Union Railroad Company fscsVing The Last Of
Consnrmsni For Ryerponi Route

The last consignment of vestibule
street cars for service on the River
point line is being received by the
Union Street Railway Co. and i'm about
another fortnight will be running from
Turks Head TO the Riverpoint every
forty minutes. These cars are hand
some vehicles with seating capacity of
SO passengers. They are built by the
Newburyport Car Manufacturing Com
pany upon lines similar TO those of the
cars running from Market square to
Taunton and Brockton.
The Riverpoint cars, however, do not
contain the smoking compartment. The
body alone of the new car weigh tons
and IL required horses and very
heavy truck to transfer the latest ar
rival from the railroad freight station
to the equipping shops on Thurbers
avenue. The cars will be fitted at once
with trucks and motors and the entire
eight made ready for practical use.

There was another meeting OF the

sented on Wednesday. directing the
city clerk TO issue commissions TO the
commissioners appointed by the reso-
luton, which rests under a supposed
veto by the mayor.
There was another lively scrap"
during which the city solicitor stated
that this order was entirely unneces-

MCARR0N DEAD.
he Was The Insane Barber Who Cut the Throat Of
lanes C[oshI In 1896.

Patrick "a. McCarron. an insane bar
Der, who cut the throat of James Cros-
by, August is, 1856. is dead at the state
lunatic asylum. McCarron, when a
working barber. was occasionally seized
with fits or insanity. and it was during
one OF these attacks that he killed his
customer.
Crosby knew McCarron well. He kept
grocery store on Atwelrs avenue next
TO the little barber shop run by McCar-
ron. Crosh0s0 other customers were
in the habit of allowing McCarron TO
shave them, irrespective of the fact
that they knew he at times was dan
gerous. They joked about the barber
and called him srazy, and ii was COM
mon expression that they would go i'm
and get their last shave" On the day of
the tragedy Crosby was almost shaved
when McCarron cut his customers
throat from ear TO ear. Crosby died i'm
the chair in which he sat.
McCarron was arrested and held for
murder. but jury declared him a ma
Mac. and he has been in the asylum
for IL years. The tragedy was one OF the
most shocking in the annals of the To-
cal police.
McCarron's mania came about
through a kick I'm the head from n
horse in 1875. when he was a boy of IL
years. He died I'm the asylum hospital
from tuberculosis, which he contracted
at the institution.
McCarron had always been carefully
looked after by his family during the
time he was under restraint and was
made as comfortable as he could ever
be. His mind was always a blank on
the period of the homocide, and il was
"a mercy to him. for he was saved the
mental torture of regret.
