AN INTRICATE CASE.
A Litigation Which Involves All Sorts of
Funny Twists.

A suit, involved and intricate, was
brought yesterday by Ransom c. Tay-
Tor, through his counsel, Charles T. Tat
man, the attachment of which was re-
corded in the superior court and re-
turnab1e the first Monday in July.
Mr.. Taylor brings suit, against Hen
ry o, Bradley of Worcester for the re-
covery of note with interest thereon
amounting to something over $3000
which was given by his brother, John
Bradley, of Newark, N. j., to Goulding
& Murphy of Worcester, as collateral
security, who in turn assigned the
said note with its interest to r. c. Tay-
Tor, who now brings suit against Mr..
Bradley for the money due on the note.
The ad damnum is $4,000.
The peculiarly of sthe case lies in
this, that the man who gave the note is
now dead and the payment of it will in
volve part of the estate of the late. Os-
good Bradley, car manufacturer of
Worcester At the time of the latter's
death, he was survived by his wife and
several heirs, among whom were five
children. The wife was entitled to the
widow dover, but by agreement of all
parties interested, the real estate was
sold and one third of it was left in the
hands of Henry o. Bradley, son of the
deceased man, as a trust, the income of
which was to be- paid to the widow dur
ing life, which was to take the place
of the rightful dover.
1t was further agreed that on the
death the income should be divided
among the five children of the deceas-
ed. The income in the hands of H. o.
Bradley amounted to $4,000 at the time
of the death of the widow. One of the
heirs, John Bradley, who had moved to
Newark n. j.. assigned his interest in
the fund to Goulding & Murphy, Wor-
cester, as collateral security for a note
given, amounting to 5000, and which
now amounts to just a little over $4,000.
Goulding & Murphy, in turn, assigned
their interest in the note and fund to
Ransom C. Taylor, who now seeks to
have the funds, since the death of Mrs.
Bradley, applied to pay the note with
its interest. John Bradley has died
and the funds now in the hands of Hen
ry Bradley are said not to be sufficient
to pay the note and it's interest. and
the action has been brought to deter
mine the exact amount now in the
hands Of Henry o. Bradley and have
what there is applied to the liquidation
of the note and it's interest.

Peculiar Runaway. IL

Clinton, June 1.-THE board of select
men met tonight. Clerk Philbin read
a letter from the metropolitan water
board in reply to the request for four
more policemen. The water board sug-
gested that perhaps the selectmen
might take two men off the day force
and put them on nights. They indi-
Gated a Willingness to supply mount
ed policeman for the day season. This
is hardly satisfactory to the select
men, who will discuss the matter fur
ther with the water board. The select
men granted hack licenses to Murphy
Bros. 1t is understood that Murphy
Bros. will secure the contract to carry
messengers to and from the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad sta
ton.

GREEN STREET CROSSING.
Work Starts Today on the Tunnel Under
Railroad Tracks.

Employees of the sewer department
begin work today on the tunnel under
the railroad tracks at the Green street
crossing In view of the trouble an
ticipated from quick sands, every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent a
cave-in. The Boston and Albany, the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
and the New England railroads have
been informed OF the progress of the
work, and orders have been issued to
have all trains pass over the crossing
at a rate of speed which does not ex-
coed FIVE miles an hour, an" to keep
the reduced speed for several hundred
feet both sides of the crossing. The de-
partment will use iron plates, which
have been made on a special order by
William Allen & Sons to hold up and
hold back the sand about the tunnel.
Wooden rings or plates are used for
the tunneling under the street, but
something stronger is needed to hold
up the railroad trains, and iron will be
substituted. Each plate is a quarter of
an inch thick and forms a small arc Of
a circle The width of the plate is IS
inches. AS the tunneling progresses
these plates will be put inside the tun-
nei and bolted together until the com
plete ring 1S inches wide and 5S inches
in diameter is formed. Other rings will
be added as soon as the tunnel has gone
ahead far enough.
Considera BILE time has been taken up
in sinking the caissOn and wasted on
account Of insufficient power, defect
that has now been remedied, but at
best only about IL feet Of the sewer
can be constructed in Sc hours of con-
tinuous work. From the corner of
Temple street the sewer has been con-
structed north to the railroad tracks,
a distance of about 70 feet, and south
almost to Goddard street, a distance of
about 127 feet or about 200 feet in all.
There are about 1000 feet yet to be COW

IF THEY ARE PURE"

A resident of Minnesota, a person evil
IDENTIFY well versed in sacred history
writes concerning shredded whole
wheat biscuit as follows
IF they are pure, then you have
made the first pure bread since the
beginning of the Christian era when
Luke was a doctor without patients,
and such was the bread for the frst
800 years of this era"
Shredded wheat biscuits are pure
for there is nothing added or taken
from the perfect whole wheat in their
manufacture. AS of old, when shredded
wheat is used as a breakfast food or as
a bread. the body is nourished and no
constipation. indigestion or resultant
ills follow. No medicine is required.
