Change. ON the Electric Road.

Telephones have been put in this W eek
for the electric road at the car house and
the stations at Saxtons River and BARRIERS
park. The side track in front of the tomb,
on Saxtons River road, is to be taken up
and longer one is to be put in near the
watering trough just beyond the residence
of John A. Thwing. The road will proba
bly, be in readiness to handle freight in
about a month, when several new men will
be employed for that purpose The need
! of one or two more vestibule cars is being
felt and their purchase is being discussed.
The track for the distance of several yards,
near the Church place in Gageville, has
been moved considerably farther into the
street to avoid a number of trees which
were dangerously near the running boards
of the cars as they passed.
The pupils of Miss Charlotte l.. Hub bard
of Claremont gave a very enjoyable re cital

for several years Miss Hubbards assistant,
assisted at the recital, as did Miss Minnie

DR.. E. w. Knight, in getting into a car
riage at the grounds of the Gun club We'd
nesday afternoon, caught his foot and fell,

small bones in his leg below the knee. He
has the leg in plaster cast from his toes
| to above his knee. The boot which was
caught in the step of the carriage tore for
the distance of two or three inches. Had
| it not been for this the injury would prob
ably have been much more serious

The Fitchburg railroad having passed to
the control of the Boston & Maine railroad,
the mileage of the latter is now good be-
tween here and Boston, making a great
convenience to the travelling public While
the change may be disadvantage to Bel
lows Falls in the removing of competition
in freight rates, it is decided advantage
to our passenger traffic. A few less men
will be employed locally. The Boston &
only as far as North Charlestown. The
rest of the line TO- Claremont Junction will
not be completed before October.

usual. Friday morning he spoke of having

Vermont Farm Machine Co.'s shop. At
| IL O'Clock, his headache being severe, he
| took car for his home in Gageville, where

the cause of his death was a mystery, until
a post norton examination proved it to be
acute Inflammation of the stomach. The flu
neral was held at his late home on Saxtons
River street at P NJ. on Sunday, Rev. j.
