The citizens residing on Poplar street
are trying to have that very useful and most
frequented of our highways repaved, and for
that purpose have began taking up subscrip
tons. Among those who have subscribed
we ma the names oil n. NJ. Jones Tor @0OU
and w. W. Scheduled for 5000 at the head
of the list. There is some difference of opin-
ion as to whether to pave with stone or repair
the Nicolson pavement, the latter being
urged because the railroad company would
in that case be compelled to pave eighteen
feet, covering both tracks and two feet on
either side. But We think it would be
cheaper for the street railroad company TO
subscribe SIS 900 or S20,0O0 and have a good,
seryiceable stone pavement put down. 1t
will in the long run not only prove more
serviccable but very much cheaper.

pastor of the Second Congregational church,
Orleans street, were on their way to German
town in frst-class passenger car. The con-
ductor ordered them into the smoking
car. lines refused to go, as he had
frst-class tickets. After the conductor left
a passenger under the influence OF liquor
assaulted Jones, taking him by the collar,
tearing his clothing, etc. The cnducter re-
fused to protect him. At Naace street the
train stopped. lines and his wife left the
car, as the man threatened to kill him, and
he and his wife walked back to the depot.
He then reported to the superintendent, who,
in consideration of lines signing release
of all claims on the road, made up a special
train and sent him and his wife to German
town.
