IMPORTANT
QUESTION
RAISED

Counsel for the Bristol County Street
Railway company have raised the ques-
ton of the constitutionsiity of chapter ss5
OF the Public avs. This chapter pro-
vides that actions at law sounding in tort
may be instituted against non-residents
having property within this state by origi-
nal writ of attachment.
Some time ago Attorney Peter J. Quinn
OF Pawtucket instituted suits in behalf
Of Martha Plouf and her husband, Omar
Plouf, against the Bristol County Street
Railway company TO recover damages
Tor the failure Of the company TO carry
them TO their destination. at Taunton, as
II was agreed, Mr.. and Mrs Plouf assert,
the company would do.
The passengers were ordered to leave
the car at Briggs corner. which is where
the car barn Is. and about half way be-
tween the cities OF Pawtucket and Taun-
ton, and were forced to go to Attleboro
and take the steam railroad from there
Mr.. and Mrs. Plouf claimed their health
was seriously impaired as a result
Attorney Quinn attached one of the
company's cars at Pawtucket and the
car was left In the state for a time the
other cars OF the company only running
to the other side OF the state line. Finally
cars resumed their trips TO the Pawtucket
terminus.
Edwards and Angel answered the suit
specially in the common pleas division
when IL was entered some days ago They
raise a number OF questions, but the
most interesting one s whether the law
concerning attachment of the property
OF non-residents In tort action is consti-
tutfonaI or not. The property or citf-
zen OF this state cannot be attached In
tort actions. cases such as those charg-
ing negligence or implying any violation
of duty. on original writ OF attachment
1t is argued by counsel for the Bristol
County Street railway that there can be
no restrictions OF this nature put on prop
erty OF those not citizens as Is sought to
be done by this law.
The service OF the writ is also attacked.
as Il is claimed that rolling stock cannot
be attached in this way.

Under and Over the Sea.

Prior to the opening of the
Worlds Fair, if you wished to
view the wonders of the deep, it
was necessary either to don the
ugly and ungainly suit of a diver
and descend to the bottom of the
ocean, or else take a trip across
the continent to the Pacific coast,
and there by boat proceed to st.
Catalina across a rough channel,
where you find the glass
boats. In these boats a fine view
of the grandeur of mountain and
valley, fishes and sea gardens, is
obtained. 1t remained for st.
Louis and the great Exposition to
bring these things within easy
reach, as well as the many other
samples of wonderful phenomena.
A visit to Under and Over the Sea
recalls not a few of the pleasures
experienced by a sail out from
East Avalon. OF course you have
spent hours porting over the fasci-
mating story "Forty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea-" by Jules
Verne, and doubtless you have
read with glowing interest the ex-
ploits of Santos Dumont and his
air ship. All this may become
delightfully."- realistic" by taking
in this voyage ''under the sea to
Paris and returning by the Rain
bow Route" Large crowds are
attracted to the concession, Under
and Over the Sea, by the music of
the organ chimes. 1t requires two
performers to operate these chimes,
and as the people gather these two
young men delight the audience
with both classic selections and
popular airs. After procuring
your ticket you are passed within
the gate, and there await the COM
ing of the boat that is to take you
beneath the surface. There is a
bubbling of the water, and a tink-
ling of music, and the great black
boat appears above the water.
The captain or guide directs you
to descend by a broad companion
way to the cabin of a submarine
vessel, the matches are closed and
battened down, and the order is
given to the man at the wheel to
descend one hundred fathoms be-
low the surface. Then the vessel
starts on its three thousand mile
voyage to Paris, while the de-
lighted passengers, through the
transparent sides of the ship, study
the various kinds of submarine
animal and vegetable life and
fossil formations, until, in a re-
markedly short time the vessel
ascends the river Seine and you
find yourself in the fair and wicked
metropolis. We are Immediately
conducted to the Eiffel Tower and,
ascending to the top Of that Won
derful structure, enter the car of
an airship whence we look down
upon the gay city for a few mo-
ments before departing for Amer

lea and the greatest Worlds Fair.
Then the great airship is unmoored
and the aerial journey is begun.
For a brief space we gaze upon a
varied and beautiful landscape.
then dash boldly out over the sea,
at first calm and peaceful, but later
torn and tossed by tempest until
entirely shut out from view by a
cyclone that RACES furiously all
around us. The scene is truly
terrific, but is soon left in the
wake of the swift-sailing airship.
And now we are floating over New
York City; then we recognize the
horseshoe Bend and other famil-
lar scenes in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and now the great
Eads bridge and fair st. Louis
come into view, and, ~"presto!" we
are again on the Pike, congratu-
lating n another on the beauties
and pleasures of the trip.
The illusions of this trip are
truly wonderful. The effects, we
understand, are all electrical and
were completed at a cost of more
than S125, 000. 1t deserves it's
share of patronage. EsCAL1TE.
