HEAVY TRAVEL.
The Cape Elizabeth Railroad Kept
Busy sunday.

The amount OF travel over the Cape
Elizabeth railroad on Sunday last TO
vantage grounds where the wrecked Call
forniau could be seen, was the largest In
the history of the road for single day.
Twenty xht cars we're kept going
from early In the morning until late In
the day to accommodate the crowds and
the estimated average numbsr Of pas
ssngers carried by each car was such as
to swell the aggregate to the enormous
estimate Of from IL, 900 to Is oOO. Ore
car is known to have carried 1000 persons.
The rush was so great that the people
were only too willing to get on to open
oars and six of thsse, despite the wealth
er, were called into requisition
Broadway was temporarily opened and
the employees did everything in their pow
er for the comfort of the patrons of the
road.

FREE TRANSPORTATION.
high School Pupils on the Islands To
Have Their Fares Paid.

There was meeting Of the school COM
mittee yesterday afternoon at which all
the mem Der wers present with the exosp-
ton Of Mr.. Hicks.
On motion of Mr.. Hall the leave OF
absence of Miss Marion Merrill OF the
kindergarten was extended six months.
Mr.. Whitshouss made o motion to
amend the rules of the board and place
three supervisors In charge OF the high
schools instead Of the entire board as IL
now the CASE Under the rules this pro-
posed amendment will not be acted upon
until the next regular meeting OF the
school board. Mr.. Whiteho use said that
the object Of this change was to enable
many things to be done for the schools
which would require majority OF the
thirteen members of the board who
would have to be seen when with the
throe supervisors In many cases these
things can be done without the necessity
of seeing 40 many members of the board.
Mr.. MCGOWAN did not like the idea Of
a change Of this kind and said that when
the motion came mp for action he should
vote against 1t.
Mr.. Hall brought up the matter OF pro-
yIdiug free Transportation TO this city for
these pupils who attend the manual
training school and the high school 1t
was almost the last official act oil MIR
Hall as a member Of the school board, and
II was one which Will be regarded as OF
great benefit to those residents Of ward one
whose homes are ON the islands. Mr.. Hall
presented this case very ably. He said
that the rules required the attendance OF
the children on the islands at the manual
training school and that to compel them
to attend this school without providing
them with free transportation was very
uuiust He also argued that there are
now eight pupils of the Portland High
school who reside on the islands and who
are forced to pay their Own fare to the
city and start very early In the morning
to reach here. Many of these pupils have
poor parents and the sum which IL mecca
sarJ to provide transportation Is felt 60 be
a great burden by them. These people on
the islands are taxed for the maintenance
of the high school, and 1t seems as though
they should be furnished with help from
the city in reaching 1t.
Mr.. Hessltins seemed to object to the
transportation being provided for high
school pupils from the islands unless 10
should also be extended to those pupils
Of the Dsering high school who live at
great distance from the school. In the
end Mt Hail's motion was passed with
out objection and the superintendent OF
schools was instructed to make the neces-
sary srrsngsmnts for the free transpcrta-
tion Of high school and manual training
school pupils from the islands. IL seemed
to hs the opinien Of Mr.. Hall that tsis
would encourage the people Of the Islands
TO send their children to the high school,
thing which Is 10 be desired.

hearing 10 the father Of boy vino Waa

ments. Mrs. Drcher was brushing off
the stove when the explosion occurred.
The force was sufficient to break the
windows and unhinge the kitchen door
and blew it through the rarlor onto the
porch. The stove was broken into q
hundred pieces, scattering the burning
coal all. over the floor and parlor. Mrs.
Dreher's dress caught fire. a brother
tore from her the blazing dress.
