ROADS IN WICoJrICo.


ffoNisious OF a Bill Looking to New SYs-
tenn of Maintenance and Construction.
SALISBURY, Nh, March 7.-Senator
Ioadvine has drafted the new road law for
Wieomico county. In it the Senator has
adhered to the present manner of opening,
altering, widening and closing roads, but
has aimed to condense and cheaper the
work and simplify the proceedings.
The bill provides for three road commits
sioners in every district, to have control of
roads in their respective districts and be
empowered 10 employ supervisors or to
contract for work. They are to certify to
the county commissioners. The road tax
is not to exceed 20 cents on the 800 for
the district. These road commissioners are
to have charge of all bridges not costing
more than 800. The opening and closing
OF roads, the ferries and large bridges are
still to be under the control OF the county
commissioners, and their building and re-
pair are paid ont of the general levy.
All persons not paying taxes are by the
bill required to work on the roads. furnish
n substitute or pay 81 day. Such persons
are not compelled to work more than two
days in eRch year, as now provided by
law. The only important shange is the
managing of the roads by each district
and allowing the road commissioners to
hire or contract when they deem 1t neces-
sary or beneficial.
The reasons given for making the
changes In the road law are: First. that
by putting the roads under district control
the people therein can have more ready
access to and consultation with the road
commissioners and save expense of going
to see the county commissioners when a
road needs extra work; second, that it will
create rivalry between districts and cause
more interest to be taken in their improve
ment; third, that the money collected in
a district is spent in that district and the
residents will know what and how it has
been spent. and the road commissioners
are required TO furnish statements to the
county treasurer, on oath, before any
money is paid them.
Another advantage is that taxpayers do
not have to work on the roads and pay
taxes also. The plan proposed has been
successfully tried.

the ministeries of justice and of war.
The detonations were almost exactly
simultaneous. The buildings in each
neighborhood were shaken as if by an
earthquake. Hundreds of windows
were broken and the street lights were
extinguished. The bombs were sent, it
is believed, by an anarchist who
wished to emphasize thus their disap-

soon roaring mass of flames. Conduc-
tor Gavin succeeded in uncoupling the
sleeper, which had not left the track,
and with assistance moved them out of
danger. With the exception of some
mail and baggage everything else was
destroyed The terrible accident, ac-
cording to appearances, must be attrib-
uted to design.
There were about so passengers on
the train, but had the wreck occurred
a short distance south of the city, the
Ashland sleeper would have been at
tached to the train and the list of dead
and injured would, no doubt have been
much larger.
The passengers and express matter
were given to local trains here and the
wrecked train abandoned. A private
car occupied by Receiver Howard Nor
ris of the road, was attached to the
train, but did not get into the burned
heap, and so Mr.. Morris escaped unin-
iured. That car and one sleeper were
alone saved from destruction by the
flames.
Examination discloses the fact that
nut had been removed from the switch,
causing it to get loose and throw the
train from the track.
