Notes From ii: North Ead.

At 3:i5 o'clock this morning the unoc-
cupied barn at 202 Smithfeld avenue
owned by Owen Csmpbells sons was dis
covered on fire by James Martin, night
clerk at he New York, New Haven d
Hartford freight yard, above Branch

THEv ARE STILL KICKING.
The residents of Wanskuek VINO uss
the electric cars have q decided psnchant
for using the Admiral street Iiuc, and
the Railroad company seems TO desire that
the Branch avenue line should be patron
lied. At least this Is what more than
one good customer Of the street railway
system, who lives out Ia the quiet village
tninks. ! he subject 10 frequently dis
cvssed by persons who use the Admiral
street line for they are badly crushed
during certain trips as so many prefer
to use the small cars that the company
put on that route In order to save time
instead Of taking the big and generally
nearly empty cars that are run out to
Wsnskuck by way of Brapcn avenue. The
patrons Of the road up north feel little
sore Ia the matter for they think the
service given them is not equal TO that
high grads OF s.rvice in other parts OF
tho city that has won such deserved
praise for tue company. Tho same sized
cars are now used on the Admiral street
route ss were used when the terminus Of
the rcut, was at Eagle Park bu, since
tine extension of th1 route to the west
intersection OF VeszIe street and DougIas
avenue the patronage has as above inti-
mated greatly increased.
