IN and ABOUT WESTERLY
Special Car Must Transport 40 Ton Granite Block-Wife
No. Spells Honeymoon Corps Inspection
Australian Ballot to be Used in Stoningtons July
Election

The large granite block taken from
wat is commonly known as the
Crumb quarry, is now at the Mantle
station awaiting transportation to
Chicago. The rock weighed about 40
tons when taken from the quarry, but
has since been squared to measure
nine feet square and four feet thick,
and weighs about 30 tons. The new
road recently built was put to a test
when this big block of granite was
transferred from the quarry to the
railroad station. The heavy load did
not make the slightest impression on
the surface of the road and crossed
the culverts without doing damage.
When this road was being built,
Manager Sullivan of the quarry COM
pany not only gave to the town all
the granite chips required for the
foundation of the road but also fur
nished free the cap stones for the
culverts. which accounts in part for
the solidity of the new road.
There is delay in the shipment of
the big chunk of granite to Chicago,
as the railroad company declines to
receive it for shipment on a regula-
ton car. The claim is made that the
granite is too heavy to place over
the trucks at either end of the car,
as the effect would be to unbalance
the car. and objection is made to plac-
ing the stone in the center of a flat
car. as the natural up and down mo-
tton of the car, by being overloaded
in the center, would tend to break
through the car on the long trip to
Chicago. Therefore transportation is
delayed until the railroad company can
secure a short. and especially strong
built car for the purpose. Manager
Sullivan says the railroad officials will
have such a car at the Mantle station
as soon as possible and then the
stone will proceed to its destination
without further delay.

There was a story of bigamous ma
ture in circulation in Westerly Friday
that indicated more than superficial
basis A man recently removed here
from another section of the state and
with him was a young woman whom
he introduced as his wife, and they
became favorites among their neces-
sarily limited number of acuuaint-
ances. They seemed typical examples
of good cheer and demonstrators that
life was worth living.
All this is said to have changed
when another woman put in appear
ance and made claim that she was the
lawfully welded wife of the man in
the case. The sequel is yet to be re-
lated.
