THg GRADE CROSSINGS
Committee Appointed to Secure Set Of
Pictures to Show the CHANGES.

The members of the grade crossing
commission met Saturday evening in the
aldermanic chamber and appointed a
couple of committees to look after some
of the details of the work
One committee, consisting eof l. E.
Comins, William Hart and Councilman
Inman was appointed to + consider the
freight facilities and to secure data from
the various railroads regarding their
present capacity and the amount it can
besincreased.
Another committee will secure a set of
pictures showing the approaches to the
crossings at Lincoln square and Grafton
street. In two of these, the representa-
ton will be as the crossing now exists;
two more viii show the appearance if
the tracks were to be depressed, and a
third pair will show the view with the
tracks elevated. These representations
will be placed on exhibition for the ben
eft of the public. The members of this
second committee are City Engineer Nc
Clure, Alderman Mellen, Councilman

mand is not furnished with the new ha-
versack, but instead the men have the
old pattern.
The enlistment terms Of many of the
Battery have recently expired, among
the number being Sergt. E. w. Wheel
err Sergt. C. W. Stevens, Sergt. J. w.
sGlazier, Corp. F. S. Taylor Bugler E.
H. Bailey, Privates A. c. Hines and F.
B. Harlow. The mastering officer will
be at company headquarters, Wednes-
day night, when most of these men will
probably >re-enlist.
Three men were mustered into the
Battery last week.
Capt. Brusos application for retire
ment with the rank of major was sent
to headquarters last "wednesday night
and an answer is expected by the next
meeting Of the company.
The officers Of the battery have re-
ceived invitations to attend the social
of the Worcester Continentals.

5-Col f. w Wellington, assistant in
spector general, to stop all playing Of
basket bali when, in his opinion it
should be, or when any of these condi-
tions are violated.
Samuel Dalton, Adjutant General.
The petitioners are not at all pleased
with the reply, it being their wish to re-
establish the game on the same grounds
as last year. At that time admission
was charged, but all moneys paid to
witness games were given with the UNI
derstanding that they were contribu-
tions to defray the expenses of the
game, and not for admission to witness
the games. This was done to circum-
vent an armory rule prohibiting the
charging of admission to any entertain
ment at the armory. The companies
which are anxious to play the game at
the armory would willingly accept the
conditions with the exception of para
graphs l and 3. Even with the latter,
it would be easy to comply, but there is
likelihood that some games would
continue until after II O'Clock.
The first condition is, however, a
sticker. The companies do not wish to
engage in basket ball solely for the fun
and exercise of the sport, but to add to
their treasures. The game last year
resulted in liberal additions, and was
the chief argument for the popularity
of the game. A way. however, can be
found to get about this rule, and that
will be by admission ticket, the same as
at a social. The strouble would be that
many would wish to witness the game,
who had not previously bought a ticket
To accommodate these, two or three
portable ticket offices could be set up in
the vicinity of the armory.

4 good story is going the rounds at
Capt. Holden's expense, and when he
hears it, cold shivers run down ms
spine. The captain had business IN
New York early in the week, and Tues-
day night hustled for the depot TO eaten
fhe New York train. 1t was pulling out
of the depot as he reached Washington
SQUARE. and he succeeded ir catching
the first car as it went across Grafton
street. He supposed he had caught
baggage car, but instead it was an eX-
press ear, and when he tried TO enter,
he found the door locked. The captain
was obliged to ride on the platform un-
til Palmer was reached, when the first
stop was made. He Immediately sought
the porter and got into warm berth.
He arrived at his destination before ne
became thoroughly thawed.
Lieut. H. w. Haynes of Battery re-
ceiyed a verbal order from Paymaster
II. b. Clamp last week, to report how
soon his command could leave the city
for service. The order also called for
a statement for forwarding. Lieut..
Haynes passed Thursday and Friday
making arrangements with merchants
for rations for horses and men, and
Saturday sent his report which in sub
stance is as follows: Battery B can
leave the city in three hours after re-
ceipt of notice, armed and rattoned for
two DAYS. Arrangements were made
with Houghton & Whittemote to get,
at any time of day or night, "a quarts
Of oats for each Of 50 horses, besides a
quantity of hay. With e. T. Smith &
Co arrangements were made for meat
coffee and sugar for SO men. Each man
is allowed 1 pound of meat, 8 ounces of
coffee and 4 ounces of sugar day. This
supply can be got at any time during
the "a hours From the Rogers, Young
Co. 144 pounds Of hardtack were pur-
chased and placed in a package and can
be got at any time.
Lieut.. Haynes further arranged with
Agent G. b Ager of the Boston & AL
bany Railroad for a train and can get
one from l IL to 2 hours after request.
This, too, can be got at any time of day
or night, and will be personally super
intended by Agent Ager. In making
these arrangements, Lieut.. Haynes mo-
ted many things the command is lack
ing and would need in case of service.
Among these are no saddles for caisson
corporals; no knapsacks for men to
carry a change of clothing, and in case
of possessing knapsacks, no baggage
wagon TO carry them There are no
fuse blocks, cutters and wrenches, all
