TRACKS ON THE BRIDGE.
Union Railroad Co. VIII Begin Laying
Them by Next Monday.

The Union Railroad Company will
probably commence laying it's rails on
weybosset bridge tomorrow. but If any
delay should occur it will not be later
than Monday when the work begins
AS soon as the rails are in place the
city will do the necessary concreting,
and the asphalt company will do its
portion of the work. Work is being
pushed along quite rapidly now, and
the bridge will soon be thrown open to
the public, together with South Water
street.
While, according to the terms of the
contract, the work should have been
finished on December 81, 1897, and
penalty for each days delay Is really
due the city, ii Is hardly probable that
the contractor will be made to settle,
as Commissioner of Public Works Smith
has I'm reality endorsed the delay, as
there were many causes to be consid-
cred.

Boston. Sept. 2.-The opportunity
recognized by the city of Boston and
vicinity when the announcement was
made some days ago that several
naval vessels were to be ordered to this
port for renovation. and seized by them
as an occasion for giving the ships. Of
ficers and men a reception, was grand
ly improved today as nine vessels
which had a share in the war with
Spain, headed by the battleship which
bears the name OF this commonwealth,
passed up the harbor in one of the
most thrilling naval parades ever seen
here.
The residents OF the city and sub
urbs, augmented by hundreds of others
congregated at vantage points from
Pemberton all along the south shore
among the wharves on the water front
and all down the north shore to Point
Shirley. The harbor was filled with all
sorts Of vessels. each OF which did It's
utmost to adequately express the well
come 1t wished to give the visitors
and the enthusiasm awakened by the
sight of the vessels which have had a
part in the recent thrilling scenes in
southern waters.
Although IL was announced that the
WarSnlpS WOuiu not redcH tboStOu iSnt,
six miles down the harbor. until noon.
those who desired to get choice po-
sitions on suburban headlands began
to collect long before that hour, and
for long time many an eye was
trained down the bay. watching for
glimpse of the smoke OF the feet, the
monotony of waiting being lightened
by the view of the multitude. of craft
which filed the channel either on the
way down to meet the squadron or
seeking good stations from which to
see the parade as II passed.
The weather could not have been
better except. perhaps, II was rather,
warm. There was scarcely any breeze.
The sky was cloudless and the waters
of the harbor were as blue as the ex-
panse above them. The heat. which
was not oppressive to the throngs on
the hillsides of the suburbs, made ii
for the thousands of
city folks who were dependent upon
the docks and wharves along the water
front. This fact. however. seemed to
have no apparent. effect on those re-
stricted to city limits. for every avail
able space was occupied hours before
the vessels possibly could reach here.

THE TORRID WAVE.
II Is Still With Us and the People Are
Suffering.

Yesterday was hot and today is hot.
OF this there can be no denial, and
none is looked for. According to fig
ures furnished by the city engineers
office September Z. 1881, was hotter
than 1t was yesterday but that does
not make suffering humanity any cool
er today, and the assertion is again
made that yesterday was hot At city
hall early yesterday afternoon the
mercury had gone up to the SO mark,
and gradually reached to 92 degrees.
1t Is very safe to say that not for
many years has the month OF Septem-
ber come in with such furnace blast.
In 1897 there was a maximum on Sept.
of 81 degrees, and in 1896 ii was only
6S5. There was hot spell in Sep
tember, 1895. 1t occurred about the
middle of the month, and the maxi
mum temperatures for the goth, 21st
and 22d were 925. 92 and SO degrees. So
that yesterday may truly be called a
very hot day. and although the mer-
curry fell off about seven points shortly
after 4 o'clock, 1t was still hot.
BY z o'clock last evening the tenn
perature had fallen to so degrees, but
this did not seem to afford much relief
through the night, and the storm
which promised to be so welcome did
not accomplish what was generally ex-
pected In the way of cooling the air.
