THROUGH WATER STREET.
Electric Railway and Paving as Dis
cussed by Augustus Aldermen.

Before the mayor aldcrm en- last even
ing, Mr. Starkey, repre' iting the Sprague
Motor Co. of Boston, s'a'ed that he had
examined the location recommended by the
company and found it the best possible for
the public interest. He ciied as case sim
liar to that of Augusta the railway in An
sonia, Conn, a city of some 10000 inhabi-
tants, in which the road runs in the centre
other streets, most Of which are quite mar
row. After some discussion the following
order was passed;
Ordered, That the Augusta, Hallowell and
Gardiner Railroad company be authorized
to locate its railroad upon and through
Water and Bond streets, upon State street
from Mount Vernon avenue to the iialowell
line, upon Mount Vernon avenue, substan-
TALLY as applied for, and upon Grove street
from its junction with Water street, to State
Street. The particular location of the track
upon said streets to be hereafter deter mined
by the municipal officers in accordance with
plans to be furnished at the expense of said
company under the direction of the munich
pal officers. This grant is made upon the
condition that said company in removing ice
and snow from its road, shall so remove the
same as to render the entire width of the
street safe and convenient for public travel
Provided. however, that said company shall
not be allowed to lay any portion of its
track until the particular location upon said
streets shall be definitely fixed by the mu-
nicipal officers.
As in a contract the exact situation Of the
road must be stated. No arrangements fol
its construction can be made till the location
is finally settled.
The matter of paving Water street wal
then informally considered Three bids fol
supplying the blocks are now under consid
Grafton and it appears probable that bott
ends of the street will be paved. 1t is likely
that the matter will come before the cit,
council at its next meeting.

DEMURRERs SUSTAINED
In the Case OF the Trustees OF Phillips
Academy vs. the Attorney General.

SALEM, Mass. April l6.
Justice Field sent down his hndiug sus
tanning the demurrers, Johus n Marshall
visitors of the theological Institution, and
Julius IL Seelye, in the case of the Trustee.
Of Phillips Academy VS.. Attorney General.
His reasons Do not see why every ma
terisl question raised by this bill could not
have been tried in the case now pending on
appeal by Prof. Smyth from the decision of
the visitors If the parties therein desired il.
IL the plaintiffs corporation was entitled 10
be made party 10 these proceedings il
should have intervened in them. II they
attempted TO do 'his and the right was re
fused by the visit Rs, a remedy is by appli-
cation to the full court in the matter of ap-
peal, If the plsinuh. are not entitled to be
be made party TO these proceedings, and
desire to test on any ground the validity of
the final decision which the court may make
in appeal, they should await the result of
appeal. If not satisfied with the final de-
clslon, they can take such action as they see
fit to try the effect of the deci sion
upon its rights and duties The decision
of appeal if rendered upon its merits will de-
termine the question whether Prof Smyth is
or is not a professor in the theological insti-
tuition. Unless the plaintiff desires and un-
de rtakes collaterally 10 impeach the decs on
now, itisa speculative question AS to whether
the plaintiff will desire or has the right to i'm
peach it, The prayer of the bill is that the
court rule. instruct and inform the plaintiff
what authority and Jurisdiction, if any the
visitors have over the defendants Smyth,
Churchill, Tucker. Harris, aud Hincks, or
either OF them, and whether the proceedings
of the visitors set forth in the bill are not
void. DO not think that the bill for
instruction ought to be mai1tiintd by
the trustees for the purpose OF satisfying
doubts in regard TO the validity of the pro
visions creating board visitors. When the
provisions have been acquiesced ia for so
long time and the property been received
and now held which is made snbject to the
supervision of this board does not appear.
Doubts of the trustees in regard to the legal
existence of the board aud shared by any
one else interested in trusts The trustees
can, if they think best. take the responsible
ity of acting upon that conviction. If they
they think the statute of Jan IL, 1924 un
constitutional, other persons interested can
then call them to account The motion of
visitors for an allowance for counsel fees
out of the funds in the han1s of the trustees
is retained for further consideration.

THAT MISSING CREW.
1 Former Captain Of The Lost Steamer
Danmafk
IL Much Concerned for their Safety.

PHMApELPHIA, April 10.
Capt. Smith Of the British steamer La.
faDdre. which arrived this afternoon from
Antwerp was commander of the Danmark
before the change of ownership. He WAS
very much concerned when he learned of
the disaster said to have overtaken the yes
sell
Capt. Smith when questioned said that the
DaDmark was remarkably strong vessel.
She was built with water tigh, compartments.
had water tanks from the bridge aft, and
was extra braced with iron about her upper
works.
Capt Smith said he had crossed very close
to where the wreck was sighted. If boats
were picked up" he continued, "by a sail
ing vessel, her proper course would be TO
stand for the Irish Channel. No sailing
vessel would continue a voyage with such
4 crowd on board unless the port bound TO
was most easily reached. 1t would take
longer for vessel to make the Azores than
fetch the Irish coast from where the
Danmark was seen, because the wind would
be asostsy ahead. The distance TO Fastnet
light vas about LOO miles. With the
winds we have had a sailing vessel ought to
make it in about eight days"
