Hearing Before Referees on Claim Of N. G
Foster VS.. City Of WaterviIIe.

The hearing before l.. c. Cornish,
ESQ. of this city, Cyrus Greeley, Esq.
of Lewiston, and Hon. J. II. Manley of
Augusta, referees in the case of NJ. Ii.
Foster & Son, vs.. City of Waterville.
was held. Thursday morning. in the Of
flee of Leslie c. Cornish, Esq. Ctty
Solicitor Dana P. Foster appeared for
Waterville and NJ. G. Foster for the
contractors.
The claim is for the actual amount
paid out by NJ. c.. Foster & Son in a
partial fulfillment of the contract for
the erection of the new City hall in
Waterville. which was stopped by in
junction. The amount of the claim IS
s3S5s.4S, including the prices paid Tor
materials for the building, expenses in
arranging for materials, legal services
in defending the injunction and inter-
est on the amount of the claim.
Mr.. Foster opened the hearing with
statement of facts relating to the
startingof the movement for a city hall.
He told how he proposed to build
building and lease it to the city on a
long lease as was done in Augusta.
He told of the favor with which the
scheme was received and the prepare
ton of the plans and the subsequent
decision of the citizens that they would
build the building themselves and own
it: how the contracts were advertised
for and awarded to his firm. The plac-
ing of the $500 guarantee of good faith
and then the $4,000 bond for the full
fillment of the contract, which was s69,-
900.
The transactions with the city gov
eminent leading up to the contracting
for the erection of the City hall, We're
read and showed how the additional
land had been bought and the old
buildings move to make way for the
new building. The original contract
was produced, also the notifications
made in April, 1897, which decreased
the amount of the cost $S253
City Solicitor Foster made a state
mcnt that the bill had been presented
to the city government and had been
referred to the commission. He agreed
that the city should not raise any tech
nical point as to its legal right to pay
the claim, considering the decision Of
the law court that the contract was il
legal but were willing to pay Mr.. Fos-
| ter a reasonable sum for the supplies
he had actually bought.
NJ. G. Foster & Son included in their
! claim only such amounts as We're act
| ually paid out in cash and made no
charge for their time. They lost the
whole seasons work by waiting for a
decision on the injunction and think it
only fair that they should be recon-
pensed for their actual cash outlay, in
asmuch as n-fulfillment of the con-
tract was by no fault of their own.
Much of the material charged is
stored by Mr.. Foster but is worthless.
There is a quantity of hard pine, 12x14
and 12x16. Al feet long which is practi-
cally useless for ordinary building.
Then the cement and lime is worthless.

made with the cartridges that have been
in use for several weeks. 1t was prepared
some twelve years ago, and the scores re-

MABEL STEVENS FOUND.
schwarz Case Benssigned for Trial
Next Tuesday.


Constable Moses Lilienthal left las,
night for Columbus 10 bring back Mabel
Stevens, the missing witness In the
Schwarz murder case. Il seems that the
woman did not go to Columbus from Sa-
vannah as she stated her intention Of do
ing, but went to Atlanta instead Police
man d. w. Jernigan located her in that
city, and learned of her departure from
that point for Columbus. The chief Of
police at Columbus was notified and ar
rested the woman Sunday night while on
her way to his city. Information was re-
celVed here yesterday Of the arrest.
While the Stevens woman is a witness
for the state, 1t is the defense which has
been most anxious to obtain her presence.
as Solicitor General Osborne has object
ed TO proceeding with the case until the
woman's presence could be obtained. The
attorneys for the defense claim that the
womans testimony cannot materially af-
feet their case, and that they have 70
fears whatever on that score. Why the
woman is so anxious to avoid making her
appearance in court is something that no
one seems to understand. Whether she is
posse of natural terror of courts
common to creatures OF her class, or
whether she is afraid that She viii he cad
into making damaging admissions to ner-
self upon the stand are queries which can
not be answered at present. The SchWarz
case has been reassigncd for next Tues

KNOCKED sENsELEss ny A CAR.
Mr.. John A. Stevenson Had a COIIis-
ion on His Wheel.

Mr. John A. Stevenson, a clerk at the
Central Railroad wharves. and who re-
sides at No 2OS Second street east, was
painfully wounded in collision with a
street car yesterday The accident oc-
CURED at about 1870 O'Clock, while car
was turning from Bryan into St Julian
street. at the northeast corner Of Johnson
square.
Bystanders sad the accident was
through no fault of the motorman's, but
rather through Mr. Stevenson. who was
mounted on a bicycle. having failed to
take sufficient care. The car was run
ming slowly on the curve when it colid-
ed with the rider, the fact that il was
stopped before its length has passed where
the man lay PROSTATE proving that
Mr. Stevenson's injuries were confined
principally TO the left side of his head
The ear was split and mangled, and had
to be sewn UP when medical attention was
secured for him. For more than half an
hour after the accident he was uncon-
scious. Gentlemen who We're standing
rear and saw the accident took him M
and carried him to the first landing of the
stairway that runs to the offices above tine
Southern Bank. Measures for his revival
were there taken but for some minutes
they were unavailing. Eventually, a
physician appeared who took Mr.. Steven
son in his buggy to the Savannah Hos
pital where his hurts were given atten-
ton. Last night he was reported as rest
ing very easily and in no danger.

SANITARY BOARDS ACTION.
Health officer Found to Have Au-
thOrity to Enforce Vaccination.

Health officer Found to Have Au-
thOrity to Enforce Vaccination.
The sanitary board he'd a special meet
ing yesterday afternoon. As one or two
members intend leaving, the city shortly.
Mayor Myers thought it well to call a
meeting, as there might not be a quorum
at the regular meeting next week.
1t was the first meeting of the board
since Dr. Brunner's election as health Of
ficer, and consequently the first opportu-
nifty the members have had 70 discuss the
sanitary situation with the new health Of
ticer Some time was spent in discussing
sanitary matters.
The main object of the meeting was to
discuss the authority of the health officer
to enforce general vaccination in lOcali-
ties where smallpox cases are discover
ed, as this is considered necessary. An
examination of the laws on the subject
resulted in the discovery of the fact that
there is a state law which gives ample
authority to the health officer to act in
such cases. The existence of the state
law makes the enactment of a local ordi-
nance for the purpose unnecessary. and
besides gives a more satisfactory authority
than would be the case with a local ordi-
nance. No new cases of smallpox have
been discovered in the city recently, but
as a number of young children have grown
up in the last few years who have never
been Vacciuated especially among the col
ored population, it was thought well to
provide for a compulsory vaccination.
