The hearing on the petition OF the Paw
tucket Street Railway Company for per-
mission TO lay double track on Broad
street, from jerks Park, northerly to the
Valley bridge, will bo held at the Town
House, Monday afternoon at o'clock. II
Will be remembered that the Council
granted this same petition at a meeting
held for the purpose OF canvassing the
voting lists, but the matter raised such a
storm OF indignation from the taxpayers
end abutters, who were not given an op-
portunity to be heard, that the vote was
rescinded at later meeting. There prom
ises TO be good deal OF interesting talk
ing done at the hearing and the gentle
men who are endeavoring to run the af.
fairs OF the town regardless OF the inter-
ests of the taxpayers will be effectually
called to account.
There are some strange features OF the
eagerness of the Council TO act in this i'm
portant matter.
Hon. Jonathan Chace promises
to be on hand to show that the ac.
tion OF the Council was an arbitrary use
OF power. There are some taxpayers who
are in favor OF granting the privileges
asked for by the railroad company. They
are OF the opinion that rapid transit and
better service would more than compen-
safe for the Inconvenience that would be
occasioned by double tracks. The petit
tion which endorsed the councils action
was signed by eighty-fi five taxpayers, In.
cluding +. Il. Laliberte, M. Roberge,
Pierre GendroD, DIR. Napoleon Malo,
Mons. Schiller and Others. The railway
company officials say that II will be i'm
possible to give the residents OF the valley
villages better service unless the privi-
leges asked for are granted. Senator AL
drich, president Of the Pawtucket com
pany, Will be present and endeayor to
show that the council will make no mis-
take by granting the franchise.
As bid for the franc hise the railway
company agrees to pave the street and
save the town several thousand dollars.
III the petition is granted work on the new
electric line will begin within three weeks.

They Made Up.
There was a little sensation In the Dis
trict Court this morning when the case OF
Charles Narcotic OF this village against
Charles M uir OF North Providence for en-
t'cing and harboring his eig hteen year old
daughter, Rosa Narcotic, was down for
trial. IL appears that Rosa, who is pretty
girl, has been acquainted with Narcotic
for several years and frequently visited
him. She refused to return to her home a
few weeks ago and Mr.. Narcotic brought
suit.
Rose and her father evidently made up
before the trial as when the time arrived
both were missing. They were seen to
leave the court room together and went
directly to their home.
Both we're summoned again, but after
considerable talk matters were satisfac-
torily adjusted and the case was discon-
tnued upon payment OF costs.
