An east bound freight train was standing on the west bound track, having crossed. over to permit the passage of the ac- commodation train from New London, due to arrive at 7.01, the locomotive of the freight train standing near the crossing. The gates were down and the gzate tender warnec Benvenuti not to attempt to cross the tracks, but he paid no heed to the warning, went around' the big gate post and by the freight locomotive and stepped direct- 1y in front of the apprescning ‘accom. medation train. He evidently sup- posed the gates were down for the meeting of the town of Hopkinton, on Thursday afternoon. After the pas- saze of votes authorizing the annnal appropriation and the tramsaction of routine business, Mr. Sprague was given permission to speak at the meeting in connection with a proposi- tion that the town exempt from taxa. tion for a period of ten years new in dustries that would locate in the town within a year, as did the neighboring tewn of Westerly.

After | townspeople and encouragement in examination, the doctor ascertained | exemptions from taxation for a period that is granted by the adjoining town. It would mean the revival of business and upbuilding of the town of Hopkin- ton. After some discussion, it was yoted to authorize the town council to ex- empt from taxation for a period of ten vears industries that would invest at Jeast $10,000 in manufacturing plants during the year. It is probable that now work on the new woolen and cot- ton mill will be started at an early date.
