SUIT MAY RESULT.
Leicester Woman Injured by Collision
With Bicycle.

Leicester, Aug. 27.-Mrs. Patrick
Toomey Of Rochdale was knocked down
by bicycle riden by John Quinn of
Leicester last week and severely shak-
en- up. Both parties claim the other
was to blame and as Leicester friends
Of Mrs. Toomey say she is after dam
ages which Quinn does not think he
ought to pay, the courts may have to
settle the case.
James Bell and Quinn were returning
from Oxford on their wheels, Bell be-
ing ahead. The old lady was on the
left side of the road, this side of Hardy's
blacksmith shop, walking towards
Rochdale. The bicyclists were riding
on the same side, which was the right
side Of the road for them. Bell passed
by all right, but Quinn collided with
Mrs. Toomey.
She was knocked down, a pail C
blackberries spilled, a sunshade smash
ed, and a small bone in her left hand
broken. Quinn was severely bruised
by the tumble he took, but was other
wise unhurt. Quinn expected the wo-
man to step off the smooth track on
this side of the road when she saw him
coming, but she did not and he did not
turn till 1t was too late. Mrs Toom-
ey expects Quinn to settle and he
blames her for being on the wrong side
of the road.

AN UNFORTUNATE CASE.
Clinton Police Called Upon to Arrest a
Sterling Resident.

Clinton, Aug. 27.-Since midnight. a
woman has been sobbing bitterly in one
of the cells in the extemporized police
station. Her name is Lillian May Rod
gers, and she is pretty and only 10 years
old. The police say, and she says her
self, that this is the first time she has
ever been arrested.
The situation which causes her to
weep is the natural outcome of the life
OF folly she has been leading for almost
year.
The girl belongs in the quiet country
village Of Sterling. She is well known
there, and passes as the adopted daugh-
ter of j. M. Rodgers, well known and
respectable citizen.
Her name was formerly, the police
say, Lille May Howard. She is a ma
tive of Ottawa, Canada, and of Scotch
descent. She is fairly we'll educated AMI
attractive to look at. Her attractive
ness has been her ruin. The first the
police of the town knew of her was
when they saw her in Central park.
The police avoided it as long as they
could, but the day came when the of
ficer on duty there was obliged to tell
her that she would do better to keep
out of the park altogether.
Several times since she has been
warned to spend her evenings at home
The end came last night, when officer
James O'Malley found Lillian on Sterl-
ing street, a residential neighborhood,
under the influence of intoxicants.
He brought her to the police station
and locked her up. Chief Bates has
been trying to communicate with Con-
stable E. S. Phelps Of Sterling by tele-
phone. He wishes to advise with the
Sterling authorities to see what dis
position they desire shall be made of
her case. If the Sterling authorities
deem it best, a more serious charge
than that of intoxioation may be enter
ed against her.
The police say that there is still much
that is good about the girl Until a
year ago she bore an excellent reputa-
ton, and even now she numbers among
her friends some of the most respecta-
Bile young people Of Sterling.
The girl is worried even more because
the Sterling people will know what has
happened, than she is by the fear of the
punishment the law may inflict.
Her downfall began when she began
to smoke cigarets. A person who
knows the young woman says that she
has been known to smoke as much as
a package of cigarets in a single day.
Not since the arrest Of young woman
for stealing diamond rings, at the
North Lancaster hotel, has the police
station contained a person Of the fe-
male sex who bore in her countenance
and manner so many evidences of
fOfmer responsibility.
The young woman will receive a hear
ing before the district court tomorrow
morning.

CLINTON AND HUDSON.
General Prosperity Delays Manufac-
turers to Produce Material.

turers to Produce Material.
The Clinton & Hudson street railway
is delayed by general prosperity in the
contamination of some of it's plans for
a speedy operation OF the road. Wal
ter r. Dame said yesterday that mo-
tors for the cars which should have
been on hand at least a month ago,
have not yet arrived. The reason as
signed for the delay in shipping them
given by the company from whom
they were ordered, is that the amount
of business on hand prevented the or
der of the local company from being
reached.
The officials of the Clinton & Hud-
son company had the same trouble
with their rails, and are even now de-
layed by the failure Of the rails for a
connecting curve to be on hand.
The three cars which will constitute
the equipment on the new road have
been waiting for their motors several
weeks. They are as giddy as any cars
in Massachusetts,, to the eye. Their
general color is blue. They are striped
with gold, and the lettering is in gold.
The motors are of the Westinghouse
type, and will be 80 horse power each,
two to a car.

TIN-PLATE has been advanced in
price and there has also been q
great advance in the iron sheets
and tin that are used in making
the tin-plates, and an increase in
the wages of the laborers in the
industry. 1t is probable that the
price of the dinner pail has been
advanced few cents, and that
ought to be issue enough to make
a free trade campaign on, remarks
the Little Falls Transcript. A
real nice free trade administration
could almost guarantee a reduc-
ton in price of dinner pals. The
use of such articles would be so
reduced that the demand would
not be enough to warrant any par
ticular price. Take away the de-
mand for or use of an article and
the price don't matter much any
way. Idle workmen have no use
for dinner pals, and free trade
will provide the idleness.

The idea of a saloonkeeper sub

movers in everything which goes
to help the town are about tired
