A oowardly attempt was made Tuesday
night to throw one of the Cape Eliza
beth cars of the track at Willard. 1t
was on one of the late trips from Simon
toms Cove and the car was running
along at good rate of speed and had
just passed the Willard post office whsn
the motoneer, Mr.. Smith, slowed up to
allow passenger to get aboard the car.
just as the car stopped Mr.. Smith looked
ahead to see that the track WAS clear and
discovered few feet ahead, large rock,
weighing perhaps two or three hundred
pounds, which had been rolled directly
onto the track and which theEcar would
have struck if it had not been stopped
just in time. 1t is thought to be the
work of some of the boys in the neigh
borhood who evidently did not realize
the seriousness of the offence and the
amount of damage it would do. Some of
the boys of this neighborhood are get
ting altogether too lively for the place
and Constable Willard has already made

examination of Pride's bridge reveals
the fact that the work of rebuilding the
structure must be commenced at once, as
the bridge is now nearing that stage of
decay where further delay would be dam
gerous. The bridge is 140 feet long and is
in two spans. The centre pier is badly
out of repair and will have to De entire
ly rebuilt. Extensive repairs will also
be required on the abutments. This
superstructure is of iron and WAS built
IN 1869. This will have to be removed
and replaced by a new bridge. Mr..

of the bridge to the incoming city gov
eminent and ask for the necessary appro-
priation.
