 Town Wins Point.
 Plainyille won a point in it's suit against the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company for damages re- sulting from the destruction by gas of shade trees on the highways yesterday when Judge Gardiner Greene of tho superior court oVCrrulcd the dofand- ants demurrer to the complaint. Arguments on the demurrer were made in February by Judge W. r. t1CnnCN, representing the town and x. r.. PiCrcC the COmpanN'S lawyer, but the decision was not given until vest CrdaN.
 Damages of 5000 are asked for hN the town which asks to be rcim- hurScd for the expense it was put to in removing the StumpS of the trees in addition to getting CoInpenSa- ton for the damage liable to be done to the highways because of the death of tho ClmS and naples.
 According to the defendant the three elements shown as d basis fer the action, the destruction of the trees. lhC expense of inspectors and supcrintcndCnts over the work of re- pairing the gas mains and the re- nloVal of the dead trees, did not form q legal element in d civil action by the town, particularly because the trees were owned by the abutting property owners
 While admitting that title to the trees belongs to the property owners, Judge Greene ruled that the public has an interest in them. He explained that the town represented the pubic in the care of the highways and is under statutory duty to keep them in repair, besides being liable for any in jury that ma: result from defects i1 them. For that reason he claim ed it. was the duty of the town to remove the stumps as there might have beClf dangerous defects in highways had they been allowed to remain.

Claim No IItcriOr Motive.

Friends of Char>v> H. Calor are eN- that the former selectman attempted to put "SOm cthng over" at the re- cent republican caucus when he nom- mated Edward T. Carter for chair man of the town committee. Tn some quarters there seemingly is a sus- picion that MT. Calor'S object in get ting MT. Carter to head the town committee, was to remove him as a possible candidate for senator, it being rumorcd that MT. Calor would like the place himself.
 MT. Carter declined to accept the Chairmanship the day after his elcc- ton, and stated that he would have turned it down at the caucus had not an adjournment been taken before he hardly had a chance to get his breath. He gave poor health as a reason for his, deClination.
 The names of A. IT. Condcll. Mr. Carter and MT. Calor have been mon toned in connection with the sen atOriaI nomination, which plainvillo republicans claim they have reason to hope will come here this fall Although MT. Calor had made no an-
  for the berth, his friends have started a boom for him. MT. Carter would also like the honor, although he has been quoted as saying that he would not make a try for it if MT. Condell sought the favor of the convention. The latter has not stated his position in the matter. He has been a candi- dat at three of the conventions and would probably be willing to run again this fall.
 There has been no open break be tween the men suggested as candi- dates. A contest between local men would probably he disastcrous to PlainNille's chances of getting the nomination. as other towns in the dis trict arc casting cnviouS glanccs at the honor and il is by no means d forcgonc conclusion that the delc- gates will unite on a candidate from here.
