afternoon. At nine o'clock Wednesday
they returned with d verdict that the do
PENDANT railroad was negligent in the form
and manner alleged, and that the plat tiff
recover the sum OF 81 $50, with his costs.
The verdict was, generally, somewhat of
surprise, rs there YVES feeling that Mr..
McGovern would recover only a nominal
sum. II il understood the Case will be- TAX
en- to Supreme Court on exceptions by de-
fendant.
The struck jury who heard the case were
discharged for the term after they had rem
dered their verdict They drew pay for
twenty days.

freight train AZ IA crossing in Bolton. The

trial the jury disagreed. AT the second the
plaintiff was awarded $4,000 damages, but
that verdlc5 was set aside by the Supreme
Court. The third trial OF the case at the
last March term came 10 an abrupt ending.
After The trial had been in progress
three days Judge Watson took the case
from the jury because they had received
out OF court, evidence bearing on thu case
Mr.. McGovern and his attorneys, j. w.
Gordon and +. l.. Laird, who have labored
diligently in his behalf are naturally
pleased with the verdict.
The Plaintiff is still putting in evidence

Cal ais, now on Trial in county court. The

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional lem-
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube gets lnaammed you have a rumb-
ling sound OF imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inf AIMED condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE CLASS FOR MECHANIC,

The proposed class for mechanics in con-
nection with the art school may be started
this coming winter, If the right kind OF in
terest Is shown and the required number Of
members secured. Plans will probably be
made in the near future for a comm ttee to
work among the "stone men" for members
10 the meantime let everyOnes interested in
the granite industry be thinking this matter
over seriously. Only one conclusion can be
arrived at by those who give the matter
any thought and that is that, to be up and
doing with the times, they must not let this
opportunity pass. The promoters OF this
school are pleased to find tina stone cut ers
are taking lively interest in the matter
and will do all In their power to make that
interest count to their advantage. AS has
been stated in this column heretofore,
pupils will be taken from all stages OF
knowledge, along such lines, so that the
poor mechanic will benefit as we'll as the
good one thereby.

The Royal Month and the Royal

Sudden changes OF the weather are espe-
cislly trying, aud probably to none more so
than to the scrofuous and consumptive.
The progress of scrotula during a normal
October is commonly great. We never
think of scrofula-its punches, cutaneous
eruptions, and wasting of the bodily sub
stance-without thinking OF the great good
many sufferers from it have derived from
Hoods Sarsaparilla, W lose radical and per-

NEW HAMPSHIRE POLITICS

LANCASTER, N. H Sept. 26 1t is
rumored upon what seems to be the
best authority that Governor Jordan
will be a candidate for the United
States Senate to succeed Senator Jacob
H. Gallinger. 1t is understood also
that he will have the active support of
some of the aspirants that were in the
fight last January. Governor Jordan
kept his hands off and took no part in
the contest, and is considered for
midable opponent to the senior Sena-
ator. His immense popularity will be
likely to send him to the upper house
of Congress.
