the Maine Central Railroad Co. by
Hon. Seth NJ. Carter Of Auburn. and
the Lewiston, Augusta & Watervillt
Street Railway by Hon II. M. Heath
of Augusta, and in the course of the
hearing the necessity of continuance
was brought about by Mr.. Mclean,
who stated that the city was prepared
to claim that the work was not fin
ished and that therefore it's entire
cost could not be determined.
Mr. Carter stated that it was neces-
sary that the cost should be fixed al
once in ORDER that the matter might
pass through the usual course in thu
office of tie State auditor before tht
end of the current year. He further
stated tlat the entire cost Ct the i'm
prOvements made was $19l 900 instead
of $lOO, 900, the cost fixed in the first
estimate.
Mr.. Heath, for the Street Railway
Company, fled hill for $500 as an offse'
which he claimed should be deducted
from that company's share of the eX-
pense, that sum having been expended
by the company in changing it's tracks
for the accommodation of the public.
Chairman Spofford of the railroad
commissioners stated that they would
either allow the bill or dismiss it for
want Of jurisdiction, so that the mat
ter might be adjusted in the courts.
Mr.. Mclean stated that in behalf
of the city of Augusta, he wished
to object to an immediate decision
on the ground that the work had not
been completed. He declared that
Court street was not yet properly
provided for. that the steel bridge
on Rines hill now rested on wood
en- blocks, that the matter of grade
and the disposition of old crossings
were still unsettled, and that the city
wished to insist that some, at least
of these matters be settled before the
final cost is determined and the CITY
is ,omueled to pay it's share. lie

WIFE'S LOVE LOST
Henry L. Thede of Moline Lays
Blame Upon His Mother
in-Law, Mrs. Eiker.
ENTERS SUIT AGAINST HER
Asks $4,000 Damages for Alienation
of Spouse's Affections-Wants
Wedding Ring Back.

Henry L. Thede of Moline is the
complainant in rather unusual suit
for damages which was filed today in
the office of the circuit clerk The
bill names the mother-in-law OF the
plaintiff, Mrs. Trena Eiker, also of Mo-
line, as the defendant and asks that
she be forced to pay $4,000 to the COM
plainant as the result of her having
alienated the affections of Mr.. Thede's
wife, Bernice Thede. The disgruntled
husband claims that he and his spouse
lived happily together until the moth
er-in-law took a hand in their matri-
monial affairs and stole his wife's af-
fections from him by stories which
he claimed had no foundation whatso-
ever. The couple are now separated
though not divorced and Mr.. Thede
lays the entire blame upon Mrs. Eiker.
Wants Wedding Ring Back.
Together with the suit for damages
against his mother-in-law, Thede
also filed replevin suit naming both
Mrs. Eiker and his own wife. In this
instrument he claims that the two de-
PENDANTS are wrongfully holding a
considerable quantity of silverware.
clothing and the like that belongs to
him, and that they have refused to
give him possession of the goods.
Among the articles enumerated in the
list is a gold wedding ring, which he
gave to his wife when the couple were
united in marriage. The remainder OF
the stuff is principally silverware, his
own clothing, and number of tools.
Attorney G. A. Shallberg is repre-
senting the complainant.

motor cycle and an automobile
collided yesterday evening about 5
O'Clock and the results were disas-
trous to the former, although no SER
spective machines resulted. Arno Tri-
mann, whose home is on Twenty-third
street in this city, was driving a ma
chine east on Fifth avenue. AS he
neared Thirtieth street he caught up
with street car and for a time he
drove just behind It. AS the car pass
ed Thirtieth street, a motorcycle on
which August Brissman of Moline was
riding, came west and turned up the
street. The cyclist could not see the
auto and the autoist could not see the
other because Of the street car and
the result was that the smaller ma
chine ran squarely into the automo-
bile.
Motorcycle Smashed.
Brissman's machine was pretty well
demolished and the automobile did not
escape scott free but despite the fact
that both drivers we're hitting It up
at pretty good clip, the collision had
no really serious effects as it might
well have done. Brissman was thrown
to the pavement and dragged a short
distance before the automobile could
be stopped but beyond a few bruises
and a slight injury to one OF his legs.
he was not badly hurt. He was re-
moved to his home in the automobile.
Brissman is inclined TO blame the
autoist for the accident while the lat
ter says it was the fault Of the for
mer while spectators say that the &C
cident was unavoidable and that
neither is any more to blame than the
other.
