A new ROUTE.
Electric Railway Line to Be
Established Between This
City and Fall River.

1t now looks as IL there would be di-
rect electric street railway communi-
cation between this city and Fall River
i'm short time as the plans Of the
Providence and Fall River Street Rail-
way company have been formulated
for an electric line to run along the
main road between Providence and Fail
River, commencing at the tracks of the
Somerset and Swansea Street Railway
company at or near the westerly end OF
the SHADES Ferry bridge. and extend
ing through the towns OF Somerset,
Swansea, Rehoboth and Seekonk. to the
Rhode Island state line.
The arrangements for running through
the streets OF Providence TO the centre
OF the city will of course. have to be
made with the Union Railroad Com
pany. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the line shall run in East
Providence over the new Fall River
road coming out at Broadway Six Cor
ners or continue, over old Fall River
road connecting with Riverside line OF
the Union Railroad company at Leon
ards Corners.
The new corporation proposes to OBJ
tain permission from the various towns
through which the new road is to be
run as soon as possible. 1t will hardly
be possible to construct line in less
than a year from this time on account
OF the inevitable delay in securing the
necessary materials.

HAWKINS DID NOT
LAST TWO ROUNDS,
Knocked Out by Joe Cans in a
Lively Battle at the Broadway
Athletic Club.

Cans planted a terrific right swing on
the jaw OF Hawkins, and the Callfor-
nian went TO the floor hard. Again *
seemed as IL the end was reached.
Hawkins seemed out beyond question
but he arose at the count OF nine. Cans
went at him hammer and tongs for a
finish, but Dal kept in the lighting TO
the sound or the bell. II was the most
exciting round ever Witnessed In any
contest for many a day. I
Hawkins opened the second with a
left for the wind which fell short. Cans
sent the left TO the jaw and they
clinched. Hawkins proceeded with his
rushing tactics as soon as they broke.
but Cans had the rushes and terrific
swings we'll guarded and avoided them
by backing away or blocking. Cans
stopped one rush with n smash on
Dars mouth which brought blood. A
moment later Joe's right found Dars
law and Dal countered around the neck.
Cans was measuring well and twice he
sent left and right to the face. He
swung one left TO the neck and then
whipped the right hard to the heart.
and following this with a right smash
on the jaw sent Hawkins TO the floor,
and he was counted out. Hawkins was
carried to his corner, where he soon
revived. The time OF the second round
was minutes and "a seconds.
The preliminary contest was slit
battle of IL rounds between Jim Burke
and George Jansen, which resulted in
the decision being awarded TO Burke,
when the limit was reached.
