An Interesting Comparison.
Overseer Of the Poor Peekham picked
up an old time table of local trains be-
tween PROVIDENCE, Valley Falls and
Lonsdale on the street this morning, bear
ing the date of juno z. 1869. The railroad
accommodations in this vicinity at that
date, % years ago, compared to those at
present, Is interesting to note. In those
days, according to this time table, there
were but fourteen trains daily between
PROVIDENCE and Valley Falls, and only
two OF these ran out to Lonsdale. To-
day there are thirty-six trains running
from PROVIDENCE Co Lonsdals and stop
ping at all way stations. The through
trains to Worcester, IL there were any stop
ping at Valley Falls and Lonsdale, are not
Included in the fourteen trains above
mentioned, but as only three of the thirty
six now running to Lonsdale are through
trains, it is presumed that the number
would not be much greater IL the through
trains were included in this old time
table.
There is no such station as Woodlawn
mentioned.
The District Court.
In the District Court this IN orning
Thomas Clackny was fined $40 and costs
case brings TO mind a row which took
place between these two persons In
house where the woman was living. on
Broadway, just above Exchange street,
which house the presence Of the aforesaid
woman did not add to in point OF reputa-
tion. Subsequent to the row spoken OF,
for which. by the way, they were arrest
cd and fined, the woman went to New
York. The man soon afterwards followed
her there and married her. The couple
then returned to pawtucket, and have
been living at the Adams House.
Bernard Burns was also fined $40 and
costs for an assault OH his wife Della.
She claims that he was drunk and she
succeeded in getting him home against
his inclinations, when he rewarded her by
giving her n thorough pounding.
James Moriarity was sent to the State
Farm for six months as n vacranG.
Arthur Handy was fined s5 and costs for
reveling, aud three persons were fined 81
and costs for drunkenness.
