tering the house OF James Padley on

Henry James, foi breaking and enter

August 4. and the chief of police OF that
city wrote Detective Haberlin for in
formation concerning him, and sent

ognized by the detective as that or
Wolf. whose portrait he had and which
he forwarded to Chief Locke, and yes
terday received in answer the following
letter, which explains itself:
Police Department.
Fitchburg. Mass. Aug. IS.
John +. Haberlin, Detective:
Dear Sir-Henry James and James
Wolf are one and the same person.
Will you kindly give me all particulars
in regard to his arrest in your city. He
says he was arrested for breaking and
entering. but was never tried for that,
but was held three months In jail at
Cranston. the officers trying to connect
him with a murder case. He stoutly
denied ever being in your city till we
showed the photo you sent. think he
will plead guilty here. We have a sure
case. Will return your photo after the
trial. Thanking you for all favors,
remain, yours truly,

the fact, 1t will be remembered that

that the man James probably refers TO
in his talk with the Fitchburg chief.

deserving poor added much TO the
pleasure of patrons. The postponement
that was necessary on account OF the
weather on the night the fete was in

detracted from the success OF the af-
fair. The very pretty decoration of the

Petition For q Cross Town Trolley Line.
Notes From th. Square.


Notes From III: Square.
The question OF cross-town line Of
electrics is a matter that within the
past few days has been given much at
tention to. and petition to be cir
culated among all citizens and others
for their signatures has been prepared.
Cross-town service Is a service also
that the people of the vicinity. not only
request, but demand, and their de-
mands are justifable, because OF the
fact that If a person at present desires
to go to either of the places that could
be reached by such line. namely,
Elmwood, South Providence, Mount
Pleasant or Smiths Hill, he must
either walk 1t or pay two fares. and
either involves much waste OF time, ana
II a cross-town line was put in there Is
little doubt but that 1t would be a pay
ing investment for the Union Railroad
company, because of the short dis
tances that lie between the above
named places and Olneyville. The lat
ter would then become a larger centre
Of trade, and the business men would
accordingly be benefited. as well as the
public In general. The petition Is being
numerousiy signed, and judging from
the parties who are pushing the matter,
it is quite likely to meet with success.
Albert A. Smith, brother Of and head
