MORE TROUBLE
Over Leicester Accident for
the Suburban.

There is a probability that suit will
be instituted by Mrs Margaret Pender-
CAST of Leicester against the Worces-
ter and Suburban Street Railway
Company, to recover for damages done
to her property as a result of the fatal
street car accident.
The body Of John Kerrigan was taken
into her house directly after the acci-
dent. Others of the injured ones were
also removed there. Mrs. Pendergast
of course, offered no objection at such
time and freely gave the use of her
furniture and all she had in the houGa
besides laboring herself for the comfort
of the sufferers. The carpet of her
front room was ruined by blood stains
and her furniture was also badly dam
aged Friends of Mrs Pendergast
stated yesterday that as yet no steps
have been taken by the street railway
to recompense Mrs. Pendergast for the
loss to which she was put as a result
Of the accident. They We're much in
eensed over the fact, and suit was
freely talked Of.
Actual developments in the compli-
cations which have arisen from the ac-
cident were wanting yesterday. ON
Gals Of the road, insurance men and
lawyers had nothing 20 offer, and
Chairman Smith of the Leicester Sc
lectmen stated that the town is still
awaiting Judge Utley's report upon the
inquest before taking any decisive
steps.

MAJOR TAYLOR
Succumbs to Fatal Disease
in North Carolina.

Major Nathan Taylor one of the
best-known business men and merchant
tailors in the city, died, Tuesday, at
Southern Pines, North Carolina, where
he went three weeks ago, in the hope of
recovering his health. While his condi-
ton has been grave for some time, his
death was entirely unexpected. There
were present at his bedside Mrs Taylor
and Miss M. Edith Taylor, who had ac-
companied him on his trip to the south.
The first intimation of Major Taylor S
demise was received yesterday morning
by Miss L. f. Winslow, an intimate
friend of the family, who was preparing
to go to Southern Pines to visit the
family there. She had bought her tick
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-01-05


ct and her trunk was packed at the
Taylor home, 40 Pleasant street, when
the telegram came from Mrs. Taylor,
saying that her husband died yesterday,
and advising her to remain in Worces-
ter until the body could arrive.
Nathan Taylor was born In Carlisle,
Jan. "a, 1899, and would have been just
so years of age if he had lived to the
oath of the present month. He received
the education afforded by the public
schools Of Carlisle until he was II years
of age, when he went to Lowell, engag-
ing as clerk in clothing store. From
there he went to Fall River, and Sc
cured an interest In the clothing bust
ness of Addison Putnam, the firm be-
coming Putnam & Co., where Mr.. Tay-
Tor remained for several years, until he
csme to Worcester 81 years ago.
Here he continued in the clothing bust
ness, forming the partnership Of Taylor
& Thomas, the firm having a we'll
known business location on Main street.
The copartnership continued until about
fifteen years ago. when Mr.. Thomas re-
tired. Since that time Mr.. Taylor has
conducted the tailor business at the
corner of Main and Park streets, and
the house has become one of the most
popular in the city.
I Mr.. Taylor was prominent in military
and secret society circles. He has risen
through many ranks in the Odd Fell
lows, becoming grand patriarch of Cen
trail Encampment. He was selected by
the local lodges as one of the trustees
Of the Odd Fellows Home. He was one
Of the earliest members and organic
ers Of the Worcester Continentals, and
had labored indefatigably for the in
terest of the order. He had been COM
mander of the battalion and had always
been elected to the positions of honor
and trust within the gift of the organic
alton. From his connection with this
military company, which has achieved
more than state reputation, he
gained the title of Major" by which
he was Familiarity known.
He was identified in a more or less
degree with politics. He was at one
time nominated for high sheriff, and
came within a few votes of the coveted
honor. Under Mayor Reed he was ap-
pointed assistant marshal of the Wor-
cester police force. He was a regular
attendant at the First Uniyersalst
Church, under DR.. Almon Gunnison.
Major Taylor was married July s.
1865, at Lowell, to MISS Julia A. Hail of
Putney, VT, who survives him. A
daughter, Miss M Edith H. Taylor, was
with him at the time of the death, and
a son, Herbert H. Taylor, is in the
west. A brother George Taylor, who
also has lived In this city, is in the
west.
For two years Major Taylor has been
sufferer from Brights disease, and
this has made his health pre~arious.
Three weeks ago he was obliged to seek
a change of climate. The body will be
shipped north and funeral arrange
ments made later.

Kettle Brook
Arguments.
THE PETITIONERS
Are Now Presenting Their
Side Of the Case.


Slowly the Kettle Brook hearing is
drawing to a close. Yesterday a good
days work was put in on the areu-
ments, and today the last gun will he
nred when Lawyer Goulding closes for
the petitioners. The time Yesterday
was taken up with the finishing IN of
Col Hopkins closing for the city. the
opeAfng of Henry W. King for the pe-
t1tloners, specifically the Kent mills.
and the argument of e. H. Vaughan.
who, with Mr.. Goulding, represents the
rest of the mill owners The feature
OF the day was the sharp fashion in
winch Mr., Vaughan got after Walter
E. Hassam. the engineer who had much
to DO with the city,s side of the case.
Mr.. Hassam was handled over the Goals
in great style and several seve hits
were made at Col. Hopkins.
Col. Hopkins, in closing his argu-
ment at the morning session, said, in
part:
There are features of the petitioners
evidence" he said, that seem such
glaring attempts to place fictitious val
ues on property, that l will repeat a
few of them.a. .---
First is the value placed on the bas-
ms and reservoirs. The values rest
on the testimony of two engineers. The
petitioners would ask YOU to include
in your award certain amount for the
possibility that the basins might at
some remote time be used for other
purposes than those previous to the
seizure by the city, and they tell yon
only two men in the world Mr.. Shedd
and Mr.. Allen, can tell you what the
amount of damage for this cause ought
to be. l will leave it with confidence
TO the members of this board shat the
testimony of Mr. Shedd, and confirmed
With some reluctance by Mr.. Allen, is
or such character that it cannot be
entertained as a rule or evidence of
damage for a moment"
Mr.. Shedd himself furnishes the es-
inmate. But there is another suges-
ton Why is Mr.. Shedd's proposition
very near the proposition that the value
he claims can only be a value derived
from the improvement itself? His val
ue is based, if it is based on anything,
which I deny on the proposition that
Bottomly pond is a reservoir for the
city of Worcester. Therefore, I say that
his values are very much like those
kinds of increased values that come
from the Improvement itself If there
was any ouch value connected with the
pond as Mr.. Shedd claims, it was on
account of the possibility that the city
would take it. That possibility deter
mined the market value.
THE petitioners base their claims on
the suposition that all the water the
city takes is stored and all used at ev-
cry mill with full head without waste
every day of the year. from headwaters
to Pawtucket. The claim is based on
an almost mathematical calculation, but
1t is not based on a calculation of gen
eral averages, and is therefore not ten
able. There must be waste, there must
be ineff1ciency, unless the mills are run
with the knowledge of prophecy"
Col. Hopkins, in concluding said Of
the city's witnesses:
There never was a water case tried
where the defense was able to get such

WHY GO THERE.

Senator Morgan is an expansion
list, and in an address the other day
he said;
Liverpool has been built on
American cotton at the expense of
American growers, while Man
chester has thrived at the expense
of American spinners. Why
should the price of cotton growing
in Alabama, and textiles be fixed
by men in Liverpool? Manila
offers the key for escape from this
commercial thraldom.
Why go away off to Manila to
establish a great cotton manufac-
turing city? Why not take Mo
bile, Alabama, right in the sena-
tors own state, or Galveston in
Texas? If such will O. the wisps
as this is argument in favor of
holding the Philippines, the cause
will not lie with the American
people. Morgan has become fos-
silized and his talk won't change
opinion, even in Alabama.
