Barrows, couplcd with the unsatisfactory method of court arrangement, about 40 civil cases in which Westerly people are inter- ested are continued at least to the February term of the superior court, and perhaps some of them indefinit The court adjourned from Wester- 1y to Kingston a little over two weeks ago, and Thursday of last week ad- journed to Monday of this _w: Since then there have been adjou: Then Clerk Haswell announced that due to the fllness of Judge Bar- rows the jirors were excused for the term and, by order of the clerk, Depu- ty Sheriff Mitchell declared court ad- journed to meet again according to law. This means that the court will come in again at Kingston in Febru- ary, and after the cases for that end of the county are completed the court will adjourn to Westerly to hear the cases from this end of Washington county. There are no separate crim- inal and civil terms of the court, but preference is given to criminal cases, and the fag end of the sessions is -le- voted to pivil cases, and in Westerly. Sessions are held in February, April, September and November. At the ad- Jjourned September session in West: the whole time was devoted to the Mansfleld trial, the civil docket not being reached. "In consequence of the court method, there have been only three or four civil cases disposed of since last April, although there is an accumulation of perhaps 40 Westerly cases on the docket. The Westerly delegation in the next general assembly will endeavor to have the laws so changed that there will be two regular sessions of tne superior court in Westerly and two regular -sessions in Kingston, regara- less of adjourned sessions when e: pedient, and thereby give Westerly cases an equal chance of trial with cases from other sections of the coun- ty. With the law changed for regular sessions in Westerly, divorce cases could be disposed of in Westerly as well as in Kingston, and other legal conveniences would obtain were not all sessions of the superibr court in We: erly adjournments from Kingston, ani at the option of the presiding justice. The court accommodations at West- erly are far superior to the accommo- dations at Kingston, and this will e among the arguments used to bring about the changes in the existing laws relating to sessions of the superior court for Washington county. James B. Mowry, commissioner of forestry for Rhode Island, will repra- sent the state at the forestry congress in Washington next month, to con- slder plans to end the white pine plis- ter rust. Mr. Mowry urges that all currant bushes in the state be de- stroyed, as they aid materially in spreading the Dlister to the white pines. The currant cfop, he says, Is worth only $2500 a year, and the white pine stock is 57,000,000 board feet with 2,000,000 increment each year. Like a number of related fungl, this fungus parasite depends on two hosts, the white pine and plants of the genus Ribes, which comprises currants and gooseberrles, It was brought into this country from Germany on nursery atock of white pine. Its presence ren- ders the growing of our native white pine impracticable in England, Den- mark, Holland and parts of Germany. The Westerly members of the gen- oral ‘assembly, and others in closs touch with military matters, state and national, are considering the adbisa- bility of making avallable the $130,000 veted by the people for completing the armory for the mounted commands at thia time, when there is a movement in eongress toward abholishment of the national guard, The governor of Connecticut haa taken a position that It would be well to walt and sce what 1a to beeome of the state military or~ ganizatlon bofore sponding any more 82 the pubilc money than absolute im. modlate noceswity requires.

There was a disarrangement of schedule for a few hours, Wednesday morning, of east bound trains, due to an accident on the De Luxe Sleepins car train which usually arrives in Westerly at 4.09 a. m. Just after passing the Palmer stréet crossing a pair of trucks of one of the cars left the rail, and the train was stopped before any damage of consequence re- sulted. The Adams Express train fol- lewing was delayed for an hour at Stonington, pending the clearance of the wreck, then proceeded on the west bound track to Westerly, and then crossed over on the east bound. The accommodation train due in Westerly froni New London at 6.58, was held up at Stonington, and was on a siding there when the train due in Westerly at 7.50 arrived. 'This train was sent ahead over the west bound track as far_as Westerly, and from there on to Providence did the work of the 6.58 train, the latter train fol- lowing twenty minutes later. After that the schedule was adhered ’: with- out interruption.
