The Pretty Little Dancer Fatally Burned In
Her Room.
Providence, R. L, June lat an early hour
this morning Polly Macdonald, dancing girl
and soubrette of Lester and Williams Com
pany, under engagement at the Westminster
Street Theater, was fatally burned in her
room at the City Hotel. She retired early,
but awoke in the night and left her
bed to obtain something she wanted. She
lighted match and threw it from her, as she
supposed, but it fell on her night dress and
ignited it. She was unable to extinguish the
flames, but her cries brought the night clerk,
who stihed them, but not until she had received
fatal injuries. She died about $50 O'Clock this
morning.
Miss Macdonald was only twenty-five years Of
age, but had been on the stage since she was
three years ole and had been leader in her
roles.

the Members Were Absent.
LONDON, June LIT was announced yester-
day that the house Of commons had decided to
sit as usual today Notwithstanding the fact that
it had been customary to adjourn over derby
day. When the house met today only thirteen
members we're present. OF course no business
could be done and the speaker, therefore, ad-
journed the sitting until l o'clock.
When that hour arrived nineteen members
made their appearance. The speaker thereupon
decided to adjourn the sitting indefinitely
Though a majority Of the house voted yester-
day to meet today as usual, the greater part of
them could not stand the idea of perform
ing legislative work when the greatest of
all horse races was being run. So they had
quietly proceeded to EPSON Downs, where they
were among the most interested Of the thou
sands who saw Sir Hugo land the prize. 1t is
not at all likely that there will be any sitting Of
the house TODAY

TRACKS TO BE ELEVATED.
Those of the Reading in the City Limits "a
Be Placed Overhead.

Those of the Reading in the City Limits to
Be Placed Overhead.
When the ordinance under which the Read
ing railroad is now constructing its elevated
tracks in Philadelphia, and which limits the
overhead structure on the north to Wallace
street and too between Broad and 18th streets on
the west, was submitted to Mayor Stuart, he
urged the elevation of all the tracks along Will
low street.
Mr.. Kindred, who represented President
Mcleod in the matter, stated that the company
was DESTROYS of conditionally making any
change that might be considered of benefi,
to the city. The subject of elevating the
tracks then took a wider range, and the tacit
conclusion was finally reached that if the
city would pay whatever proper damages that
might ensue from the improvement the
railroad company would put its entire local
system overhead. As a result Of this under
standing Councilman Miles has presented ordi-
naaces covering the proposed additions to the
original plans, and these are now in the hands
of the law committee.
In an interview on the subject yesterday Mr..
Kindred said to a Times reporter, among other
things: 1.-the changes mean that all Of Reading q
tracks in Philadelphia are to go over head.
From 18th and Market northward there won't
be grade crossing this side OF Tabor. All
the way there will be one unbroken stretch
of elevated road. An elevated road also
will carry our trains out Pennsylvania avenue
to the park and similar improve
ment will be made on Willow street from the
Delaware river west It will cost the company
more money than had been originally calculated
upon, but the gain to both the road and the city
justifes the outlay. Besides the increase will
not be so great as one might on first thought
imagine. For example, the cost Of elevat-
ing the tracks all along Willow
street will rot be very much
more than the outlay for simply constructing.
the proposed hump at Broad street. With q
steep incline on either side of Broad street
we would have to limit our freight trains to
eight or nine loaded cars On level tracks
the number would virtually be unlimited
The placing of our tracks overhead out
Pennsylvania avenue will lower the bed of
18th and 18th streets, which Engineer Smedley
says can readily be done, and which the city
will pay for. Other similar changes of grade
may have to be made in order to adjust the sur
face of the cross streets to the new conditions
$50 far as the city's expense is concerned it
need not be great. Property damages ought
not to amount to much, siuce the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company owns great
deal of the property along 9th street. From
the present appearance of things il looks as
though the entire Reading system in Phiiadel-
phia would shortly be elevated. It is q grand
idea, {" he added, "and we are doing all in our
power to advance il.

years old, which was the age at which Jimmy
would have received it. In court Executor Dey
