But the talks of Friday and Sun

with fine vocal music, seemed to have
a great element of Inconsistency and it
is hard to understand why a stranger
claiming Massachusetts as his home
should spend his valuable time, invest
his funds and energy and publicly at

tainly are here and here permanently,
all simply because he does not approve
our way of managing our own affairs.

that enforcement results in the exist

unknown thing in license commune

looms. the dives increase also in num-

shameful but pays great credit to our

Work on the new overhead railroad
bridge is progressing well. and the
construction is far enough advanced
so that one can tell about how it will
look. When set in position it will be
about five inches higher then the obi
one. One of the holsters which has
been used in the work, was sent to
Sherbrooke. L. O., Tuesday. where a
new bridge is being built, and went
west on freight train AZ. 1t is expected
that the work Of riveting the new
structure will commence, today. This
will not be done by hand, in the old
way, but the rivets will be set up by
a steam riveter. This machine strikes
from 1000 to 1900 strokes Il minute. and
is said 70 be rather noisy. The ties on
the bridge will be bOlted directly to
the iron frame, instead of being laid
on timber, as heretofore.
