The schooner PAUL Seavy. which ar
rived here on Saturday with cargo OF
coal for Herreshoff Manufacturing COM
pany, is aground about $50 feet north OF
the company's works and leaking badly
II is feared that she will bilge with a
heavy cargo aboard and on hard bottom
Mr.. John Moore, who has been en-
ployed by Seth PAUL as teamster, went
to his home on Thames street apparently
we'll and within two hours was found al
home in bed dead. Medical Examiner

A matter that needs immediate atten-
ton is the procuring of some method
by which our streets can be sprinkled. IT
is perfectly absurd for people TO be inn
posed upon in this manner, clouds of dust
with the slightest guest of wind binding
the eyes of everyone compelled to be
upon the streets. There is no just cause
for 1t, the town owns new water cart
and has also appropriated $500, 900 express
ly for this purpose. and the idea or APP
plying to a company TO sell water for
such purpose when the town has been
in litigation with this same company for
the past eight years, seems rather
strangle. Three years ago a citizen with
out any appropriation from the town pro-
cured his own watering cart and sprin-
killed. the streets with salt water and pro-
cured his pay by individual subscription
and gave good service. We would suggest

ing with the rest of the archives.
