On the main road from Bradford to Ouanocontaug, and not far from the place where David NcG. NeWell was held up by hishwaymen and relieved of S1.200 in cash, whe1 on his way to his granite plant to paS his employees An tone Magnet was held up by three before midnight. Ele was riding his bicycle towards his Rome in Bradford when he was halted in lonely spot. Those who held up Antoue declared they had been waiting for him to come along and were going to Fix him. One of the men brandished knife and then Autone started on a run at top speed, one of the men Elischarging a revolver before he had Fun many feet. The bullet did not strike Antone and he kept on running, but he says he does not know whether or not he was pursued.
 He ran direct 10 the home of Con stable John Catto, aroused him from bed and reported his experience. He was too exhausted to return t0 the scene of the holdup. Constable Catto, with a friend started out on tour of Investigation. They found the bicycle by the side of the road and brought it to Bradford, but could find no trace of the trio who threatened Antone Mag neti.
 The officer is of the opinion that the holdup was more a case of jealousy of young lady that Antone had been visiting rather than a desire to rob Antone or do him bodily harm.

Mr Perkins said the company had several plans for the general improve ment of the trolley service in Westerly, al of which would come in due time, but pending the proposed changes, the company would endeavor to give the best possible service under the exist ing conditions Later on it is probable that plans will be made to make it possible for cars of the Groton and Stonington road to come into West crly and run direct to Watch Hill or Weekapaug. without the inconvenience of running into Dixon square for the purpose of switching. To this end, and to accommodate standard cars of all lines. and get the best of service, it will be necessary to connect the Grot- on and Stonington road direct with the main line in Main street, which can be done by curying at Ciark's corner. and also to make changes in the existing curved tracks between High and Main streets lt was the tenor of MT. Per kins' talk that the companies he rep resented were desirous of giving the very best possible service and that ob- 1ect could be achieved by the CO., operation of the members of the town council and tho people of Westerly Shelters were to be erected at Variety vile and Thompson's corners and terminal station at Weekapaug.

 Mr. Perkins said that special effort was being made to have ths cars op- ersted to Weekspaug by July A. He was of the opinion that this extension would carry with it electric light ser vice. He said in exchange for courte- sies the Westerly Light and Power company would have permission to use the pole line of the trolley company, and suggested that the town provide lights along the line of extension. He said the charter of the company pre- vented the sale of electricity and that 1t would not be fair to the local light ing company to give the light to the town or to individuals.

EXPLOSIONS
AT KEYP0RT
Sewer System Filled With
Casino One Hurt.
specia1 to tho EYENINq NnWs.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, March 9.~-Many resi-
dents Of this place experienced a
narrow escape from Injury yesterday
when illuminating gas collected in
the sewer system and blew the tops
of threero If the ,manholes several feet
in the air. To prevent a similar oc-
currenee the officials today ordered
every manhole to be uncovered to
permit the gas to escape This plan
will be adopted until Monday. Resi-
dences were shaken and windows
broken by the force of the, explosions
which sent the heavy iron coverings
in the air.
At the time of the explosion Engi-
neer ID. G. Weber, Mayor Warn, and
Anthony Bedle, superintendent of
Public Works, were making a final
inspection Of the sewer system at
Brow's Point. Lighted paper WAS
thrown into the sewer openings to
burn off the small amount of gas
which should collect. To the sur
prise Of the party when they placed
lighted paper in the trenches a loud
report was heard, followed by a
rumbling all about the city and three
OF the manholes were blown open.
The authorities are of the opinion
that defective gas pipes are directly
responsible for the fumes collecting
In the sewer system, causing damage
as Ii has in the past month.
