Special Meeting Of Town
Council This Afternoon.
FIR. MAH0NEY BIDS ADIEU.
Painful Accident to q Fourteen-Ye
Old Girl-All the News.

That which Is interesting tho taxpayers
just at present Is the special town meeting
to be held Thursday afternoon at O'Clock.
The prospect for lively session Is partic-
ularly roseate in view OF the clause
which calls for an appropriation for mis-
cellaneous purposes. Some very pointed
questions will re asked when this matter
comes up for consideration, the policy OF
Republican rule of making small appro-
priations at the regular appropriation
meeting, being more for political effect,
apparently, than anything else. The
appropriation for the support of the poor
has been overdrawn for sometime. In
stead OF making the entire appropr lation
for the support OF the poor, an effort
will be made to set aside part for high
way work and in this way the town could
secure some return for amsgiving. Many
OF the applicants for aid are able. bodied
men and would prefer to receive assistance
In this manner than to be clsssed as pau
pers.
