THE ELECTRIC RAILROAD,
SpeciaI Town Meeting Called For
Thursday,

To Consider Action BY the Town In Ref
erence 20 Grading Pine and Centre
streets-.Ntcd ola Change i'm the Grade
Forthcoming.
Electric raih cad alters have rot II ate
rally changed during the week except the
calling of the expected town meeting by
the selectmen. 1t is to occur at 10 o'clock
Thursday forenoon, and the following is
the resolution to be placed before the
voters:
Resolved, That the selectmen are hereby in
structed and OH Cted to order the cutting down
Of the grace upon Pine and Centre streets in the
village Of Bellows Falls to the extent OF IL rect,
at least, at the highest point OF the same, and 70
sections 1851 1855 and 1859 of the Vermont stat
ues of 1894 any other statute in relation there
to, and provide means therefor provided the
Bellows Falls at Saxtons RIVER street halWey
company will agree to do said cutting down and
grading free of expense to the town
This means the town is to pay the dam
ages. if any, to the abutting landowners.
The actual damages caused will be slight
if the banks are put in the best of shape,
hut il is still entirely unknown how much
it will amount to, and no effort has been
made to ascertain. Each day strengthens
the iudgmt MT that the citizens are almost
universally in favor of the building of the
road, and are ready to assist, as Town,
whatever is necessary to that end. Doubt
is still freely expressed if the vote ought
to prevail without some investigation be-
ing made as to how great the cost to the
town will be to pay the abutters.
The point should be considered that in
the general movement for good roads in
every direction, as a matter of political
economy, and the attention of the voters
having been called to the fact that the hill
is unnecessarily steep for drawing heavy
freight to Saxtons River, it is more than
probable that the whole section of our
town that has to pass over the Saxtons
River road will demand that whether the
railroad is built now or not the grade shall
be materially cut down to aid the heavy
teaming. The statement is made by those
who do teamipg that it takes three horses
to draw a load out of Bellows Falls today,
which two horses will easily draw to Saxtons
River and Grafton. The town will soon
demand either that this hill, or the front
terrace hill, be cut down on this account
in the immediate future and it will be a
large expense. Now the railroad propose
to pay all except damage to abutters
The cost to the town should be limited,
however.

a Letter which shows That the Beer
Was "Preserved,o

The testimony before the court of in
quiry began at Washington yesterday with
DIR. l.. Clifford Cox, assistant surgeon in
the volunteers of the District of Columbia.
He was at Tampa and in Cuba, and testi-
fed that the command was attacked with
diarrhea to the extent of an epidemic after
eating refrigerator beef at both places.
After the second attack of this character
the regimental surgeon had ordered that
the issue of the beef be stopped. When
this was done the diarrhea ceased.
The letter of Armour & Co., offering to
use the Powell process for the preservation
of beef, was submitted as evidence by Mai.
Lee, acting for Gen. Miles. 1t was ad-
dressed to the commissary general, dated
at the firms Washington office July 10,

A Shortage of Logs

For Use at the internationally Paper
COmpany's MilIs---Logs Being Ship
ped by Rail from Canada and from
the Mountains on Rutland Road.
The international Paper company used
the last of their supply of logs that were
stored in North Walpole, last Saturday.
The supply which was drawn from the
river last summer was even larger than
usual but the consumption has been larger,
and the supply which has other winters
come in by rail has been smaller. At this
time they are pinched little to get a sup
ply, particularly of as good quality as are
wanted. They are using about ten cars
per day, a portion being imported from
Canada and portion coming from the
summit of the mountains on the Rutland
line. The most of those being used now
are cut into six foot length before being
brought here, and shipped in box cars, in
stead of in full length logs. An immense
tank supplied with hot water is being used
in the cutting up room, in which all the
logs which have bark on are soaked before
being cut up. In case of there being
shortage in the supply received any day,
the preference is given to supplying the
sulphide mill and the grinding stones are
held back, as the demand for the sulphide
product is the greater. A large contract
which the company has had with the Hos
kisons of Healdville for the last few years
has been hindered from various causes the
past winter and but few have been receiv-
ed in proportion to what was expected.

Republicans Successful In Rhode Isl.

The Rhode Island state election Wednes-
day resulted in a Republican victory,
though the Democrats made gains in many
localities. The entire Republican state
ticket was successful and the general as
sembly will be Republican by a large ma
jority, though probably not as large as last
year. The socialist vote is large in the
cities and manufacturing towns. One

The entertainment given Monday even
ing in the opera house by the pupils
of the High school, ''In the Trenches"
was a decided success in every re-
spect, and the large audience which filled
the house was convinced we have a large
amount of local dramatic talent to draw
upon. Harry S. Miller of the United States
army gave a series of stereopticon pictures
between the acts illustrating incidents and
scenes in Cuba. Miss Charlotte Day sang
a solo which met with warm applause.
The play was an interesting one and the
different characters taking the prominent
parts were well chosen. Mrs. j. H. Blake
ley had the charge of drilling the different
actors, and the result of her efforts was
marked. The income was such that after
paying all expenses the senior class funds,
in whose interest it was given, were in
creased a little over 500, which is to be
used in the ordinary graduation expenses.
The class is being congratulated upon the
good results, and the audience felt that
they had their moneys worth.

A trial of an assault case of more than
usual interest occurred in the justice court
Monday afternoon when James King of the

LEG BROKEN.
Moses Smith Breaks his Leg Near the
thigh i'm Peculiar Manner.

Moses Smith son of George
Smith had his leg broken on Satur-
day night. The story told by Smith
and his comrades about how the
injury was received is that they
were sitting on the suspension
bridge after midnight and all at
once Smith jumped up aud started
to run
The presumption on the part of
the other boys is that he was asleep
and he cannot give my reason for
the move. He soon fell down and
when the other boys got to him he
could not stand up. The injured
hoy was carried to the office of Drs.
Fitch and Gibbons and later taken
to Thornt Wells on Front street
DR. Gibbons set. the leg and Moses
is now doing what be can to get over
the hurt. He has been injured sew
eral times before having had his
arm and collar bone broken and
showed wonderful nerve during the
setting of the injured member.

OUT AGAIN.
Fairmont Has Another Terrible Sensa-
tion Over The Liquor Question.

Fairmont has gone dry again and
every saloon in town has Its front
door closed. The council held anoth-
meeting on Saturday night and knock
ed the license in the head. This is
the second time they have done this
but this time the surprise is very
great.
The secret OF the action is to be
found in the positions taken on the
subject by the county court and the
council. These bodies 20 to pulling
directly contrary on some Of the APP
plications. This lead them to finally
get clear over the traces and the coun-
Gil has refused to grant any permits
at all.
The old permits expired on May
first and the town is dry until the
council can be gotten together and
made to stay good by the liquor peo-
pie. The latter probably feel agrieved
at the fact that the men whom they
have been in close consultation with
won't stay as they are fixed.

J. w. Berry has finished looking up
all the bad places in the pavement
that he laid last summer and has left

up nicely and the job now looks like a
very creditable one. 1t was long
pull and hard one but he got there
finally.
The pavement seems to be in fairly
good condition and Is certainly much
better than he expected to put down
when he first began the job. The
Foundry street part of it Is the worst
that has been done.

Wild Flowers.

1t is surprising how few people
know anything about our wild flow
ers. They cultivate exotics to per-
fiction, understanding all their hab-

tonished ut the beauty of the blood

beautiful in nature to take walk
these fine days among the hills, and
see with their own eyes the delicate
colors of the thousands of spring
beauties, pepper roots, liverleafs, tril-
lums. sweet williams, vioiets, adder's
tongues and the many other flowers
that make our woods delightful.
