Alderman George F. Wall died, at
his home, 277 Pleasant street, about 9
o'clock last night.
Mr. Wall has been sick little more
than a week, suffering with what was
considered a mild attack of Appendix
citis Sunday his condition changed
for the worse, until it became an
parent that an operation was newt
able. Drs. Trowbridge and Farnum
operated at noon yesterday, but Mr..
Wall failed to rally, remaining in a
Isemi-conscious state until the hour of
his death.
A week ago Saturday he went to
Falmouth to make arrangements for a
vacation later in the season. Before
leaving home he complained of feeling
badly and demurred about taking the
trip, but finally decided that he would
feel better at the seashore. He ar
rived in Falmouth Saturday afternoon
put Ielt so badly that he started for
nome the next day. He was unable TO
make connections in time to catch a
train for Worcester over the Boston
ana Albany, but was determined to get
nome as soon as possible and took a
train as far as Northboro, making the
remainder of the trip on the electric
road.
A physician was summoned soon AFT
ter his arrival home and the case di-
agnosed as appendicitis. The follow
ing wednesday his symptoms were
more favorable, and it was thought
danger was past. Sunday he grew
worse, however, and complained of a
depressed feeling and grew steadily
worse until 1t was realizd that an
operation must be performed.

| Henri Rochefort, the fiery Partisan
editor, fairly boils over with bitterness
toward Dreyfus and all who have stood
by him. Through the columns of a
New York newspaper he finds a medi-
UNI for branding the latter as traitors
and enemies of the truth. The proceed
| ings at Rennes, he declares, mark the
opening of Frances trial for life, and
had Dreyfus been shot in 1894, the
country would have been spared the
humiliation. Rochefort refuses to be
impressed with the belief in Dreyfus
innocence, and refers to him as the
Benedict Arnold of France. His state
ment that Frances life is on trial is
not such an exaggeration as it might
be. The world certainly regards France
as the criminal in this case, rather
than Dreyfus, inasmuch as the in
nocence of the latter involves the guilt
OF seven ministers of war and a large
number of the highest officials in the
army, who, if Dreyfus is innocent, must
have been guilty of one of the most
atrocious conspiracies ever planned
against an individual. This they bols-
tered up by forgery, perjury and muir

knows where the rottenness ends. If
Rochefort is not right in his assertion
that France is on trial for her life, he
ought to be.

Inc last 20 years have been trying
ones for horses. They have brought a
succession of terrors for skittish
equines and timid drivers. First there
came the bicycle which suddenly fitted
ny the horse like a shadow, and sent
him into the ditch with a bound. Or
perhaps the animal saw it approaching.
The driver then had an anxious half
minute in trying to prevent it from
turning around in it's tracks or going
over the stone wall. In a few years.
| however, horses became so accustomed
to the sight of bicycles that they paid
no attention to them whatever. Then
| came the electric car with it buzzlng
and laundering, and the circus perfor-
rnances which horses learned in the
! days of the bicycle were increased ten
| fold. The roadways for a few years
We're strewn with wrecks of all kinds
of vehicles and horses were galloping
| over the country with pieces of har-
ness waving like streamers. In time
| the horse laid aside his fear of the troll
| ley car, and gave it no more thought
than the bicycle. Then owners of
horses felt that driving would be a
| pleasure once more, and secuted the
idea of new terrors to rank with the
| bicycle and electric car. But along
comes the automobile and horse flesh
is rampant once more. Drivers are
thrown into tree tops, vehicles reduced
to kindling wood and horses run into
the next county. Even unbelevers arc
forced to admit that the scriptures
gave stright tip to all mankind IN
the text, Put not your trust in a
horse"

SPEED OF TROLLEY CARS.

The investigation Of the terrible troll
ley accident near Bridgeport, last
Sunday, brings out the fact that the
car was moving at high speed, and this,
combined with other features peculiar
to trolley cars and tracks, is supposed
to have caused the tragedy The cleo
trio line is still in its early stages of
development. 1t was natural, of
course, that it should go through a pc
Rod of evolution from the old horse car
up to the ideal trolley. But it is a
question if the steam railway car
should not have been modified for use
on electric lines instead of the horse
car developed In the end, the trolley
car must be a close approximation to
the former, as the trolley lines extend
out over longer stretches Of country.
and increased speed becomes necessary.
So long as the trolley was confined to
the streets of the city, with frequent
stops and slow speed, simply replacing
the old horse car, it's construction on
the lines of the old horse car was prob
ably well enough. But the trolley field
has developed until it completes with
the steam railways in transporting
passengers long distances, in carrying
freight, express and the mails.
But while this has been going on, and
the speed of the cars has been of ne
cessity increased to meet the new re-
quirements, the construction of cars
and of tracks has apparently not kept
pace. New elements of danger have
been introduced by new conditions.
The trucks of the trolley in the Con
necticut accident, like those on the car
which went off the MCGOWAN bridge at
Mlllbury last winter, were at some dis
lance from the ends of the car so that
rocking motion was developed with
the high speed which the car had at
tanned when it reached the bridge.
This made derailment easy if it did not
actually produce it, and the terrible
loss of life followed.
The public, Mortified at the spectacle.
and informed that the car was pro-
ceeding at a high rate of speed for a
street railway line, Immediately de-
cries quick transportation and demands
that the speed of trolley cars be limited
to eight or ten miles an hour. But
does the public want anything of the
kind after the first effects of the horror
have passed? Will it not demand quick
transportation Just the same, and will
1t be satisfied with anything else
Slow-going trolleys on long lines
through 1.-THE country will not suit the
public at all. What people actually
want is more rapid transportation over
the electric lines and greater safety. In
stead Of cutting down the speed to the
tracks and cars, the tracks and cars
must be built UP to the speed. The
public will stand evolution in the d.
rection Of the steam railroad, but It
VIII not consent to have the trolley car
put back toward the horse car The
American people must be transported
swiftly. whether they are out for
pleasure or are on business. There an
pears to be no good reason why electric
cars and tracks cannot be so con-
structed as to make them as safe for a
high rate Of speed on such lines as the
tracks and cars on the great trunk
steam Lines.
