NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES
No Electric Raiirond at heene This
ltur

No Electric Railroad at heene This
Year.
The keene electric street railroad will
not be built this year. SO much red tape
surrounds the legal provisions that the
preliminary proceedings will occupy sew
eral months IL is first necessary TO lay
the matter before the state supreme court
and the railroad commissioners that they
may decide whether the public good re-
quircs the building of the road on the pro-
posed route. After this is done the mayor
and aldermen may grant a location. The
directors expected to close a contract soon
for its construction by Mr.. Coolidge. the
contractor for the Brattleboro and Gard
ner roads. As the laws now stand the
general act in relation to electric railroad,
is amendatory to the special charter which
the keene company hold.

Sensational Charges Preferred by
Wife in Her Application
for a Divorce.

Judge Kelly yesterday partly heard
the suit OF Nora Presley for a divorce
from her husband, William Presley
he then continued it for a few weeks
to give the plaintiff an opportunity to
produce some corroborative evidence.
The story told by the woman is a
rough one, as indicated in her com
paint, the substance of which was pub
nshed in the GLOBE at the time if was
filed few weeks ago.
She charges her husband with being
a criminal who has taken her about
from one part of the country to an
otner; that he was mixed up in the
larceny of some goods here, and that
they were hidden in his house, and he
threatened to kill her because she
demonstrated with him. Later on he
told of another theft he was about to
commit, and when she began to plead
with him not to do it, he beat her and
threatened to kill her. Testimony was
offered to show that he had stolen 81. 600
from his father at Mankato. Mrs. Pres
ley claims that her husband always
treated her badly and never provided
decently for her support.

CONFIDING WILLIE BROWN.
He Entrusts His Wealth to Two
Sirens Who How If In.

He Entrusts His Wealth to Two
Sirens Who Blow 1t In.
Cora Willis and Adelaide Conroy,
two women of the town, were prison
ers before Judge Orr yesterday on
charge of larceny. They will be ar
raigned for trial today. Cora and Addy
are alleged to enjoy the protection of
men of means. Sunday night the pair
were out for a lark and made the &C
quaintance of William Brown. In his
mind Willie was very fly, so he was
highly fattered when the fairies in
vited him to their apartments on Sew
enth street. A new $40 bill burned in
Willie's pocket, and he could not re-
sist the temptation of making a
flash with much ostentation. A
gilded youth with ''stuff'' to throw to
the birds could not have been more
serene than Willie with his big green
back.
But Cora and Addy wanted that 800 of
Williams, and besieged it's unfortunate
posSessor to share his wealth with
them. He was willing to donate a sill
yer shellel to each, only he had no
change. His giddy companions quick
ly suggested a remedy. They offered
to go out and shatter the greenback.
Brown acquiesced and entrusted his
wealth to the women. He was in
structed to wait until they returned.
He complied, and puffed pack of CT
garettes before it dawned upon him
that he was a large, silver-lined, gilt
edged sucker" Then Willie raced
like maniac for the police. He con-
fided in Sergeant Ross, who easily ran
down the women. But they had blown
in most of Browns wealth for "Pom-
merry Sec and white Label
