president. Both Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn noticed that
the mans hand was swathed in a

President Mckinley smiled, bowed

crack OF revolver rang out loud and
clear above the hum of voices, the
shutting of myriad feet and vibrat
ing waves of applause that ever and
anon swept here and there over the
assemblage.
There was an instant of almost
complete silence. The president
stood stock still, look of hesitancy,
almost of bewiiderment on his face.
Then he retreated step, while a
pallor began to steal over his fea-
lures. The multitude, only partially
aware that something serious had
happened paused in surprise while
necks were eraned and all eyes
turned as one to the rostrum where
a great tragedy was being enacted.

The franchise for the proposed electric road through this town has been granted. The proposition of the promoters to local corporators is that stock company be formed of $50, ,O00, and that the board of directors shall include seven members, of which number three shall be of Stafford, one of Rockville and the others repre- senting the promoters. Of the $50, 1000 in stock, 1t is proposed that the local di- rectors shall subscribe for controlling interest. This stock shall be deposited with a trustee for one year, and at the end of that time, if the present promoters have not made a start, ether arrange ments can be made. This proposition seems very fair to the local incorporators, as 1t gives them an opportunity to con- trol the situation. Mir. Perkins states that the capital Is ready to build the road If the franchises in Massachusetts come out all right, so as to make connections through from Hartford to Worcester. As there seems no reason why these fran chises will not be granted, MT. Perkins thinks that the preliminary work will be commenced in August, and that by one year from next month the road will be in operation. MT. Perkins met the corpo- rators last Saturday at the business asso- citations rooms relative to organization of the company, and it was decided then to organize at Hartford June 11th, but the time has since been postponed until after another meeting. MT. Perkins and his associates will be in town next week and meet the local corporators, when plans for continuing the enterprise will be form ulated.
