ANOTHER PLAN
FOR A HIGHWAY
ON EAST SIDE

The problem Of the east side approach
bids fair 10 become almost as much OF
a craze as the l3-14-l5 puzzle Of days
gone by; and about every man who ever
walked up or down College hin has a
plan sure TO be the thing desired
At the next meeting OF the common
council a plan will be presented which
has been revised by Manager Arthur :.
Fitz Of the Infantry hall estate, which in
important details differs from any other
yet suggested,
A prominent point in It is the utiliza-
tlon for a highway OF the large open area
back Of buildings on South Main and
Benefit streets. which at present appears
to be practically useless for any other
purpose, as the only buildings thereon
are old barns disused for anything but
dumping places for rubbish from resi-
dences.
II Is proposed TO make a start in the
march Of Improvement on Sonth Main
street opposite Crawford street and
tearing down the old buildings between
the Providence Institution for Savings and
IpSantry nall. provide for a 60-foot street
which. as II reached a point central be
tween College and Planet streets. would
diverge 10 the right and 20 the left.
To the right II would have a grade OF
6-i0 feet. and 20 the left 40 feet.
The street 20 the right would come out
on Benefit street, opposite Charles Field
street. necessitating the removal Of the
Burnside estate. now owned by Fred +.
Perkins That 20 the left would cut out
the old Arnold house on Hopkins street
and one building opposite Il. and on Rene-
AZ street would call for the destruction
OF that portion OF the Mauran Land com
pany's block whore Mrs. Radeke formerly
resided.
II IS cloimed that this plan would per-
nit OF the Pawtucket cars being run
northerly via Benefit street. while the
East Providence, Taunton and Riverside
cars as well as the Bristol and Warren
cars. might be sent via the south turn.
BY using such a highway most OF the
cars could land their passengers directly
I'm the centre OF the business district, con-
venient to the postoffice. the courts and
the banks
For purpose Of comparison, II may be
stated that College street has an is per
cent. grade Hopkins street one OF 25 per
cent and Planet street p per cent.

TRAIN ON FIRE;
CAUSED A PANIC
Men Fought to Get Out of Smoke
Filled Cars.
WOMEN FAINT IN EXCITEMENT
Exciting Scenes In New York Sub
way as Result of Fire on an Ex-
press Train-Passenger Threatened
to Attack Conductors.

New York, Sept. There were
exciting scenes in the subway Friday
night as the result of a fire on a
south-bound express train at the Four
teenth street station.
Traffic was tied up for 35 minutes
and conditions became so intOlerable
on many of the trains that passen-
gers threatened to attack the conduc-
tors and wreck the cars if they We're
not allowed to disembark and make
their way along the tracks to the
stations.
Some of the conductors refused to
open doors or move the trains so that
the passengers could get off, and it
was only after women had tainted
that they gave in and the trains then
groped slowly through the smoke that
filed the tube to the stations.
Many trains were stalled until the
traffic was resumed and hundreds of
passengers had to swelter in the cars.
Sitting smoke filed the subway from
about Twenty third street to the
Brooklyn bridge station.
Trains were stalled all along the
line, and thousands Of people swelter-
ed and fumed and choked in the cars.
The fire was caused at the Four
teenth street station by short cir
cult in the motor box of the Sixth
car of the train. There was a sharp
report, followed by a sheet of flame,
which shot from underneath the car
and enveloped the rear platform. The
motOrman heard the report and i'm
mediately brought the train to stand
still, before the first car mad passed
the platform. The blue flame that
lighted up the subway scared the pas
sengers; women screamed and tainted
while men made a bee-line for the
doors and fought their way out to the
platform.
The guards and station men had
to look after the women and get them
out of the burning cart Those who
had tainted and the hysterical ones
had to be carried out bodily.
The current in the third rail was
quickly turned off, and the train crew
fought the fire with sand for twenty
minutes before it was under control.
The train was then started down to-
wards town. Before 1t reached the
Brooklyn bridge it got afire twice. No
passengers were aboard it then, bat
a number of people waiting for trains
fled to the street.
