Water! waterl

Up to yesterday there had been no rain
for two weeks. Succeeding the summers
drouth, this has brought water down to
the lowest level known. For weeks, many
farmers have had TO bring water for them
selves and stock. Crops are past the point
OF injury, but pasturage is ruined for the
season.
In spite of the springs that had been
added to the village system-tive in all
during the dry spell, the supply has been
failing the past week and something had
TO be done. The decision was to purchase
and bring in two fine springs on the A. L..
Morse farm. Their capacity is very large,
being sufficient now to I'LL a two-inch
pipe, with some to spare. The water is
soft and pure. These springs, with all
rights necessary, were purchased for 500
and the ditch is being dug for the pipe to
connect with the supply pipe below the
Damon springs. The distance is a mile
and three ffths and the expense, at the
present rates for pipe, will be quite heavy,
but the step is absolutely necessary to
provide sufficient pure water. With
this addition, IL is not conceivable how
we can ever be short OF water again. IL
will be sometime next week before this
work can be completed. In the meantime,
the reservoir is falling gradually and eau.
ton is still necessary to safeguard the
supply. Montpelier is entirely out OF
water from her Berlin Pond supply until
more pumps can be got running, and
most places are suffering worse than RAN
dolph. Yesterdays light rain barely
served 10 lay the dust.

MRS. KRELING WINS.
Manager Nash Loses His Suit on a
Breach of Contract. - !.


The action of John Z. Nash against Mrs.
Ernestine Krelng, owner of the Tivoh
Opera House, to recover S1150 which. he
claimed as due on contract was de-
cided adversely. to the plaintiff yesterday
by the Supreme Court. According TO the
complaint in the original action Nash was
in the East in 1894, and Mrs. ,Kreling
wished TO engage his services as manager
of the Tivoli. He demanded 500 a. week
on a two-year contract, but she offered
SIS for the first year and 500 for the next
year. This, according 70 his version, was
refused but he consented to compromise
upon the understanding that she would
pay $50 week for the first year and 800
for the second.
In the lower court Nash produced. tele-
grams and letters which he claimed were
equivalent to a contract. for in one OF the
dispatches the owner of the opera house
wired an acceptance OF the $50 per week
proposition, and added that contract
could be made when Nash reached this
city. The written contract was never
made out, and at the end of ten months
she gave the manager his walking papers.
claiming that he did not come up 10 the
requirements and was neglectful of his
duties.
The jury in the lower court found that
the dispatch mentioned was not sufficient
TO constitute a contract and that Mana ger
Nash was not entitled to recover. The
Supreme Court refused 70 disturb the
findings of the jury and the Judgment and
order were affirmed.
