The overtures made by the Democrats
in their effort to effect fusion with The
Citizens club does not seem to have met
with any great degree of success. The
latter organization did not look with
favor on the proposition as they felt
that they preferred to have some repre-
sentation in the lower house In case their
efforts were successful and the plan OF
the Democrats is said to have been TO
take both the representatives for them
selves and let the Citizens club lave
the nomination for senator.
This plan did not meet the approval OF
the Citizens. who wanted to have at least
one OF their men on the representative
ticket SO the fusion will probably not
be made and the Democrats will go into
their caucus tonight and make their
nominations without reference 10 any,
one else. although II has been hinted
that they will put up men who are
known to be acceptable 10 the Citizens
club In the hope that the same men will
be nominated by them and thus secure
the aid OF both parties.
This is simply another method OF ef-
fecting the fusion. which the Democrats
recognize as the only hope OF getting
the RepubV.cans out OF power This IL
the ambition OF both the Democrats and
the adherents of the Citizens club. II
is claimed that II they do some such
as this that they can carry the town,
although the other side scoff at the
idea OF their defeat. The Republicans arc
better organized than ever before. and
II necessary can put UP a stifr fight
against the combined forces OF their op-
ponents. with a good prospect OF win
ming out In the end.
They hold their caucus later In the
week and II is probable that IL will not
be so exciting as the Democratic cau-
Gus tonight is expected 10 be, as the
Republicans are united In their endeav-
ors to carry the town, while II is said
that there is more or less dissension
among the other parties
member OF the Democratic town
committee said that there would be
something doing in the caucus to-
night and by the talk about town IL
would not be surprising II the caucus
developed into rather warm one. No
Democratic caucus in years has created
more interest than has this one
ATTRACTED ATTENTION.
During the time that IL has been at
the dry dock the torpedo boat Morris
has attracted no little attention and yes
terday many OF the people called at the
dry dock TO get a look at the speedy
craft which forms part OF Uncle Sans
fleet OF war vessels. There were many
women In the crowds who went TO get
a look at the craft and they were loud
in their praises OF the trim little craft.
FELL FROM CAR.
AS Victor Morrill,, OF Riverside, was
alighting from Taunton electric Sat
urday night he lost his grip before he
was ready to get off the car and fell TO
the ground. He was quite badly shaken
up and hurt his wrist a little. but was
tvx4t rad IL hf-
home in Riverside unassisted.
FREIGHT DIVERTED.
There was so much freight in the local
yard OF the Consolidated road Saturday
night for the New York boat that II
could not all be loaded on the boat and
the officials OF the railroad sent part OF
II to Fall River on the regular freight
train TO that city, where IL was loaded
on the Fall River line boat The extra
freight filed II cars and made an extra
engine necessary TO pull II. The extra
business also made the train somewhat
late.
NARROW ESCAPE.
Many times have the people been re-
minded through the press that track
walking was a dangerous practice and
against the law as well, but thus far
remonstra nces seem to have gone but
little way towards stopping the prac-
tice. IL seemed that there were more
people than usual on the tracks yester-
day. and there was at least one narrow
escape from being struck by train.
Late In the afternoon three men were
walking down the tracks OF the Warren
and Bristol line and did not get of until
the train was almost upon them.
The electric cars which are used upon
the line do not make as much noise as
the steam cars and many people do not
hear them until they are almost upon
them. The moterman In this case blew
his whistle several times before he sue
ceeded In attracting their attention.
CHEsTNUTs.
Chestnuts are here in goodly quantities
this year and they seem 20 he very plen-
tiful. There are a good many OF them
in the woods south OF Waterman avenue.
and many bows Of the town take ad-
vantage OF the handy location OF the
trees to get their share Of the nuts.
Several boys went Saturday and came
back with all they could stun into their
pockets. They said that the lot which
they had secured did not make any ap-
parent hole In the supply the trees still
PRICE RAISED.
The local producers ~ milk have voted
to raise the price OF milk 20 a. cents
can where II is sold near to point OF die
tribution.
when Il has 10 be hauled for con-
siderable distance by the purchaser the
price will be made enough lower to make
n come sbout the same when II arrives
at the point where Il - to he sold 60 the
consumer.
The producers do not entertain any
doubt about their ability 10 get the price
they have set.
