NEW STATION NEEDED.
Sad Lack Of Express Facil-
tiles at Quin-
sigamond.
Slganlond

Quinsigamond people have long felt a
need for an express delivery in their
village.
The discomfort oecasioned by the
lack of it is keenly felt by many of the
prominent citizens, and some definite
action on the matter is contemplated in
the near future. Under the present sys-
tenn when an express package for a
QuinsigAmond resident arrives at any
of the local offices, the recipient is noti-
fed of the fact by postal card, the vii
lage being outside the limits of delivery
If the parcel is not called for within a
certain number Of days, the owner be-
comes subject to a charge for storage.
The inconvenience Of this method is ap-
parent.
Richard H. Mooney, principal of the
Quinsigamond school, gentleman
identified with all measures looking to-
ward village Improvement, said to 1.-The
Spy reporter: THE question of express
facilities in Quinsigamond has been dis
cussed for a long time. Considering the
rapid growth of the suburbs of Worces-
ter, it seems rather den9orahzing that
the various industries which contribute
to their progress do not feel called upon
to afford convenierces for the rapid
transaction of business. AS far as
can find, the express offices of Worces-
ter are doing business on the old plan
which pFeVGils in country townS-of
drawing a line more or Il SIS remote from
a so-called centre, end refusing either
to accept or to deliver goods beyond
that limit. In this connection there have
also been some suggestions concerning
the establishment Of a station on the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad. The road stops at many places
down the valley much smaller than
Quinsigamond. No valid reason exists
why the road should rot erect a station.
A movement will be presently inaugu-
rated looking to that end"
The railway station project referred
to came up about two years ago, when
Frank D. Perry offered the road come
land for the purpose. No deal could be
effected, and the matter was dropped.
Rev. Mr.. Engstrand of the Lutheran
church stated that a passenger station
in the village had become a necessity,
and related q number of instances when
delays en- the street cars had caused
trains to- be missed.
Rev. Mr.. Whyman of the Methodist
church expressed the opinion that both
q station and an express delivery would
be of vast advantage to the people of
the village.
The storekeepers are especially con-
cerned in the establishment Of sta
ton since they are compelled to go to
Union station for all their goods from
out of town. F. 0. Dahlquist w. Fors
berg and others We're interviewed and
all agreed in hoping that something
might soon be done to relieve this en-
barrassment.
1t is believed that the two matters
will be agitated by the Improvement
society, this fall, and that active steps
will be taken towards securing both
these convenience at the earliest prac-
ticable date.

MRS. MALLoRVs WORK..
Aiding New England ConsumptIves
in the South.

Mrs M. f. Malloy is devoting great
funds for New England home for
consumptives in Ashevflle, N. c. Rec
tor McNeely Dubose of Trinity church
of that place says Of her: 1T is with
pleasure that 1 give my fullest support
and approval to Mrs. Mallory's plan
of raising funds to erect a Home for
consumptives in Ashewille. No one
knows better than l have learned in my
nine years experience in Asheville how
many poor young men and women
come here every year, i'll as they can
be, and with little or no money to pro-
vide the food and medicines they need
have sent several such to Mrs. NAL
lory's Home, and they found her from
my own knowledge and from many let
ters from those who have stayed with
her, to be person with a great pur-
pose for this most difficult work, and
in every way capable OF carrying it on
in the most satisfactory way. The
young men who have stayed with her
look to her, and in many cases have
come to call her mother, and their
many letters after leaving Asheyille
prove how she has gained both their
affection and their gratitude. There is
no more necessary work anywhere than
the erection in Asheville Of a wen-man-
aged, cheap home for northern inva-
lids. They come here every year BY
the hundreds, and they cannot afford
the cost of the hotels OF larger santa
RUINS, and boarding houses are now
refusing to take the very sick. Where,
then, Shall the poor sick go?'
The Springfield Republican says of
her: Mrs M. F. Mallory, who went
from this city to Asheville, N. c., three
years ago, has returned to spend three
months in New England in behalf of a
work which she has undertaken in that
region, where so many eonsumptives
are sent in search Of health. Already
the people there are overburdened
with the cases of consumptives without
financial resources Mrs. Mallory has
been caring for many such during the
past three years, but is unable alone
to do what ought to be done. She is
therefore seeking contributions to aid
in field where her own services are
freely given"

ITALIAN WEDDING.

Italy Yesterday.

Franchise Cheicoro, a 16-year-old
daughter of sunny Italy, was yesterday
given in marriage to Antonipe Donzeli,
a sturdy young man of q years of age,
and childhood friend of the bride The
wedding, performed by Rev. Joseph
Brouillet, differed in no way from the
many ceremonies performed daily at
Notre Dame church, but the after festi-
vitieS at the home of the brides par
ents, at % Cross street, down in the
only district in this city which re-
sUmbles the land of their birth, were
distinotively characteristic of the moth
or country.
The wedding ceremony took place A I
3 O'Clock in the afternoon. The bride
was led up the central isle Of the Notre
Dame church by he groomsman, Jo-
tresses were worn in a long braid down
her back The groom led the way
down the isle, and was accompanied
by the bridesmaid, Miss Jennie Den
uila.
After the ceremony, the bridal party
proceeded tc the home of the brides
parents, at 25 Cross street. where the
nuptials were celebrated in the old-fash-
Toned Italian style. When the bridal

candy and fruit. The usual custom III
this country is to throw rice at a newly
married couple. No so with the Itals
ians, however, for they throw nuts,
fruits, grapes and candy at the bridal
party. The candy is hard, and one
pic struck the groom squarely in the
eye, and 1t carries a mourning color |
now. He took the matter in good part.

way. Once inside the parental home,

Two duSl1y Siciljan damsels, the Miss

entered into with a will. The house
becoming toe warm for such festivities,
the entire party adjourned to the yard,
where Signor Jesse Crosse and wife
played on o hurdygurdy for the native
dance, which was participated in by all
the guests. The woman played on a
double tanlbourine, while her husband
ground out dulcet notes on the street
piano, and the merry feet Of the dancers
kept time to the music.
The festivities continued till 10 o'clock. |
when they terminated with a general
handshaking, and the departing friends
crowded about to extend their congrat- |
ulations to the happy couple. Mr.. and

FUND IS GROWING.
Interest in Maintenance of
St. Gabriers Or
phanage.

The work of raising the necessary
funds for the continuance of the labors
of the Sisters of Mercy in their con-
duct of st. Gabriers orphanage on High
street is progressing finely.
Yesterday over 100 of those interested
in the project of furnishing aid for the
orphanage assembled in st. Paurs hall,
on High street, and held an enthusiast
tic meeting
The meeting was presided over by
Patrick O'Day, chairman of the COM
mlttee of arrangements, and the secre-
tary read communication from Man
ager Frank ]. Leonard of the Worces-
ter Bail Club, which had inclosed a
check for the amount of $50. The COM
mittee expressed themselves deeply
gratiied upon the receipt of such a
substantial amount, and those present
testified their appreciation by applaud
ing the announcement The check is
the receipts of the base ball game when
the local team played Hartford last
Thursday. The receipts did not
exceed s25, but Manager Leon
ard voluntarily gave the orphanage SIS
more. Other gifts were received by
the sisters, but they will not be ac-
knowledged just at this time
The committee on the fair to be held

night He has seen Capt. Jeremiah j.
Moynihan of the Emmett Guards, and
received his consent to having that
company give an exhibition drill on
the last evening of the fair. Other at
fractions are being arranged for. Capt.
Moynihan said that he would bring the
matter up for consideration at the next
meeting of the Emmet Guards, at the
armory, tonight and assured the COM
mitttee that the company would turn
out to aid the orphanage. AS the EN-
met Guards are the crack company of
the Ninth regiment of the state
militia, and are all veterans of the late
war they will give a first-class exhibit
tion
Several voting contests are to be ar
