Mrs. b. NJ. knight, of Monarch, has
been visiting friends at Lockhart.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. w. Bobo and

her daughter, Mrs. Joe Meggs.
l see that Hey Denver was so un-
fortunate as to lose an attachment to
his watch chain and was fortunate
enough TO find it. Now Homo is
somewhat in that line but did not
find it out for severel days. He ex-
changed hats with some one or some
one exchanged with him. The hats
are OF the same size and resemble
each other very much, and very
probable the exchange was made from
some ones hat rack and the other
party may be somewhat puzzled and
may have wondered that he did not
notice it before that "Lockhart
Mills was printed in his hat. Let's
hear from you brother.
Our Superintendent, J. H. Will
liams, has been off on a vacation.
During his absence Mr.. w. T. Gar

ton he filled with satisfaction to all
parties concerned.

Southern Railway, has returned from
the bedside of sick relative and is
at his post again.
There were three clerks installed
in Lockhart store last week as fol-
lows: Messrs. S. NJ. Eison and j.
3. Hays from Seneca, and Mr.. E B.
Lemons from Gaffney, the first two
named ure in the grocery department
and the last one in the dry goods
department.
One morning last week one of our
section hands requested man who
was out to call at his house and tell
his wife to send him his knife, and
by way of reward added to tell her
to look in his trunk and give him a
dram for his tronble. The errand
man delivered his message and the
knife was sent, and after the boy
was gone made the other request.
The bottle was produced and he Goa
cluded he would take it therefrom.
The mistress of the house returned
to her culinary duties and the man
in question raised the hottl, to drink
therefrom when he saw 'possum
near the window rather behind the
curtain. He was a sober man and
did not think he had the Jim Jams
but was alarmed. At last he saw it
move. He called the good woman
in to investigate. She did not know
anything about it. On request he
got the animal down and he is now
in box to fatten. 1t had possibly
crept in window during the night.

THE PATRICK TRIAL.
Rice NiiI of 1895 Ten Times Ruled Ont
 by Recorder Gor

| New York, Jan. 30.-When Recorder 1 Golf closed court for the day in the 1 trial of Albert T. Patrick for the mur-
 der of William Marsh Rice he had for
 the tenth time during the progress of the hearing so far ruled out the adms-
 sion of the Rice will of 1896, which the prosecution has been trying to get into the records.
 Following the evidence of Barker
 Norman & Maldrum, who was on the
 stand to-day, that the signature of the
 assignment of Rice's estate to Patrick
 was a forgery and that the signature
 to the 1896 will was genuine, came the
 testimony of Joseph l.. Blinn of Springfield, Mass, a nephew of the dead man. Mr Blinn told of being summoned to New York by Patrick and said the latter told him (3linn) he was to get s3000O of the estate under the 1900 or Patrick will.
 Then came the cross examination of MT. Blinn by Attorney House of coun- sel for the defense. He brought out from the witness that there was an arrangement by which Mir Blinn was to receive $75 900 from the Rice institute if the will of 1896 were probated Under this 1896 will MT. Blinn's shares was s5 ,0oo Witness said the arrangement was in writing, it came from Colonel Joseph Rice Civilian Marsh Rice's nephew) and he (Bllnn) had signed the paper

M Rice at Houston.

WATER CONTRACT MATTER
MORE ANNOUNCEMENT ACTION
 BY ALDERMEN LAST NIGHT
but of Different Composition From Tint Endorsed by counciImen- Alder men Wright and w. F. Walsh Named M cm bers- Fears of a Scheme to Tie the Matter Up Until After Present Com
tract Expires.

The aldermen in special session last night took non concurrent action with the councilmen and the result is that if concurrent action is to be secured be- fore the next regular councilmanic meeting and In time to permit of a set clement of the contract matter before the present contract expires February 20, a special meeting of the councilmen must be held.
 There are fears expressed by many citizens that there is deep laid scheme to tie up the water contract matter in the court of common council until after the present contract expires when the Water company will be in position, they say, to dictate terms. The action of the board of aldermen last night in- creased these fears among those who entertained them. The aldermen al- though practically concurring with the councilmen really took non-concurrent action,
 Those who express the fears referred to above say that all the non-concurrent action which has been taken has been the result of scheme to tie up the contract matter and are looking for further non concurrent action to enable such a plan to be fulfilled.
 As soon as the board had been called to order last night, the first message from the mayor relating to the con- tract, and the amendments proposed by President Whitney of the Water com pany were read.
 The following additional communica- ton from the mayor was read: To the Honorable Court of Common
 Council:
 Gentlemen: The board of counciI- men, at their meeting on January 27th, adopted a resolution referring my mes sage concerning the proposed contract between the city and the New Haven Water company, with the amendments suggested by the Water company and transmitted with my message, and the continuing contract and all other matters pertaining to said con- tract to new special committee, to consist of the mayor, the corporation three counclmen and two al dermen, said committee to hold public hearings and report back as soon as possible.
 T have some question concerning the legality and advisability of this pro- posed action, and in view of the short time left for the disposition of this matter before the expiration of the present contract, I feel it wise to ad- dress you concerning the resolution so

WORK ON DERBY EXTENSION
TIFF FAIR HAVEN ROAD TO BEGIN
 IT FIERY SOON.

| Nearly All the Options Secured to the
 Necessary Right of Way-About Hali
 the Line to be Over Private Way--Ad-
 vantages gesofThis.-Two O Highway Cross
 ings to bo Avoid ed -speoif1cationsN Now in Hands of the aiIs 1 Ordered.
 The Fair Haven and Westville Rail-
 road company has secured nearly all of
 the options to the necessary right of
 way for it's Derby extension. Where
 practicable the negotiations have been
 so conducted as to enable the road to 1 leave the highway and go over a pri- vate way which gives far better line and grade and also decreases the dan ger of accidents. About half of the ex tension will be thus constructed, and the precautionary measure of fencing it in on both sides will also be taken.
 In the building of the Nine every care has been taken to avoid highway cross ings at grade wherever possible, and as result two will be eliminated by the building of staunch steel bridges The first of these will be at point near the top of Long Hill, or less than a mila from the present end of the line on Der by avenue. The line will go under this bridge, while at the second bridge, a short distance beyond, the line will go over. To meet the requirements of the layout it will be necessary to remove several buildings, including houses and barns which are in the way, but the company has stopped at no reasonable expense to secure the best and safest layout
 Specifications for the grading of the roadbed have been given to the contrac- tors for bids, and the specifications for the bridges are also ready. Several New Haven concerns are among the bidders. For the grading it will be nec- essary to excavate 10000 cubic yards of rock and 60,O0O of earth which is costly job, but will afford a road as good as that of a steam railroad. AS soon as the bids are in and the con- tracts awarded, which may be next week, the company hopes to begin work on some of the larger cuts, which will be twenty-four feet deep in some places and will make the extension costly one It. is probable that the grading will be completed by July 1, but the date for the opening of the line cannot at this time be set The rails for the road have already been ordered
 The Connecticut Power and Lighting which has the charter for ex- tending it's line from Derby to meet that of the local company, has not yet ad- vertised for bids for construction, as 1t has not definitely decided on the layout 1t wishes to follow This may cause some delay in getting a complete road to Derby, but will not deter the Fair Haven road from pushing forward it's i. work.

 Reached,
 Boston, Jan. 30-The teamsters' strike in Boston took on a new phase to- night by the request of the Allied Freight Transportation council that the National Civic Federation investi- gate the trouble. This appeal was con- tained in the following telegram;
 Boston, Jan. 30, 1902.
 ITO Hon. Marcus A. Hanna, Chairman
 of the Industrial Commission Civic | Federation, Washington, D. C.: "A strike having international effect is threatened in Boston because of the refusal of one concern to grant condi- tions acceded to by it's competitors. 1 Freight handlers, clerks, longshoremen and others to the number of SO,0O0 may be involved-interrupti industry in every direction A strike will be a na- tional calamity. Confident that import ance of expected trouble is sufficient to demand action by your commission, we respectfully invite you to have your cO1lttllSSlOu meet III bOSlOli, lllNGSllSd dle, adjust and publicly declare it's opinion Conditions, if not adjusted, will result in public disaster. We deplore repe- ton of the San Francisco strike. This strike, if occurring, will, in our opinion, be the more disastrous. Prompt action necessary.
 (5igned:) oscar F. Cox, President Allied Freight Transporta-
 ton Council
 To-day only ninety policemen were on special duty in the strike district as compared with nearly 300 during the period within which the most turbulent scenes were enacted and these officers were so widely scattered that a casual observer scarcely would have noticed their presence. The Brine company had twenty teams at work and experi- enced no difficulty in moving goods | wherever it's teams were sent.
 The executive committee of the Team sters' union and representatives of the Allied Freight Transportation council and Longshoremen's union held a long conference at which the matter of a sympathetic strike was discussed It was stated that freight handlers and oLilel dllleu UouleS are very restless on account of being obliged to handle freight delivered by the Brine teams and that strong hand will be required to keep them in check
 The outcome of the conference was decision to lay the facts in the case be- fore the state board of arbitration and to ask the arbitration committee of the National Civic Federation to hold an inquiry. A telegram to the latter body accOrdinpIv was sant
