British flags were displayed at half-mast, and
in the evening the hall of the Mechanic Insti-

we learn that the parties in interest have
agreed upon the necessity of one great inn
provement, and that is that State Street should
be continued across and below Canal Street
to connect with Cape Elizabeth Bridge, be-

SO as to prevent the danger of the continual
crossing of the railroad to the bridge, as
now, by the making up and running of trains.
The Depot itself will probably be placed on
the southeastern side of Canal Street. which
