as by a number OF the members OF his

After the speaking the social committee
announced that something had been pre-
pared to satisfy the longings OF the inner
man and the members and their visitors
were invited TO partake OF chicken sup

sumptuous repast.
GOING TO PAWTUXEyT
This evening the Watchemokets will so
to Pawtuxet 10 attend the fair OF the
Volunteer Hose company which is now
in progress there. There is a strong fra
ternal feeling between this company and
the one at Pawtuxet and there is every
assurance that the local boys will have the
best kind Of time
The boys will meet on the square at s
o'clock and take a trolley for the place
where the fair is being held on the other
side OF the river.
GOOD IDEA
This has thus far been a severe winter
and the number OF water pipes which
have frozen up during the frequent cold
snaps has brought forcibly to the atten-
tion OF the authorities OF the fire district
the necessity Of having some means Of
getting at the shutoffs i'm front OF the
houses. With this end I'm view the admin
istratlve board is formulating plans TO
have made a plat showing the exact loca-
tions OF all OF the shutoffs. It has been
supposed that there was such a plat I'm
existence but n thorough search has failed
to disclose it's whereabouts.
WORKING OVERTIME.
The help i'm the local yard of the Con-
solidated are working overtime in the at
tempt to get the large quantities OF coal
which are on the fiat cars I'm the yards
transported up into the country and bring
back more cars 10 be loaded from the nu-
merous vessels of large tonnage which are
frequently docking here.
Yesterday morning II looked as though
there was nearly 200 cars loaded with coal
on the tracks In the vicinity of Wilkes
barre Pier and several vessels were un-
/ loading at the docks
