
suit, and then say that s17, 800, if that
be their figure, is grossly too much, and
then commence their interesting aero
batic mental feats to reach a judg-
ment
That sum dazzles their understand
ing absolutely and they call 81 coun-
ell and discuss the question of how they
are going to get down from that high
figure to a place which they think
proper, and they do that by their judg-
ment and the result is $4,000. Win you
be governed by that process of seal
ing? Do you know what their process
is? DO they themselves know what
their process is? If they ever did know
it they certainly had forgotten it be-
fore they reached their -examina-
ton upon the witness stand, for the
only answer they could give when
asked their process of reasoning was,
ut is my judgment" and when asked
why is it your judgment?" they in
variably answered simply, ut is my
judgment" using that expression Is or
20 times each.
When they arrive below the sewage
outlet, these four gentlemen all come
back to that erroneous formula of tine
petitions, that horse power is q thing
which can be sold in the market, and
has a value, and they do the problem
from there down like rational men,
Senator Hoar's theory that 1t cannot
be done intelligently, Notwithstanding,
except that they do not allow The price
which it either costs to produce 1t or
would cost to produce it, and they
fund at per cent at which not one

yesterday Mr.. Vaughan occupied the
enflre forenoon session and the greater
part OF the afternoon in finishing his
aFgument. He went through the list
oASthe city's witnesses, and severely
scored each one in turn.
ftR Closing he stated clearly the claims

appeal to the sense of justice of the
members of the commission.
Mt Vaughan closed at 2.45, and Mr..

Noners, when asked If he would pro

and doubtless capable men, having as
doubtless instructed by counsel con-
demned the rule adopted by the petit
toners first endure then pity, then eIn-
brace it and finally adopt it as the only
proper and safe rule, the moment they
reach the establishments below Quin-
sigamond.
| ask you to answer by your finding,
whether the rule that is absolutely m
applicable through Cherry Valley and
the city of Worcester, is the very rule
| that should be adopted below the city
line; if So why, and by what process
Of reasoning? Are you satisfied with
such an explanation as they have
sought to make to you? If so, it must
be because you believe the more incon-
sistent a mans determination of sim

bility Why gentlemen, they say that
when the kingdom comes, not among
men, but among the mills of Cherry
Valley and Blackstone valley and when
all things arrive at the millennium and
these mills are in state of perfection.
then and not till then can you deter
mine what the damage will be by rea-
son of the act of the city of Worcester
on the goth of June 1895. Here Is an
other one Of DIR. Johnson's charming
objects of blfurcation.
They invite you in one instance back
to the original state of nature, and be-
fore the word of that invitation is cold,
/ they invite you with wings to span
from the beginning all inventions, not
which have been made, but which may
hereafter be made. so that you will ar
rive at the perfection and end of me-
Ichanics, and then assess your damages.
If that feat has not bifurcated those
Witnesses it will have tendency to
bifurcate your judgment as to the re-
liability which can be placed upon any
such theory.
These visionary experts who assume
to prophesy the perfection of things
which will come, may somewhat dazzle
few men, but think cannot seriously
affect your calm judgment nor lead
you in your consideration away from
the mills existing into the skies of i'm
aSination.
In considering these schemes for de-
termining damages, you may feel justi-
fed in amending that statement in
Ecclesiastes about the vanities, and il
you did and should question the eX-
perts brought forward by the defense
in this case, and they honestly told you
their convictions, they would furnish
you witha new reading of that scripture
which would be Theory Of theories,
saith the expert: all is theory"
Let not your judgment be disturbed
by these things. You are yet dealing
with manufacturing establishments
which are realities existing today.
We have undertaken to establish the
proposition that horse power as horse
power is a subject which can be com
mercially dealt with, like other things,
that it is not necessarily inseparably
welded to any plant, so that 1t cannot
be separated from it and used for
other purposes or upon other premis-
es.
In determining a theory upon which
the defense can safely rest, they have
abandoned reason and followed instinct
like a mouse They have constructed

ages for the land taken, l submit in
tables which show the amount of the
several tracts, taken their appraisal by
the witnesses for the petitioners, and
the page where the testimony relating
to those matters will be found.
MY observation as to the reliance
winch can be placed upon the witnesses
Tor the petitioners, as compared with
those for the defense, l shall make
when 1 reach that part of my remarks
IN which / shall notice briefly the the
cries of damages and the sources upon
which those theories are based.
In the earlier part of the hearing we
had assumed that the question would
be raised as to whether or not the mill
buildings and tenements were within
the lO-rod strip taken around the saw
mill pond. From the course of the de-
Tense, however prior to arguments, !
had assumed that no serious contention
would be made about our claim in this
behalf.
Our plans to which the en-
brought part of the buildings clear
ly within the 1O-rod strip, while the
plan offered by the city strikes across
the arm of the mill pond, close to the
southern end of the roll-way.
10 show you the manner in which we
would arrive at the total damages of
Mann Brothers, I will explain, giving
the figures of one of each of the wit
ness as to these matters, and giving
afterward the aggregate.
First, that which has been appraised
by Mr.. Allen is the water power unde-
veloped, $39,175; developed, S73,S12; res
ervolr, $43 O54; making a total of those
items of $156041. Next the land. ex-
elusive of foundations, as appraised by
Mr. Davidson, at $4,000. The buildings
by one of the three appraisers, Mr.. Ed
ward d. Stone. whose aggregate of the
appraisal of the buildings, was S24.-
1880, consequential damage ST.. 600 as
given by Mr.. Davidson, then the ma
chinery appraisal made by Mr.. Frank
C. Smith. which includes all the ma
chinery and the aggregate of his fig
ures, $21,923.40. The steam piping, as
testified to by Mr.. Barnon, $1152.13, and
the shafting and pulleys, as testified to
by Mr.. Blake, $261907.
Taking the estimate of damages Civ

have taken one complete set of the
figures at random from the table mere
ly to illustrate how the aggregate Of
the appraisals of damages can be OBJ
tanned.
Other combinations of the appraisals
of damages can be given, the highest
of which would be by taking the APP
praisal of Mr.. Allen upon the water
power and reservoir Mr.. Watts as APP
praiser of the land, Mr.. Perry and Mr..
Whittemore estimate of the consequent
tial damage, Mr. stones appraisal of
buildings, and Mr.. Billings Manns APP
praisal of the machinery and the steam
piping and shaftlng and pulleys, being
the same in each instance as their value
was only stated by one witnesses as to
each, making a total OF $240, SAT. 80, and
the lowest appraisal will be found by
taking the estimate of Mr.. Shedd as to
the water-p power and reservoir, Mr.. Geo.

Result In Forest County

BY the table of official election figures
published in this issue it will be observed
that Forest county maintains its solid
Republican front il we did slip cog on
one of our candidates for county commits
sioner. The total vote cast was 1903. OF
this amount Col. Barnett received $50,
Greasy 599, and Caldwell SO, leaving a
Republican majority of 27c on vote that
is considered light one even in an off
year. The flood in the Allegheny and
Clarion rivers came Just right to take
away large percentage of voters, great
majority of whom were Republicans.
But for this fact the majority would have
been considerably over 800. The vote on
the Sheriff was uncomfortably close. Mr..
Jameson ran well in and carried all the
townships except two-his vote leading
the State ticket in number of precincts.
At one time it looked as if he were beat
en- but the final count put him nine ahead
of his competitor. Close, but enough to
elect just the same.
