| abandoned street between Marshall

Two articles have been inserted by
the board of health, through H. c.
| Evans, the secretary. The first reads
as follows: To see If the town will ac-
oept chapter 455, acts of 1S94-"An act
relative to the licensing of plumbers
and the supervision of the business of

I on.
The second is to see if the town will

Susan S., John Woods black trotter,
will appear no more on the LeicesteN
snow path, This afternoon Woods
hitched the animal in his sleigh and
! took q ride for the first time since the
snowstorm. He drove down Main street
in fine style, but when ait the turnout at
Rawson street the animal staggered
and fell. All efforts to make the beast
stand up We're unavailing. The animal
was led back of Allan Holbrook's barn
and knocked in the head to end It's
misery Heart disease and over feeding
would be the probable verdict of a COR
oner's jury.
Everything conspired to put the Sub
urban electrics off time this afternoon.
| At least three conductors reported vex-
atious waits at various points along the
| line through heavy teams being stalled
on the tracks in front Of their cars. The
usual heavy travel on Saturday and
theswet rails also aided in making some
Of the men about an hour late in the
| evening.
