ROCKVILLE, Nd May o. 1902.
Judge OHM c. Motter has filed his opin-
ion in the case of H. Maurice Talbot. as
signee against the National Chautauqua
Company of Glen Echo. The facts brought
out In the case show that in 1893 the Chau-
tauqua Company purchased an organ from
the Carl Barckhoff Organ Company Of Sa-
lem, Ohio, and gave its note for $3,3O9. 10,
representing the third payment. When the
note fell due at the expiration Of three
months, Chautauqua Company failed to
pay it and the organ company consented to
renew the note for three months provided
it was secured by a mortgage on a por-
ton of the Chautauqua property at Glen
Echo. The mortgage was given and later
it was assigned to the Baltimore Building
and Loan Association. The Chautauqua
Company again failed to pay the note when
1t fell due and the mortgage was as
signed to H. Maurice Talbot of Rockville
for foreclosure. The property was sold at
public auction to the Baltimore Building
and Loan Association. Exceptions to the
ratification of the sale were filed by the
Chautauqua Company, the contention being
that the price brought was not adequate
The decision of the court overruled the ex-
ceptions and ratified the sale.

Chase mill here this forenoon, when 10 OF

reason TO believe that by tomorrow morn

would be in operation.
Ten days ago about 100 weavers struck
In the Chase mill out OF sympathy for
the OlneyVille contingent ana the produc-
tion of cloth In this plant was effectually
stopped. One faction of the weavers OPP
posed the strike on the ground that they
had no grievance, but the majority fa-
vored 1t. and all except eleven left work
at the instance of committee of strike
leaders sent from headquarters in Olney-

ers were forced out for the reason that

EAST PROVIDENCE.

This appears to be a trimming year
at East Providence. for at the financial
town meeting this forenoon Judge Bliss.
who for many years has been looked
upon as a leader, got trimmed for fair
his pet scheme OF building s27.0 900 school
house being knocked completely out, and
the project of his old opponent. George
Macleod, carried with but two dissenting
votes.
The meeting was called TO order at the
usual hour and the attendance was
large.
Plain sailing was the rule until Judge
Bliss arose TO present The resolution call
ing for the expenditure of $4,000 for "a
new eight-room schoolhouse, and then
the remarks could be heard over the
hall: Now for the fight"
The first rap that Judge Bliss got was
when the body voted almost TO a man
10 strike out the name of the school
committee from the resolution. and dur
ing this particular debate his honor said
that he did not have confidence enough in
the presept council to elect good men on
the committee, but he did not convince
his hearers on this subject.
Then Mr.. Macleod presented a SUBJ
stitutc motion TO build a four-room addi-
tion to the Grove street school at a cost
of $4,000. and after nearly an hours de-
udIt, Tnufn Oh the liInt DflIB utNOttu To
personalities. Mr.. Macleods motion was
carried, Judge Bliss voice being heard in
the mega tive, and was the only one.
During the debate there were many and
varied amendments and among them there
was one by Judge Bliss to have the entire
matter postponed. but in this he was
badly beaten, and Macleod was master
OF the situation.
This was the only important measure
before the meeting.
Maurice Moriarty, the smallpox patient
is much weaker this morning and will
not probably live more than two days at
the most for. according 10 the statement
OF the attending physician, should be re-
cover Il will be a wonderful case.
The condition of affairs at the house
are somewhat critical and no one knows
just what the outcome will be. but those
in charge are doing all that is possible
TO confine the case TO the present one.
The man who slept with Moriarty the
evening he was taken sick is among the
persons who are quarantined. and his
presence among the others Is not just
what Is desired.
The whole number, however. have will
ingly submitted to all requests OF Health
Officer Mason Il. Wood and the attend
ing physician. both OF whom are doing
all they can to make them contented.
