The trial last evening was on Broad
street and through webster avenue, and
with Mr.. Thompson was an expert ma
chinist who declared that there was
nothing to hinder kerosene from being

one OF the minor objections is that
machine makes more noise propelled by
kerosene than gasolene, but that the
heat is much greater, while speed and
safety are assured.

One OF the sad sights OF the city last
evening was the trip Of an aged woman
and her son. in the patrol wagon TO the
Chaffee street station and both were In
an intoxicated condition.
They came into the square from South
scituate early In the afternoon and by
O'Clock had so los. control OF their
senses that they were elected from
number OF saloons on Delaine street and
the square. The patrolman on the beat
spoke to the old lady and asked her where
she lived and the son answered by saying
that they lived I'm South Sc'tuate and
were about to start for home.
a The woman must have been 20 years OF
age and was stopped over by age, and her
son. big strapping fellow. typ.cal
South Scituate farmer. was so drunk that
he could not stand straight. so the patrol
man deemed Il an act of charity TO take
charge Of the pair.
The woman was taken TO the Central
police station.

fellows. well dressed. and with every APP
pearance OF having been brought up I'm
good homes. one OF the boys said that
his father is the leading tailor Of South
Boston.
The lads were given something 20 eat
and were allowed 90 wash up and
