CARDINALS VS.. GROvEToNs.

At the Athletic Grounds Saturday
July 9 close and interesting game OF
baseball was played for six innings,
but a change of pitchers from Carpenter
to Solomon by the visitors in the seventh
led to their overwhelming defeat. The
former had kept the boys guessing on
slow balls, but in Solomon they found
an easy mark and got in two innings OF
heavy hitting. Mcconnell put up a
great game for the Grovetons at third,
and did some pretty work with the stick.
Colombo was in the box for the home
team, and while he had his troubles the
first four innings, pitched good game
striking out eleven men, and MADE the
sensational play of the game by stealing
home. Every man of the Cardinals
passed the rubber during the game. The
attendance was small, but the absentee'

THE WATER QUESTION.
Hearing Before the Commissioners.

Hearing Before the Commissioners.
The hearing in the case of Fitzgerald
Land & Lumber Co. ct ais VS. the Island
Pond Water Co., which was to begin
Tuesday, was adjourned until the follow
ing day, to see if the parties could arrive
at settlement Considerable time was
spent in attempting to effect this, and
finally liberal proposition, as they
believed, was made by the petitioners,
but it was rejected by the Water Co.
The hearing began at nine o'clock on
Wednesday morning before commission
ers Judge Ross, Judge Chase and p. S.
Smith. Young & Young, attorneys for
the Water Co., conceded to the commits
sioners that the water rates were
unreasonably high and that the petition
ers should recover their costs. The
attorneys for the Water Co. claimed that
the commissioners had no power to fix a
reasonable rate for the future, as the
language of the charter is that the
commissioners are to determine "whether
the amount of the tolls charged are
reasonable" Judge Ross said that in
his opinion the commissioners had the
power to fix a reasonable rate, but there
might be some question about it. He
also said E: The charter provides that
either party may petition the County
Court and procure re-hearing and il
that way delay a final trial in the
Supreme Court until the October term
1905; but that if the com mssioners
ruled that they had no power to fix {
reasonable rate, then a trial of that
question could be procured at the coming
October term of the Supreme Court
Therefore, in order to obtain speedy
determination of the question, tn,
commissioners would rule that they ha,
no power to fix reasonable rate, an,
let the case pass to the Supreme Cour
at once. Lawyers H. B. Howe of ST
Johnsbury, Harry b. Amey and H. W
Blake of Island Pond, appeared for tn
petitioners. Probably the petitioner
will not carry the case to the Suprem
Court, as they held a meeting Wedne'
day afternoon, and practically decided t
construct new water system at once.

MAGEE-CLINE.

Friends here will be deeply interested
in the following marriage notice, copied
from the Cranbrook (B. CO. Herald of
June 2. The bride formerly resided here
with her parents. The good wishes of
the community will be extended to her

One of the prettiest weddings ever
held in Cranbrook was the marriage
ceremony which united Miss Edythe

Magee, and Edward Cline in the bonds
of matrimony, which was solemnized at
st. James church Wednesday morning
at 8 o'clock. The church was beauti-

fully decorated with potted plants aud
evergreens, aud Immediately over the
gates in the chanoel rail hung a magui-
ficent marriage bell. formed Of evergreen
and trimmed with white blossoms.
When the wedding hour arrived the
strains of the wedding march pealed
forth from the organ played by Mrs. A.
L. McDermot, sister Of the bride. The
wedding party, which included the
bride, Miss Josie Neyin the bridesmaid,
and Harry Nevin and Milton Williams,
ushers, marched slowly up the aisle and
were met at the chancel rail by the
groom, who was in waiting with his best
man, X. J. Black. The bride and groom
knelt on the steps while the Rev. Father
Oulette, attired in the vestments of his
Office, performed the marriage ceremony
according to the rites of the holy Cath
Ollie church. The church was crowded
with the friends of the bride and groom,
and there were many whispers of praise
for the beautiful appearance of the
bride and the charming bridesmaid.
The bride was dressed in white eoline,
trimmed with chiffon and lace, made up
over white satin. She wore a white
tulle veil, caught up with orange bios
SONS. Her only ornament was a pearl
and diamond sunburst, gift of the groom.
She carried handsome bouquet of
brides roses.
Miss Nevin, the bridesmaid, wore
beautiful dress of blue eoline, trimmed
in lace and chiffon, with fancy hat
trimmed in ribbon and foliage. She
carried pink roses and carnations.
At the close of the ceremony the
bridal party and a few friends repaired
to the Magee home where an elegant
wedding breakfast was served, and words
of kindness, hope and congratulation
spoken for the bride and groom.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cline left on the after
noon train for Winnipeg and other
points in Manitoba and later will visit
Chicago and the Exposition at st. Louis,
returning in about six weeks.
The groom is one of Cranbrook's best
young men. For several years he has
been dispatcher on the c. p. X. at this
point, and his friends are legion. The
bride has been a resident of Cranbrook
for the past few years, and is popular
with all who know her. The Herald
joins with the host of friends of the con
tracing parties in wishing them life
of happiness and prosperity.
The presents were unusually numerous
and handsome.

SPECIAL BUSINESS MEMS MEETING

SfEoiaL bOSlNESS MEMS MEEIINu.
A special meeting of the Island Pond
Business Mems Association was held
Wednesday afternoon, July ID, called
for the purpose of discussing the advisa-
bility of the town owning its own water
system. After very general discussion,
with the statement that no satisfactory
adjustment of rates could be reached
with the Water Co., a committee of
three was appointed by the president to
formulate some plan of action, who after
a recess reported they had obtained legal
advice, and would recommend that the
Association do all in its power to have
the town own water system. A COM
mittee of three was thereupon appointed
to circulate petition asking the select
men to call special town meeting. The
committee was also instructed to ascer-
tain how many water takers in the vii
lage would agree to take water from a
system owned by the town at a reason
able rate II. B. Howe Of ST. Johnsbury,
attorney for the water takers in their
action with the Water Co., made very
clear statement of the present condition
of affairs, and demonstrated that it was a
good business proposition for the town
to own its own plant. The feeling was
generally expressed that the proper thing
for the town to do is to either buy out
the Water Co. at reasonable price, oil
install system of its own.
