North Side Will Be Carried
Into BrOOk-Dam Will
Be Removed
GETTING READY TO
BUILD OVERPASS
-Four Tracks to Enter Station, Which
Necessitates Materially Widening
Milestone Arch - Filling North of
the Arch

1t is the intention of the contrac-
tors to begin work in the immediate
future on the overpass on Bridge
street, and to that end the Twin State
Gas & Electric company has removed
one big pole on the north side of
Bridge street within a few DAYS, and
another at the corner of Bridge and
Main streets is to be removed at once.
The plans call for Strengthening
Bridge street materially 50 that the
wall on the north side viii be iii what
| is about the middle Of MILESTONE
brook and cut the present old useless
dam about in two. The dam will be
removed.
| Four tracks Will come into the new
railroad station, two of the Central
Vermont and two of the Boston &
Maine, the latter on the river side Of
the new station. which is to be at the
foot of what is now Bridge street hill
west of the grade crossing and extend
ing into what Is now Il part of Bridge
street. The necessity of widening
Milestone arch materially thus be
comes evident.
Between the two tracks of each of
the railroads viii he long platforms
rooted over, extending both to the
south and to the north of the station
proper and reached from the over
Ipass by elevators as well as by flights
of stairs The platforms to the north
will extend well over MILESTONE arch
and to point opposite the American
building annex.
The moving of Vernon street many
feet to the west will leave 4 long
wide strip of land available for now
industries that require trackage and
sidings for the conduct Of their bust
ness to the best of advantage, and
these are called for on the plans
There is still a large amount Of fill
ing to be done north of the arch to
give the Boston & Maine road road
way wide enough for the double track
to the north, and teams and ears are
unloading both rock and dirt constant

Four HundredMen and WOm-
en- Battled Against Flames
Near Chatham
FLAMES SWEPT OVER
TWENTY SQUARE MILES
Stopped on the Edge of the Camp
Meeting Reservation Near Yarmouth
Fortunately Only a Few Outbuild-
ings Were Destroyed

CHATHAM, Mass, August 6.-An
all-night fight by 400 men and women
against the forest fire which threaten
ed to destroy the Methodist camp
ground at Yarmouth met with success
early today, when the flames were con
trolled at the very edge of the reser-
vation. Only a few outbuildings were
destroyed, and as the 20 square miles
burned over was mainly brush land
the monetary loss will be small. A
few families living at the camp ground
vacated their cottages during the night
in the expectation that the flames
would reach their property. The alb
sence of wind aided the fire fighters
greatly in subduing the flames.

Mr.. Smith rose. pulled on the conven'

that individual packing up the silver.

Smith.

The burglar shut OF his pocket cleo

reached the street safely and tore
down that thoroughfare. On the way
the burglar presumably threw away
his electric lamp and whatever otner
tools of his trade he possessed. When
the running pair came In sight OF
one OF Mr.. Waldo's policemen on peg
post it was the burglar who ciaspeo
the astonished officer about the
knees. "Help!" said the burglar, I'm.
pressively, "a nutty guys cnasin

There was no help for 1t. The OF
ficer took the burglar and Mr.. smith
to the station house. There the
burglar was searched, but nothing IN
eliminating was found. Early the
next morning a lawyer appeared fol
the burglar. and when he was ar
raigned in court he was discharged
because Smiths Identification wal

sure of his man-but the lawyer
rather shook his certainty. In tn'
meantime no lawyer appeared fol
Smith. He spent the night In TN

him over on $1,000 to appear befor'
