goat of the evening at one end of the
hall, but afforded as much amusement
for the sports" of the party as any
other entertainment offered. After
spending several hours sat the various
amusements offered, the people were
treated to fine entertainment which
was produced entirely by the school tai
ent. Spiced with few musical mum

"There was no kidnapping in the
case of Consul Jenkins, because it was
his own desire, and he volunteered to
come with me- We would not accept
the money which some one sent to US.
This will prove that it was not case

a hospital at Troy, n Y, by her moth

wounded, but it is reported that she
was wounded in one eye and in the
temple, and that if she RECEIVERS she
will lose the sight of her right eye.

ST. ALBANs TROLLEY SUSPENDED
Because Of Dispute Over St. Adams
city's Claim Against Company.

Clinton, Mass, directors Of the st. Al
bans & Swanton Traction company,
who met the city council Monday even
ing to discuss settlement Of the city's
claim against the company left for
their respective homes yesterday after
giving instructions to A. w, Peterson,
superintendent Of the road, to put the
cars into the barn after the days
schedule is completed and leave them
there until further orders, This means
a suspension of the trolley service be-
tween this city and Swanton and this
city and st. Albans bay for an indefi-
mite period,
This action was taken following the
decision Of the council to make com
promise offer of 80 cents on the dol
lar of the indebtedness. The suspen-
sion order was made even before City
Attorney Roswell NJ Austin could get
in touch with the officials of the road
to discuss the proposed compromise
The city had not instituted any suit.
City Attorney Austin said that the
action OF the officials was taken with
out any immediate need and he eX-
pressed the opinion that these officials
knew they held the whip hand and
were using t. The opinion has been
expressed that the company in reality
welcomes the opportunity to suspend
because it has been in financial difficult
ties for some time.
According to Mr.. Austin the street
railway is financially irresponsible and
in reality is a menace instead of ben
eft. The attorney said that he was
informed that the railway company
carried no indemnity insurance and
that if child or adult should become
injured or killed through the company :
negligence there could be no recovery
of damages because the company does
not possess financial ability to pay
damages.
