CONN ECTED
The Rival Telephone
Company.
OF MONEY.
Boston Men Interested in
the Peoples Project.

There will be a meeting of the Peo-
pies Telephone & Telegraph Company
early this week, for the purpose OF
permanent organization. At this time
there will be several changes in the
board of directors; several of those
elected at the meeting for temporary
organization will have rendered their
designations, and their places taken
by Boston men who are interested in
the matter of telephone opposition.
Among the out-of-town men who may
figure in the board are Charles F.
Adams, Frank A. Cutting, Arthur s.
Temple, Cakes Ames, z. 8. Holbrook
of Boston and F. w. Breed of Lynn.
AS was stated exclusively in The
Spy yesterday, Boston men have Of
fered to capitalize the company; the
right being reserved however, for
Worcester men to purchase such stock
as they see fit. Whether the original
capitalization of the company-$150, 00O
will be sufficient for the attending
expense of installing an exchange in
this city or not, remains to be deter
mined.
However this may be, 7. L. Currier,
who is at the head of the Peoples
company in this CITY, says the men who
are backing the company will furnish
such money as is required for the ven
ture. Until the city government arrives
at some decision, 1t will be impossible
to estimate what the cost will amount
to.
The petition of the Peoples company
for locations for it's lines in the streets
Of Worcester was referred to the COM
INIT Oh yx,l,i No
has been made as yet, the promoters
Of the telephone company anticipate
that report and date for a hearing
will be forthcoming in the near future,
possibly at the meeting Of the city
government tomorrow evening.
While the Peoples Company is dis
tinct from the Boston and New York
Company on the start, men with large
holdings in the latter company will hold
controlling interest in the local COM
pany, much as the American Bell Com
pany holds large percentage of stock
of the smaller telephone companies in
various parts of the country.
The Boston and New York Company
has applied for charters to build eX-
changes in most of the principal cities
of New England, and it is safe to as
sumo that the outcome of the scheme
will be the eventual consolidation OF
these smaller exchanges in one large
company, which would constitute the
nucleus of a formidable rival to the
old-line companies.
Mr.. Currier has been anticipating e
trip through the south this winter, bu
the turn affairs has taken, has per
suaded him to forego the pleasure, t.
look after the interests of the proposed
company.
Until the city government makes
known its decision on the matter
granting the new company locations il
the streets of Worcester very little car
be said or done regarding the move
ments Of the company, but with thi
decision, it will be definitely known jus
what will be necessary so far as fig
uring on the expense attending the in
stallation of an exchange.

MILITARY.
Inspection OF First
Brigade Ordered.
--------
JUNE ENCAMP MENT
Will it Be Omitted This
Year?

Local military companies are fast get
ting into excellent shape and it is safe
to predict, say the officers, that the
different commands will be in nearly
as good trim in a few weeks as they
were previous to last May.
Orders for an inspection of the first
brigade have been issued by Adjt. Gen.
Dalton and it is Thought that it will
occur during the month of March.
The companies are somewhat handi-
capped by having several raw recruits
in their ranks, but this difficulty is
being overcome by the captains who
have their sergeants drill these recruits
at every opportunity.
There is considerable speculation re-
garding encampment at birmingham.
In the opinion of many officers the
adjutant general will not call out any
of the companies this summer Othefs
believe that the First brigade Will go
into camp in June as usual, and that
the fact that other state regiments are
stiu in the volunteer service and can
not go into camp will not make any diff
ference with the plans of the Second
and Ninth regiments.
The officers think that their men need
a weeks service in the field more this
year than they ever needed it before.
There is every reason to believe that
a monument to Worcester's dead sol
diers will soon grace the triangular
plot of ground in front of the state
armory. The suggestion was first Of
fered by The Spy that the plot was
the most suitable place for such mon
ument. and since that time the officers
and men of the four local volunteer
companies have talked the matter over
thoroughly and a fund will be started
at once. The first move will probably
be to give q suitable entertainment in
a local theatre. Capts. Barrett, Rider,
Allen, Holden and Moynihan, who are
the representatives Of the companies
interests, are heartily in favor of me-
mortal to the dead men who so will
ingly gave up everything that was dear
tc them to answer the presidents call.
Forty-nine Worcester men, as far as
known, lost their lives during the strug-
gle. Many of them died from the pri-
Nations and suffering endured in Cuba.
after they reached their homes but
they died as soldiers and deserve some
substantial token of recognition. Is the
outspoken opinion of all classes of citi-
zens.
The city government of Worcester
has never been asked to officially rec
ognize the good work done by Worces-
ter men during the Cuban campaign,
but 1t Is thought that the council wouId
