A DISAPPOINTED CITY.
Fitchburg Regrets Loss of Her Promised
Post Office.

Fitchburg, Feb. 10.-There Is much
disappointment among this citizens OF
this city, owing to the fact that the
bill for an appropriation Of 100000 for
public building in this city failed to
pass the house, although 1t was report
ed that such was fha case. The COM
mittee ON the whole Of the house re-
ported favorably on the bill but when
the committee went oyer the list OF
bills. certain members whose pet
schemes failed to work, made a big
kick, with the result that only one or
two appropriation bills ran the Saunt-
let,
The much mooted question regarding
the granting Of franchise to an cleo
trio company on the part of the town
of Westminster, has at last been set
tied by the granting II sucn petit
ton to the Gardner, Westminster and
Fitchburg Company, after a wait OF
over two years.
A new wooden company with capital
of $115,000 has been organized in this
city and two sites for e. location have
been considered. A gift of 3. new plant
has been assured the company, but 1t
is more than likely that one of two
vacant mills will be used. The promo
ters are men of large experience, and
will no doubt carry the business to a
successful issue.

CONGRESS.
Question of Extra Session Discussed BY
Cabinet.

Washington, Feb. 10.-At the cabinet
meeting today the president read brief
extracts from the report Of the war
investigating commission and the mat
ter was discussed informally.
During the conversation can of
roast beef, which had been taken from
the commissary army stores, was
brought in and opened. The members
present examined it as well as could be
done with the means at hand, and all
declared that so far as they could de-
termine it was in perfect condition,
wholesome and sweet.
The question of transportation to
Cuba of the 100000 with which the in
surgent army is TO be paid off, and
the kinds of money to be sent, was
briefly considered 1t was agreed that
the Cubans could have any kind of
money they wished whether gold. sill
yer or silver certificates, or a part in
EACH Shipments. Of 100000 each will
probably be made at intervals of a few
days or as rapidly as needed.
The question of an extra session OF
congress was also discussed, and 1t Is
the opinion of members of the cabinet
that in case of failure of the army re-
organization BILL an extra session will
be necessary. The president during the
meeting called attention to the urgent
necessity for an American cable across
the Pacific and read the message to
congress which he had prepared on the
subject.
Members of the cabinet declare
the report Of the war commission to be
in no sense a embarrassing report. On
the contrary, it is stated, the commits
sion has not failed to point out where
there was error or fault. For instance,
IT. has not passed without criticism the
arrangements for transportation of the
troops, and it also has found some
things to have been amiss in the sup
ply of medical stores and assistance to
the troops though it has set out the
palliating circumstances such as the
state of unpreparedness of the country
and the difficulty of suddenly training
green men to discharge heavy duties.
Touching the much discussed question
az to the character of meat furnished
to the army, the commission declares
that the food generally was of good
quality, and censures Gen. Miles for his
alleged failure to acquaint the war de-
partment with the faults said by him to
have been discovered at Porto Rico.

FOR NEW HIGHWAY.
Leicester Residents Desire Easier Access
10 Worcester.

Leicester. Feb. 1O.--A petition has
been presented to the selectmen by
Jerry Barry George Mann, Billings
Mann and 20 others, asking them to
lay out highway from Mulberry street
to the Paxton line over the location of
road discontinued by vote Of the
town in 1873. The seleetmen win give
hearing at the house Of Jerry Barry,
near the premises, on Monday after
noon, Feb. 20, at 2 o'clock. The town
Of Paxton has never discontinued that
part of the road over the town bound
airy. and the Leicester portion was
never used for any other purpose. All
that will be required will be TO cut
off brush and grade the old road for
about half mile. The petitioners de-
sire to have reader access to the state
highway in Paxton when they wish TO
go to Worcester Besides this plan,
articles for relocating and establishing
the grade of Waite street and for lay
ing out the proposed new street in

COLD WORK

in Southbridge.
PELLETS BLOCK
Destroyed, Entailing a Loss

Especial Dispatch TO The Spy.)
Southbridge, Feb. 19.-The most dis
astrous fire to visit Southbridge in over
10 years, and the largest one OH Main
street in over score of years, de-
stroyed the Pellet block on Main
street, tonight, entailing loss of about
$4,000. The bitter cold weather badly
handicapped the frempen at the out
set, as hydrants were found frozen in
some localities, and it was by dint Of
vigorous efforts on che part of the fire
men that surrounding property was
saved
1t was $40 o'clock when Patrolman
Patrick Douty saw flames issuing from
the bakery of Joseph Proulx In the
ground flooor of Charles H. Pellett' s
block, on Main streetAnext to the Ellis
& Whitford blocks. The officer sounded
the alarm, and so quickly did the de-
partment respond, that within 10 min
utes five streams were pouring tons OF
water on the roaring flames.
The structure is of wood frame, two
stories front and three stories in the
rear. The fire originated about the
ovens in ProulX's bakery, and before
the firemen arrived, the entire struc-
ture was enveloped. To add tc the
difficulties of the firemen, some of the
hydrants were found frozen solid, and
it required some time to thaw them
out AS fast as the water struck the
rubber coated firemen, the men were
! encased in sheets of ice, ana several
of the men were badly bitten by the
frost
In short time a general alarm was
sounded and the entire department re-
/ sponded. At the rear of the building
| is located Northrup's livery stables
land several smaller barns and sheds
and the department bent their efforts
to prevent the spread of the flames t.
these buildings. This was a wise pre-
caution, as had these buildings taker
| fire, the entire district would have beer
fjeopardized.
The building was occupied on the
ground floor by Joseph Proulx's bakery
and in the basement by Pellets bottl-
| ing establishment. u. c. Ellis, grocer
| les, also occupied part of the grount
| floor. The upper floors were occupied
| by J. A. Larue, tailor and Samuel Will
liams, furniture dealer.
| Walter Hager of steamer / was over
come by the smoke. Henry l.. Watson
of steamer l had his ears badly frozen
| and Aleck Nominee, professional
acrobat. and a member of ladder /
| fell from the roof Of the building ant
sustained painful injuries about thu
| legs.
| The loss to Pellets building will b.
about $1,000; Williams, furniture dealer
will loose $1,000; Proulx, the baker, $3.50
Larue, the tailor, $500, and Pellets los
in the bottling establishment will swell
the total to about $4,000. Pellet

THE HOUSE.

In the House, Mr.. Myers moved that
the House insist on its former refer
ence to the committee on cities of the
petition of Sidney Smith and others, re-
stricting the height of buildings about
the state house The Senate referred
the petition to the committees on cities
and state house sitting Jointly. Mr.
Myers motion was carried
Leave to withdraw was reported
on the petition for an increase of the
salary of the second clerk of the state
board of agriculture.
These bills were reported from COM
mittees: To consolidate the sinking
funds of the metropolitan sewerage
loan; that auditors in all cities of over
$4,000 population shall publish annual
~ a list of all employees of such cities;
that city auditors shall make an an
nuai public statement of all contracts
entered into by the city during the
year; that $4,000 be appropriated for the
New England School for Deaf Mutes.
When sMr.sTolnaans bill authorizing
trust companies with capital of
100000, came up Mr.. Patton of
Leominster defended the mem
bers of the committee on banks
and banking, and referred to
Mr.. Tolman as an end man who had
amused the House, but that now the
question was a serious one, and that
the House had had fun enough.
Mr. Adams of Melrose said no good
argument had ever been presented for
the law making the obligatory CAPT
tai of trust company 100000. There
had been no valid argument advanced
against Mr.. Holman's bill. He thought
ten small trust companies in ten small
towns would be better for the people
than one central company with mil
lion dollars capital in one central
place
On a rising vote the bill was passed
to be engrossed, Is to 4S.
The House adjourned at 2.10 o'clock.

ELECTION LAWS.

Room 240 at the state house was well
filled this morning at the hearing be-
fore the committee on election laws On
the bill granting women the right 10
vote In city and town elections on the
question of granting liquor licenses.
Rev. Father Scully of Cambridge was
the first to speak in favor Of the pc
tition. l9e spoke Of The great changes
in the position of women of late years,
their responsibility in many cases as
bread winners, and saw no reason why
they should not be granted municipal
suffrage. He favored the petitio1 ON the
grounds of public order, decency ana
morality.
Mrs. Mary e. Cheney, president of
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-02-11

the Boston W. c. T. u, was the next
speaker. She argued that women
should vote on this question because
they were interested in the saloon
question.
KEY. DR.. Charles l.. Morgan said the
proposed legislation was not selfish or
mercenary, but for the welfare of the
whole community. Women now vote
for school boards and they as now
vote for the better protection OF the
children and the home
Mrs. e. Trask Hill of Somerville
spoke of quietness, peace and good gov
eminent in that city, and said if the
men of other cities and towns voted
as did the men of Somerville, there
would be no necessity Cor the proposed
legislation.
She not only favored the proposed
law, but would also have it fixed that
women should enforce it. If 10000
women voted for no-license in Boston
and the officials would not enforce the
no-icense law, their position with
these 10000 women after them would
lot be enviable.
Perley Stone of Haverhill and pres
ident of the temperance union of thai
city, favored the petition. The state
protected women and children whC
worked IN factories, ana there is ne
reason why it should further protect
them in their homes from the saloor
and its effects.
The cause of the .remonstrants was
looked after by Thomas Russell of Bos
ton, and Frank Foxcroft of Cambridge
was the first speaker on that side. HI
announced himself as a strong anC
earnest advocate of temperance anC
against the saloon, but was opposed t,
the petition,
The petitioners seemed to assume tina
if the suffrage was granted, all womel
would vote FOR no-license. This wal
open to much doubt. Women differed
as much as men. Last year 27S citie
and towns in this STATE were carried
for no-license without the aid of WON
en-. The vote Of women is obviousl.
not needed in these places.
Mrs. Charles T. Hubbard of Taunton
opposed the petition. She spoke Of TIL
result of a house to house canvass il
that city in 1856, in which 900 names o
men were secured as opponents of tn
further extension of suffrage towomen
Since that time the list has grow
steadily larger.

The study of physicians. the experi-

harmless, and in most cases useless. ONT

cure resulted from these preparations.
Inc remedy required is one that imme-
dlately stops the pain, so severe in most
cases of piles, and then, by contracting
