Coal Dealer Profit by Trolley Extension Deaths
Divorce Petitions Appropriation for Shower Baths
in Armory-Conservator for Frank D. Geer of North
Stonington.
One Of the Main street, coal dealers

One of the Main street coal dealers
is to make a bid for the tide water
business that will be developed by the
building of the Ashaway and Westerly
trolley road, and hopes to successfully
compete with the proposed water con-
nections at Fox Point and Allyns
Point.
The Main street firm will probably
petition the next meeting of the town
council to order the changing of the
tracks of the Pawcatuck Valley troll
ley road to the center of Main street,
so as to allow a proper curve for a
spur track to the end of the wharf
property This will give the firm OPP
portunity to ship coal, building mater
ial or merchandise of any description,
direct from vessels to Potter Hill and
Ashaway and along the route Of the
Ashaway and Westerly railway
This almost direct water connec-
ton would also be of benefit to the
AshaWay and Potter Hill industries,
especially the Ashaway brick works
with the island fOrtifications and
places along the coast.
Already heavy rails are laid in Main
as far as School street, and adapted
for heavy freight use. Therefore the
expense the trolley road would bear
would be compensated for by the in
creased traffic. 1t is understood that
this Improvement will have been eff
fected before the beginning of the
Watch Hill summer traffic.

There was no truth in the statement
that the will Of Miss Ellen Burke
was to be contested on the ground of
undue influence on the part of the pas
tor of the Church of the Immaculate
Conception. who never attended Miss
Burke and had no knowledge of the
existence of a will, until after Miss
Burke's death.
Miss Burkes estate is not as large
as has been reported, and only
small sum is given the church.
Although lodged in the probate court
the will has not yet been legally ad-
vertised as being presented for pro-
bate, and therefore is not open to pub
lie inspection. 1t is known, however,
that a bequest of 500 is made to the
church, that a house and lot is given
to a relative, and that practically the
residue Of the estate, mostly cash. is
left for masses for the repose OF the
soul OF the testatrix
Two propositions that were eject
ed at the last session have been re-
ViVsd by Senator Wetmore and rein
troduced. One is an amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill pro-
viding for an expenditure of $4,000
for the establishment of a fish cui-
tural station, including ponds and
equipment. at some suitable point in
the state of Rhode Island. The other
was a bill providing an appropriation
of $225,000 for the construction and
equipment of a steam revenue cutter
for service in Narragansett bay and
adjacent waters with headquarters in
Newport to replace the Samuel r.

head, Indian agents, and representatives
of certain lumber companies operating
near the White Earth mine. Indian reser-
walton, the announcement was made to-
day Of possible timber scandal, involv-
ing about S5,000,000.
AS result the timber companies have
agreed to cease cutting timber where
claims are disputed ant to give bond for
the full satisfaction Of the allottees of
timber in case illegal cutting has been
done.
It seems that certain fuil-blooded In
dams and minors when In need Of money
have been selling their valuable timber
rights for almost nothing.
Suits will be started by the government
to determine who authorized the rates.

in the afternoon a score of men, said to
have been union sympathizers, rushed
into the place armed with scissors and at
