 The baby carriage case, so-called,
 which came up at the town hall on
 Monday was continued until Friday: A demurrer to the plea was entered on the ground that it contained two separate actions, and the attorney for the plaintiff asked for an extension of time to correct the matter. There is a rumor that Mrs. Butkins, who was wheeling the carriage which conta1neo the young Butlkins who was tipped out, had placed the vehicle crossways
 on the road, near the railroad bridge
 where the accident took place, and that MT. KIims, coming under the bridge with his team, happened to get there just as a train was passing over h0aQ, when n1S horse DSCdIIl0 lIiShI- ened and unmanageab1e. But if the
 road had been clear he would not have
 run into the baby carriage and spilled young Butkins. If the carriage was very badly damag ged, it's appearance in
 court will be mute witness to that fact.
 There are now not less than 15 tray
 cling libraries going up and down the various districts of the town, each containing 40 books.
 An amusing story is told of Berry,
 the tanitor, sexton, organ blower, and bell ringer of St. Pau1s. He went out on Sunday to inspect the Italian
 man-of-war, and being a colored gen
 tleman, excited so much curiosity he
 was detained and could not, or did not, return to town in season to open the church, ring the bell, and blow the organ. As he had the key to the sanctuary, someone had to climb in through a window and open the front door, The fact had been pretty ex- | tensiveIy advertised that Mrs. Dun- ham of Boston was to sing, and a
 violin ogligato was expected from | Pemberton Sturges and Marion Dun-
 ham. As there was no one to blow
 the organ, the music had to be post
 poned. A large crowd gathered ir front of the church, and many anxious l inquiries were made for the missing | Berry.
