FRIDAY, SEPT 15. her hsuband, met Mr Bial, and there was a lively war of words and some acting on the part of the dancer that was not down on the bills, and the dancer repeated her intention of finishing with the house on Saturday.

Mr Bial accepted her resignation. On Thursday night, it is said, Carmencita asked what portion of the program she was to appear in next week. Mr Bial informed her that he had accepted her resignation, and that settled it. company. Only two rested as yet.

He merely seeks to show that we can easily augment our revenue by 64,000,000 at this time when it is so much needed by an increase of internal taxes. Liquor and tobacco are taxed in both high and low protection nations abroad. That virtuous republican statesman. Senator Hawley, says that they are the legitimate plunder of the tax collector in every government of the world.

There is no occasion for discussing the merits of Mr Wells proposals at present. It suffices to say that as a scheme to supply the deficiency in the treasury it deserves the attention which this great economic thinker always invites. are about 1500 people who would he incommoded, while the objectors number but a few, all residents on Brattle st. we have cars now about every 15 minutes, hut would have them much oftener were the electrics run. At least we have been so assured by the railroad company.

Mr Cummings How many do the remonstrants number? Alderman James About six that would be directly affected. The people north of Brattle are unanimous in favor of electrics. I know that they would object very strenuously against the taking up of the tracks on Brattle st. I have talked with many of them, and the universal opinion Is in favor, as I said before, of having electric oftrs Richard L. Bissell, who lives in the Belmont district of Cambridge, also testified in favor of changing the horse car to the electric system, "There is no question as to the desirability, continued he, of electrics.

In the district in which I live are many working people. They get small wages, and as the fare on the steam train is lO cents and on the electrics but five cents, it is easy to see Where the Necessity Comes In. The number to be benefited is by far greater than the number of remonstrants. I know for a fact that the opponents to electric cars on Brattle st have gone as far as Linnean st, off North av, for signers to their petition. "Beside, the horse cars impede rapid transit over all the other lines, since the electrics cannot be run faster than the horse cars may be drawn along.

At present the West End is equipping its Watertown line for electricity, so, that with Brattle st, we would have a through line without changing cars from Newton to Boston. I claim that there is less danger in running cars over Brattle st than on Mt Auburn st. Gn Mt Auburn st we have on one side the cemetery, the Cambridge hospital and the Charles river with its muddy banks, and a long line of tenement houses on the other. The children living in those houses play In the street, while on Brattle st the houses set back from 75 to 100 feet from the street. In these places the children have plenty of yardroom to use as a playground.

"Then again, would it not he better to spare the sick in the hospital from all the noise possible? The people living on Brattle st are back so far from the street that they ill scarcely hear any noise at all. Herman Bird, president of the Cambridge citizens trade association, was next called. He said According to public sentiment I think the change is desirable. Public accommodation demands the removal of horse car lines. With the last witness the hearing was closed for the day.

Mr Sanford, after saying that he had letters from Pres Eliot of Harvard and Prof Charles Eliot Norton in remonstrance, continued the hearing until Friday, Sept 22, at 10 am. RHODE ISLAND'S DAY. Preparations Completed for a Monster Celebration at the Worlds Fair. Providence, Sept 15 The Rhode Island Worlds fair commissioner had a protracted meeting here today at the executive office of Gov Brown, and an elaborate program was arranged for the observance of Rhode Island day Oct 5 at Chicago. Gov Brown presided at todays meeting, and after a discussion of the general plan for the ceremony at the state building at the fair and the general exercises elsewhere, the following named gentlemen were Chosen a committee on ceremonies: Hon John B.

Sanborn, Col Arthur H. Watson, Col Lorrilard Spencer, Hon Lyman B. Goff and C. Sims. Pres E.

Benjamin Andrews of Brown university will deliver the opening address. Gov Brown will deliver an address of welcome. Prof Alonzo William of Brown university will be the orator of the day. Hon Nelson W. Aldrich, the senior senator from Rhode Island, and Congressman Oscar Lapham of the 1st Rhode Island congressional district will deliver addresses on behalf of the state.

An Interesting feature of the days ceremonies will be the appearance in the list of orators of Col Williams A. James of Chicago, a native of Rhode Island, who has been 24 years in the Worlds fair city. Col James will respond for the absent sons and daughters of Rhode Island. There will also be a poet for the occasion, and the names of several have been considered by the members of the Worlds fair commission and the committee on ceremonies, but no choice has yet been made. Col John C.

Wyman, the Rhode Island executive commissioner, will deliver the closing address, and a reception will take place in the evening at the Rhode Island state fair building from 8 to 10, at which the governor will receive the visitors. WOBURNS CITY BUSINESS. Common Council Has a Meeting to Clear Up the Docket. Woburn, Sept 16 In the common council last evening three members were absent. The records of previous meetings, consisting of 81 pages, were, on motion of Councilman McDonough, allowed to pass without reading.

Petitions were received from Cummings, Chute Co for a concrete walk on High st, and from R. P. Vary and others for electrio lights on Lake av.both being referred to committees. The monthly report of the overseers of the poor showed that 50 orders had been issued to 87 families of 123 persons. The resignation of Lewis F.

Whitney as one of the cemetery commissioners was read and on motion of Mr Kennedy was accented. The communication of the water commission in answer to a request of the city council for information regarding the new boiler brought out discussion. Councilman Little wanted to know what statement chairman Parkhurst had made to the aldermen. He had understood that the new boiler was to do as well as the old at less cost. He was told that that had not been accomplished.

Councilman Ellard, in reply to the president, said the water committee knew nothing about the affair; it had had no meeting. Councilman Kennedy said no information was imparted by the communication, and on his motion the matter was sent to the table. The report of the finance committee inexpedient to raise money for highways was recommitted. The order establishing the salary of the Inspector of provisions was adopted, and that reducing the salaries of certain city officials was laid over. Jamaica Plain Wedding Reception.

A brilliant wedding reception took place last evening at the home of Mr E. C. Regestein, Bolster st, Jamaica Plain. The house was beautifully decorated with palms and potted plants.

Pretty Cecelia Weston Returns Home. Burnini of Tleater BeveaM Her MereaBouts.

Belle of Middle Village Had Her Own Way. Selena McMurray Wants Alimony and Divorce. Carmencita Asked for a Carpet, but Cot a Rug. New York, Sept 15 Cecilia was a Greek slave and contented to remain so. It was eight months ago that Cecilia Weston, a pretty 18-year-old Newark girl, disappeared from her home In Central av, near Broad st.

Her parents, who are in comfortable circumstances, notified the police and also advertised a reward, but Cecilias whereabouts remained unknown to them. The Westons had given up their daughter as lost to them forever, when on Monday last they read -in a Newark paper of the fire which destroyed Bennetts Casino in East New York. The Forrest burlesque troupe was playing in the Casino at the time of the fire, and Cecilias name was mentioned as one of the performers. The girl, who is of slender build and dark complexion, had been enacting the character of a Greek slave in the play on the boards of the Casino, It seems that immediately after she left her home she joined the troupe, which was then at a Coney Island resort, At the Casino in east New York she had been performing for three weeks. Mr and Mrs Weston appeared at the 17th precinct station yesterday morning and acquainted Capt Gorman with the fact that they had located their daughter and wished to have her compelled to accompany them to Newark.

The captain sent for Cecelia, who was occupying a furnished room at 16 Alabama av. Cecilia, said the captain, after the girl had coolly greeted her mother, hadnt yon better give up the stage and go home where you have been so tenderly reared? I guess not, she replied, with a toss of her head. "Im making money now, and Im better off than I was at home. Im my own boss and nobody can knock me around. Mr Weston resented the Implied insinuation of his daughter that she bad not been treated well at home.

This led to a rather extended argument, during which Cecilia intimated that her mother had not always been good-natured with her. Mrs Westons angerarose at she talked very plainly to her daughter, whose tears finally fell freely. "Ill never, never go home again, exclaimed the excited girL She wanted to leave the station at once, but was detained by the captain, who talked in a fatherly way to her about her duty in the mattei. Mr Weston, who is a kindly looking man, joined in this, and eventually the girl decided that she would go home. All then left the station on apparently good terms.

MARRIED BY MOONLIGHT. Belle of Middle Village Was Given Her Own Way. New York, Sept 15 When John Para-dies of this city won a bride in Middle village, he wanted the marriage performed in a New York church, but she said No, and so it happened that they were wedded the moonlight among the dead in a little temple around which rose hundreds of tombstones. Helen Fayen was the belle of Middle village when John Paradies made a journey to that quiet place. She was the most zealous worker of little Trinity church in the heart of the Lutheran cemetery.

The marriage day was set, and Paradies hinted that he would like to be married in New York, but Helen was still loyal to Middle village and its graveyard church, and remarked that she would not he married anywhere else. The tombstones did not frighten her. So the graveyard church was brilliantly lighted and beautifully decorated for the event, and the bride, dressed white silk and crowned with a wreath of orange blossoms, entered the church with her mother, and the bridegroom on his brothers arm followed. The knot was tied and the couple started for Niagara. BENT HER TO AN ASYLUM.

Now Mrs McMurray Asks for Alimony and an Absolute Divorce. New York, Sept 15 Selena McMurray asks for alimony and fees in her suit for absolute divorce from Joseph McMurray. The case came up in supreme court yesterday. Mrs McMurray in her affidavit makes the charge that in order to get rid of her, her husband had her committed to the Morristown insane asylum. She says she was not insane, but was held fornearlva year when her husband agreed to allow her her liberty if she would leave New York and never come back.

She consented, but has recently learned that her husband has been living for several years with Nellie Howard. Mr McMurray denies his charge of infidelity, and says his wife was insane and he sent her to Europe for her good. The only living child. Joseph, says his father taught him to believe that bis mother was dead, and told him to call Nellie Howard mother. He says he met his mother one day, and when he became of age li6 left home and went to his mother and offered to testify for her.

CARMENCITA GOT A BUG. As a Consequence the Agile Dancer Broke Her Engagement. New York, Sept 15 Carmencita, the agile, will dance no more at Koster Bials after tomorrow evening. The trouble began about a week ago, when the fair Spanish dancer, who is really Mine Pablo Echapare, her husband being a Mexican, asked for a new carpet for her dressing room. Stage manager Wilson gallantly offered to place a nice rug where the carpet was worn.

This was not what she wanted, and she immediately fiew into a passion. Mr Wilson says she came at him like a regular Spanish cyclone, and he thought she was going to eat him up. On Tuesday evening Carmencita came in very much excited, and notified business manager Cline that she would finish her labors on Saturday, Soon after Carmencita. accompanied by Railroad Commission Hearing on It. West Enil Inst Prove Brattle St Line Needed.

Pres Eliot and Prof C. E. Norton Object. Hundreds of Signatures to Roads Petition. Whole Testimony Must Again Be Taken.

The railroad commissioners gave a hearing this morning at 20 Beacon st on the petition of the West End street railway company for approval of the location for tracks on Concord av and Huron st, Cambridge The company further prayed for the right to establish and maintain its overhead electric system in the operation of its cars in the streets named, and also on Garden, Brattle and Mt Auburn sts, as granted by the hoard of aldermen of Cambridge. Permission is additionally prayed for that the company may make underground and surface alterations in said streets, and erect and mainfain poles, wires and electrical appliances necessary to establish and maintain an electric system of motive power. In other words, it is the old Brattle st fight transferred to Boston. The Cambridge aldermen, after many long and tiresome hearings, finally granted the railroad company the location mentioned. The petition was to obtain the ratification of the action of the board of aldermen, hut the Brattle st remonstrants, evidently determined to fight the matter while an opportunity for fighting remained, appeared in opposition.

They were represented by Messrs. J. B. Warner, Joseph G. Thorp Jr, Albert M.

Barnes, Senator John Read and others. City Solicitor Mclntlre appeared for the city of Cambridge. -The only contention this morning was on the question of granting the West End the privilege of operating electric cars on Brattle and Craigie sts. No opposition was raised in regard to the other streets named in the petition. Mr J.

B. Warner opened in the interest of the remonstrants, saying: After the petition is in, Mr Chairman, I trust, as many of the remonstrants are at present out of town, that we May Have Further Time, The matter is of great interest to as as well as to the city." J. G. Thorp Jr and Senator John Read also said that at the proper time they would have something to say. Chairman Sanford said that the commissioners would go on with the hearing as far as possible this morning, whereupon Vice Pres Cummings of the West End read the petition and the order of the aldermen granting the locations under discussion.

Mr Cummings then went on to sustain the position of the road by reading short extracts from various acts of the legislature in regard to the granting of locations and the maintaining and operating of electrio cars. Mr Sanford said that the matter appeared to him at this stage of the proceedings to be twofold: First, approving loca tions in new streets, and secondly, author izing the use of electricity as a motive power, To my mind. said he, this will open up the whole question again. Mr Cummings continuing, said: The tracks on Brattle, Craigie and Mt Auburn sts were built in 1856 or 1857, and care have been running there ever since. When we were first given the right to operate our cars in Cambridge with electricity they included all Btreets upon which we then had tracks.

Brattle st and Craigie st were among them. After this the board, considering that it might have acted hastily, rescinded the order and passed another, which in effect was that we might operate with electricity only such lines as we then had been using it on. "Now the residents of Mt Auburn have for a long time been asking for the extension of the electric system to them. The Brattle st folks objected, and now we are running a line of horse cars mixed in with the electric cars. On receiving a petition signed by At Least 1900 People, living not on Brattle st, but upon streets leading 'therefrom, we asked for a location there.

We filed our petition, and after protracted hearings the board of aldermen voted us the right to operate electrio cars on Mt Auburn, Craigie and Brattle sts. This order was vetoed by the mayor, after which the board passed the order as it now appears before you. In other words, we have been granted locations in addition to Mt Auburn, Craigie and Brattle sts locations on Concord av, Garden and Huron sts. The granting of the locations by the hoard of aldermen, after hearing all that could be said for and against, to my mind makes a prima facie case. General manager Sergeant at this point explained what ground alterations would be made, namely, new rails of the 6-inch girder character with wires.

In other words, said he, We propose to lay anew the tracks on the old locations. We-also propose to erect poles distant from each other 125 feet. The trolley wires will be 19 feet 6 inches from the streets, and the guard wires 8 inches higher. Mr Sanford In a word, you mean the single overhead trolley system? Mr Sergeant Yes, sir. Roadmaster Richard Hapgood was next called upon, and gave some information in regard to the middle of the streets.

Solicitor Mclntire said that he was willing to rest the ease at this point in view of the action of the board of aldermen. Mr Sanford The burden of proof rests with vou. It is your place to prove the necessity of introducing the electric system upon those streets. Mr Mclntire If we had known that we might have had witnesses present this morning, but believing that the action of the aldermen was in itself a prima facie case.we did not deem it necessary to call in any this morning. We can furnish any number of them later on, should the board desire to hear them.

Mr Sanford I think you are bound to prove here all that was proven before the board of aldermen. We are to Pass Upon Our Own Interpretation of the necessity of having the electric system operated, and give or withhold our approval of the order before us. In other words, we want to know the' wholb situation. It is not necessary to bring a number of witnesses here. One intelligent witness will be as good as 20 others.

Mr Mclntire Well, if we pat on one witness and the other side put on eight we would lose our case. If the same limitations are observed on the other side I will not object. On Mr Sanford sanctioning this the city solicitor called upon Alderman James of ward 1 to make a statement. Alderman James said: I live on Lake View av. There are 40 or 60 families living there at present, all of whom desire the electric cars.

We have to change cars at Harvard sq because few of us want to ride to Boston on the horse cars. If the electric cars are run over Mt Auburn Bt our people will have to walk about twice the distance. It would be a great hardship to us to have the cars taken off Brattle st.

It appears to be cause for congratulation certain republican circles that Gov McKinley's campaign in Ohio was opened with prayer. Whenever a doubtful or dangerous enterprise is abont to be undertaken prayer is Undoubtedly most fitting and appropriate.

We trust that the managers of the coming canvass in this state fully realize this fact, and. that they will see that the McKinley example is followed when the successor of Allen and Haile begins his round of speeches. And, by the by, it would not be at all out of place for the republican state committee to begin at once to pray for harmony in the party councils. It is needed badly enough.

The Navahoe was a long time in sailing to success, but she has unquestionably arrived, and congratulations are certainly in order all around. DEGENERATE PEERS, Into what the British peerage has largely degenerated is seen in the account of how the new comers entertained themselves last week while waiting to vote on the home rule bill. While the debate was going on some 60 of me luds stayed in the refreshment looms. Finding the cuisine of the commons not good enough for their lordly tastes, several sent for their own cooks, wines and meats.

One peer gave a dinner prepared by his own chef and served on his own plate by hi own servants. Not one in ten of this sort of pampered idiots had any idea of what the details of Mr Gladstones bill were. They simply knew that they had been summoned to vote against it. Whoneed fear that this sort of privileged chaff will in the end weigh heavily against the representatives of the vast machinery which makes Britain a great commercial and industrial power? HON DAVID A WELLS ON TAXATION. The report of Hon David A.

Wells, presented to Sec Carlisle, on the available resources to the treasury to be derived from internal taxes on distilled spirits, malt liquors and tobacco is very timely and a valuable contribution to the literature of the subject of taxation. The republican policy of the past few years has been to increase tariff duties and decrease internal revenue taxes. The party leaders have uniformly scouted at any proposal to modify that policy. It is nevertheless true that revenue taxes on liquors have been in vogue since the beginning of the government, a whisky tax having been passed as early as 1791. The tax dropped out in 1847, but the policy of internal taxes was resumed at the opening of the civil war, to be gradually crowded out by the policy of infinite tariff taxation.

Wells Is not advocating a wholesale NO HARMONY EXISTS. Julius Berliner Wants His Marriage to Sophie Annulled. New York, Sept 16 Julius Berliner wants his marriage to Sophie Berliner annulled because she was not divorced from her former husband when he married her, and for the further reason that she has been unfaithful to him, which he promises to prove. He charges improper conduct with ascertain Dr Slate of Brooklyn and with various other men. A motion for alimony and counsel fees will be made before Justice Ingraham today by Mrs Berliner's lawyer.

The affidavit upon which this application Is based sets forth that Berliner had been married before and that she was divorced, and that he knew all about her previous marriage and divorce. She says he gave up his business and made her support him, and that he abandoned her last April. He afterward returned and appropriated her personal property, and she alleges that he drew 900 from the State and Bowery savings banks, and half of it was her money. Berliner says his wife acknowledged that she had been unfaithful and then he left her, and that she was also abusive, and once tried to stab him. The wife denies the charges of infidelity.

SORRY HE DIDNT DIE. Frank Falxner Pleads Guilty to the Charge of Attempted Suicide. New York. Sept 15 Frank Palmer, 25 years old, a painter, pleaded guilty in the Butler st police court, Brooklyn, this morning, to thq charge of attempting to take his own life. He was held for the grand jury.

Palmer was found on the floor of a flat on 11th st by the janitor last night bleeding profusely from a bad cut across the left wrist. Palmer was removed to the hospital and soon regained consciousness. In giving his reasons for his acts he said he was very much attached to Fanny Finning, who lives in the house in which he was found bleeding. He said he had quarrelled with her. The quarrel was the result of Miss Finn-ings discovery that Palmer was mamed.

Palmer was completely infatuated with the woman, and nis only regret, he said, was that the attempt on his life was unsuccessful. SUES CHARLEYS PAPA. New York Woman Want $100,000 for the Alienation of Her Husband. New York. Sept 15 The young woman who claims Charles F.

Bates as her husband, not only wants a divorce from Charley, but also will sue for 100,000 cash from his wealthy papa, so her lawyers Baid this morning. The suit is to be brought in the supreme court. It is stated that the defendant, knowing that said Chas. F. Bates was the husband of the plaintiff, and wrongfully contriving and intending to injure the plaintiff and to deprive her of her husbands comfort, protection, society, aid and support, wilfully, wrongfully and maliciously, by threats, persuasions and offers of money, sought to induce and procure the said Chas.

F. Bates to abandon the plaintiff and live apart from her.

Gould appeared for the petitioners and Hon D. F. Kimball for the Chelsea gas company. Mayor Converse was the first witness. He said there had been many complaints made to him in regard to the price of and the quality of the gas furnished by the gas company.

In answer to a question from Mr Kimball he said he knew a majority of the directors of the company. They were residents of Chelsea and were good business men. J.

Jersey City, Sept 15 Warrants have been issued for the arrest of nine collectors EDITORIAL POINTS, The Navahoe has won a cup! A foaming schooner in her honor now 1 Hock 1 Money is easy now, they say, but lots of people still find it tolerably hard to get.

Maybe Boston isnt a literary center anymore although we dont admit it in the least but the world is always glad to buy her bonds. Mr Carroll has won the Bren tons reef cup, but, judging by the pictures of it, he couldnt drink a drop out of it to save his life. Heresy trials are great breeders of heretics.

The officers of the French navy are getting a warm welcome, but just wait until some more Swiss frigates come sailing into port! All the letter carriers are going to doff their straw hats Monday.

Summer may be regarded as definitely over, then. Zimmerman has learned the old truth that no man can make a record which some other man can not break.

Massachusetts captures eight of the marine awards at Chicago Honors are easy in this matter between the commonwealth and her offspring, the Dirigo state.

Onr Gallic guests found a gentlemanly and urbane secretary in charge at city hall yesterday, even if the fates did decree that no acting mayor should be within call. Gov McKinleys demand for the repeal of the Sherman act may not be particularly fiery, but it is to be remembered that he warmly eulogized it some time ago. Besides it is a clear case of high protection that gives the silver kings their monopoly. That New York millionaire who disguised himself as a street musician and earned seven cents as the result of a days tramp will be apt to reward the organ grinder who next comes his way with a coin more substantial than a nickel SONG.
