Among those present from out of
town were Rufus Barrett. Somerville;

terest to the Catholic people of the
town was that of Sergt. John Munster,
a popular member of Co, K, Ninth reg

at the home of the bride, 112 School

members of Company K and by friends

state of New York. They will reside at
the home of the brides mother.
Sergt. Munster is veteran of the
Spanish WAL ne was nearly the last
member to return after the regiment
saw service at Santiago. He was so i'll
as the result of hard service and ex-
posture. that his life was despaired of for
days at a time.
SUIT IS WITHDRAWN.
Luigi Romano has withdrawn his suit
against Busch Bros, contractors, en-
ployed by the metropolitan water board
AS result the state will be deprived of
some interesting revelations relative to
the connection between the padrone and
the contractor, as well as between the
commissary and the contractor. Luigi
had a claim for money due for board for
the men, He also claimed that he was
entitled to something for the shanty
which he occupied while employed by
Busch Bros.
The Spy was first to begin a crusade
against the manner in which labor is
treated on the reservoir 1t exposed the
system by which the laborers are re-
CURED to buy their food off the shanty
boss, or be discharged
The contractors have stoutly main
tanned that there was no connection be-
tween themselves and the shanty boss
es, in spite of recurring evidence to the
contrary.
The shanty formerly conducted by
Romano has figured in the courts be-
IOT6. IlOUldLO WdS dTIeSlGu IOT Selling
beer illegally in the shanty and pleaded
not guilty. Evidence was given to
show that Busch brothers were finan-
cially interested in the establishment
inasmuch as money received by the
man in charge of it was paid over TO
them. Instead of relaxing the rigors
of the padrone system the contractors
are increasing the severity of their ex-
actions from their labor. Men are dis
charged every day who have paid a
padrone to get them job. Other men
are taken on in their places who have
also paid a price for the chance to
work.
FIREMEN'S TROUBLES.
There is a lot of talk in the Lancaster
fire department since the muster. Hose
3 captured the silver trumpet which
is put up at competition every year.
Hose 4 and Hose 8, dissatisfied with the
result, have offered to wager $25 that
they can get the trumpet in a competi
ton under similar conditions, if Hose 3
will try again. The muster was marked
with the presence of a. company of boy
firemen, the oldest of whom was u
years In response to the challenge of
their sister companies, Hose 3 has re-
piled that it must get reputation by
running to a hydrant faster than the
boys. If they will then put up a
beat the boys. Hose will condescend
to let Hose 2 and Hose have another
chance.
JUDGE CORCORAN TO MOVE
Judge John w. Corcoran will winter
in Boston His handsome residence
here will be closed or left in charge Of
care takers. It is believed that Judge
Corcoran intends sooner or later to
make his home permanently in Boston.
He will be missed. In the world Judge
Corcoran and Clinton are synonyms.
He is identified with so many local in
terests, 1t viii be strange not to- have
him in town once a week. He will re-
tain his membership in the school and
water boards, and will come from time
to time to attend board meetings.
Charles H. Gentsch has secured the
necessary signatures to nomination pa
pers, and will doubtless run as an indie
pendent democrat His platform, as
given by himself, is anything to beat
David 1. Walsh" who is the demo-
cratic nominee He came into politics
in close election some years ago and
was given the nomination for town
clerk. He was defeated then and twice
afterward by larger margins than any
candidate except himself was ever de-
feated in Clinton. The district is re-
publican by nearly 1000 majority when
the vote comes out and by 500 majority
In off years.
Battery B band of Worcester will give
a concert and dance in town hall
