500 in a Damage Suit.
Claimed He Was Assaulted BY Engineer on
Steamer DanIeIS0n.

Before Judge wilbur and jury was
heard today the suit OF Walter a. Han
ley OF this city against Ulysses s. Cof-
fin. engineer of the steamer George W.

wages Ia which the defendant said. Il

the other engineer witness said the
defendant asked him what wages he

said: You can get more pay IL you
ask for IL. You should have it, M
Ifanlcy said h. went and asked the
captain for an advance and was sent
back TO the engineer, the defendant.
The latter told witness another man
could be got 10 do the work at the
same price. Witness then protested
against the tricky performance, as n
claimed II TO be, OF the engineer and
told that official IL was the otiicials
brother in-law that wanted the job. ON
night witness claimed Coffin threw big
club at him which struck on his arm
ana broke it. Since that time the
plaiutin has done no work.
Witness on crOss-cXamnation de-

Dr. Ecgroyd of Newport said the
plaintiffs arm was badly broken. Rich

for a good while employed on the Dan~

Der nth. 1898. he went on the deck ana
saw Coffin run for Hanley with long
club OF wood. Witness was struck ac-
cidentally and Coffin hollored for Han
ley. on ross-examination witness
said Coffin was using the stick he nrei
at Hanley washing clothes. Both men
had been swearing.
Carl Smith told about the same story
as the previous Eitness. Smith worked
on the boat. He did not remember
what either man said when asked in
ross-examination. but admitted that
Hanley said ne had had trouble with
the chief and would fix him.
Ulysses :. Coffin. the defendant, tes-
tilted that he was engineer OF the
George w Danielson and denied he
ever told Haney TO ask for more wages,
but that Haney was going To leave
because the boat was run too fast. The
dispute first occurred on Hanley's using
language that witness did not like and
claimed Hanley made motions as If To
draw weapons. Witness then pro-
Ceeded to call Hanl~y coward and the
stick Of wood slipped out OF his hands.
The mate of the steamer told a story
that partially corroborated Collins.
The jury gave Hanley a verdict for

Hunter was also the administrator OF
the Graham estate in this city, which
Is estimated TO be valued at some $40. .

become surety for him during the years
OF his heaviest alleged dcfalcations
when the shortage reached an aggre-
gate OF some $4,000
Hunter was also collector OF taxes for
the WatchemolSet Fire District A
meeting OF the administrative board OF
the district was held last night and the
treasurer reported that, according TO
dhe collectors books. sl0i more than
hao been collected had been paid TO the
treasurer by Hunter. This Is apparently
a very singular state OF affairs, and
would indicate either that Hunter paid
over money 10 the treasurers Of the
town and fire district i'm haphaZard
fashion as he happened TO have IT, or
that his books are not correct. II his
record is a true one the district owes
him about 5000. part of which is his
commission for collecting the taxes.
There Is apparently $4,000 due the dis
trict from uncOllected taxes. About

The home OF Mrs. Mary Olsen and her

good while before he deserted her she
lived with him at her sisters home and
ne paid his board and she her own. He
paid the board of their one child who
lived at another place. During this time
she was working and her husband said
as she could earn money he refused to
support her. Mrs. Olsen said that her
husband wanted her to accept the ten
ents OF the Christian Scientists. but
she refused. When she took sick he
wanted her TO rely on the relief TO be
obtained from the scientists but she
refused and then her husband would
pay no doctors bills and would not sup
port her so she had 10 go 20 work.
A sister OF Mrs. Olsen's said that
Mr.. Olsen was a queer man and tried
10 induce his wife 10 read Christian
science books and papers.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.
BY the Bishop ofTraro.

-f ffF|f - 49, tSA
II we desire to live the higher, truer
life--the life hid with Christ in Cod
II we desire to belong to the inward
secret fellowship Of the saints, our
whole duty is to study to fashion our
every day life on this earth, accord
ing to the pattern that has thus been
shown to us ''in the Mount"
Our work IS TO rise above the aver
age standard now. The communicate
who Is living, merely according to
the natural life is satisfied with the
standard OF the age in which be lives
he feels no need OF anything higher
But the communicate who Is in the
inner fellowship Of the saints Is filled
by the spirit of God with q divine
hunger for that glory which shall be
more fully revealed hereafter, but
which is already around him, resting
upon him, and in him. AS we recog-
nlze these marks of the life OF the
Blessed ones, the saints who haYs
gone before, we cannot rest con-
tented with merely the form Of
Christianity which has been develop
ed by Che circumstances Of the nine
tenth century.
Observe. we do not ignore the nat
nral; For God lie the God OF nature as
we'll as Of grace, we do not despise the
ordinary level; God forbid who are
we, that we should despise any work
OF GOds Probably. many of whom
we think we're ordinary Christians
will be far beyond os, in the bay Of
the Lords appearing,
And we do not presume to think
that we can rise by one sudden { Il lrt
to that higher life, Many whom 1
have known have attempted it, desir-
ing to be at the top of the spiritual
ladder at once not called by Cod, and
the fail has been awful. There must
be frequent oommunions,self-r restraint
works Of love, integrity. "Covet
earnestly the best gifts" but remem-
Der, without charity all else is de-
fusion.
