A M0t0rman With Music
IN His SOIe."
COURT AGAIN ON FULL TIME
The Assessors in Session To-day Band
Concert Last Night.

AZ a musical instrument. True, there is
The "whsng- wbaDg" OF tho gong when
any body Is In the way, as a warning for
him to get out. Then the there II tie
single stroke 10 "stert her" and the same
twice repeated to "stop her." and then
here Is also the tink!e tinkle OF the regis
ter, as the bickles are gathered In, which |
shows that the conductor Is following out |
Mark TwsiD's injunction TO
"Pnncn, punch. punch with care;
L inch In the presence Of the passengare."
But these are not exactly musical |
sounds, or at least harmonious sounds,
after all. There is one car, however, num-
Der 27l9 In the route between Oak Grove
cemetery and the Catholic Oak In Ions
dale that Is marvel on It's way.
There IL hole on the front platform,
through which passes heavy iron pin or
striker, that rests on q spring and 10
worked by pressure OF the motorman's
foot. When he crowds 1t down, 1t re-
leases the hammer OF the big gong under
meath, and there is q sharp quick stroke,
usually OF warning. In THE particular
car, however, tue use Is somewhat modi-
fed. The motormsn evidently has" music
In his SOLE" and he proved 1t on trip up
this morning. II
AS the car neared Clay street, two dis.
reputable looking women were standing
on the sidewalk. One had evidently run
full tilt into the edge OF door in the dark
night watches, and the work OF the blow
was seen In huge blue black circle
around her right eye. The other had on
calico dress, very much soiled, theI oriRi-
nal pattern of which a blue and white
check. AS the car rolled by them, the
motorman kicked out the first few notes
of 1.-TWO Little Girls In Blue" and every.
body smiled.
On the next crossing there was a dog
fight In full swing. One canine had the
other down on the ground, and was hold
ing on to his throat for dear life. "T'row
him down McCloskey" rang out on the
startled air as the car passed.
At the corner OF Broad and Summit
streets the car stopped and very pretty
young lady with an onyx headed pin
stuck through her hat crown and beaut.-
full bunch of sweet peas pinned on the
lapel OF her natty little coat, trlpped gaily
up the sidewalk, and, as the car resumed
its journey, the motorman looked back
with a far-away glance In his eye, and
the opening bars Of "The Girl i Lett Be-
hind Me-" were waited back to the ear Il
the reporter, as he went down to the
Temple OF Justice In search OF a stray
item.
Who shall say, after this, that trolley
ear Is not musical, IL properly handled?
Court i'm Full Swing.
Clerk Follett has returned from a pleas.
n Fri IN ha uord ho
again in full working trim. Only two
cases were tried today, however. One
drunk and one revel, SO. 20 In all, when it
Is paid, made up the lot, and 1t was q
mighty uninteresting lot, too. A short
horse is soon curried, and the crowd filed
out, left the room to the hard finisher
and his mortar board.
Assessors Meet.
The Assessors are In session today, ard
many pocket book will be wrung with
agony, as result of their deliberations.
But, unlike the proverbial worm, the as.
SCISSORS never turn, and all the swearing
In the world won't help the matter at oil,
unless 1t Is done at the proper time, on a
printed blank and under seal.
Their Annual Excursion.
Today the Central Falls Congregational
Sunday school went on their annual ex-
cursion to Tiverton. 1t was large party
that boarded the steamer Pawnee this
morning and 1t is safe to say that the oc
casion was q most enjoyable one to all.

last evening OF the Union Cornet band of
Valley Falls was the means OF attracting a
large number OF people to this popular
breathing place of the small Hest CITY. A
