There Is a Chance for Both Boys and
Men To Be More CarefuI--Serious
Accident Narrowly Averted on
Portland Street Yesterday
Afternoon

A very serious accident was narrowly
averted on Portland street yesterday af-
ternoon. All those streets which run
across the portion of Portland street
occupied by the electric road are forbid
den to the boys for sliding purposes.
Yet, in spite ofthe fact that the boy who
slides there is in danger both of arrest by
the police and death by the cars, there
are many reckless urchins who slide on
Alder and neighboring streets. Yester-
day afternoon, one of these narrowly es-
capped tragic death. He was coming
down the Alder street hill at full speed
Just as an electric car was coming along
Portland street. The boy could not stop,
and when the driver saw him seemed
about to dash under the wheels. The
cars run slow in this locality by Mr., New
mans order, for the special purpose OF
preventing accidents, and this, together
with the prompt reversal and brakeing
of the car, stopped it just about foot
and half from tile boy.
In another part OF tie city, Wnefe SID
ing is permitted by the authorities, the
boys have a grievance. State and Mel
len streets cross Portland street in that
part where the trotting goes on. In the
daytime the boys do not complain of the
trotting, but they think that the horse
men ought to give them the evenings.
As it is, there are few horsemen who
speed along in the evening, making it
very dangerous for the boys sliding on
State and Mellen streets.

The New Police Caps.

At the meeting of the police board
yesterday the new police cap was formal
ly adopted. Heretofore in winter the
police have been allowed to wear the
Scotch caps. But while warm and COM
Portable this cap tends TO give the force
slouchy appearance. ESQ the authori-
ties have adopted taller, sitter cap of
blue pilot cloth, that has more militia
ry appearance. It has not yet been de-
cided whether badge will be worn on
this cap or not. The police have already
obtained the caps and are wearing them.

Reduction in the Price of Gas

As elsewhere noted the reduction in the
price of gas by the Westminster Gas Light
Company is a matter of more than usual in
terest to most of our citizens. The company
has furnished continuous light, of surpass-
ing quality, for more than twenty three years,
the gas being first turned on on Thanksgiving
night, 1870. Although burdened with debt
and struggling against excessive freight rates
on its coal, the company has at all times given
the best service, for long time paying NO
dividends, and now, although only paying
three per centum to its shareholders, seeks
still further to cater to the public by reducing
the price of gas 334 per cent: This, we think,
places it within the reach of any one wanting
good light and security from danger, and at a
cost not exceeding coal oil for the same
amount of light. Everyone living on the
line of the mains should have their houses
piped and use the gas both for light and fuel;
don't wait for house cleaning time, but put it
in now Show the company that you appre-
ciate their efforts in giving You good gas
and at reasonable prices.
