MR.. BAKER STILL ILL.
No Trials In Number Of Railroad Cases Iha
Were Assigned for Today.

A general air Of peace and quietness
peryaded the lower portion OF the Provi-
dence county court house. where closed
doors of the rooms used by the common
pleas division Of the supreme court indi-
Gated nothing doing.
The docket for today showed n total
of eight cases assigned for trial and or
these six were against the Rhode Island
company or It's various branches.
As Mr.. David 8. Baker, who is counsel
for the Rhode Island company, is still re-
ported on the sick list these cases could
not be tried. leaving but two others to
divide between the two court rooms. or
these one was found 20 be not ready Tor
trial and the other, which was the suit OF
Hattie Sharpe against the city treasurer
OF Providence for 5000 damages.
This case. Mr.. o. l.. Bosworth appear
ing for Irving Champlain, counsel for the
plaintiff, who Is now all, was ready Tor
trial The woman claimed damages for
injuries received by fall caused by a
hole In the sidewalk on India street.
AS the hole In question was near a
building OF the Rhode Island company
and II was suggested II might be caused
by water running from the roof OF the
building Mr.. l.. A. Waterman. who In
associated with Mr.. Baker In the cases
of the railroad company, stated that they
had been summoned az partly responsible
and that II would be proper to have the
railroad company represented by counsel
Mr.. Baker being on the sick list, this
case was continued also.
The condition promises 10 continue as
/ bad, for tomorrow out OF a docket OF
| seven cases assigned for trial six are
against the Rhode Island company.
The position in which the counsel for
the other side in these cases Is placed Is
n rather provoking one, but as yet nc
remedy has been discovered TO prevent
the absence of one man holding UP half q
hundred cases.
