THE CAPE ELECTRlCs.
Why They Desires Change of Location in
the City

In conversation with Mr.. Krutz. the
managing director Of the Portland q
Cape Elizabeth Electric Railway yester-
Gay that gentleman was ask ed if he
would state Ithe reasons for desire on
the part of the company to change the
location of the oompany's tracks and
terminus in Portland. Mr.. Krutz replied
the reason was very simple. Market
street, though not very wide street, is
still wide enough for the needs of the
company, and yet afford ample room for
the light travel that prevails on that
thoroughfare. It is probably true, he
said, that there is considerable travel on
Federal street, but that is one of the wild
est streets in theScity and even with our
tracks upon 1t there cannotabe detriment
to the trade of the street. We want to
get these locations for our. tracks be-
cause a very large portion of our travel
will be Cape people. If we stop at Cross
street, they have quite distance to go
to reach the City Building and attend
business in the Offices and courts located
there, they will be farther than is de-
sirable from the post Office, the principal
hotels, and the theatre. Now at Monu-
ment Square we shall be equally distant
from the promenades, and by establishing
the new route shall be within block
or half block of all the places just men
toned. Whether the city government
will grant our petition, said Mr.. Krutz,
remains to be seen. but by the terms
of our charter. they. have the right to do
SO if they see fit.
The tracks on Commercial street have
reached almost to the foot of Gross street,
SO that it is necessary to have the matter
of change of location attended to at
once,

Effects Of Holidays Upon Those Who Are
Compelled tn Visit the City Hall.

A good deal Of grumbling could be heard
at the city Hall yesterday afternoon
by those who had business to transact
in the various offices and were compelled
TO climb up the stars, for the reason
that the elevators he'd been shut down for
the day.
A number OF visitors and sight-seers,
ladies' and gentlemen. and ladies having
business in the School Board Office on
Tho ton floor were also very much in
commodsd by this cessation Of elevator
traffic and the complaint was universal.
Under the existing rules two elevators
are run on week days from A. NJ TO 4
y. Nj and the THIRD one after +. NJ.
In this manner each elevator man has
very little TO do every third week. for
while II is true that the meetings of the
Common Council sometimes last until
after midnight. his never occurs oftener
than once "A month on the outside. All
other meetings are generally through by
10 T. NJ So IL might safely be said that
only six hours form a days work for
each elevator man every third week, and
very often when there are no night
meetings, the man on duty in the elevator
can leave at 1870 T. NJ. at the latest. On
Saturdays the elevators can never be
found running after T. NJ.
What is said about the elevator men
fully applies to the Janitors in the build
ing All of them. except the one in
charge of the Council chamber and the
committee rooms. who kept his regular
hours, left Yesterday promptly noon,
and they win not return until tomorrow

Some months ago the directors of the

nine years.

Alliance to induce the Attorney-General
10 bring suit to annul the lease to the
Southern railway, and 20 revoke the
charter Of the North Carolina railroad
on the ground that the directors had
forfeited its charter by making a lease
which was virtually equivalent TO a sale.
Attorney-General Osborne this even
ing decided TO make application to the
Supreme Court for leave TO prosecute.
He says that while he Is OF the opinion
that the lease is valid. yet ne considers
II his duty to institute this proceeding.
The Supreme Court granted the leave
TO institute suit to test the legality OF
the lease. No order IL issued 10 insti-
tute suit. but in conformity with law,

has returned from Halifax county, where
he was summoned as witness IN the
case Of the Commonwealth against j. -
Granger who was charged with muir
dering the child OF Mrs. Ada Seaihs'e

Readers Of The Times will remember
that the Seamster child died suddenly,
alter showing symptoms OF having been
poisoned. II was alleged that Granger
was Jealous OF Mrs. Scamster, ana III
irving 10 poison her. killed the child.
This was said 10 have been done with
arsenic or some other deadly drug. Mrs'
Seamstcr was taken sick after eating
some OF the bread made from the meal
into which the arsenic was alleged 10
have been put. She recovered, but a
mouse and the child who partook of the
bread died.

child were brought to Or. Taylor. VINO

poison had been the cause OF the child s
death. Or. Taylor. after careful and
laborious analysis. discovered arsenic
in the stomach OF the child and also or
the mouse. He testified to this when
put upon the stand.
Meantime. the Seamster woman, who
was the principal witness in the case, ran
away, and the case was necessarily post
poned on that account. After several
