SlDl0 to QO puS1neSS Tn elLner clIy ana return the same day. The freight ser vice of one train daily. from each way, has changed to several trans, and the amount of freight multiplied many times.
 For all these progressive and im- important changes the board heartily extends thanks to MT. Mellen and his road, also to Edwin Miner. a former townsman, and Connecticut director, and to Robert W. Taft summer res- ident and Rhode Island director, who have taken especial interest in Wes- terly's welfare. The courtesy of Supt. U. A. Droege and General Passenger Agent A. B. Smith is also gratefully acknowledged.
 There is considerable commeticn among the state national guardsmen occasioned by the proposition that has been sent from the office of the ad- jutant general to- the governor, which suggests doing away with the two regiment, or two artillery district plan and in place of two separate bodies of IT companies, to have one of F companies. The reason given for the proposed change is that it is i'm practicable to keep two districts up to the proper standard. It Is under Sl0Ou tHdL Ill lhS event o1 lu0 cOA-
 selidatiea. the First district, which includes the Westerly company, will remain intact, and that the super f1uous companies to be disbanded would be all frem the present Second district. It is stated that the con- solidated district would be under the command Of Colonel Fiilinghast, of the First district. and that the field officers would be retained.
 The verdict of the jury was favor able to the Locustville WooIen com pany in the suit against Rusch & Co. in the United States district court at Providence, with an award of 8, 300. The defendant sold the plain tiff some cotton yarn, which turned not take the dye after it had been woven into cloth. The Locustville company had 2.600 yards of this cloth that was unsaleable, and sued for the value of the cloth.
 Ira 3. crandall, of Westerly, is the
 president of the Board of Pulpit Supply and Ministerial Employment of the Seventh Day Baptist denomina- ton. Frank Hill of Ashaway is re- cording secretary. and Rev. A. B. Saunders is one of the corresponding secretaries. The work of the board is to help pastorless churches in ob- taining pastors and employment for unemployed minister's The board does not obtrude information, help or ad- vice upon any church or person, but gives 1t when asked, Messrs. Gran dal1, Hill and Saunders, on account of being located near each other, con- stitute the working force of the board. The members of the Westerly town council in response to legal summons were in the supreme court at Provi- dence Wednesday, to show cause why the petition of Harvey c, Perry, pres- ident of ths Citizens No-License com mittee, for writ of eertierari should not be granted, The petition was brought in order that. the final de- cisfon of the vote on the liquor liz cense question would be with the court and not the town council of Westerly. At the official count the rulings in every instance save one were based upon the established rules of the state returning board and it is believed i these rulings will be sustained by the
 court. The one exception was a bal ! lot without the customary printed mattes and upon which the electoI
 wrote yes, there being no space for l aR X. No case of this nature ever
 came Up for ruling by the state re- turning board.
