And there was mighty temp nj

Dr. Conrad referred to the great
storm of a week ago, and spoke of the.
lessons to be learned from the calam-
ity of shipwreck, particularly the
wreck Of the Portland, which occurred
last Sunday morning off the shores of
Cape Cod.
He told of listening to an account of
q shtpWreck that occurred some wears
ago. The awful details were described
to him by one who had been saved from
the wreck
The speaker illustrated how impo-
tent is the power of man beside the
power of God, and said that a calamity
such as the disaster of a week ago
showed man how unable he was to cope
with the powers above. Today the
sun shines brightly and in a moment
comes the storm, houses are swept

He asked his hearers to place their

Great Captain. He spoke of life's

liam c. Fletcher. Grafton's lone Klon-
diker, are in receipt of a letter from
him at Dawson City, dated Sept. IS, in
which he tells of Dawson, it's inhabit-
ants and surroundings He says there
were $4,000 people camped in tents at
that city and about 1000 in tents out
side the city. At the time of writing,
it was just commencing to freeze the
surface of the ground, but the rivers
were still open.
He had not yet got any gold, but
stated that wages We're $40 day. and
there were many more men than there
was work for Only one member Of the
party which left Worcester nearly d
year ago, was with him, the others
having turned back at various points.
Mailing a letter and receiving one at
Dawson is anything but a pleasant ex-
perience, until the long-eXpected mis-
sive is finally received, as one has to
wait in line for several hours before
his turn comes at the post Office. In
addition to this, one dollar has to be
paid the officials.

FlTcHBURG MATTERS.
Coming City Election and Grade Cross
inc Matters-A Lucky Delay

Coming City Election and GRACE CToss
ing Matters-A Lucky Delay.
Fitchburg. Dec. 4-On the eve of the
municipal election the powers that be
are confronted with a perpleXing ques-
ton in the fact that there are several
ward officers who are candidates for
municipal offices, that have not been re-
moved according to law. In other words
the law provides that in cases Where
ward officers are candidates for any olty
office their names shall be stricken
from the list eight days before the cleo
ton. This has not been DONE as cleo
ton day comes Tuesday Just what VIII
be done is not known.
Joseph F. Britton of Boston, who has
an Office in this city, arrived home from
Portland yesterday. He is thanking his
lucky stars that he did not go on the
steamer Portland, which foundered at
sea, and only for his wife he would now
be in a Watery grave He left this city
Saturday morning and placed his bag
gage on board the Portland, and then
went to his home to see his wife. While
there and just as he was ready to start
for the boat his wife demonstrated with
him as to the clothing he wore, and
succeeded in having him make a
change. This tooE more time than he
anticipated, and when he reached the
steamboat landing the Portland was
steaming down the harbOr He went
down later by train.
Apropos of the fact that the special
railroad commissioners of which board
Col lockwood Hoar of Worcester is
chairman, appointed to hold hearings
on the proposed abolition of two of the
grade crossings of the city have de-
cided to hold another hearing relative
to the abolition of the Water street
crossing, so-called, before making a
decision as to the others. 1t is worthy
of notice to record that the Fitchburg
railroad directors are reported from
good authority to be in favor of abol-
ishing this crossing. The crossing is To-
Gated adjacent to the Union depot, and
to abolish it means that the tracks of
the F'itchburg railroad will have to be
elevated for at least one mile, begin
ming at East Fitchburg and extending
toward the city.
The cost of this proposed work was
given at one of the hearings as 81 ,000,-
600 to the road. This of course would
be the program if the overhead system
is ordered by the commissioners. In
event Of the change it is said that the
operation Of elevation will take several
years, as the tracks would have to be
raised while in constant use. Not only
this, but the tracks when they reach
the city proper will be at least ten or
fifteen feet above their present loca-
ton and the passenger station will have
to be remodeled in order to gain access
to cars.
