town are concerned about the reloca-
ton of the Massachusetts Central rail-
road tracks. The building of the big
reservoir for the Boston water supply
makes it necessary that sooner or la
ter the tracks Of the Central shall be
shifted. The Worcester board of trade
wants change that will bring the road
nearer to Worcester.
Clinton wants the road to come near
the railroad station. How much can be
accomplished by the committee APP
pointed by the citizens in town meet
ing the other night, is a question. Much
is hoped from their efforts.
Warren Goodale, president of the
Business Mems association, who with
the secretary and treasurer of the as
ISOLATION, is the committee, has been
interested in the problem for some time.
With Charles Frazer he once paid a
visit to Lucius futile, president of the
Boston and Maine, and was pleasantly
greeted by Mr.. futile.
The Boston and Maine people were
not then in a position to say what
would be done, because they did not
know themselves. The situation is
hardly different at this time The gen
located here it will be upon the prin-
ciple that the company is going to do
what is best for the company
A possible evil exists in agitating the
matter, however, as a member of the
association pointed out this afternoon
in that a too great anxiety on the
towns part to get the relocation, may
induce the road to ask large conces-
sions that it would not otherwise think
Of wanting
The nearest station is in South Clin-
ton When that station is abandoned,
as it soon must be, the station at Ber-
lin will be almost as near Nearer, con-
sidering that the trolley cars of the
Clinton and Hudson Street railway will
run there, and that the fare is less than
the fare by stage to the South Clinton
station. OF course it would make the
town more desirable as a manufacture
ing centre, if the railroad came into the
centre.

William O'Malley was the principal
prisoner in the district court this morn
ing, and sad sight. He is a gray
haired old man, with a meekness of
manner almost pitiful. Yet he is the
same who, 20 years ago, after a quar-
rel with friend, went away, came
back with pistol and killed him. He
was arrested last night by officer Geo.
Burk for threatening his wife and
grandchildren. She told Judge Stone
that the prisoner never worked.
OMalley said in subdued way that
he was too old to work, but that he was
willing enough He was sentenced to
two months in the house of correction.
The police say that his conscience preys
upon his mind and that he is not quite
himself
