City to Force an
Issue in Kettle
Brook Cases.
MILL OWNERS INTENTIONS.
That They Plan
to Try Some Of the
Best Suits.

The counsel for the city of Worces-
ter in the Kettle brook water cases are
expected to force an issue of the eases
now pending against the city by at
tempting to bring them for trial before
jury, following out the appeal of the
petitioning mill owners or else bring
them to an early settlement.
City Solicitor Rugg, Mayor Rufus b.
Dodge, Jr, Col. w. S. B. Hopkins and
City Engineer Mcclure were in secret
session yesterday discussing the mat
ter, but had nothing for the public, ex-
cept the intimation that something
might drop before the end of the week.
The intention of the mill owners is,
it is alleged, by city officials to pick
out one or two of the best cases of the
so or more and try them first before a
jury. In case the award of the jury is
larger than that awarded by the COM
mission they will try the other cases.
but if not they will accept the award
of the commission on all. The mill
owners stand to lose nothing by such a
procedure, as they are getting 500 a
day in interest so long as the cases are
lowed the counsel for the mill owners
would try such cases as they wished
and take the awards given by the COM
mission on the others.
To defeat any such scheme as this,
the counsel for the city will attempt
to bring all the cases before a jury,
compelling the mill owners to accept
the decision of the courts in all the
cases or come to an immediate settle
ment. There are two ways the city
can attempt to force the trial before a
jury. The petitioners have appealed
and now the city has the right to ask
for trial at once, and that all the
cases be entered in the next jury
trial list. 1t is thought the petitioners
would then be compelled to proceed
with all of the cases. which they do not
want to do, or ask for a postponement
of some of them, by which they would
show their hand, and the city could
then argue before a court that all of
the cases should be tried with good
chances of success.
AS the next jury term of court does
not sit till the fall, the city could ask
for a special term of court, and this
would compel the petitioners to show
whether they intended to actually try
all the cases or not.

STEVENS PROPERTY SOLD.
But the Circumstances Attending it Were
Rather Pee uiar.


Representative Worcester citizens at
tended the public auction sale of the
Charles F. stevens estate on Woodland
street, yesterday morning. Auctioneer
Henry M. Clemence received the first
bid for $4,000. In a few minutes the
bids jumped to $4,000.
Mr.. Stevens gazed wistfully over the
premises and then asserted that the
place had cost him 100000. Auctioneer
and owner had a consultation at this
point, and the following proposition
was announced:
Instead of paying $500 down as per
terms of sale, the purchaser could have
three days to pay this sum if he de-
sired, and was at liberty to withdraw
during that time if he desired"
After several ineffective attempts to
arouse enthusiasm, the property was
sold on these terms to L. Sterry, who
refused to give his address. Real es-
tate men present were unanimous in
the opinion that the place sold at a
wonderfully low figure but investors
thought the property too valuable for
speculation.
Late yesterday afternoon it developed
that the mysterious Mr.. Sterry had a
double in the person of Andrew H.
Schofeld, 80 Downing street, who
caused this lad" to be inserted in this

ably be held by Mr.. Stevens for private
sale

WENT UP IN SMOKE.
Presents Which Mrs. Toward Recovered
Destroyed.

~SSAA ogSNs
Mrs. Rose Toward who brought suit
against William Patterson in the CEN
trail district court several weeks ago.
to recover presents she gave Patter-
son, was visited with a fire yesterday
afternoon at her horne, 179 Summer
street. The presents recovered from
Patterson on the decision handed down
by Judge Utley in the case went up
in smoke, together with several valua-
BILE furnishings.
Mrs. Toward left her home about 8
o'clock and went to see Constable Rich
ardson, as she told a Spy man, "abaut
that Patterson case" and had been
gone but a few moments when the fire
must have started. Two of her Young
est children were in the house at the
time, and it is supposed that the fire
started from a match with which some
of the children must have been play
ing.
A lamp placed on a front room taole
was totally destroyed and as it was
near the closet containing the presents,
they were not long in going up in
smoke. piano and several paintings
and the carpet were all badly scorched,
while other articles in the living rooms
were badly damaged.
The fire broke through the ceiling
and caught on the roof, and for several
minutes il looked as though the house
might give the firemen a battle, hut
by quick work the fire was extin-
guished with a loss of about $500 to the
building.
Mrs. Toward is insured in the Fire
mems Fund Insurance Company for
$1,000 through the agency of d. j.
Rourke. The building is owned by the
Edward P. Maher heirs, and is insured
for $1,000 through the Merchants and
Farmers Insurance, and for $1,000
through the Worcester Mutual.
There was a slight loss to the furni-
tire Of Thomas A. Mullins, who lives
on the first floor of the house. all Of

THE ROOF COLLAPSED.
Two Men at the Fair Ground
Caught But Not Seri-
ousIy Injured.

While the demolition of sheds and
fences at the old fair grounds was pro-
ceeding as usual, yesterday afternoon,
a fifty-foot section of roof on the Sever
street side collapsed unexpectedly and
with exciting results. A dozen men
were at work in and around the shed,
and the falling roof caught two of
them, besides reaching out and hitting
an ice cart.
The men outside were so much inter-
ested in stopping the struggling horses,
that for moment they did not realize
that their companions We're in trouble.
Loud calls for help aroused them, and
the combined strength of a dozen men
lifted the roof enough to allow the
victims to crawl from under the ruins.
Both were cut about the head and
bruised about the legs and body, but
apparently not seriously injured
