A devout member of Christ Episcopal church, Miss Hazel was oné who especially appreeiated the Sunday church Christmas Eve, and Mrs. Payne wrote the next day of the good time they had unpacking the things, the let- ter being received in Norwich Town January first.

Miss Lucy Standish returned .Sat- urday to the ~Scotland Bal e o d © ents on McClellan avenue, John Black- | Mass., road, after Supreme Court Denies Claim of Albert B. Crafts for $50,000 Prisoners Go Through Town—Saturday Night Fire in Barn—John Wilcox Adjudged Guilty of Larceny. [ The supreme court of the stat Rhode Island has given against Attorney Albert B. Crafts in his_suit against the Mechanics’ bank| of Westerly to recover a claim of $50,- 000 alleged to have béen due him for The bank has been in course of liqui- dation for nearly 17 vears and just at the present time is paying a 10 per cent. dividend to depositors, making a total paid of 85 per cent, of deposits. It is planned to pay the full amount of deposits, with interest, before the af- fairs of the bank are finally closed. The decision in the Crafts case will materially aid to that end, as 5 per cent. of the assets have been tied up pending a decision. . This particular case was tried before a jury in the superior court at Provi- dence and occupied the court for sev- eral weeks, and resulted in a verdict in favor of the bank. The judge sub- sequently granted Mr. Crafts’ motion for a neéw. trial, and the case went to the supreme court on exceptions of the defendant. The supreme court in its rescript says that the principal question sub- mitted to the jury was whether the plaintiff had received adequate com- pensation for all services rendered by him, or to state it another way, what was the fair value of the services ren- dered. The defendant admitted that the plaintiff had rendered valuable service but claimed that he had been paid for the same and, in fact, overpaid in ac- ons ‘of this character, to which there is no definite measure of damages, the rule is well settled that the inadequacy of the recovery must be apparent to justify the allowance of a new trial, and the opinion of the chief justice on this question, although it merits care- ful consideration, is not.conclusive. The defendant’s exception is-sustain- ed and the case remitted to the supe- rior court for the entry of judgment on the verdict. Senator Troy of Providence, a for- naer. reporter on a New London news- paper, has introduced an act into the Rhode Island genate proposing the in- spection of boilers and the licensing of engineers and firemen of stationary equipment. The act provides for a i chief engineer at a salary of $2500. with an assistant at $1,500 a year, and 51500 a year for expenses. The chicf to be appointed by the governor, with the approval of the semate, and the chief to appoint the assistant. The act would also create a beard of ap- peal of three members, to receive $15 | per. diem each for actual service, and to be kuown as a board of license ap- peals. - An appropriation of $7300 is asked for the expense of the depart- ment. Should the bill becoms law. all en- | gineers would pay a fee of $2 and firemen $1 annually, after passing the required examination. The renewal fee would be $1 for ensineers and 50 cents for firemen. Men operating engines ot boilers for railroads and those un- der the jurisdiction of the federal goy- ernment are exempt. Suits have been filed in the superfor court against. Edward J. Quinn to re- cover damages laid at $10,000 and $5,- 000, respectively, by Laura T. Eldred and Frank A. Eldred. The plaintiffs . ailege that the¥ were passengers in an automobile near Devil's Foot, in North Kingston, Aug. 11 1917. when the car . in which they were riding was struck ! by Mr. Quinn's car and overturned. Laura T. Eldred sues for damages on account of ‘a*deep wound in Her right | leg and other injuries.. Frank sues for a sprained ankle and other -in- Juries. Senator Casey of Richmond has in: troduced a bill in ‘the state scpate which authorizes the governor'to ap* point a commission of five members to inquire into the:finances of all depart: ments ‘and. to suggest the consolidation of all boards and 'commissions with other departments to.indrease efficien- ¢y and curtail expense.
