was attired in double breasted sack
coat of q dark material, such as Dusl-
ness men wear, and that the pantalnons
were made of striped cloth, the wnole
outfit being entirely dissimllar from the
apparel of a yachtsman.
The condition OF the body, as descriD-
ed at the inquest. showed concluslVely
that death had ensued not 10 exceed
from three to FIVE hours before the re-
mains were found. Even on sunday,
two days after the discovery OF the
tragedy, modification had not pro-
gressed to a degree or onenslVepess,
hence the contention that Shaw was
killed early in the week and that the
body had been in the water TWO OF
three days was not we'll founded.
The body was found on the beach: !:
IL had not been pounded and mutilated
by the action OF the waves. whicn al
most invariah.y occurs when body is
thrown upon the rocky coast at Scar
boro. Its condition pointed rather 10
one fact. viz. that IL had been placed
upon the beach i'm such a way as 10
lead the finder 10 believe that IL had
been thrown up by the waves.
The Shaw family is now endeavoring
to locate the murdered man on Long
Island on the Tuesday before the trag-
edy. They have found letter from 4
government official directed 10 Shaw.
Offering him quite lucrative position
at Cuba. but advising him 10 wait until
the fever season was over. IL was THIS
contemplated step which caused Shaw
to resign from his railroad position, his
relatives say. and not berause he had
had any trouble or feared any.

MUST PAY THE SHERIFF.

The Telegram Newspaper Company,
Austin 2. Cristy. editor and proprie-
tor, and the Gazette Publishing Com
pany, David H. Rowland editor, which
have been adjudged in contempt OF
court by the recent decision Of the SUI
preme court, affirming the decision OF
Judge Bond IN filming both papers S10C
each for publishing statements likely
to oDstruct the course of justice, have
not as yet paid their fines.
According to the original order OF
Judge Bond, they were TO pay the fine
within "a hours, and as the Telegram
did not obey the order of the court, q
writ Of execution upon the property OF
the Telegram Company to satisfy the
judgment was issued.
1t was then that the writ of superse-
IDEAS or stay Of proceedings was secured
from Chief Justice Field, which sus-
pended the operation of the writ until
the full bench had passed upon the
case.
Now that the decision of Judge Bond
has been sustained, the writ of execu-
ton Is in operation, and when the Tele-
gram Newspaper Company, through its
editor, proprietor, general manager and
treasurer, Austin p. Cristy does make
the payment, it will be to Sheriff r. H.
Chamberlain.

A TROUBLESOME PROBLEM.

Such weather as that of the last few
days is welcome to the highway de-
partment, enabling it to more easily
carry on the work which is being done
IN various sections Of the city At the
present time the department has sew
eral important tasks on it's hands and
work is being pushed as rapidly as the
season of the year will admit
One Of the largest jobs is the build
ing of a retaining wall at Hunts cor
ner, between the city and Valley
Falls. The wall will be 500 feet long
and will run from TO 20 feet in
height 1t is being built on the left
side of the street from Ludlow street
toward Buffers place, in order to work
that side of the road to the width of
the decree. The building of the wall
will add about - feet to the width of
the road The nature of the ground
makes the task harderRhan usual and
1t has been found necessary to put in
a backing of cinders about 2 feet in
depth. The wall is 10 feet thick at the
bottom and the first 5 feet are laid in
cement.
Directly opposite the road has not
been worked to its full width, and an
other problem will be presented to the
department when it begins to widen
the street on the right hand side. A
high bank slopes down into the street
extending several feet into the street
as laid out Two methods are open to
the department, cutting away the
bank and making a long slope or
building another retaining wall. The
chances are the methods will be COM
bined in a retaining wall of or 10 feet
being built on the line of the street
and the bank cut away from that
The left side, where the retaining wall
is now being erected will be mac
adaInized in the spring

RESCRIPTS

From
SUPRE ME- COURT.
Speirs--Lovell Case Re-
ferred to an Auditor.

Three rescripts were handed down
from the supreme court yesterday. In
the case of Martha A. S. Forbes VS..
the commonwealth of Massachusetts,
the decision of the full bench is final
judgment is to be entered upon the
finding of $22OO
The case was argued at the October
term in Worcester the plaintiff claim
ing that she ought TO recover $4,000,
the suit being for the assessment OF
damages for the taking of her land in
Clinton for the metropolitan water
basin. The plaintiff claimed that the
property was free from encumbrances,
while the state maintained that it was
subject to the easement of the right
of fowage. This right was in favor
of the Lancaster mill, and the state
had taken the mill property and
changed the dam.
The court holds that the taking of the
mill property by the state did not de-
stroy the easement of a right to flow
the PLAINTIFFS land, SO that the incum-
brance existed when her land was taxi
en- and deprecated its value according
ly.

case rightly refused TO rule as re-
quested by the defendant"

ment in Fitchburg, from Jan. l, 1894, to

The case was an action of contract
FOR the benefit of the administrators Of
the estate of Miss Miles, upon bond
given by the defendants intestate,

The court orders that decree to be
entered in accordance with report on

The court holds that the circum-
stances in the case are such as to JUS
tify the imposition of compound inter
est. but that simple interest at per
cent should be reckoned from Dec. IL,
1887. down to the Issuance of the exc
culion.
The court rules that 1.-THE rulings of
the assessors upon the matter Of evil

payment and set-off, were correct.

WORK ON THE SPEEDWAY.

Workmen are hustling on Mill street
to get the speedway in shape as soon
as possible. There are now five gangs
of workmen engaged on the street. The
street is laid out 100 feet, but the de-
partment is working it only co feet
wide for the present. In the spring it
will be graveled. Most of the work
now being done on the street is in the
line of cutting and filling, as the pur-
pose is to make the grade as level as
that of a railroad. Eight and ten feet
cuts have been necessary in several
places to bring the grade Down to
where it has been established 1t has
also been necessary to fill into Goes
pond to the width Of 30 feet in places.
Two gangs of workmen are engaged
on Hamilton street in which reloca-
ton of grade has been established. A
cut of about five feet has been made
in the street where it crosses P.anta-
ton street. The street is also being
widened from so to so feet.
