DAMAGE CASE NEXT
IN COUNTY COURT
H. F. Jordan, Administrator, Sues D.
NJ. Brosnahan for $4,000 on Account
of Death of William Collier.

The attention of the county court
today is riveted upon the case of
David Duquette of Rowe, Mass,
against George +. Corkins of Whiting
ham, a suit arising from a dispute
over the balance due in horse trade.
The sum of $3.50 involved. F. L.
Barber is attorney for the plaintiff
and Chase & Chase represent the de-
fendant.
The court will take up tomorrow
the suit of Henry F. Jordan of Brat
tleboro administrator of the estate
of William Collier, against Daniel
Brosnahan, the we'll known truckman.
This suit is brought to recover $4,000
damages on account of the death OF
Mr.. Collier a little over a year ago
from injuries received by being struck
by a runaway team of the defendant,
which ran down Main street from the
rear of the Dunham Brothers building.
Mr.. Collier, who had just come down
from the Crosby block to the steet
for the purpose, it is claimed, OF
getting his daily supply of milk, was
struck by the team and so injured that
he died. Whether he was struck
while attempting to stop the team, Is
the question upon which the case
hinges.
Chase & Chase are counsel for the
plaintiff and II. G. g. f. f. Barber
represent the defendant. Photographs
and measurements of the scene of the
accident, which was in front of the
lower Main street entrance to Crosby
block, have been made today, to be
used in the trial of the case.

ALBANY, n. Y. SPIT. 30.-Gov. Sui
zer won triple victory over his ac-
cusers at the trial of his Impeachment
yesterday,
Presiding Judge Cullen of the High
court, barred the Introduction Of evil
dence to prove that the governor had
made a corrupt political bargain with
Assemblyman Patrie Of Green county,
and held that the evidence brought for
ward to show that he had made similar
bargains with Assemblyman Sweet of
Oswego county, and Assemblyman
Prime of Essex, was incompetent.
The legislation had to do in each case
with certain improvements, highway
and bridge, which the assemblymen had
advocated in bills subsequently, passed
by the legislature to which they were
desirous of getting the governor 5 sig
nature. IN the Patrie case, however. no
charges were brought in the articles Of
Impeachment and it was on this ground
that Presiding Judge Cullen threw the
charge out of court. The Patrie case
was first mentioned by Eugene Lamb
Richards i'll his address opening the trial
for the assembly managers
The Sweet amt Prime cases We're
specified in article VII of the impeach-
ment where it was charged that the gov
ernor had vetoed in one case and sign
ed in the other bills of the two as
sembIymen. One had failed to support
the direct primary bin and the other
did so after consulting Sulzer. the man
ayers charged.

Gilman & Helyar Plan Survey
which Probably Will
Require Month
EIGHT FEET SQUARE
COST ABOUT $500
NO Accurate Map of Town in Exist
ence-New One Will Embrace Many
Features, Including Names of Owners
Where Houses are Located.

A map of Brattleboro. larger and
better than any ever published hither-
to, is contemplated by Gilman G. Hell
var, civil engineers. The issuance of
the map is contingent only upon one
condltIon-an advance sale of a suffi.
clent number of copies to cover the
cost of the undertaking. Judging
from the reception which the plan has
met thus far, the project seems to be
assured, as about every person who
has been approached on the subject has
subscribed for a map.
Gilman & Helysr do a large amount
of surveying for the town and find
1T necessary very often to refer to the
map of the town in the town clerks of
flee That is the best one in existence,
but it is not wholly accurate. Several
maps of the town are full of mac
curacies. In order to provide q map
for their own use and one for the
town, one which should be accurate,
up-to date and more comprehensive
than any ever attempted, the survey
ors decided to make a new one, on a
larger. scale than previous maps, pro-
vided they could secure subscriptions
enough to protect them from loss, but
not with the idea of yielding a profit.
They figured that it would take a
month or more to complete the work
and that it would cost at least
$500 They plan TO sell copies at So
each and to begin the survey as soon
as enough copies have been sold to
guarantee the project. a canvass to
1 this end is now being made.
! The new map will be about eight
( feet square and will embrace the
whole town, from Dummerston to Yer
! non and from the Connecticut river to
Marlboro. 1t viii show the location
of the streets, buildings, streams, roads,
bridges, and culverts, all the property
lines in the village and where possible
the property lines outside the village.
The surveyors plan to include the
names of the owners of the properties
on which houses are located and per-
haps the sea level elevations at the
functions of the principal roads. Vari-
Gus other features also will be included.
The map itself will be in black lines
on white paper, the streams being IN
blue. The engineers can make copies
reduced to any size desired. The old
maps of the town, in spite of their
inaccuracies have been of much value,
and a new and accurate map will be
sure to increase in value as the years
go bv If the town should make an
appropriation for such a map, which
apparently will not be necessary, 1T
would be money well spent.
