FUNERAL OF U. B. JOHNSON.
Grafton Ball Enthusiasts Glad Town is
Not in New League.

Grafton, March 14-The funeral OF
Uriah B. Johnson, who died at his home
in Cleveland, Ohio, last Friday morning,
was held at the Baptist Church at
o'clock this afternoon. Rev. George L.
Hibbard officiated, and paid high tri-
butte to the noble character and upright
life of the departed. Among the floral
tributes was wreath from the Sunday
school Of the church. Interment was at
Riverside cemetery.
For many years prior to his removal
to Ohio, which was about six years ago,
Mr.. Johnson was highly esteemed and
respected citizen of this town, where he
took an active interest in the welfare or
the community, and was an earnest
Christian worker; having for about
twenty years had charge of a class of
young men at the church from which he
was buried. He was also assistant super
intendent and vice president of the
Sunday school at different times, and led
the choir for many years. He was S.
years of age.
Grafton base ball enthusiasts are really
glad that Grafton is not to be in the
Central Massachusetts League With
Grafton's team working independently
of any league schedule, most of the
games will be played here, and the gem
eral public will take much more interest
in the games than they otherwise would.
At the close of the season the team will
be able to witness the additional attrae-
ton of championship games between the
Creations and the leaders of the Central
League if such a league is successfully
carried on during the season.

There is talk of an article to be in
serted in the annual warrant, to see if
the town viii elect a superintendent of
highways and bridges, instead of the
present plan of appointment by the Sc
lectmen.
There are a number of people who
would like to see an article looking to a
change in method of choosing selectmen,

ing away with the present plan and
electing the officers for three years.
An effort will be made at the annual
town meeting to secure an appropriation

debt and town expenses, the general
opinion is that>it would be better to
wait a few years
The water for the first time is run

method of road-building than exists at
present.

.DEATHON CROSSING
Mrs. Martha A. Pitts Killed by
Train in Fitchburg.
She Was Returning 10 Her Home on
Milk Street from Sunday Evening
Meeting.

Fitchburg, March IA shocking ac-
cident occurred on the Putnam street
crossing of the Fitchburg railroad in
this city last evening, by which Mrs.
Martha A. Pitts lost her life.
Mrs Pitts was returning to her home
on Milk street from a Sunday evening
meeting, and when about one foot from
the other side of the crossing was struck
by an extra passenger train from the
west, and instantly killed.
The body was dragged some so feet
and thrown to one side of the rails She
was struck by the engine, but in such
did not know of the accident, and the
train proceeded on its way.
Some persons who were walking be-
hind Mrs. Pitts missed her after the
train passed, and found her as above
stated
Medical Examiner ]. d. Kielty of this
city was Immediately notified and
viewed the remains at once, after which
they We're removed to her late home.
Mrs. Pitts was about Sc years old. and
leaves a husband and three sons, resid-
ing here, and a sister, Mrs. Sarah Briggs
of Aver.
1t is evident that Mrs. Pitts did not
see the train, or if she did, supposed
that she had time to cross.
OF the four grade crossings of the city
only one is guarded after the evening
express passes through for the west,
which is about S.35.
Petitions have been made several
years for the abolition of the four cross
ings; but up to the present time nothing
beyond the drawing up of plans and the
estimating of the cost has been done,
This is the first fatality that has oc-
Cured on this particular crossing, but
there have been narrow escapes.
On the West street crossing, which
was closed up several year ago by the
building of a new street, several lives
have been sacrificed
The funeral of the unfortunate woman
will be held at o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
