Is Given in O'Malley Case
for Personal Injuries.

A verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
Of $4,000 is what the jury returned yes
terday afternoon in the case of Charles
o'Malley Of Clinton against the TWEEN
ty-Five Associates, and the case will
go to the supreme court again.
This is the third. trial. In the first,
before Judge Braley. the jury returned
verdict for the plaintiff in the sum
Of $4,000, but a new trial was ordered
on the ground that the amount was ex-
cessive. and that the verdict was con-
trary to the evidence and the weight of
evidence.
The second trial was before Judge
Hopkins last year, and after the case
had been given to the jury, the mem
bers of the panel debated the question
for 81 hours. Then they were called
back into the court room and dismissed,
Judge Hopkins ordering a verdict for
the defendant. To this Judge John w.
Corcoran, who was senior counsel for
the plaintiff, took exceptions, and the
exceptions were sustained by the su-
preme court, new trial being ordered.
The case was given to the Jury late
yesterday morning. and after being out
under charge of Deputy Sheriff W. w.
Scott, they reached an agreement be-
fore adjournment, finding for the plain
tiff in the sum stated.
The case itself was an action of tort
with an ad damnum of sS000 to recover
for injuries received In 1894 while un.
loading coal for the defendant

Accident
Missed
Was
AT HUNTINGTON Az.
Boston and Albany Engin-
eer Was Negligent.

The fact that the Boston and Albany
Railroad came very nearly having big
accident son it's hands last week, has
just leaked out through an official no.
tice posted yesterday by order of w.
H. Robson. division superintendent,
which reads as follows:
A circuit train recently made the US
ual stop at Huntington avenue in Bos-
ton. The conductor gave the usual
motion to the engineer to signify that
the passengers were all off. The en-
gineer started his train Immediately
without observing that the crossing sig
nal Of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad was against him.
Although he has been in the service Of
the road for a number of years. and
never before has failed to look for this
signal, for some unaccountable reason
he forgot to do it on this occasion. His
mind was not on his work, which Is a
serious incident in the life of a rail-
road man. who has the lives Of hun
dreds of people on his hands.
The conductor, however, kept his wits
about him. and, although his first i'm
preston was that the engineer had
been given white flag to proceed as
is always done when the crossing is
clear, he stopped his train within three
feet of the crossing, just in time to see
an outward bound train go rushing by
on the New York. New Haven and
Hartford road at full speed. Had the
engineer had his way, there would have
been a terrible accident,
The conductor, f. M. GlaZier, who
stopped the train by his presence of
mind has the commendation of the
high officials Of the road for his good
work and alertness in discovering that
the go-ahead signal was not displayed.
The fireman also was negligent and
discarded rule IS of the road, which
says that engineer and fireman must
compare signals at every crossing.
The crossing at Huntington avenue is
one of the most dangerous in Massa-
chusetts. two roads, the Boston and AL
bany and New York, New Haven and
Hartford, crossing at this point at right
angles. The greatest of caution is
used by officials of both roads to pre-
vent anything like an accident, and, al
though the order does not say what be-
came of the fireman and engineer on
the train, there is a strong suspicion In
the minds of the local employees of the
road that they are looking for Job.

and which is to be nothing more or
less than an auxiliary organization to
the big wooden trust.
This last statement is on the author
ity of the Boston Commercial Bulletin,
which will say today: "The American
Wooden Company is not to have a ri
val. but Ia companion, and of good size
and strength. The original combina-
tlon included wooden mills almost ex-
clusively. The American Wooden
Company is based chiefly upon worsted
combing machinery, and will control
the manufacture of fancy worsteds,
clay diagonals and other products of

A Famous Shoe for Women-The Acme O
Perfection in the Art of shoemaking
The Queen Quality shoe, which
Messrs. Bemis & Co are placing before
the ladies of Worcester is perfection

ladies footwear is concerned.
knowledge as to caring properly fol
the feet is useless, so long as shoes, i'm
properly designed, and incorrectly
made, from a hygienic standpoint, are
given to the people to wear.
The essential points that every wo-
man should have in mind when select
ing shoes, are fit, appearance, and
wearing quality.
Queen Quality has these points in
the fullest sense, but the makers OF
this famous shoe have gone still fur
Their.
Much has been accomplished in the
recent foot wear reforms, in one way
and another, but it is the practical APP
plication Of all the good IDEAS brought
together in one shoe, which has made
Queen Quality pre-eminently supe-
rior.
The foot, especially the foot of a
woman, is something more than that
part of the body upon which a coat
or cape Is worn. 1t is a mass Of In
tricate mechanism, involving dozens OF
joints, muscles, hinges, and close fit
ting flexible cartillaginous parts. All
these are supposed to work in har-
mony like any well organ lied and
properly assembled piece of machin-
cry
The physiology of the foot has been
carefully considered by the designers
Of queen Quality" and the result is
shoe that meets natures require
ments as to foot covering, as we'll as
presenting beauty and finish, and fur
nishing ease and comfort.
Messrs. Bemis & Co. will formally
present Queen Quality to the ladies
Of Worcester, on Monday, March 81.
Their opening on that day will be

Using matter on this picture, and it is
a work of art well worth framing.
Queen Quality finds much favor with
ladies who have been paying 81 to IS
for their shoes. To pay more is throw
ing away money when the celebrated
shoe can be obtained for 49,
In remembering that pretty foot
is a joy forever, it must not be for

pretty foot, and adds grace, ease and
comfort in so doing. 8

But in This Case Discretion Would Have
Been Better for Convery.
Charles Convery, professor on a
small scale, of the manly art, and a
general utility man at keeping the pc
lice guessing, was locked up last night
by Officers Ryan and Cody. Convery
was making things as uncomfortable as
possible at his home on Temple street,
and his mother-in-law summoned the
two officers to put quietus on
Charles. He refused to listen to the
arguments of either officer, and when
they started in to take him to the
station, Charles put up as gallant a
fight as any of Aguinaldos soldiers
ever did, with the same odds against
him.
He did not give in until his head
had been pounded almost to a jelly by
one of the officers clubs and his. raj
ment pulled apart. He was taken to
Waldo street, where City Physician w.
T. Clarke put 10 stitches in his head.
He was booked for drunkenness.
