Gas Coneaxe.—rutil last week this COLT pany has
been under the necessity, for want of facilities of
their own, of employing a local haulier to convey
their coal from the railway station to the gas works,
which was, of course, a source of much inconvenience,
and formed • not inconsiderable item of expenditure
on the year's balance.sheet. A short time back, how-
ever, the directors decided to connect the railway and
their works by a siding, and this, which includes an
iron girder bridge serum the river (by Messrs. Cockey
and Son, of Frome) and two turn-tables At the angle.,
was finished last week, And on Saturday the first
truck was successfully run into the works. It is
estimated that the supply of this long-felt want will
in the course of a few years refund the expenditure
entailed, which was necessarily rather heavy,

dition is .o serimw, from injuries to the spine, that she
cannot be opiestioned, besides which her reticule
enataiaing the ticket was belt in the general ruin.
Since the almve was written it has been ascertained
that the retkule belongiog to Miss Noke has been
moeetssi and found to ntain an insurance ticket,
s'vuthug'.!--pa per week in caste of accident, which the
young lady hal purchmed for one penny of an agent
of the Railway Paseengene Assurance Company at
Skerberne, prior to starting for Bath. The hater
sent down a npresentative of the office, Mr. S.
Marks., to gather particulani, and as all that the
compote respiire is mot of the purchase of the
ticket, no doubt Miss Noke's friends will not have
notch dilficslty in establishing her claim. Other
ininred persons belonhing to the neighbourhood were
ales luckily, ticket-holders, and have been visited by
Mr. Market.
