Boston, June S-Preliminary paper S
have been filed and charter issued
to the Clinton and Hudson Street Rail
way Company, seven miles long The
company is capitalized at S100. 900. A
charter mas been issued for a road to
run from Arlington Heights through
Lexington and Bedford to Billerica, II
miles, with a branch in Waltham and
Billerica. The capital is $4,000.
The construction of the Hudson and
Clinton Electric railway line through
Berlin, now in process, just touches
the outskirts of Bolton, at South Boil
ton, and provokes the inquiry, why the
line does not go through Bolton in
stead of Berlin. While Bolton holds 1t
beautiful route, with easy grades, tlle
Berlin route is one tangled mass OF
steep hills, sharp curves, narrow
ledgy streets and three steam roads
to cross over.

Gov. Wolcott knew what he was talk
ing about, though others did not, when
he admonished the newly appointed
member of the police commission that
the number of liquor licenses issued
should be limited to a thousand. Even
those who drafted the new law forgot
that there is a wide distinction between
the number of licenses granted and the
number of places licensed. Dealers
who under the old law rejoiced in as
many licenses as they wanted, so long
as only the legal number of places
were opened, now say that legislators
and lobbyists are provokingly stupid.
Nobody will blame Henry H. Faxon for
laughing at this bit of unconscious
legislation" as the great joke of the

Panic Averted In an oxford Church by
Calm, Encouraging Words

oxford, April 3O.-A panic was mar
rowly averted in st. Roch's Catholic
church, at this place, at the morning
services today by the GOODNESS of the
priest reading mass. Fire was dis
covered at the rear of the edifice while
the services were in progress, and sew
eral made an attempt to rush for the
outside of the building. The priest
called on the congregation to keep their
seats and quoted their fears. The fire
was quickly extinguished by the appli-
cation of a few buckets of water and
when the fire department arrived the
fire was all out. The damage is light
and the cause of the fire unknown.
