mained In the veterans. First the ma
chine was taken to the corner of Mill and
Cross streets and the vets manned the
brakes. There were q number Of Paw
tucket friends present who claimed that
this was the best work ever done by the
machine and admitted that they we're sur
prised. While some present claim more,
the men are satisfied to have the number
of 210 feet recorded. There was much re-
joicing when the measurement was an

fident than ever that they will bring home
the first prize. At the close of the trial

Death on the Rail.
The Old Colony train No. 136, due at the

o'clock yesterday afternoon, struck and
killed Robert w. Twohig Of Fall River
and cut him In pieces. He was walking on
the bridge when the train was approach
ing the structure at the usual speed before
stacking up to make the curve. Twohig,
who was alone, appeared bewildered AZ
the train neared him, and instead Of
stepping to either side where
there is sufficient room stepped
Examiner Kelliher viewed the remains
and ordered Crane a. Burns to prepare
them for burial. Twohig was weaver
and belonged at Fall River, where he had
relatives who were notified through the
Fall River police.
An unsuccessful search was made today
for portion of the right leg and also of
the left arm. The police and undertakers

bridge into the river below. Up to 1
o'clock today nothing had been heard
from the police or relatives OF Fall River,
and the body was entombed at Moshas-
suck cemetery.
