strucied near Point Judith will have
much 10 do with the future OF property at
Block Island, for it is reported that when
the breakwater is completed and the Salt
Pond opened that there will be line of
ferry boats to the island. The accom-
panying illustration gives the proposed
lines.
The Consolidated road will probably
build an extension from Narrsgansett
Pier 10 the beach, and a smart boat will
make ths distance across the bay in about
80 minutes. When the gap is completed
the New London d Norwich boat will
run into the land locked harbor instead
Of landing at New Shoreham. IL will
shorten the run about twenty minutes.
While no move has really been made in
this direction by the railroad company, it
IS, nevertheless, well known fact that,
IN the opinion OF railroad ana steam boat
men, the scheme Is feasible. The people
OF Block Island will push the matter.
The work at both places In being
hurried, and at the breakwaler Hughes
Brothers & Bangs, the contractors, have
nearly doubled their facilities for doing
the work, and IL is expected that before
snow flies the job will be practical CON-
pieted, and that by the time the following
summer season opens at Block Island
pleasure seekers can land there from n
bran new ferry boat, from the extension
OF the Consolidated road at Narragansett
Pier.

These words were uttered last night at
the close of the regular evening services
by Rev. J. NJ. Townsend. colored. pastor
Of Quinn chapel. Twenty-fourth street

colored people applauded the sentiment
and rose to their feet to further show
their appreciation of their pastors stand.
Rev. Townsend's sermon had been called
forth by the report in the morning pa
pers OF the outrage upon Neal Smith at
Chattanooga. When Il was finished the
pastor gave out the hymn "Thou Sleep
