Highway to Watch FIil to be Speedily Improved-Death of Mrs. Rose E. TrueI-Twins Jury in United States Court-Funeral of Cr. E. H. Knowes-Eand Concert.

The delay in the cornmenc ement of the rebuilding of the Pawcatuch Val ley street railway between Westerly and Watch Hill is liable to not only interfere with trolley business during the summer months, but also With au- tomobiles and other traffic. Six weeks ago representatives asked -he tcNn council of Westerly for cerElin .N ileges in regard to slight changes in layout and grade. with the unde' star;I- ing that the road would De rebuilt and fully equipped by June l5, the trolley officials even stating that the IT. ;pg stock had been purchased and tha- men and material were then in req 1fness 10 commence the work without delay. Everything the trolley officials asked of the town council was granted, but as yet not an inch of the roadbed has been disturbed in connection with tfe rebuilding of the road, and the prom ised time for completion of the work is within two weeks of the Emit. Al least three surveys have been :n:ce which have been taken as in Ii ,A,ion that the actual work of recOns -rucGton was soon to begin, but as yet there ls' nothing doing along the line.
 At Watch Hill proper. at Bay street and the approach thereto, where new sidewalks have been laid, the roadway is in almost impa aSSable condition, as at this point a change in grade and location of rails is to be made 70 sc- c0mnOdate the trolley company. If this condition is permitted to exist much II fare to the hill is to be out of repair during the summer months, there w;h be tendency to impair the success CT the summer season at Watch 1Itd- ' he highway committee has dete-mine9 to make d move in this matter and ascer- tain the definite intention of the troltey company and will be governed in ac- ten by the information received.
 There was a report in Westerly Cn Thursday to the effect that the ma terial for the new trolley road was close at hand and that by Monday at least one hundred men would be at work on the trolley road.
 It is something out Of the ordinary for two brothers, especially twins, to be summoned as grand jurors to the United States district court, but that is what happened to Henry and Will liam Burk of Westerly, who went to Providence Thursday to attend court These twins are so much alike that their presence may be confusing to the court officers in case the one is sent to the jury room and the other excused from a special panel. The Burk brothers are of about the same size and weight, dress practically the same. and their general appearance is so similar that even their intimate friends have difficulty in distinguish ing one from the other
 Henry is frequently mistaken for William, and vice versa, and a com mon remark of the pair is: Guess you take me for my brother." They are generally referred to as 'one of the Burk brotkers,'' rarely as Henry Burk or William Burk.
