The closing Of the Dixie and Grove street
crossings over the tracks OF the Consoli-
dated road has caused no little amount OF
talk among those who have been in the
custom Of using them.
There are, perhaps, none at the present
and Dennis Heffernan. the veteran cross
ing tenders. the former having spent the
best part OF his day at the Dixie street
crossing, and the latter being stationed
at the Grove street crossing. their SER
vices ending last evening: and while these
old tried and true employees rather look
for positions elsewhere, they have not as
yet been given TO understand that there
Is any opening for them.
There goes out into the worl dwith these
two old vets James Powers and Daniel
Kehoe. The two older men have during
their long services saved many lives at
the risk OF their own.
The railroad company appears TO be A
little lenient- with It's -neighbnrs- -ia-tAa
vicinity OF Dixie street. for some one hHs
removed number OF boards from the
fences along the road and these have not
been replaced. as has been the custom
during the past, and those who cross the
tracks under these circumstances appear
TO understand that they do so at their
own risk. II is intimated that the city
or railroad will in the near future make
some provision to accommodate the thou
sands WHO have been accustomed 10 cross
the tracks at the Dixie street crossing
The conditions at Grove street are quite
acceptable.
PAID DUE RESPECT.
There was an attendance OF more than
50 at the special meeting held by St.
Mary's Holy Name society last evening
TO take appropriate action on the death
OF their esteemed member. Martin Nc
Cormick
At the conclusion OF the meeting the
society went TO the late home OF the de-
ceased, 122 Wood street, where the prayer
OF the organization was recited. There
also called at the house during the eve
ming a delegation from Branch 800 Of
the Catholic Knights OF America. The
funeral OF the deceased was held this
morning.
A GOOD IDEA.
The indications are that the car travel
on Pocassst avenue will not be interfered
with by the installing OF the high pres
sure water pipes. The pipes have been
laid on the north side OF Pocasset avenue,
and at the junction OF Webster avenue
they are being laid IN southerly drec-
ton, and TO do this a tunnel Is being dug
so that traffic may not be interfered with
LOOKING FOR THE MAN WITH THE
CASH
polish woman accompanied by a
patrolman from the Chaffee street station
spent the greater portion OF yesterday
afternoon In and about the square In
search OF a young Poander who had the
audacity to break open a trunk and take
$50. The money was the savings Of two
girls who made their home with the
woman and as near as can be learned
the young man wanted was her son.
THEY DID WELL.
Messrs. Braney, Walsh. Nangie and
Wagg. who went fishing for tautog yes
terday came home early last evening and
had n respectable looking mess OF fish. In
OF these men would be taken for any
amount. but when tho word "nshing' is
used. their friends use the expression.
"well, IN from Missouri"
FOUND HER DOG.
The dog stolen from Miss LILLIAN Brown
at 1a Rocasset avenue some time has
been found. or. at least, Miss Brown re-
ceived a letter from person in Green
Vile that her dog was there, and she
could have It by coming after II and pay
ing expenses.
