40 Hours Devotion Ends.

The Forty Hours Devotion which began at St. James R. c. church Sun day morning at the 10;S0 o'clock mass closed this morning at 7:30 o'clock when mass was said and there was a procession of all the children of the parish. Many members of the parish received the Holy communion at the two masses this morning, at 5:SO and T:30 o'clock, and many also received at the masses yesterday morning. The altar was beautifully decorated with flowers and lighted candles all during the devotions and the church was open all day Sunday and Monday. More people took part in the devo- tions this year than ever before in the history of the parish.
 Double Tracks on East Broadway.
 The main topic of interest around the town just at present is the Ques- ton of the double tracking of East Broadway from Main street to the point where the double tracks of the Connecticut company on East Broad way near Elm street begin. The mat ter will come up at a special meeting of the citizens of the town which has been called by the selectmen of the town tomorrow evening, and the mat ter will be thoroughly threshed out at this meetinf.
 The opinion is very much divided Dn the matter. The people living on East Broadway do not want any more tracks laid on that thoroughfare and think that if another track has got to be laid it should be laid through Judson place, one street south of East Broadway. The people living on Judson Place think it would be non sensical to run one track through East Broadway and another through Judson Place. As long as one track is already laid on East Broadway they think the other track might just as well be laid there also. The trolley company, it is understood, prefers 10 double track East Broadway and would agree to lay it's tracks so that It would only be necessary to molest two trees along the whole thorough fare. Whether or not the people of the town will agree to letsthe trolley company run another track through East Broadway, or through Judson Place, remains to be seen.
