THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

Now that there are no buildings near
the north end of the Main street bridge
there is a chance, which may never come
again, of raising the grade of that whole
territory. 1t should go up four or five
feet at least, and whatever more is neces-
sary, thus doin, away with much of the
grade below the Beckwth block and
with the stairs and sidehill Oh Merchants
Row. No harm can come from the
change, and great improvement in the
looks of the village and increased value
to the property in the section would re-
suit. Perhaps Main street should be
widened, too.
Before the reconstruction of the bridge
is begun or contract made for it a COM
petent engineer should be employed to
fix the grades and the level of the bridge.
Then when the selectmen contract for
the bridge they will know what they
want and those owning the land and in
tending to rebuild will have something
to figure on. This revision of the grade
cannot be effected too soon.

SYMPATHY FROM BOSTON.
Fro II the Boston Journal

The citizens of Middlebury will receive
the sympathy not only of the other Yer
mont towns but of all New England for
the misfortune they have suffered in the
recent fire. Middlebury is one of the
most thriving of the Green Mountain
towns, and with its educational institu-
tions and picturesque surroundings, one
of the most charming. The losses were
so distributed however, that the business
of the place will not be permanently af-
fected. though the insurance protection
seems in most cases to have been very
small, below even the point which com
mon precaution would seem to haye sug-
0ested.

About 20 men doing business of one

SUSPENSION BRIDGE, y. Y, Sept. g.
The usually quiet village of Clifton, Ont,
was treated to a novel battle between the
town authorities and the Michigan Gen.
trail railroad on Monday. There has been
ill-feeling between the town and the rail
road and the latter refused the town the
privilege of laying water main under its
tr acks. The town put a force of laborers
at work excavatipg and the railroad put
another gang at work dumping graz el
into the excavation. FINALLY the town
authorities ordered out the fire compa-
mics. The waterworks pump was started
and the MOBILES of a number of lines of
hose were turned on the railroad men.
Things were lively for time, but the
railroad gang was finally vanquished.

Eugene Cronin IA year old, son of
Thi,lip Crouin OF $500 Fifta avenue was
run over by electric motor car Al in
front of the Moline avenue car barns. at
1890 this morning. The boy, who lives

was playing about the track as was his
wont and engaged at lis particular tine
in playing with dog directly between

Al had last came down from Moline in

Conductor E l. Roche. 1t happened at
the time of the day when one detail of
motermen change on reschiug the barn.
Moterman William Smith was relieved by
Motermsn A. Smith. The latter had
just switched in the current and
started when the accident occurred.
The car struck the boy and threw him
upon the rail, the front wheel
passing over one foot. and the back
wheel the othes. The boy WAS picked mp
by street car employees who rushed out of
the barns and carried into his home near
by and where Doctors Paul. OF this city.
and Hoefle, of Davenport, were sum-
moned.
1t was found upon examination that a

left foot, crushing all the bones, while

right foot in pretty much the same man.

dressed, and smputs;ion of both feet will
undoubtedly be the ultimate outcome,
though no operation was performed to-
day. The boy. it is expected, will sur

cripple.
Motorman Smith says he did not sec
the boy on The track until he was almost
on top of him, and that then he rang his
gong aud screamed The boy clsims the
gong did not ring at all. and that be did
not know the car was coming until it had

which it seems hard to learn, even BY dear
experience. Assistant Supt. Hill states
that the boy was in the habit of
playing about the barn, and that he had
repeatedly been warned to be careful
about getting in the way of the cars.
Mr. Hill also says that beys are constant
