George P. Smith, the, ''trolley car man," says that he proposes to extend his line to Niagara Fnlls-that he has not dropped that idea, and that "he will carry it out as soon practicable. If he makes this extension, and also build belt line here, his trolley system will be very complete, for a person could not only reach Niagara Falls oriBuffalo by means of his lines, but could be conveyed to almost every important point in (the Twin Cities, with, perhns, only one change of cars, A ser-viceablei-looking new car has lately been placed on the North Tonawanda line, i Improvements on Other Lines. Besides the i prospective improvements enumerated, the North Main Street line, the Young Street road, and the Delaware line have all been making more or-less important improvements, and are likely to add more during the coming summer. If all the improvements projected are carried out, thet.Twin Cities will have four lines to Buffalo, two itoii Niagara Falls, one belt line, and one continuous system of local lines.

Thus it -will seen that the Tonawandas may soon have earned another appellation, that of 'Trolley town." mi Justice Wallenmeier' finding. 1 Case Cansed a Sensation. The case is, in many respects, one of the most sensational iu the criminnl history of Tonawanda. Not since the Phillips riot has there been such excitement as there was to-day in the local police court.

People Took Side. The people Cook sides in the matter, and frequent bursts of applause greeted the evidence of various witnesses.
