lieve they hold the record for the pro-
duction of a quick paying trolley road
property. The line has been in exist
ence but ten months, and was opened
in winter, under disadvantageous cir
cumstances, yet the board of directors
at their meeting Monday evening, de-
clared dividend of 21z per cent upon
all stock recorded Oct. last
Treasurer Walter R. Dame was busy
today sending checks to the holders.
The dividends will be we'll distributed,
because the stock is largely in the
hands OF small holders. There are sew
eral persons who hold large blocks OF
it, however.
The capital stock of the company is
$3.50 900, which makes the total amount
to be disbursed in the neighborhood of
$3.50. The dividend amounts to about
10 per cent of the gross receipts. The
directors expect that business for the
succeeding year will be greater. Per-
sons have become accustomed to using
the road Moreover, the Clinton and
Hudson trolley line soon to be opened,
is a fee Ter that can be depended upon
to bring additional traffic
Miss Nellie Heagney gave Hallow-
cen party to her friends at her home
on Franklin street, last evening.
Among those present were Misses Min
ME Grady, Sara Scanlon, Mamie Mo
ran, Mamie Lavelle, Sadie Grady Nora
Cunningham, Kittie Connolly and
Charles Forest, Willie O'Day and Leon
Colver of Worcester.
The republicans have arranged a
smoke talk for Northboro, to be held
before the end of the week. The in
terests of Thomas S. Davis and Fred
H. Bates will be presented.
The salectmen held a special meeting
this evening to name election officers.
Lists have been handed in by the demo-
cratic and republican town committee,
by request of the selectmen. The repub-
lican list was prepared at a meeting of
the republican town committee held
last week The democratic list was made
up last night. David l. Walsh was
present at the meeting. He informed
the committee that he should not avail
himself of it's services as committee.
because none of the candidates for rep
resentative in recent times had done
so. He said that he would be pleased
to receive all the help the members can
give him as individuals.
The social democrats who were dis
appointed in their speaker, Winfield P
Porter, who is the party's candidate
for governor, are trying to arrange
date for another rally, when he will
be present 1t Is believed an alliance
will be effected between the social
democrats and the De Leonite wing of
the social labor party, which FREEDOM
mates here. John P. Mcdonald is the
head of this wing. He was present at
the last rally held by the social demo-
Gratis, and spoke to those present, while
William H. Killingbeck presided, and
the candidate for representative, Rob-
ert Lawrence, sat on the same platform
Under the strict rules maintained by
Mrs. Martha Moore Avery, and the
regulars, this would not be permitted
1t is likely that no banquet of the
Clinton Business Mems association will
take place this month, as was intended
1t is likely that the affair will go over
to December 4, when Hon. w. NJ Dav-
export will be present Mr.. Davenport
is secretary of the metropolitan water
board and a very able man. The fact
that he has been invited to be the guest
of honor, on this occasion, however, is
causing adverse comment.
Road Commissioner David H. May
nard has increased the difficulties that
beset the feet of candidates for repre-
sentatives. He wants each candidate
to declare his position on the general
electric law Of $685. which, he says,
gives the companies practically full
control Of the streets, makes the towns
pay for keeping the whole steret in
repair, for accidents on account of
the tracks, and for snow plowed off
from the tracks.
He says that the so-called excise
tax amounts to little compared with
the expenses imposed. He thinks
the candidates should be in favor of
the repeal of the law. Mr.. Maynard is
particularly to Candidate Thomas S.
Davis, who is clerk for the Worcester
and Clinton Trolley road.
The remains Of Anthony Kittredge
who died in St. Lukes hospital, New
York. were brought to Clinton tonight
on the 5.41 train, and taken to the
home of his father, Michael Kittridge.
The remains were in charge of UNDER
taker Martin Murphy, and accompan-
led by Malachi Kittridge, a brother of
the dead man. The funeral will take
place Friday morning at st. Johns
church
Patrick H. Fadgen does not think
that he will succeed in getting on an
other match this season. He has been
in correspondence with runners in sew
eral sections of the state, but the con
ditions are usually such as he can
not accept. He is willing to run Marsh |
of Worcester now, if he can get a han
dicap of two yards or even in the
spring, for $3.50 yard.
