department. Each foreman in this
department makes daily returns to the
deputy, designating where each man
mas worked and the number of hours
employed. Mr. Prior drove about the
city with Deputy Atwood and was inn
pressed with new rail which Superin-
tendent Wells requires the street rail-
road to lay in the heart of the city. This
is the groove rail and is a great i'm
provement over the girder rail. The
outlying sections are laid with the gir-
der rail as the gravel would get in the
groove and prove an annoyance.
Deputy Atwood has the streets swept
at night, and has the refuse cleaned up
before 8 o'clock in the morning. Sixty
push-carts are employed during the day
in keeping the streets clear of dirt. All
refuse is carried to a dumping scow
which carries the stuff out to sea The
department is provided with shops and
manufactures its own harnesses, does
all its own repSiring and painting. In
the opinion Of Commissioner Prior, Bos-
ton is far in advance of Worcester in
everything pertaining to the manage
ment of the streets. except street
sprinkling. An effort is being made to
get the tram car sprinkler in Boston,
but as yet satisfactory arrangements
cannot be made with the street rail-
road.
Mr. Prior will visit one or two other
cities where there are up-to-date sys-
TENS, in short time, and hopes to learn
enough to place Worcesters system on
par with any.

SPECIAL MEETING FRIDAY,
City Council to Be Called Together to Act
on Grade Crossing and Salaries.

on Grade Crossing and Salaries.
The failure of the two branches of the
city council at the last meeting to agree
upon date of adjournment, and the
fact that the lower branch adjourned
for two weeks, will necessitate the call
ing of special session of both branches
The call will be issued by Mayor Dodge
this morning, and the meeting will be
held Friday evening. Primarily the
meeting will be called to take action on
the grade crossing matter 1t is the opin-
ion of the special commission which has
the matter under consideration that an
appeal must be made promptly to the
legislature for an extension of the five
years respite which was granted the
city in April. 1898. 1t is manifestly i'm
possible to reach AN agreement between
the city and the railroads before April.
and it is important, If the city wants
further time, that the application should
reach the legislature before the time ex-
pires for the reception of new business.
The railroads are powerful in the legis-
lature, and if the city's petition should
be late this influence might be potent
enough to prevent the necessary sus-
pension of the rules to admit TIE new
business.
1t is important, too. that the two
branches of the city council should dis
pose of the salary bill, without unneces-
sary delay, as the mayor must know its
total before he can make up his draft
of the annual appropriation bill, which
he hopes to be able to put in at the
next regular meeting of the council. AT
the meeting of the city council, Monday
evening, the aldermen passed the salary
bill as it came from the finance commit
fec h1t the council nut il over to the
next meeting ON an objection by mem
Der of the minority to its second reading.
AS was explained in the Spy yesterday,
there will be opposition to some of the
items in the bill, when it is taken up
for consideration in the common coun-
ell and it may be that conference
committee will be necessary before II is
| finally agreed upon by both branches
IT looks. therefore as If the special
meeting of the city council Friday even
ing might be an important and possibly
protracted one.

paration, to express a feeling of
grateful acknow ledgnent that we
Americans as well as you gentlemen
and ladies of Scotch descent, can unite
together in expressing admiration for
the great poet whose memory belongs
to the world, All of us remember days
in early spring when sunlight and shad-
ow, wind and storm, followed one an
other in rapid succession. They go to
show us that the peacefulness of May
with its flowers, is coming. SO it is
that from a life of turmoil and unhap-
piness, brief almost as an April day has
bloomed forth beautiful flowers of verse
that have blessed the world. For all
time they will make the life of the COM
mon people glow like jewels in g.
crown. The charm of Burns, l think,
Is that of absolute simplicity and sin
cerity. Whether he is giving vehement
outbursts against a hypocritical piet-
ism, singing to q simple maiden or
ranting in the jolly life of the beggar.
we always find in him the simple heart
felt sincerity. He has done what 9TH
ers have often tried to do and failed

pride, as | again look into the faces
of those of you who have from year to
year gathered together to do honor to
the memory of Scotia's bard.
THE intellect, the character, the men
and women who are making Worcester
the grand city that she is, are here to-
night to assist in rendering homage to
one whose fame has long since burst
the bounds of Scotlands shore, and
who is now throughout Christendom
honored and revered as humanity s
greatest poet, Robert Burns.
Two years ago in this room, we lis
tened to the eloquence of that distin-
guished and lamented statesman, the
late governor, Frederic 7. Greenhalge.
How appropriate that one of his last, if
not the last public address OF his ca

Of the poet he loved SO we'll
One Neai ago tcnlght, as you may all
remember, we were hon0red by the
presence of that giant in intellect and
industry, that Scotchman of great
heart, Andrew Carnegie. He came, he
saw, he spoke to us, he took us by the
hand, he conquered.
Owing to recent bereavement in the
family, we are tonight deprived of the
companionship of the gentleman who
last year presided 50 ably as toastmas-
ter. Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Moen have
always rendered us a cheerful assist
ance in making our celebrations sue
cessful, and we regret their enforced
absence tonight"
He then introduced Miss Jenny Corea
of Boston, who sang, Whistle and I'll
come to YOU" with much sweetness.
''The commonwealth of Massachu-
sets has furnished the nation with
some of her greatest statesmen" said
the POSTMASTER. Our own beloved
Worcester has given one of sterling
qualities and great ability. The stand
ard and character of our public men
cannot suffer while George f. Hoar and
Roger Wolcott are the examples for
them to emulate. Our present chief
magistrate holds a unique place in the
affections of the people Brave, cour-
ageous, loyal to duty, thoughtful, hon

1t is possible that City Solicitor Riggs
opinion to the effect that no member
of the city council may legally be con-
cerned in any contract to which the city
is a party, will lead to one or more res

quoted as saying that if the strict let

resign from the board. He is a mem
Der of the firm of Garland, Lincoln &
Co., which sells considerable grain to
the city. he has two partners, and in
justice to them, he does not feel that he

says the firm sells no more to
the city than it did before he went into

derman Hildreth lets hacks to the city
on occasion, and is also likely to retire
from the board if he is to be deprived
of the city business. Both aldermen
will talk the matter over with the
mayor before taking action
Mayor Dodge has not yet read the
solicitors opinion carefully, and is not
prepared to express an opinion as to its
scope. To layman, the opinion is
plain enough; 1t is simply question
as to whether the city and it's city coun-
cilmen will live UP to the letter of the
law, or whether they will ig-
more it as they have done in
the past. 1t all lies with them.
OF course any taxpayer could make
complaint under the law and have the
offending city councilman summoned
into court, for the statute is penal Nc

WORCESTER,

cradle freight steamer T1llie was well
known at this port. Up to three years
ago she was used as Central Vermont
Railroad Company freighter plying be-
tween New London and New York.
Among shipping men here she. was con-
sidered as extremely unseaworthy.
The news of the loss of the TITLE off
Barnegat is considered as substantial
proof that the mysterious two-masted
steamer whose antics Off Montauk Point,
Saturday, caused so much excitement was
none other than the Tflie. On Saturday
two tugs Of the Staples Coal Company ar
rived in New London. One of the tugs re-
ported that Saturday he sighted a two
masted steamer lying to under Montauk
Point, and that her position and move
ments excited his curiosity. AT the same
time he saw the steam lighter Columbia
steaming toward New London. Earlier
in the day the Columbia arrived here. and
her captain said his vessel had carried
cases of machinery to Providence. On
Sunday the Columbia took aboard 10000
gallons of water, and at noon steamed
away, her destination being unknown.
