| WilliamstOwn Springs Sold.
DR.. s. L. Lloyd, of Williamstown
has sold one-half interest in the Will
Jamestown sand springs to Harry b
Leonard, of Chicago. The sale in
cludes a half interest in all the prop
erty, the summer hotel, bath houses
and bottling business. Mr.. Leonard
took possession November l.
The sand springs have an interest
ing history. The reputation of the
warm springs dates back to the In
dams whose trail passed by them and
who visited the springs often. Later
Greylock hall, big hotel, was bull
but this was destroyed by fire in 1881
and for ten years following, until
Doctor Lloyd bought the property
the resort fell into disuse.
OF late years North Adams people
have frequented the resort during
the summer because of the bathini
facilities and, this together with thu
sanatorium and bottling plant, has
made the spot busy one during thu
summer months.

mense boiler fell and tipped over to-

New Storage Reservoir on Orange
Brook Will Probably Be UucOmplet-
ed by Next Spring.

At a meeting of the City Council
held Monday night, Alderman Alexan-
der, chairman of the water committee,
reported that the prospects of COM
pleting the new storage reservoir on
Orange Brook, are very doubtful.
He. stated that he had visited the
reservoir and found that with the
number of men on the job at present,
the work could not be completed for
some time. He proposed that the con-
tractor place some additional labor
ers on the job, but was met by the
complaint that they could not be OBJ
tanned. He then proposed that the
new men should be obtained from
Boston, and offered to bring several
to this city. The matter is still under
consideration between the aldermen
and the contractor.
A petition was received from the
Central Vermont Railroad, asking
that the Council take some action re-
erty of the railroad near Granite
street, where the covered bridge and
the stretch of track at that point are
being traversed by pedestrians daily.
The Council will meet the represen-
tatives of the railroad for a discus
sion of the matter in the near future.
Alderman Thurston brought up the
matter of placing proper fire escapes
on the Blanchard block, something
that has been in the course of con-
struction for the past few months,
and the council voted to instruct the
fire committee to see the owners of
the block with regard to furnishing
fire escapes.
Alderman Campbell reported that
the fire alarm system is in bad shape,
stating that the whistle had not been
blown for the last three weeks, when
the regular daily time alarm is rung
in at $40 in the morning. The mat
ter was left with the fire committee
to investigate.
A communication was read from
certain citizens from ward relative
to the presence of a dog bearing a
bad reputation in that ward The an
imal is owned by A. Garetto, and is
said to be dangerous to be kept in
the community. The matter was left
with the license committee to inves-
tigate and report.

ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE
Bill Passed in Senate Creating Board of Embalmers Requiring Certificate to
 Practice EmbaImine

Little Rock, February 12.- Two important bills were passed by the Senate yesterday after noon one creating board of em- balmers and requiring certifi- cates to practice embalming in the state. This passed with Pres ident Martin and eight others voting against it. The other bill was one which permits grad uates from reputable medical colleges of the state to practice in Arkansas without the formal lty of an examination by the State Board. The bill prohibiting intoxication on trains passed by a vote of 80 to 0. The initiative and referendum joint resolution was called up for slight amend nent, which was made. Senator Turner introduced bill to provide for the typographical survey for the Western Clay Drainage District, which was made special order of business for today. The special message from the governor took up the balance of the time of the session.
 In the House the fur flew all day. Governor Donaghey finally triumphed for the resolution call ing for the discharge of George R. Mann as the contractor oI the capitol passed after an able defense by Tillman Parks on a vote of 46 to AZ. When the resolu- tion was introduced Wednesday afternoon it had but few follow CTS the majority being in favor of the discharge of Mann, but wishing to have it done by bill in as much as he was employed by a bill A resolution by War mock to investigate the evidence in the hands of the legislature was defeated. This resolution was intended as a substitute. The resolution passed yesterday afternoon is a concurrent one and must now be ratified by the Senate before the discharge of Mann by resolution is absolutely certain. The House argued all af- ternoon frequently bringing in other substitutes which were sidetracked and the speakers hammered away until the Parks resolution passed. One of the side tracked resolutions was by Holt of Hampstead, who wanted Ma
 for John S. Sewall, who made the Donaghey report, brought back before the House and let him be cross examined and tell the
 representatives all about the defects of the new capitol. An
 other resolution wanted a joint committee of 9, from the House and senate to investigate the capitol matter and make re-
 port. Another resolution wanted
