WALKS FINISHED IN ESTEYVILLE. Sub-grading In Swedevllle In Process Special Town Meeting Next Monday to Discuss Need of More Funds. A good attendance Is expected at the special town meeting Monday evening at 8 o'clock, which has been called to discuss the question of empowering the sidewalk commission to lay wider side walks In several parts of the town. The reasons for calling the meeting were printed In The Phoenix last week. The members of the commission, J.

E. Mel-len, C. A. Harris nnd J. l.

Stockwell, do not know whether It will be necessary to nsk for nn additional appropriation to lay the wider walks. Mr. Mcl-len said last evening that sidewalks three and a half feet wide would be of sufficient width on many of the streets In place of the four-foot walks which were asked for In the call of the special town meeting. It has been suggested that the commission now serving be given the power to secure loans up to the sum. of $5000, providing additional money Is needed, to add to the width of the walks and It Is thnt a motion to that effect will be made Monday evening, If the article to build wider walks Is voted on favorably, During the week J.

C. Connors, who Is building the walks, has finished the Ksteyvllle section. Although the original plans were to have all the walks In this section three feet In width, many of them have been laid three and a half feet, four feet, and four and a half feet, the majority being three and a half feet. In all about 1360 feet of walks have been laid In the three weeks since Mr. Connors started his men at work.

The commission have engaged Oeorgo A. Llttlefleld as inspector and he supervises the work when Mr. Mel-len Is not present. Today the work of sub-grading In "Swedevllle" will be begun. There are seyen streets In that locality on which walks, will be laid and Mr.

Connors will begin, work on them tomorrow. SPORTING. "Danny" Owens of Roxbury, Joined the Islanders yesterday. He Is a right hander and until a few weeks ago was with the Lowell team of the New England league. In the seasons of 1910 and 1911 he twirled for the Des Moines team of the Western league and although his team finished next to the last both years, "Danny" won more than his share of the games.

fe and "Mike" O'Toole played together In the Worcester team of tho New England league In 190S and 1909. The Roxbury lad has speed to burn according to his former team-mate. Everybody who has seen Twin State leaue games supposed Capt. Snell of Urown University was playing with Brattleboro and under this assumption It is rather amusing to read the follow ing from the Boston Globe of Wednesday, anent the I3oston-St. Louis game: "Harry Stovall sent young Snell, this senson's Urown university catcher, Into a part of the second game against the Red Sox yesterday.

Harry I'attee's pro tege, who also had been taught a thing or two about catching by Fred Wood cock, was a little nervous, and showed It when he missed an easy foul fly. Later, however, he made a pretty play at the plate, shiftily putting the ball Into Tris Speaker, who had tried to score from second base on a short bunt played to first." Woman's Club Concert Next Thursday. Owing to repairs ibelng made at the Auditorium, It has been necessary to secure the Baptist church for the concert to be given by Mr, Arthur Philips, Thursday evening, Aug. 22, under the auspices of the Brattleborw Woman's club. Mr.

Philips has a powerful baritone voice of great sweetness, and much dramatic ability. He has been singing In London during the past winter, at the London house, and will re turn for another season. He will be as sisted by Mrs. Frederlka Philips, a read er of very charming personality, and by Mrs. Samuel Walker, an extremely brilliant pianist.

Members of the club are canvassing the town with tickets, and they also will be on sale at the Brooks House pharmacy. Burglary at South Vernon.

E. MANN BUILDING VERMONT ABUTMENT. Concrete Work at Railroad Bridge Started Today Change In Plan of Building Three West Piers. Beginning today, concrete Is being I placed Inside the cofferdam for the Brat tleboro abutment for the Boston Maine railroad bridge across the Con necticut river south of the Central Ver mont railroad yard. The work of driv ing the dam into the ground, pumping out the water with a powerful steam pump and excavating down to hardpan has been In progress two or three ueeks, along with other work.

Sev eral hundred yards of concrete will be required in making, the abutment. A change in the original plan of building the abutment has been made, and this also Is true of piers 4, 5 and 6, the three piers nearest the Vermont side of the river. The first plan was to drive piles Into the river bed, surround the ends with concrete and build the masonry upon those bases, but gravel has been found two or three feet under the top of the ground, of sufficient hardness so that the concrete will be laid upon It, without the use of piles. The six prospective piers are designated by numbers 1 to 6, beginning on the Hinsdale side ot the river. The cofferdam for pier 6 has been driven and about two thirds of the excavating has been done.

The guide piles for piers 4 and 5 have been driven, and the work of driving the cofferdams for those piers will go forward at once. Piers 2 and 3 will be built by the open caisson method, as previously stated. The lower section of the caisson for pier 3, which Is a large box-like structure within which tho gralte pier will be built after It has been floated to Its proper location, was floated Tuesday. It was built on tho Vermont shore, and It slid easily down the ways Into the water. The upper part is now being built.

The construction of the caisson for pier 2 was begun Wednesday. Several carloads of cranlte have arrived. The nllcs for the trestle which will be used In constructing the roadbed on the Vermont side have been driven from the west abutment north to a point In the rear of the round house, where a cove In the river has been reached. Later piles will be driven across this cove, a distance of 500 feet. Girders are on the way for crossing a 40-foot span In the trestle across the river and as soon as that span Is closed the track will be extended across to the Now Hampshire shore.

The construe tlon track north from Hinsdale has been laid to within a mile ot the bridge site. PROGRAM FOR POMONA GRANGE.
