to the Worcester Consolidated, an cleo
| tIdc, not steam, road. The right to
cross the causeway was leased with
other rights. There is no possibility that
the Worcester and Shrewsbury can get
any legitimate advantage from the pas
sage of this bill.
Solicitor Rugg told of the opposition
of Mr.. Bigelow to the citys plan of the
bridge, and said that although he was a
benevolent citizen, he wanted things
done in his way, and did not care what
the opinion of other people was. The
necessity Of communication with Marl-
boro is done away with by organization
of the Worcester and Marlboro Street
Railway Company. 1t has no connec-
ton with the Worcester Consolidated,
hence it is felt that there is no reason
able possibility that Mr.. Bigelow will do
anything for the extension of his road.
The city is interested in seeing that the
causeway is not burdened with steam
road on the south side, now that it has
an electric road on the north side Pub
lie convenience and safety forbid.
City Engineer Mcclure produced the
plans of the bridge which has been or
dered, and Of the later one which is pro-
posed, and said that it would be i'm
possible to add tracks for a steam rail-
road to either of the plans.
Mayor Dodge said that, as executive
of the city, he desired no complications
in the construction of the bridge 1t
was not reasonable to provide for the
construction of the steam road as things
stand. Since the construction of the
Marlboro electric road there is no rea-
sonable prospect that the steam road
will be built. If Mr. Bigelow ever
wishes to extend his tracks hereafter,
the legislature will doubtless give him
consideration The Worcester Consoli-
dated has never asked that its rights in
this matter be preserved. Business for
two roads between the two cities does
not exist. 1t is a question whether the
popularity of electric car riding will
continue as now, but Lake Quinsig-
amond will draw great deal of travel
This main point was that doubt should
not be thrown about the conditions to
be imposed on the bridge. He would
not oppose the extension IL 1t We're sure
the railroad would be built, but a mar
row gauge road is not at all a suitable
road to build in this age of progress.
Representative Allen of Shrewsbury
authorized Solicitor Rugg to say that
his town did not care for the proposed
bill.
Representative Rice of Worcester
spoke on the facility of passenger and
freight traffic between Worcester and
Marlboro.
The committee voted to give Mr. Bige-
low three days in which to present ad-
ditional evidence; then they will act
without holding the case open.

THE PIPE LINE NATTER.

Boston, Feb. 25-The committee on
manufactures continued it's hearing to-
day on the Massachusetts, pipe line mat
ter. Hon. William NJ Butler, represent
ing the Massachusetts Pipe Lime Com
pany, said the first section Of the bill
contained two propositions-on that the
price of gas furnished direct by the Pipe
Line Company to the consumer shall not
exceed go cents, and the other, that the
gas furnished through the pipes of the
Massachusetts, Pipe Line Company shall
be sold by the distributing companies
at q price not exceeding so cents per
1000 cubic feet.
In regard to the first proposition, Mr..
Butler said the act of 1896, chartering
the Pipe Line Company, expressly pro-
yided that the company should not
charge more than sixty cents per 1000
cubic feet for gas it sold directly TO the
consumer.
In regard to the second proposition,
Mr.. Butler respectfully called the at
tention of the committee to authority
now held under the law by the gas conn
nissioners to regulate the price OF gas.
SUFFOLK SENATORS.
Boston, Feb. 25.--John A. Keliher and
Mayor Josiah Quincy appeared before
the committee on election laws at the
state house, this morning, in support OF
a bill accompanying Mr.. Kelihers petit
ton, that in the county Of Suffolk all
nominations for state senator shall be
made by direct plurality vote, at party
caucuses held in the wards of the sew
eral senatorial districts.
The contention was that the present
system of nominating by convention is
worn out and should be abandoned.

value of condemned cattle involve the
payment of half value of tuberculous
animals instead of full value, as now
obtains. Upon these measures and on
this particular point, DR.. Austin Peters,
chairman of the state board of cattle
commissioners, addressed the committee
in favor of legislation to this end. Dr.
Peters also favored an amendment to
the law providing that animals slightly
infected with the germs, but not. af-
fected with the disease, should be used
for beef purposes instead of for fer
tilizer.
Secretary Sessions of the state board
Of agriculture opposed the legislation
relative to reducing compensation to
half value, on behalf of the Eastern
Hampden Society, whose institute
he attended a few days ago. Mr. Ses-
sions represented that full compensa-
ton was provided on account Of the
drastic measures of the cattle commits
sioners of 1894. If compensation was
reduced, the cattle owners generally
would feel that they We're buncoed, and
that their side of the bargain had been
taken away from them If the crusade
against tuberculosis was too expensive,
it was hardly fair to reduce the cost
at the expense of the farmer.
James S. Stockwell of Sutton repre-
senting the Massachusetts state grange,
opposed any legislation reducing COM
pensation for condemned animals. The
farmer could afford to lose animals for
the health of the state no better than In
1895, when the legislature said that the
state should bear the burden of such
radical health measures.
Warren c. Jewett of Worcester, mas
ter of the state grange, also opposed any
change in the law. He thought that the
farmer should be encouraged to cooper
ate with the commission. The proposed
reduction would accomplish an entirely
different result. To the committee, Mr..
Jewett stated that the executive COM
mitee of the state grange, one OF whose
members was cattle commissioner.
was unanimously opposed to half COM
pensation.
Ex-senator Hiokook of Williamstown
Joined in the opposition to any reduc-
tion in compensation. ]. L. Harrington
of Lunenburg declared that it was un-
safe under the present law for a far
mer to send his COW to the butcher for
| beef without first testing her with tu-
berculin for proving tuberculous at the
I butchers, there was no compensatng
the owner, Notwithstanding the fact that
the animal might be in the very pic
ture of health; if she was tested, the re-
suit of the test would show the owner
whether OF not to throw her on the
state. The moment compensation was
| reduced there was chance for the op-
ponents of compensation to throw it
! completely overheard. Mr.. Harrington
| declared that tubercuIin was making
more rotten cattle than anything else
II tuberculln was to be used, then full
| compensation should hold. The real way
| to eradicate tuberculosis, in Mr.. Har.
rington's opinion, was to pay no COM
! pensation and forbid the use of tubercu-
lin as the diagnostic for detecting the
germs of the disease.
| The hearing was then closed.

GAS INVESTIGATION.
Discoveries by Committees Seem to Point
That Way.

Boston, Feb 25.-There is likely to be
sensation Of portentous moment be-
fore long, regarding the behavior and
the dealings of the gas companies in and
around Boston during the past year
The order, introduced early in the ses-
sion by Representative Miller of Boston,
FOR an investigation into the affairs of
gas companies, has led to discoveries by
the committee on rules that seem to in
dicate clearly the certainty of an inves-
tgation by the Legislature, into the al
legged deals and agreements between
certain gas companies, since the enact
ment of legislation in 1895, for the in
corporation of the Massachusetts Pipe
Line Gas Company.
Although Mr.. Miller of Boston intro
duced the order for AN investigation. it
is curious fact that he has never ap-
peared before the committee on rules to
! advocate their favorable consideration
OF the same. The opponents of the order
the gas companies, were conspicuous
through the presence of the counsel, in
cluding Messrs. Robert M. Morse. Ed
ward A. Mclaughlin and William M.
Butler. All of these gentlemen were be-
fore the committees on rules and argued
against a favorable consideration of the
order
Notwithstanding the fact of Mr.. Mil
lers absence from the committee, it was
felt that the subject was one which
commanded more than passing attention
and the committee began to make in
quiries on their own account. Thursday
the chairman of the gas commissioners
was before the committee and from
what leaked out since that meeting, it
is clear that the statements of Mr.. Bar
ker have set the committee thinking, as
many of the members have never
thought before 1t is said that several of
the members declare that an investiga-
ton must follow, and it's results will
show that the big companies have been
violating the spirit of the law if not its
letter, in a degree that will cause the
people of the state to open their eyes at
the audacity of great corporate wealth
and power. 1t is said that there has been
an understanding, approaching very
near to an agreement or contract, where
by the several Boston gas companies are
receiving their gas from the Massachu-
setts Pipe Line Company, and that this
company receives its gas from mons
ter foreign corporatioE-alleged to be
without corporate organization-with a
capital stock Of $35, 900, 600. The capital
represented by4 the allied interests is
said to amount to more than $100, ,00O, 900,
and that the object of association and
understanding is anything but to pro-
duce and distribute cheap gas to the
people of the great metropolitan dis
trict. This is the gist of what developed
from the interview with the chairman
of the gas commission, and this will lead
to an investigation, perhaps not on the
order introduced by Mr.. Miller, but upon
a separate order from the committee on
rules The consideration of Miller's or
der is to be continued Tuesday next in
open session of the committee on rules,
instead of behind closed doors as on
Thursday,
