| against the electric railway company as
Judge Smile on Monday set the hearing
| in the Harvey case for next Monday. An
attempt was made by +. 2. Carleton to
have the hearing held the last Of this week

City Attorney Carleton has rendered to
Z. II. Gordon the $40 which the city coun-
ell voted to pay for tire land to be used as
roadway to the house of George Willette.
Mr.. Gordon refused to accept the money
and Mr.. Carleton placed it on deposit sub
ject to Mr.. Gordon's order in the Capital
! Savings bank. The road, of which sur
vey has been placed on record in the city
clerk office, has been ordered to be work

! it is said, will take an appeal and endeavor
| to have the city enjoined from opening the

return gave him deed for a similar piece

ened. The city will also move his house off
the Jay street line as proposed. The work
of moving the building was begun to-day
by George Cayhue, who after completing
this work, will move the Greene Syrup Uf
Tar building to the Graham lot on the same
street recently purchased by the Langdon

these days at the expense OF the city liquor
agency at Montpelier. The rushing busi-
ness the agency is now doing, and the va
rious brands and quality of the liquor sold

less-knowledge of such things. The new
cash register comes in for its share Of atten-
ton. One paper states that this register
''records the amount and quality of the liq-
uor sold whether for medicinal or mechan-
cal purposes, the price paid, purchaser 8
age, color Of eyes and hair, religious pref
erence and political affiliation."
