AN OBJECT LESSON.
MIbury Horror Brings TO Mind a Dan
gerous Bridge.


Grafton, March 16.-The fatal acct
dent on the Millbury division of the
Suburban road at MCGOWAN bridge,
Millbury, last evening, which resulted
in the death of three electric. railroad
men, was the principal topic of con-
versation on Grafton streets today. The
reason Grafton residents were inter-
ested in the affair more than usual is
because they believe they have a men,
ace near their own door which has often
been commented upon as dangerous.
1t is where the Consolidated extern
sion crosses the Quinsigamond river
at Wheeler bridge, between North
Grafton and Grafton, and it was today
declared by many as absolutely un-
safe" At this point in the road, the
track turns sharply to cross the river
and then turns just as sharply after
crossing the stream.
This makes a sharp curve as the car
approaches from either side. There
are no guard rails at this place, and
wheel flanges. the liability of a car
jumping into the river bed is greatly
increased. This danger is made none
the less by the fact that the curve is
at the foot Of Dolliver hill, and a car
going down the grade would stand no
possible chance of keeping the rails If
the motorman lost control Of the car
on account of icy rails.
The bridge in North Grafton at which
there is only a curve on one side. is
much better built and safer in every
way, yet the danger on account Of the
lay of the road is much less

Trotting. Park Man
agement Of Marlboro.
LEAVING THE CITY.


Marlboro, March 16.-T. f, Keller,
who had charge of the Marlboro trot-
ting park the past season, returned to
town this evening after a couple Of
months sojourn at Brewster on the
cape. Mr. Keller says thar his con-
tract with the Marlboro park corpora
zion expires May j..
After that dalc he will sever his con-
necrion with the concern.
He desires TO give up the care Of the
park in order that he may attend the
different circuit races the coming sea
son. For that reason he wishes to re-
sign his position as manager Of the
park. The track, he asserts, is in fine
condition and should be the scene Of
some good racing in the future.
There appears to be no change in the
labor difficulty. The strikers continue
to leave town for situations elsewhere.
a conservative man who is we'll quaIi-
fed TO judge says there are 1900 Mari
boro shoe workers working in other
shoe centres. The lasters are reported
10 have placed an extra detail Of pick
cts on duty today.
A large number Of the people work
ing in the factories come from Spencer.
Lowell Maine and New Hampshire
The poorest help have been weeded out
Of the factories, and the manufac-
turers state tina, they are well satisfied
with the quality and quantity of work
being turned out.
The strikers assert that a large pro-
portion of the help are inexperienced
and in every way undesirable. They
say that they are just as firm as when
they first left the factories.
Business is good at the Marlboro
Electric Machine and Lamp Company's
factory This is not the busy season
for business Of this kind but still the
factory is turning out more goods than
is usually the case at this time Of the
year.
Despite the labor difficulty which
hangs over the city like q cloud Of
doom, the people Of Marlboro are
greatly excited over basket ball Al
classes here are interested in this sport
and nearly all Of the games are attend
ed by large crowds. reminding a per
ron Of the polo enthusiasm OF years
ago.
The bills are out for a game between
tho NJ. b. =. A. and Hudsons, which
IS announced to occur in the city hail
Saturday night. As this game would
practically decide the championship Of
the state league, much speculation is
INDUCED in over the outcome.
Some time ago Manager Fred Saw
yer of the Hudson team sent a letter
to Manager Fred II. Morse Of the NJ.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-03-17

+. b. A. saying that his directors had
decided TO postpone the game. The NJ.
3. B. A. people have time and again
announced that as far as they were
concerned there would be no postpone
ment and that the NJ. 3. b A would
De at the hall on the date scheduled.
Nothing has been heard officially from
the Hudson management, but the NJ
z. &. y. vii! be at the city hall Sat
urday night ready for the contest to
commence. Should the Hudsons re-
fuse to appear according 10 the rules
of the league, the game will be given
to the NJ. B. B. A, TO 0.
The Marlboro team does not desire
to win the championship in such a
shallow manner. Their playing, how
ever, has been such that they feel that
the honor will fall on worthy shoulders.
Marlboro and Hudson have ever been
rivals in sporting matters but there
has never been so much feeling exhib-
tied as a result Of such rivalry.
From all that can be learned the
Hudson team will be expelled by the
league should it fail to make its ap-
pearsnce in the city hall. The rules
provide for such action. and there
seems no reason to doubt that this
punishment will be inflicted on the
Hudsons should they fail 70 play &C
cording to schedule.

LOCAL YEAST COMBINE.

Spencer, March ia meeting of the
members of the Spencer Yeast Com
pany took place last evening at Lu-
Their Hills office, on Main street. for
the purpose of settling all plans look
ing toward Incorporation. Letters of
congratulation were received from the
Cambridge Corporated Bakeries and
read during the meeting. The yeast
has been tested by David Girouard. the
inventor, by different chemical pro
ceSses. and in every case has faithfully
stood the test. Mr.. Girouard claims
that If the yeast is kept from dampness
it will last forever.
The yeast combine has received offers
from all of the large yeast manuractur-
ers in the country. but will not have
any dealings with them until the arti-
Gle is placed upon the market.
One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars has been raised for the purpose
OF manufacturing the yeast, which is
expected to take place about the first
of April. To supply the orders that
are coming In, it would require 500
pounds of yeast to be delivered daily,
When the question of where the es-
Enlistment for the manufacturing of
yeast would be, DR.. Fontaine urged the
gentleman to consider Spencer the
proper place; although not so conve-
nient as many other places, it would be
for the interests Of the town.
One great advantage to the country
arising from the yeast is that it could
be included in army supplies, enabling
the soldiers to carry it for months and
placing wholesome bread at their com
mand whenever they wished for it, in
stead of the ordinary bareback.
Mr.. Girrouard has given to his son A
receipt for the making of the yeast, so
that in case of an accident or death,
the people would be no losers.
The men interested in the yeast pres
ent at the meeting were Fred Aubrey

The Minnesota Loan and Trust Com-
pany of Minneapolis Were
the Buyers. ~.

The sale OF the remaining $4,000
worth OF waterworks and electric light
bonds issued by the village occurred
last Saturday afternoon and the coun-
Gil feels highly elated over the success
of the affair. There were score of
bidders located all over the United
States, New York, Cincinnati, Chicago,
St. Louis and other cities being repre-
sented but the bonds were knocked
down to the Minnesota Loan and Trust
company, of Minneapolis, which COM
pany made the best offer.
The voters last March decided to
issue per cent. bonds, everyone feel
ing that that rate of interest was as
low as could be made and sell the
bonds at par. The sale Saturday, how
ever, developed the fact that money is
even cheaper than was supposed and
the bonds will bear only 4! per cent.
This makes the rate on the entire debt
of $4,000 less than is per cent.
No town in this State ever started
on the purchase of an electric light
and waterworks plant under more
favorable auspices than Princeton does
now and there is no reason why there
should not be profit from the very
beginning.
Architect Loweth, of St. Paul. has
been engaged to draw the plans and
specifications and bids will be asked
for putting in the plant Immediately.
1t is hoped that June l will see the
work begun and by early fall the plants
will be in operation.

read paper on History OF Lumber

Following is his description of his first
discovery of pine in this region:
with two companions I started in
canoe on this exploration Sept. 1.
lS47, and went up the Rum river to
its source in Mile Laos. It was the
written report of this little exploring
party that secured the needed capital
for utilizing the water power of St.
Anthony, from Caleb Cushing and his
associates; and Cushing's influence in
congress secured the surveying of the
government land the claim was on:
while the discovery, by this explora-
ton, OF the almost inexhaustible
pineries above the Falls Of St. An
thony, being heralded throughout all
the States and Canada, brought emf
grafton from every State, and changed
the inhabitants of the territory from
barbarism to civilization.
"Arriving at the locality where the
town of Princeton is now built, we
turned from the main Rum river and
explored its West Branch. Up to the
mouth of that branch no white pine
suitable for numbering had been dis.
covered. But we found the West
Branch we'll timbered with white pine
for more than twenty-five miles, as
also were all it's tributaries, the very
valuable pineries on each side of these
streams being from three to six miles
wide. Then we returned and assembled
the main river, exploring it's course
rand the streams adjoining it I made
it practice to climb tall pine every
five or six miles, and from the top ]
saw the rich pineries stretching as far
as the eye could see, many miles.
There was much more pine timber
than our company expected to find on
the river.'

MEMORIAL DAY.

The General Order for the Observance of
the Day Has Been Issued
Department Commander D. 8. Searle

''These memorial services are not
had to excite any sectional feeling be-
tween the old soldiers of the north and
the south, but rather to exhibit to the
world, in the daring and valor of the
Union and Confederate soldiers alike,
the bravery and patriotism of the
American people, fighting for the
right as they saw it. Time has prac-
tically healed the enmities of that
cruel civil war, and all the hatreds,
the bitterness and sectional jealousies
engendered by that great struggle of
81 to '65 have forever passed from the
patriotic American heart.
"Memorial Day this year has a new
element in it. While we strew flowers
over the graves of our dead comrades
of the civil war let US not forget the
brave boys who went down with the
Maine, or those other young heroes of
1898 who offered up their lives freely
on the altar OF patriotism, that the
Spanish nation might be taught les
sons of justice and mercy. All these
boys have done their duty nobly, and
hundreds have died bravely.
