Joseph Nigro, Is, was injured at
the Warren wooden mill Monday. He
caught his hand in q belt in the card
room and was thrown. His face was
bruised, his nose was wounded and he |

long. He was taken to the office of
DR.. O. B. Newton, where his injuries
were attended.
There are about 165 men working
on the new electric line and the work |
is being pushed. Rails have been
strung beside the track ss far as West |
Stafford. No ties have been drawn
as yet, but this will be the next step. |
At the Charter place the red barn is
being removed from the right of way.
Mr.. Charter has sold the barn TO Mrs.
Patrick Murray. The work of grad
ing is practically complete through the
land of Mr.. Charter and Mr.. Gerard,
and soon will be through the land of
Peter Panciera. Work on the ledge
near this end continues, but it is a
serious obstacle. A big charge of
dynamite was touched off Tuesday
evening and shattered many cart
loads, but there is still much to do be-
fore it will be reduced to the proper
level. AS the work progresses the
feasibility of the route adopted be-
comes more apparent. There are few
curves and the right of way through
private land will make good time
possible. No expense is being spared
to make a level, firm roadbed, and the
iron is of the best. The indications
are that the new road is to be first
class in every respect.
The foundation is in for the new
weave shed to be built for the Rhode
Island Worsted company. The foun.
dation is of concrete and the brick
layers will probably commence work
the last of the week. Some idea
may now be had of the size of this
new building, more than is conveyed
by the figures of the dimensions, 235
by 165 feet. 1t will contain 10000
square feet of floor space, and taken
alone would be considered a pretty
fair-sized plant. In addition to this
new building, a new engine and
boiler house will be constructed, 80
feet by Sc, and new dye house, 81
by 125. D. P. Griggs is in charge
of the work, and an idea may be had
of the Importance of the changes that
are taking place when it is known
that there are about 80 men employed
at the plant-2O carpenters, ! 2 stone
masons and helpers and so other men
engaged as exoavators and teamsters.
1t will probably be nearly a year
before the work is completed. A new
and substantial stone f1ume has been
constructed, ten feet deep and twelve
feet wide. Two new water wheels
are to be placed aggregating 100
horse power. Work has already been
commenced on spur track from the
Central Vermont railroad. This track
will lead to the back of the new en-
CINE house as we'll as the main wooden
building. Coal can be dumped from
the cars right back of the boilers.
With this track the facilities for re-
ceiving stock and shipping the product
will be nearly perfect. The main
wooden building and granite building,
included in the original purchase,
will be connected by a trestle bridge
II feet long. An elevator will be
placed in each of these two buildings,
and with the connecting bridge every
part of the plant will be easily Access
sible in receiving or shipping. The
large wooden building has been prac-
tically made over new, and the granite
building will receive the same treat
