TO FORECLOSE JUDGMENT LIEN. Annie Z. Coburn of Melrose Wants Satisfaction for Claim. Danielson men who placed attach- ments on the property of the Industrial and_Manufacturing company at Mys- tic have received notice that Annie L.

The elevating of the trolley tracks on lower Dyer street was practically com- pleted when the workmen finished on Saturday night. At the foot of the hill near the Anderson and Frasier places the tracks have been elevated to the extent of a little more than five feet, and the chamge in the grade is re- markable. The finishing touches on the work will be made today (Monday) and the work completed as far as the trolley people are concerned. Satur- day morning the work of bringing the grade of the street up to the level of the trolley tracks was commenced, and this will be completed in a few days. ¥or the present the street at that point is practically impassable. The rais- ing of tracks has left the yard of the Frasier place several feet below the level of ther rails, and a survey was being made Saturday morning to determine if ‘it will be possible to grade the space between the track and the front of the house in such a way as to offset the change that has been made. The work of building the sewer through the much torn up street is now nearly advanced to the junction of Dyer and Franklin streets, and work in the former street will be about com- pleted at the end of the week. Mr. Emerson’s Tests and Messages Ac- curate. The spirit message seance held in the Phoenix theater on Friday evening has created a deal of discussion among the large number that were present as to the merits of the affair. The ma- jority of those present agree that Mr. Emerson's messages from the spirit world were very accurate as far as the descriptions of the persons from whom the messages came were con- cerned; none the less so were the de- seriptions of characteristics and prop- erties of the persons receiving the mes- rages. Many of those who attended went out of curiosity. Many of them expected to see the seance conducted under dim lights and with booths and screens playing a part in the stage set- ting, but Mr. Emerson talked without any of-those accessories, occupying the center of the well lighted stage and talking directly and in a y nat- ural way to those in the body of the house, which was also fully lighted.

News in General. Samuel Diamond, the peddler who says he was shot at last Saturday evening at his barn, on Woodstock ave- nue, has been unable to tell the officers more than he did on last Monday, when the case was first reported. A few Putnam people were interest- ed sufficiently to get up during the carly hours of Saturday morning to view the total esclipse of the moon. Conditions were ideal to watch the phe- nomena, the view being unobstructed by clouds. One observer says that at the period of total eclipse stars were visible close to the moon that became invisible in the stronger light of the moon after the eclipse had passed off. Under a law enacted at the last ses- sion of the legislature all saloons in Putnam will be closed all day Christ- mas. LEGISLATIVE SOUVENIR.
