The death of Mr.. T. ID. McCandless
at his home al Oak Grove, West Car
roll, last Friday evening was very sud-
den, the gentleman having left our
town only the day before. He was
taken sick with hard chill on the
road home aud after reaching there
was taken with erysipelas, which caus-
ed his death.
Mr. McCaHdless was one of our old
est citizens, and we doubt il there was
a more competent man in any capacity
than he was. lie was deputy clerk
aud recorder for many years, and had
held other positions. lie was one of
the few that was left of the brave band
of Confederate soldiers, having enter
ed the army when mere boy and
fought TO the close of the war. Mr.
McCandless was preparing to leave for
California, and would have left in the
next few days, to join bis son, who is
now in that state. He leaves q wife,
son aud daughter, who have our SYM
pathy in bis death.

compelled the use of Vestibules during
the winter months on all street rail-
ways of the state, except in cities of
more than 10000 inhabitants. In these
cities it was left to the discretion of
the State Board of Railroad Commits
sioners to order the use of vestibules
if. in their judgment, such use was
compatible with public safety. The adj
Vocates of the use of Vestibules did not
make application to the railroad COM
missioners. They came instead to the
Legislature.
1.-THE committee on street railways
gave a series of hearings on the sub
ject, and summoned the railroad com
missoners before it. The commission
ers said they had not completed their
investigation of the matter and were
not satisfied that the use of vestibules
would be safe in the crowded streets of
Boston and Worcester. They feared
vestibuled cars would increase the liza
bility of accident. At the suggestion
of the commissioners, the committee
reported that the bill should be referred
TO the next General Court, and this
disposition was made of it. l voted
with the majority so to refer it. Mr.
Walsh was not in the Legislature that
year, as his district had not then got
in the habit of sending a Democrat to
represent it, and he may perhaps be
pardoned for not knowing these de-
tails. He has no excuse, however, for
assuming, much less charging, that
my action was due to hostility to the
interests of the street car employees.
When the bill for enforcing the use of
vestibules came up in the session Of
1900 l voted for it, as l presume did
Mr.. Walsh.
