into the cemetery to decorate the
graves, could enter direct from the

around to the old gate James Logan,

CONSOLIDATED CAR
RUNS ON ZIG TIME
Special to The Spy.

Millbury, Nov. 12.-The Blackstone
Valley Electric road is not the only
road running out of Millbury that is on
rag time" schedule. This fact was
proven to the Millbury public and pat
rons all along the line on Millbury
Street tonight. The car that left Bra
manville at 4.30 o'clock on the Console
dated line, arrived at the City Hall,
Worcester, at SOS o'clock p m, a run
of an hour and 3S minutes. Unforeseen
accidents of course are liable to hap
pen at anytime, and this may be one
of them.
The 10 passengers who were on the
car when it reached the wire mill were
wrathy, to say the least. Here the
first holdup occurred, and from this
point to Ward Street it took the car %
minutes to run. BY actual count the
car was started and stopped "a times.
Every time the car started there would
be a number of abs. followed by an
interval of painful silence, as the lights
would go out.
This is the first slipup the Consoli-
dated has made for over two months.
The delay was caused by a break at
the power station.
There has been much talk during
the past week regarding the sale of the
Millbury Cotton Mills. The mills have
not been sold although, as The Spy
stated, parties have looked the plant
over with the intention of buying. On
the best of authority it can be said that
one of the parties that have been in
town thinks favorably of leasing the
mill.
THE drama, IAN Old Fashioned
Husking Bee was given at Town Hall
Tuesday evening, under the auspices
of Millbury Grange, P. of H. 1t was a
success in every way. There was an
attendance of over 800 in spite of the
stormy weather.

general public.

PASSENGERS DON'T
WANT TO BE FROZEN
Special to The Spy.

Leicester, Nov. 12-Patrons of the
Worcester Consolidated Street Rail
way in Leicester and vicinity are be-
ginning to complain about the man
ner in which the cars of the Worcester
& Suburban division are heated. Last
winter the cars of this division we're
heated by electricity, and this year
the same plan is again in operation
but on an entirely different basis
Last year the company aimed TO heat
the cars regardless Of cost. This year
things are changed, and the company
seems to be trying to heat its cars on
this division at least with as small a
cost as possible.
On all the big cars Of this division
the company has cut out all the heat
ers but two, or has done something
that amounts to the same thing.
Formerly the cars were provided
with a switch that could be turned
three notches, each notch giving a
certain amount of heat. Now all this
has been done away with and only
the first notch is used.
The amount Of heat circulated by
the first notch is not sufficient to heat
the big cars and to ride to Spencer
from Worcester today on this line
would endanger the health of a strong
man. Everywhere complaints are
heard of the manner in which the
cars are heated.
The old Central factory in Leicester
centre, is undergoing repairs. and in
a few weeks the centre of the card
clothing business in this town will
