CENTRAL FALLS.
Business Men and street RaIIways.-Deafh
of James Tiernan.

NeAl ihursuay evening meeting OF tn8
Business Mems Association will be held
in their rooms in the Fales Block on High
street. II will be OF more Importance
than usual as the street railway question
il growing warmer as the time for tho
Council meeting draws near. The busi-
| ness men are strongly in favor OF the High
street route and have done everything
pos BILE to influence the Council and tho
Interstate Company to change from tho
| Broad street to that street. At the last
Council meeting there were four petitions
presented, two demonstrating, signed by
! friends OF the Pawtucket Street Railway
! Company, and two asking that a change
be made to allow the road TO be laid on
High street. One OF those, the largest,
was gotten up by the Business Men and
was signed by large number Of inhucn-
tial citizens.
II In their idea that in getting the road
to run down High street, it would open
up new section OF the town and bring
| railway through the business center OF
thetown. Now, there are roads on Dexter,
Broad and North Main streets, but none
connecting the different sections.
! The Pawtucket Street Railway Company
; are OF course opposed to allowing the new
| company TO enter the town as il will very
likely take some OF its patronage as the
! Interstate claims that, with longer route,
wider gauge and experience in electric
railroading, it can give better accommo-
dstions.
Mr.. Barney of the out town company
1 nlya; Ia, Il no
fore the Council at the last meeting. He
| said:
"We are willing to come into this town
any way the Council directs, on Broad
street, or High street, or Oh both;
on third rail, two, three or four
rails, or on two tracks. We are
coming to serve the people and in order to
do 80 we must do as they desire. We be-
lieve that we can give Accommodations that
this little narrow gauge, narrow minded
company never can and what it has done
we have forced it into"
| Mr.. Littlefleld made very poor impress
on the Council and on the interested
| parties by his sharp remarks.
Go to the Clerks Once.
Democrats don't wait for the Town
Clerk to come to you before you register.
He Is not obliged to come and only does
| II out OF accommodation to both parties.
Go to the Clerks Office and don't wait for
the last few days and get crowded out.
Died This Morning.
This morning James Tiernan died at his
home SO Central street in his 6Sth year.
| 10 nld nd oil nf
this village and will be sadly missed by
his many friends. His funeral will take
place Thursday at O'Clock.
| lie Refused To 60.
Mr.. Crawford has often said that in
regard to registration he would act in n
non. partisan manner. His friends have
held him up as shining example for the
wicked Democrats.
Mr.. Crawford had acted in very fair
manner until the other day, when he re-
fused the request OF an officer of the
Major Mallette French Democratic Club
to go to the rooms in the IIuot building
and register. The Town Clerk may have
had reason for this. He may have
thought his Office was not very far from
their rooms and they could come there.
That is all very true, but Mr.. Crawford
went to the rooms OF the Republican
association on Central street and there
was no kick about it being too near. The
| Democrats are not "howling,' they want
all to register and do not fear the result.
At ManviIIe Tonight.
Town Clerk c. Fred Crawford will go
| % nytI tnn tUht NJ hn nf n
number OF citizens to register all the
| voters who wish to come. There will mons
be refused admittance because they are
Republicans, Democrats, Prohibitionists
or members OF any other party. The citi-
Gems who have charge OF the meeting are
not Of the same stamp as those who have
been palming themselves of as men on
| an unsuspecting public for sometime in
Lonsdale. Everyone who comes will be
registered, and Democrats of Manville, you
| live a long ways from the Clerks Office.
II is no easy matter always to come to
Central Falls and register. This Is the
last time the Town Clerk will be in that
section and all should be present and
place their names on the good book of the
| town and assist in electing President OF
| the United States next year II there
should be any who do not register to-
night go to the Clerks office no matter
how far il is. He Is not obliged to go out
of his Office and you must register in or
| der TO vote.
