Obliging Railroad Man.
The conductors on the electric cars run
ming to Olneyville are an obliging set OF
men and do many kind act outside OF
their regular duties. The other day,
while on a Broadway car, NEWS re-
porter saw q tiny tot put aboard the car
with 'papa's dinner pail" and to make
matters sure tag with the
address was tied to her neck. The
conductor took her in charge and put her
off safely at the store, keeping an eye on
her until she got in the door. But for his
care it would have been very risky send
|. ing such q mite down town alone.
John Lyons OF Scituate was before the
court today for drunkenness, and contrib
uted SO and costs for his fun.
Byron A. Smith, the druggist, has opened
the box OF gold at his store and given the

vicinity.
