BOTH PHONES.
The Manchester Fire Department is to
| have an old phone hereafter. The Board
Of Fire Commissioners met last night
| and SO decided.
This is good news to every property
holder in the city, for heretofore, II a.
fire broke out in a neishborhood where
| there was not a new phone, the dalnaSe
might be serious before the department
could get the message. At the present
time the department is in splendid con-
dition, with new hose and the relief
| valve, which keeps it from bursting.
! The depot OF the a. c. l.. will hereafter
be kept open late at night for the tenetit
OF passengers who might want TO walt
for train. a man has been put on
duty there and Il good fire kept IN the
Waiting-room.

Greatly to the relief of the travelling
| public the heaters in the cars or Man
chester were put in operation yesterda,
and the passengers kept comfortable
There had been mitch complaint in the
early morning OF the cars not being
heated.
II the conductors were allowed 20 sta!e
inside the car they could make them
selves comfortable. but the rules OF me
company prohibit this. In crossing the
| fridge the wind gets their fingers so COLO
that they can sca-ce'y attcni: to tHci1
duties.
