THEY ARE HAPPY.
Worcester Stockhold-
ers to Realize
Something.
ALL is NOT LOST
Local Party Draws From
Electrolytic Marine
Salts Co.

Worcester stockholders in the famous
Electrolytic Marine Salts Company,
promoted by Rev. Prescott f. Jerne-
gan, were pleased to realize yesterday
that % per cent of their original invest
ment was coming to them. Eventual
ly, it is announced that this rebate
will be 80 cents on the dollar.
When the Electrolytic Marine Salts
Company was first exploited, several
Worcester people became interested,
and when the truth finally leaked out,
it appeared as if the courts would be
appealed to to secure redress. Chas, T.
Tatman, Esq, of this city was re-
tanned by two parties to represent their
claims, and at one time legal proceed
ings were to be instituted, but delay
was made for further developments.
Yesterday when the doors of the
State Trust Company, in the Ex-
change building, We're opened, there
were number of persons on hand to
draw their money, and tellers were
kept busy paying out their cash during
the day. Among the callers was one
worcester party VINO gets ~ per cent
on his original investment. The total
sum which is to be distributed among
the stockholders is about $4,000
This dividend of 20 per cent was de-
clared by the committee which was
appointed by the stockholders to pro-
tect their interests, and in this COM
mittee Mr.. Tatman has done important
work for the benefit of the people who
had subscribed to stock.
1t will be remembered that when the
stock was on the market many paid
the par value and over, but a large
number of shares were disposed of at
rs or 80 cents a share, and those who
bought at the latter price and held
to their stock are going to realize on
their investment, even on a settlement
in liquidation because the committee
will be able to declare a final dividend
bringing the total up to 80 cents a
share No further word has been re-
ceived from Rev. Mr.. Jernegan from
his exile in France.

THE NEW NORTH PARK.
Plans Adopted Call fol
Numerous Extended
Improvements. /

The park commissioners met yester
day morning and adopted the plans fot
North park as submitted by Herbert j.
Clewley of Boston. This park is tie
largest with one exception of all h
the city, and when finally completed
will be one of the most beautiful.
Organization of the board for tle
year was deferred until the next meet
ing.
One feature of the plan contempla.e s
the construction of boulevard oyer
land commanding a fine view of he
city from Lincoln street to North aye
nue., a distance of about 1900 feet
There Is a street or lane now in this
location, called the North parkway, out
it is only so feet wide, and there is
nothing ornamental about it. Mr.
Clewley's plan makes this road inc a
boulevard 100 feet wide, with four bows
of trees, a wide green in the centre
two highways and two sidewalks. TIC
make the boulevard 100 feet wiCe a
strip of land so feet wide along the
route will have to be taken from the
land now owned by Charles 2. Bond
and Edwin P. Curtis. The total
amount of land required for this pur-
pose is 10000 feet. Mr.. Bond wa; be-
fore the commission this morning for
a conference relative to the purchase
of the land, but no definite conclusion
was arrived at.
The bandstand will be in the centre
of the park. The outline of the ltrgest
pond will be changed to make Il more
artistic, and the water will be deer
enough to allow for rowing. A boat
house will be built on the shor and
several beaches will be made.
The land between the main driveway
and the westerly boundary of tie parl
will be the forest section.

TO BE COMMON CARRIERS.
Worcester and Clinton Electric Road to
Garry Baggage and Merchandise.

To be common carriers has been the
aim of the leading electric railway
companies of the county, and the Wor-
cester & Clinton Street Railway Com
pany takes the lead in securing from
the legislature favorable action.
Since the Worcester and Clinton road
was first opened there have been nu-
merous requests from those who pat
ronize it for the road to carry small
baggage and merchandise, and yester-
day the first victory was won when the
committee on street railways reported
favorably on the bill giving this author
itv to the Clinton road. Other roads in
line will be the Worcester and Subur-
ban, and the Worcester and Grafton
lines.
