An application will be made soon for a
 charter for horse railroad to Bridge
 port over the Air Line road, from the up
 town green. The East End road will ex- tend their track to the green as soon as the Consolidated road make the proposed changes in Main street crossing. The question arises whether it will be we'll for the townspeople to permit the build- ing of another road, or content them selves with the accommodations offered by the present. The Air Line road has just been macadamized at great expense and it would seem as if the experience just gone through with, on the town road, would be an object lesson which our townspeople might profit by. When MT Lewis gets his road extended to the up town green, it looks as if the greater number of people would be better accom- modated by his road than by one over the Air Line. The present road lands it's passengers in the center of the city, con- venient to depot and steamboat landing and by the most direct route. A new road over the Air Line gets into the center of the town by by quite roundabout way. MT Lewis has shown, so far a disposition to do everything to accommodate the public and one line, we'll conducted and equipped, with patronage sufficient to keep it so, will certainly be better for the interests of the town than to divide the patronage between two, especially when the patronage is not more than enough to reasonably we'll pay one. If it is for our best interests to have two lines, then the proposed application should meet with no opposition. If, on the other hand, one line will meet all our requirements, then let us oppose the granting of charter for new one. At tention is called to the matter for the purpose of having the people investigate and be prepared to decide what is best when the question comes up.
 Truman Bradley returned to his home, Tuesday night, after his days work and found his wife lying dead upon the floor. She had made preparations to wash and the tubs were found partially filled with water. The fire had gone out in the stove and the water in the tubs was skinned over with ice, so that the death of the unfortunate woman, which was undoubtedly caused by heart disease, must have occurred early in the fore noon. Mrs Bradley was supposed to be the last of the Golden Hill tribe of Indi- ans. She had for many years been member of the M. E. church and was re- spected by all who knew her. The sym pathies of the townspeople with the af- fiicted family. She was about 66 years of age. Funeral services were held, Thursday, in the M. E. church, with in terment at Nichols.
 William Reilly, resident of Shanley's Lane, slipped while attempting to board a horse car near Seaview avenue, Tuesday night, about 10 o'clock and the wheels of the car ran over one of his legs above the ankle. He was taken to the hospital and there are some hopes that amputation will not be necessary.
 People have been crossing the Housa- tonic sriver on the ice at Washington Bridge.
 The lecture on Hayti by a native Hay tian lady in the Baptist church, Wednes- day evening, called together small au- dience. It was a fine lecture, we'll deliv- cred and should have had full house. If it had been better advertised, so that our people could have known the treat in store, no doubt the house would have been filled.
