won against Goodell on a note that the

suit brought on the note. The case is
returnable in the superior court, in De-

OBJECTIONS OVERRULED.
The objections of the attorney gener-
al have been overruled by Judge Fes-
sender of the superior court, in the
matter of the report of the grade cross
ing commission, which was appointed
to consider the abolition of the cross
ing at the Whitins' depot Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road. Unless an appeal is taken to the
supreme court, the plans of the COM
mission can be carried out, in a short
time. The commission which was APP
pointed about a year ago, after sew
eral hearings, decided to abolish the
crossing and build a passenger and
freight depot, to cost about $4,000. The
commonwealth filed objections to the
decision of the commission, claiming
that it exceeded its authority. AS the
crossing is at the dividing line of
Northbridge and Uxbridge, both towns
will share in the expense. Thomas G..
Kent represented the towns in the le-
gal proceedings.
