BUYING MORE TROLLEY LINES?
New Haven Reported TO Be After
Road at Burlington.

Burlington. April 6.-What appears
to be another move on the part of the
New Haven system to get in posi-
ton to compete with the Central Yer
mont railway has come to light here,
Since the conference here last Friday
between officials of the Central Yer
mont and Rutland roads it has been
rumored that the Rutland which is
owned by the New Haven had made
overtures of J. j. Flynn, owner of
the Military Post street railway, look
ing to the purchase of the line be-
tween Burlington and Essex Junction.
Mr.. Flynn did not deny the report,
but said he had nothing to give out
for publication at this time.
The Military Post runs from the
Central Vermont station in Essex
Junction through Fort Ethan Allen
and Winooski to this city, the termi-
nal being the Central Vermont sta
ton. The traffic is heavy as many
people leave the steam cars at Essex
and come over on the electrics as ii
is quicker
If the New Haven, through the Rut-
land, gains control of the road it will
get another feeder into Central Yer
mont territory similar to the one ac-
quired by the purchase of the Mont
pelier & Wells River road and the
Barre Branch and Barre railroad.

VIII Keep Her a Little While
Cape Girardeau, Mo, April C.
Twelve girl students at the state nor
NAL school here have adopted tenn
porarily, Baby Brewster a pretty
six months old child, whose mother
died a week ago. While giving a con
cert at the mission building, where
homeless children are kept, the girls
saw the baby and lost their hearts
They begged the privilege OF taking
her to their dormitory for a few days.
Each girl was certain she alone
was able to care for the infant pro-
perly so the matter of the little ones
sleeping apartment came near caus-
ing a mutiny. 1t was finally agreed
the baby should be allowed to remain
with them all. Connecting doors be-
tween two large rooms were thrown
open and beds arranged that the cot
of Baby" Brewster might be seen
from every one during her stay

Dynamite Exploded Under New Spring

field Building-Little Damage
Springfield, Mass, April Am at
tempt to blow up the tower OF the
new Municipal Group OF buildings
early this morning with dynamite re-
suited in very slight damage. The
contractor said tonight that 100 bricks
and a few hours work would put it in
as good shape as ever.
The explosion tore hole in the
base OF the tower. This hole is about
four feet in diameter on the outside
and tapers to diameter OF three feet
or less on the inside The police sta
tion, which is only four feet distant
from the spot where the explosive
was inserted, had its west windows
blown in and some OF the plastering
IN the detention room fell, burying a
Polish prisoner, The Polander al
though badly frightened. was not hurt.
The tower is massive structure
and aside from the small fissure in
the abutment, shows no sign OF the
force of the explosion.
Labor troubles are limited at as pro-
badly the reason for the explosion, al
though the authorities do not know
just what grievance the workmen had
against the construction company. 1t
is recalled that about six months ago
Peter Bowman, foreman for the COM
pany, that is constructing the tower,
had personal encounter with some
structural steel workmen. The pol
ice have theory that perhaps one
Of these workmen in the hope of
avenging a private grudge, may have
caused the explosion.
Five hundred dollars reward is Of
fered by the city for the arrest and
conviction Of the persons responsible
for the explosion.

GRAND TRUNK SHOWS ITS HAND
New EnsIsnA Terminal viii Ee on
Narragansett Bay.

Narragansett Bay.
Providence. r. L., April 6.-By its
action in applying to the State Lesis-
lature for certain notifications in the
charter OF the Southern New England
Railway Company, the Grand Trunk
has showed its hand and practically
disclosed the proposed location Of its
tidewater terminal in Rhode Island.
The more important charter changes
requested indicate that the terminal
tracks of the branch line which the
Grand Trunk intends to establish
here will probably touch tidewater on
the west shore Of Narragansett Bay
within the limits of the city of Provi-
dence and not far from the so-called
Harbor Junction terminal of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail
road, whose tracks the Grand Trunk
now ask the privilege Of crossing at
grade
These developments in the Grand
Trunk situation coupled with the al
most simultaneous action of the
State Harbor improvement Commits
sion in proceeding to condemn, under
the right of eminent domain, lands on
the west side of Providence River for
the purpose Of constructing State
docks and building a bonded ware
house, etc, are certain to have a
most important bearing on the prob
lem of freight transportation both by
rail and water.
John S. Murdoch, counsel for the
Grand Trunk in its efforts to obtain
a firm foothold in Rhode Island,
caused to be introduced in the House
of Representatives Tuesday an act
providing for certain noteworthy
amendments in the charter of the
Southern New England Railway Com.

A PHlLANTEROPIST.
Having GiveniAway His
$6,000,000 Dr.! r.!PearSOns
Calmly Awaits
End.

Last week was completed the retire
ment of DR.. D. K. Pearsons, the great
Chicago philanthropist, who has made
the benefactions of Rockefeller, Car
negie and others look, in proportion,
petty. While they only give por-
tion Of their vast income, DR.. Pear
cons has practically freed himself of
his entire fortune, S6,0OO,0o0. Early
last week be went into retirement at
the Holiday sanitarium with only an
income of $4,000 year to supply his
needs the remainder of his life. He
was 81 years old April II.
There is but one transaction that DR..
Pearsons has to close before he leaves.
Today, or b, Wednesday at least, he
will put up his beautiful estate at
Hinesdale at auction. The highest
bidder will get the house and contents.
Following this act, DR.. Pearsons will
enter the sanitarium, and in the soci-
ETY. of a few chosen friends will await
the end Of his career. DR.. Pearsons'
health las been remarkably good, and
he proposes to take the best care of
himself and to be constantly under
the scrutiny of physicians.
In the company of friends, reading,
walking ana watching the growth Of
the institutions he has founded or en-
dowed, are to be his amusements. DR..
Pearsons characterizes the sum he has
given TO the colleges as his debts.
when my house is sold,' he de-,
clared, "ard my last debt is paid, I
shall have leea my own executor, ana
shall have closed my estate entirely.
There will be no dispuse after I have
gone; that is what I want to be sure
of. I propose to get ahead of my
friends, Rockefeller and Carnegie,
and make provisions for a complete
cleanup"
His advice to young men who are
ambitious to reach the ripe old age is:
Keep the ten commandments.

hours. g. I J.

~CAROLINA."

The despot treads thy sacred sands,
Thy pines give shelter to his bands,
Thy sons stand by with idle hands,
Carolina!
Thy ancient fame is growing dim, =,
A spot is on thy garments rim;
Give to the winds thy battle hymn,
Carolina!
Call on thy children of the hill,
Wake swamp and river, coast and rill,
Rouse all thy strength and all thy skill,
Carolina!
Hold up the glories Of thy dead;
Say now thy elder children bled,
And point to Eataw's battle-bed,
Carolina!
Tell how the patriots soul was tried,
And what his dauntless breast defed;
How Rutledge ruled and Laurens died,
Cardinal!
Cry! till thy summons, heard at last,
Shall fall like Marion's bugle-glast
Re-echoed from the haunted Past,
Carolina!
I hear murmur as of waves
That grope their way through sunless
caves,
Like bodies struggling in their graves,
Cardinal!
And now it deepens; slow and grand
It swells, as, rolling to- the land,
An ocean troke upon thy strand,
Carolina!
Shout! let it reach the startled Huns!
And roar with all thy festal guns,
1t is the answer Of thy sons,
Cardinal
They will not wait to hear thee call;
From Sachem's Head to Sumter's wall,
Resounds the voice of hut and hall,
Carolina!
Fling down thy gauntlet to the Huns,
And roar the challenge from thy guns;
Then leave the future to thy sons,
Carolina!

in failing to recognize that newspa-
