Runaway on Uiioa Avenue Notes From
tn: SquAr; and v cinity.

Mrs James Titcomb OF Baltimore.
nd, who is visiting at the home of
relatives in Scituate. was the victim
OF rather severe shaking mp on Union
avenue yesterday, as the result of a
horse which was being driven by her
niece. Miss Hopkins. becoming fright
ened BY a passing locomotive.
The two women had been 10 the city
upon a shopping tour in a democrat
wagon, and were returning by way OF
Union avenue about O'clock. AS they
neared the railroad bridge a south
bound freight train came along, making
an unusual noise TO which the horse
was I'm no way accustomed. He started
and dashed forward. and was soon go
ing at terrific pace. By the time the
train reached the bridge the team had
got beyond II. and as the train emerged
on the other side the loud putting caused
the animal TO become unmanageable.
As he neared the corner of Webster
avenue the women managed TO turn
the animal around the corner, but the
turn was so short that Mrs. Titcomb
was unable to retain her seat, and was
precipitated into the bottom of the
wagon and almost out into the road
way. but by great effort she managed to
cling to the inside. A few moments
later an old man. with two shovels. who
was coming along Webster avenue, ran
out, and waving the shovels In the air
stopped the horse Mrs. Titcomb was
not Injured, except for scratch upon
her right thumb. although, as stated,
she was badly shaken up.
The work of resetting the pavements
on Plain1ield street is now completed,
and the job is greatly appreciated by
all.

PAWTUXET VALLEY.

The officials of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad made
visit to Westcott yesterday for the pur'
pose of examining the railroad crossing
and devising some means OF abolishinf
the grade crossing and changing the
line OF road between Natick and River
point, so as to carry the street over
the tracks at Westcott. This change
has been talked of for several years
but, although the necessity OF the
change was recognized, no move was
made in that direction until lately.
when the opening OF the electric road
between Providence and the valley
again brought the matter before the
public. The electric railroad company
decided to build bridge over the
tracks near the residence of William
Eccleston below Westcott. and lay
its rails on the road from Apponaug 70
Riverpoints At the same time the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road company, which has for some time
been anxious to abolish the Westcott
crossing, decided to take some action
in the matter. and as the result the OFF,
cials examined the place yesterday and
practically decided to make the i'm
provement II the town and the electric
railroad company would bear their
share Of the expense. The electric rail-
road company has signified Its readi-
ness to pay It's proportfonate share or
the cost Of the change, and 1t Is more
than probable that at it's next meet
ing the Warwick town council will take
action in the matter and join with the
two corporations In paying for the
change in the road.

State Normal School Grounds-Late Notes
From Capitol Hill.


The grounds around the new state
normal school are now in very beauti-
ful condition. A choice variety Of flow
ers well arranged in regard to color
effects have been planted. and they. as
well as the fine lawns and shrubbery
around the wide walks in front of the
handsome structure, offer delightful
contrast to the busy streets, a short
distance away. 1t was suggested In
The News good while ago that the
sooner work on the beautifying of the
new state house grounds was begun
the better. and one who views now the
condition OF the normal school grounds
will not doubt the wisdom OF that sug-
gestion. The running of the Elmwood
cars up Francis street Is bound TO make
the property on Smiths hill more valu-
able than ever before, for IL will be
easier 10 reach quickly, and the journey
up there either in the cars or by walk
ing up Francis street will be pleas
anter one than has ever before been
possible. Besides enabling one to get
down or up town very quickly. the new
car route will connect more closely than
ever before two of the prettiest Sec
tions of the city.
Business was particularly dull at the
Second police station last night, as
there were but two arrests. and the
parties taken into custody simply com
mitted an offence against the proprie-
ties by having no home in this city.
