the lease of the old Boston & Provi-
dence road, which states that all im-
provaments must be made at the ex-
penSe of the lessee and must revert to
the lessor without adjustment and
compensation. This provision, he said,
must be modified
AT present all the through trains
frori New York to Portland and Bar

a conclusion that broke windows more
than 100 miles away. three carloads
of dynamite exploded at the plant of

1t will be impossible for many hours

Nearly every house in the village,
which contains 700 residents, has been
badly damaged and some of them have
been utterly demolished.
Reports from the country 10 miles

even that far from the explosion were

1t is believed inevitable that many

better TO increase that difference so as TO
