 The trolley tracks on North Main | street above Kingsbury street will be raised in some places six inches and in others will be owered the same distance. The company will take ad- vantage of the operations of the paving contractors to do the work The ob- ject of this change of grade is said to be accelerate the speed of the cars and to make the tracks more level There are some places in the city where the tracks are so uniform that a car is scarcely felt moving. It is 1 the intension of the company to make this condition more widespread. James O'Brien who is detained in county jail at the pleasure of Earl WilmOt of Middle street, Simonsville. and in default of Judgment given against him by the district court may be released this evening. Senator Ken nedy. counsel for O'Brien, was in the city this forenoon and stated that in any event O'Brien will have to be re- leased next week, as by that time At torney Root, counsel for Wilmot, will have completed his review of O'Brien's $ financial affairs, and will see that he is entitled to the poor debtors oath O'Brien's board has been paid up to this evening so that unless his break fast tomorrow morning shall be paid for before the lights are turned out in the jail tonight O'Brien must be re- leased. Hitherto. Wflmot saw that | O'Brien's board for the ensuing week was paid for before the passing week had expired. As this has not. been done this week it looks, as though the captive may be released and that Will mot's pleasure in detaining the man in prison has been exhausted. Wilmot claims he was illegally arrested at the | instance of O'Brien.
 A big crowd called at T. H. -Hayes's cafe on East Main street last night to see the big bass which the Democrat said was on exhibition there but un- fortunately it was taken out of the window about 6 o'clock and carried back to Quassapaug, where it will be served to a select party tomorrow That catch created whole lot of talk and some of the disciples of Izaak Walton state that it was hoax, Lot that the bass was on exhibition, but that it was one, that Alderman Walker caught in Maine and brought home in a box and gave to Charley Barnes, who took it to Quassapaug, stuck on l his bait, then thrust it into the water and hauled it up with a shout of tri- umph, the same as if 1t were alive. This is a bold statement. and in order not to get into any trouble over it we | think it wise to give the name of fhe | author and let him take the responsi- bility. It came from William Brickel. | the Washington avenue grocer, who | says he is willing to prove every word | of it. MT Walker was asked about the matter, but he declined to say whether the allegations of Mir Brickel were l true or not
