was any present necessity for widening
the bridge. He thought the amount of
travel would surely be less because of
the electric railroad.
William T. Studley testified that he
had lived in South Portland for 20 years,
and kept two horses. He did not think
that the public safety required the wild
ening of the bridge at the present time.
He thought that the railroad would
diminish the team travel
Albion Little testified in response to
questions by Mr.. Hale that for many
years he had driven horses over the
bridge In his Judgment it was practi-
cal to have single track over the bridge
and still continue the present traffic
without widening the bridge Questioned
by Mr.. Libby he thought that the bridge
was about "a feet wider The danger
would depend upon the horse. He could
drive his horses alongside the car on the
bridge without any danger. He thought
there was more pleasure travel over the
bridge than anywhere else and that is
why he thought the railway ought to go
there. He thought there was less danger
on the bridge than in city street, be-
cause there was no curb stones or trees
alongside to run into.
Henry r. McCloud, superintendent of
the Portland & Cape Elizabeth railroad,
at the request Of. Mr. Hale, explained
that it was possible to lay single track
on a bridge without narrowing the bridge
for carriage travel, when there was no
car coming. With planks between the
rails there is no groove for the smallest
wheel to catch in. There is only the
beyeiing of the plank inside the rail,
forming little depression for the f1ange
of the wheel. Questioned by Mr.. Libby
on that portion of the bridge where
there is no plank, the rail is sunk in the
ground and the top of it comes just lev
ell with the grade of the street. He had
not found it necessary to have flat stones
laid outside the rail to prevent the wear
ing away of the dirt or gravel. Mr.. Libby
stated that in this city these stones have
been used extensively where the rail
was laid in streets that were not paved.
Commissioner Lord inquired as to Mr..
McLoud's experience with rails on
bridges He said that they were being
extensively used.
Questioned by Commissioner Allen, he
said it would be better.to spike the rails
to the present planking of the bridge and
fill it in with planks and on the outside
level the plank so as to make slope
down to the grade of the bridge.
Questioned by Mr.. Libby, he thought
that stone paving outside the rail was
no better than the earth.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

| travel did not require that the bridge
| should be widened at this time before
| the track is laid
ness. In response to questions by Mr..
Verrill he asked what was the width of
the bridge Commissioner Lord replied
that it was "a feet. Taking or 10 feet
for the track would leave "a or 26 feet
for carriages. Col. Dow thought that
this width was sufficient for travel 1t
was certainly wider than some of the
Portland streets. Or STONED by Mr..
Libby he thought that the effect of the
tracks would be to narrow the bridge, of
course. He hoped the tendency of the
travel over that bridge would be to in
crease. He had never seen enough travel
on the bridge to be more than what
would be amply accommodated by the
bridge when narrowed by the track
Mr.. J. Henry Rines, of Rines Brothers,
testified that he had been a resident of
Portland for 10 years and had lived in
Cape Elizabeth for several summers He
was familiar with the bridge. He thought
the public could get along for the time
being without the widening of the
bridge He did not think it was neces-
sary now.
Questioned by Mr.. Libby he thought
the best idea was to lay the track and
learn by experiment whether the widen
ing was necessary or not.
George G. Mountfort Of South Portland
testified in response to questions by Mr..
Perry that he resides near the end of the
bridge and is a grocer. He has been
selectman for five years. His teams
traverse the bridge from one to four
trips day. He did not think that pub
lie safety required the widening of the
bridge at this time.
Daniel E. Mccain testified that he
lives in Knightville and crosses the
bridge four times day. He wished to
say that if he thought the necessity of
widening the bridge would stop the
building of the track, he should say not
to widen it. Questioned by Mr.. Libby
he would not say that he preferred that
the bridge would be widened if the nee
essity of doing it did not stop the rail
road. He understood that it was to be
widened in five years, in any event He
certainly had thought that the widen
ing of the bridge would put the road
back for two or three years, and he I'M
derstood that Mr.. Libby and some others
were opposed to the widening of the
bridge. Laughter

SUICIDE IN A CEMETERY.
Frederick Husing Dies on the
Grave of His Wife's
Former Husband.
A TAILOR TIRED OF LIFE
Business Said to Be Mainly Respon-
sible for the Dependent
Mans Mad Deed.

Frederick Husing, a tailor at 81 Hayes
street, committed suicide in the Odd
Fellows Cemetery by shooting himself
twice yesterday morning. The shots were
heard by the superintendent of the ceme-
terry, and on investigating he found
Husing unconscious on top of the grave OF
his wife's former husband. Beside him
was revolver of the bulldog pattern with
two chambers empty.
The ambulance was summoned and the
unconscious man was taken to the Re-
celving Hospital. One bullet had entered
the left breast and lodged in the region OF
the heart, while the other had entered his
abdomen. Under the powerful stimulants
administered he regained consciousness
said he wanted to die. He died three
hours later and his body was taken to the
Morgue.
Husing had been in business at 317 Hayes
street for about fifteen years, ever since he
married his wife, who was then a young
widow. They had five children, the eldest
girl OF IA and the youngest boy of 8
years. The family lived above the shop.
Mrs. Husing said her husband had break
fast as usual yesterday morning, and be-
fore going down to the shop he kissed her
and the children. He had been despon-
dent of late owing to falling off in his
business, but yesterday morning seemed to
be happier than he had been for some time.
He went into the shop but only remained
few moments, saying he was going out to
collect some bills. He had apparently gone
direct to the cemetery.
81 can assign no other cause for the rash
act" said Mrs. Husing. except business
troubles. We have always lived happily
together and he was good husband and
father. About year ago the business
began to fall off, people did not pay their
debts and my husband was seriously
embarrassed for ready money"
DR.. II. R. Bell, the family physician,
who was in attendance at the hospital up
to the moment of Musings death, said he
had known him intimately for a number
of years. He had been drinking heavily
of late and the doctor was inclined to think
that excuses in that direction had as much
TO do with his suicide as business troubles.
The deceased was a member in good
standing of Abou Ben Adhem Lodge,
l. O. 0. +.

JUSTIFIED THEIR ACTION.
Jones & Knight Won the Damage
Suit Brought Against Them.

Jones q Knight Won the Damage
Suit Brought Against Them.
Mrs. Jane Breuner lost her suit for dam
ages yesterday against Jones & Knight,
proprietors of the Fairmount Hotel JUS
tice of the Peace Groezinger held that
they had perfect right to eject her from
the hotel because she did not pay her rent.
Mrs. Breuner claimed that the relation of
landlord and tenant existed between them.
but the court decided that as she rented a
furnished room there was contract and
the proprietors had perfect right to re-
cover possession of their room by locking
the door when she fell in arrears for rent.
Messrs. Jones & knight presented
number of ladies, who testified that they
had treated Mrs. Breuner with perfect
fairness. When the door was locked they
offered her another room to sleep in as
well as other considerations. They ex-
Guided her from her own room simply to
protect themselves on the lien they held
on her baggage. Had she been allowed to
enter the room there would have been all
sorts of trouble over the baggage held as
security for the rent.
On the showing made by Messrs. Jones
81 knight Justice of the Peace Groezinger
promptly gave judgment in their favor.

E. T. Mclean, the customs inspector Of
the Mail dock, who is accused of taking
articles from the baggage of Chinese while
searching them, has demanded an investi-
CATION and the case will be examined to-
day by Collector Wise.
Mclean states that the charges are
wholly untrue and that the shirt found in
bis possession was given to him by a
Chinaman on the dock, which he will
prove to-day. He says he is victim of a
combination to injure him, headed by
Captain Anderson of the Mail dock. The
accused inspector has been in the Federal

When Marie Burroughs came here last

DEMAND BETTER SERVICE,
Ashbury Heights People Are
Not Satisfied With Half
Hour Cars.
They Declare That the Railroad
People Are Evading the
Franchise.

An adjourned meeting Of property-hold-
ers of Ashbury Heights was held Wednes-
day evening at the residence of F. w. M.
Lang, 1877 Carl street, for the purpose of devils
ing methods for inducing the Market-street
Railway Company to re-establish fifteen
minute car service along Carl, Clayton,
Waller and Cole streets, according to the
terms of the franchise under which the
road was constructed. George W. Hans
borough presided.
R. T. Harding reported the result of an
interview with General Manager Vining,
in which he (Vining) had absolutely re-
fused to consider the proposition of run
ming cars every fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Harding also stated that in the Office
of the railway company he had come upon
a petition signed by many property-own-
ers asking for half-hour service. This, in
his opinion, had induced Mr.. Vining to
grant the prayer of the counter petition
and resume the running of cars every
thirty minutes.
One of the members present told how
this latter petition had been got up. A
man named W. II. Jones who had been
appointed on the committee had deserted
his colors and gone over to the enemy.
George T. Gaden presented resolutions
condemning the railway company, which
occasioned long discussion.
1t was finally decided to postpone the
adoption of the resolution until the next
meeting, and in the meantime to send
another committee to see II. E. Hunting
ton or Vice-PresIdent Croker.
The chairman appointed the following
to serve on this committee: r. t. Harding,
]. w. Westover, w. I. Growel, T. J. Coster
and A. j. Fritz.
On motion it was decided to go into tenn
porary organization under the name of
the Ashbury Heights and Stanyan-street
Improvement Club, and the following
committee on constitution and bylaws
was appointed: Z. T. Harding, F. w. NJ.
Lang, Z. n. Fritz and D. l.. Westoyer.
