 There is some advocation for add ing another officer on the streets. The duties are very arduous for one man, and it is said that Officer Helm would be Alad of assistance. There are some who oppose the proposition on account of the expense. while others think it is something that is bound to come and think that it might as we'll be done at once. The matter has been brought to the attention of the court of burgesses, but no action has been taken on it as yet.
 Monday several different kinds of express and freight cars, loaded with ballast, were run in here on the trolley line to test the power and road bed There is no doubt that the heaviest freight can be brought in on the line. To-day the first express and freight car commenced making regu- lar trips from Rockville, arriving here at 9 40. In future it is expected that the car will arrive here at S. 45 and will remain an hour. Gary Bros. will represent the company at this end. Freight shipped from Boston at 4 o'clock in the afternoon will arrive here on the express car the next morn- ing. The company will probably erect a small building to accommodate the Rhode Island Worsted company near the plant.
