1t is probable that no ice will be
cut at Orcuttville this season. Rob
bins & Patterson, the owners of the
ice houses that were burned at Oroutt-
willie last spring, have suit pending
against the O. v. railroad. with heavy
damages involved. 1t is understood
that the road will not allow ice TO be
stored or new houses to be built on
their land. While the road does not
own clear to the pond, they own
enough to seriously interfere with the
enterprise. and there will be moth
ing done in all probability.
Work is progressing on the electric
road as fast as adverse weather con-
ditious will permit There are now
about $50 men working. The land
is being cleared within about two
miles of Rockville and grading is be-
ing done about two and one-half miles
beyond the lake. Quarters for part
of the men have been built beyond
the lake. The line of survey for the
road goes through one corner of the
barn at the lake grove, so the COM
pany had to purchase the barn, which
is being used to stable the teams at
work on the road. The barn will be
moved one side far enough to take it
of the line of the road.
There was a meeting of the Bi State
league at Palmer last Saturday. Stat
ford Springs was not represented at
the meeting The Springfield dailies
report that Stafford is in favor of be-
longing to the league. While this is
probably true, no one connected with
the Stafford organization has signified
such an intention, as far as can be
learned. The league as outlined for
the coming year will include Monson,
Ware, Indian Orchard, Ludlow, Stat
ford and Westfield 1t was generally
supposed that Ludlow would drop out,
but this is not the case. Westfield
takes the place of Ohicopee Falls. and
as it is a big town it will probably
prove a good change if there is enough
local sentiment behind the new team.
J. NJ. Dillon of Springfield applied
for admission with team, but West.
field was considered the better propo-
sition It was voted that players of
last year may be reserved by the
teams on which they played, and that
no other teams in the league may me-
gotiate with these players until they
are released by their former teams
The season will open about the same
time as it did last year, which was
the third Saturday in May. The next
meeting of the league will be held at
Hotel Burns, Palmer, the 23d.
DR.. John f. English, 32, died at
Providence Saturday after an illness
of three days of pneumonia. The
had been in Providence about
three years and had built up good
practice. He was a young man of
much talent. and general regret is
felt locally for his death at time
when all indications pointed to a
brilliant and useful career in his
chosen profession. DR.. English came
to Stafford when he was five years
old. He received his early education
in the public schools, later entering
the employ of the Lathrop drug store.
His medical education was received /
at New York and at the University
Of Vermont. He was a graduate of
the latter institution. His hospital
experience was gained at Bellevue
in New York, where he spent
= year. The deceased was popular
locally. where his genial disposition
and quick wit made many friends.
He was much interested in sports. and
Tor several seasons acted as umpire in
the ball games on the local field
