There is demand for tenements with modern Improvements in that part of the town and conditions gen erally have improved there so that it pays to build now. because with suita. ble accommodation one can get just as good prices for tenements as are paid in any other part of the city The trolley will give the district q boom and in few years it is not like ly that there will be many vacant lots on Baldwin street clear down to the Pearl Lakes road. Real Estate Agent Hynes, who is selling lots in that part of the town. says the assurance that the trolley will be down there this win ter has already been felt in many ways. People who were undecided as to when they would build are moving in that direction and others who didn't want to make purchases until the trol- ley question was settled are now will ing to he interviewed with the result that a man who has something to sell does not find if so hard to get a hear ing with prospective purchasers of building lots as he did when the trOl- Icy service was in doubt

kEILTY WAS SAUCY.
Refused to Answer Attorney in q
 Horse Suit Case.

Eugene Keilty, a clerk in Foote's grocery on West Main street, made himself quite disagreeable to Justice Dayton and Attorney Lynch in Wa tertown last evening. KeiIty sued James Semple for obtaining $70 under alleged false pretenses and Attorney Lynch defended the accused Keilty refused to answer some questions and was reprOved by the court To others he replied that it was none of Attor- ney Lynch's business. Keilty's pe- culiar conduct aroused the curiosity of the people present.
 The difficulty was over horse. Semple said he could get as fine horse as ever was for $50 in Canada. Keilty gave him the money to go there and get one, but Semple found that cows far off have long horns. He could not get good horse in all Cam ada for $50 so he telegraphed for more money and Keilty sent him S2O Still there was no horse produced. The case was continued.
