charter gives to the city the right to Tx
the terms on which the crossing shall be
made. Just above Tukey's bridge is the
bridge over the marginal way. In this
case, as the bridge is one by which two
electric roads cross the tracks of steam
road, the question of cost was fixed by the
railroad commissioners and they decided
that the Portland and Yarmouth road
should each pay $24O0 and the Portland
and Rochester $500. the city paying the
balance. Why if the plan proposed is to
prevail as to the Yarmouth roads cross
ing Tukey's bridge should it not pay in
terest on the $240o in the other case in
stead of paying the principal?
When the order passed at the last meet
ing was before the board, continued the
Mayor, indicated as far. as the presiding
officer could do SO my opinion that it
should not be passed In any event until it
had been submitted to the examination
of the city solicitor. I thought that no
such action should be taken on the state.
ment of the attorney of the road that the
order was properly drawn, the city solicit
tor being the proper official to determine
that. Since the passage of the order I
have learned that among other things
which the order in relation to the Port
land road requires and this one does not
are the following: The Portland road is
required to construct it's track under the
supervision of the commissioner Of public
works. The location of the track on the
bridge is accurately defined. 1t is pro-
vided that the road shall bear the expense
of keeping in repair the substructure
under its tracks and the paving, and it
Is also provided that the tracks shall not
be used by any other line. In the Var
mouth order none OF these things are re-
quired.
When the protest of the Portland road
comes up there are, it seems to me, only
three things which the city can do. 1t
can release the road from it's contract and
perhaps in that case lose $40, 900 insteadsof
$40. 900, it can hold the road to its con-
tract and leave the matter as 1t now
stands, or it can reconsider the vote by
which the order in ths case of the Var
mouth road was passed and then take
new action in regard to it. do not see,
however, how the Portland road can fair
" be put under one rule while the Var
mouth road is put under another. The
Portland road made its contract with the
city upon the assurance that the
same requirements would be exacted in
the cases of other roads. Now the Var
mouth road is put on an entirely differ
ent footing.

Since the hearings before the annexa-
6ion commission were commenced the

to look with more favor on the project

people for vote it is likely to re-
celye good substantial vote, some say a
majority in its favor. AT the present time

road until when near the doctors resi-
dence the animal made dash for the op-

CANNON BURST.
The Space Around 1t Looked Like {
Battlefield,

Ashevilie, n c., December PA
crowd of 100 or more men and boys were
firing a Christmas salute from an old
when a can of 80 pounds of powder ex-
ploded in the thick of the crowd. Thirty
or forty persons were injured, but none,
it is believed, fatally.
The cannon had been fired several times
and then Joseph Finch, an employe of
the Southern Railway company, picked
up the powder and began to reload the
piece. The gun had not been swabbed
out, and the moment the tiny stream of
power struck the heated metal there was
q flash and the powder exploded with a
report that made the earth tremble. A
moment later there was scene that made
the hearts sick of those watching from
a nearby hill. In the smoke that rose
from the explosion they saw human be-
ings running hare and there over the hill,
falling and rising only to fall again as
they frantically rushed about, binding
and powder burned, madly trying to
extinguish the flames which were burn
ing their clothes. Those who were unhurt
ran to the aid of the unfortunate ones,
smothering the flames in the Iatter's
clothing or cutting the garments from
their bodies. One man was blown or
rolled completely down the hill, 200 feet,
nearly to the river. People in the neigh
borhood ran to the scene and the work of
giving assistance to the injured began.
The hill was dotted with blacksned
grooming figures, some of whom Law al
most perfectly nude. A number of the in
jured were able to walk from the scene.
while cots were provided and gentle
hands placed the more seriously wound
ed on them and conveyed them to an old
residence nearby, which was improvised
into hospital. The injured:
Joseph Finch, Edward Miller, John
Ingle, Barton Means, Clarence Ledford.
Vernon S. Entell, Charles Earwood, Hay
Ration, Eugene Wynn, d. Bennett, Dex-
ter Aldrich, John Powell, B. l.. Gowan.
Henry Mcintyre, Buck Trivett, Dell
Bishop, Geo. Eaton, J. E. Hamilton.
James Warren, Frank Pratter.
Joseph Finch Is among the most seri-
ously hurt, his nose and mouth being torn
out of all shape and he is probably blind
ed.
Clarence Ledford, who stood near the
cannon, when the powder ignited, was
thrown more than so feet His clothing
was torn or burned off entirely and a
part of the skin on the forehead burned
loose. Charles Earwood and John Ingle
we're also seriously hurt and several 9th
ers probably will lose their sight or be
disfgured for life.

MARGARET MATHER.
Throughout New England, few names
are better known and few have become
more prominent than that Of Mather
OF the famous divines of that section sew
eral names stand out but none shine with
greater lustre than that of Cotton
Mather, whose ministrations left behind
them an indelible mark. Cotton Mather
came of good old English stock, and it is
with pardonable pride that to him Miss
Margaret Mather, the distinguished
actress, traces her lineage. The earliest
of Cotton Mather's ancestors of whom
authentic record has been kept was
named John. and he was a native of Win
wick Parish in Lancashire. His son was
named Thomas and that sons wife was
the first Mather to bear the name of Mar
garet. Her son, Richard was the grand
father of Cotton Mather. He was brought
up under the shadow of the beautiful old
Winwick Parish Church, attended the
Winwick Grammar School, and played
under the celebrated old Winwick Broad
Oak.
A warm welcome will be given to Miss
Margaret Mather when tomorrow evening
she will begin her engagement at the
Jefferson theatre in "Cymbeline. Of
all the works of Shakespeare this is one
of the most rarely presented, although the
chief role, that of Imogen, has always
exerted powerful fascination over our
best actresses, for the part is very
strong and eminently sympathetic one.
THE GAIETY.
AT the Gaiety this week will be seen
the greatest company of artists ever as
sembied at this popular place of amuse-
ment, including in its members, Harry
Seton, the dancing spider; Higgins and
Leslie, Richie and Richie, Al. and
Mamie Anderson, Lew Benedict, Henry
and Waite and Fannie Aldworth.
THE HOUSE PARTY.
A love scene-the old, old story, yet
ever new-perhaps because no two men
ever proposed in exactly the same. way
or because those who have never proposed
want to know how to do it or because
those who have proposed or been proposed
to are curious to know how other people
have done it or is it perhaps, because all
the world loves lover? However it may
be, those who do love lovers, will lind the
love scenes in the House Party among
the most attractive of its features, scenes
which take the old fellow back to the
days when he went a-wooing MolJv'O
and take the young fellow in his dreams
to the time when he shall be permitted to
whisper his words of love into the eovly
expectant ears of his Phyllis. So let the
gray beard come to the House Party and
for an hour or two, live in retrospect the
haloyon days of the past, and let the
