At the morning service the attendance was the largest since the retirement of Rev. Dr. Hart. "Work" was the theme of the morning dis course, which secured the undivided atten- tion of the auditors throughout.

 For some seven or eight years the question of building bridge over the Shore Line railroad on the East side so that East Grand avenue and Center street can be carried over tho the railroad has been in the courts. >Thsse crossings are quite dangerous, being on curve where approaching trains can be seen only few feet ahead, and while there has never been 6 fatal accident, there have been some very narrow escapes. The Supe- xior court having granted an order for the bridge, the question to be determined is the time for the building of the same. It Is ex- pected that the time will be fixed at the present term of the Superior court, unless the town should appeal to the Supreme court. In case there is no appeal 1t is likely that the bridge will be built in 1890. The bridge will cost from 12,000 to $14, 4,e00, and the town and the Consolidated road would share equally in building the superstructure, but for the extensive approaches required it is probable that the town would have to pay. The Consolidated road would contract for the bridge, as 1t is believed that the construc- ton work could be better performed by the company, which contracts for so many bridges. If the railroad is carried back . few feet up the hill, and the track is depress- cd, as proposed, the grade over the bridge would be very much lessened and the damage to abatting property would not be as great. During the administration of the late George H. Watrous, sx-president of the Consolidated road, he urged that the bridge should be built. maintaining that 1t would be only . question of time when there would be bad accident at these crossings. It is claimed that 6 now bridge would result in develop ment of properties on the east side, particu- larly on East Grand avenue and . Fair Haven heights. : William Fore was convicted of the murder |
