IN AND ABOUT WESTERLY Extending Groton & Stonington Trolley Tracks to New Freight Station—Frank Larkin Loses in Watch Hill Land Case—Bemnard Colwell, 48, Killed on Tracks Near Shannock—Clemens Sold to Milwaukee. The tracks of the Groton and Ston- ington Trolley company in West Broad street are being extended to the new freight station and general headquar- ters, in Cogswell street. When this work is completed the present freight house will be abandoned in Mechanic street, as will also the freight house of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company in Railroad avenue. Event- ually all the freight business by trolley lines centering in Westerly will be transacted in the Cogswell street sta- tion, and the administration office will be located in the upper story of the freight depot, which was formerly the armory of Company B, Third regiment, C. N. G. The building has been thor- oughly remodeled and specially fur- nished for the transaction of trolley business along modern lines. The Pawcatuck river bridge has al- ready been abandoned as the terminal of the Groton-Stonington road, and the cars are now run into Westerly with terminal High street, just above Broad | street junction. When the improve- ments at the Westerly station of the ew York, New Haven and Hartford allroad company are completed, it is sald that the terminal for the Norwich snd Westerly, Ashaway and Westerly, the Pawcatuck Valley and the Grofton and Stonington roads will be in the vicinity of the raflroad station, thereby relleving the congestion in Dixon square and bettering the general con- dition of trolley traffic in the town. At the junction of Railroad avenue and Canal street, along the railroad prop- erty, the avenue will be widened at least thirty feet, tapering to an in- crease in width of ten feet at the end of the avenus, near the West street draw bridge, Therefore there will be ample space for the trolley terminal as well as for the ordinary vehicular {raffic, * > Lieut. Peter G. Greene has been a imember of the Providence fire depart- ment for 43 years, and the statement ds made that he Is the oldest aotive fireman in term of continuous service in the New Emngland states. That is not strictly true, for George H. Pow- ers has been treasurer of Niagara En-M fine company, No. 1, for 44 years, and was on the active list several years before being elected treasurer. He is still on the active list and responds to all fire alarms, and is among the most active fire fighters in the department. Mr. Powers is an enthusiastic fireman and finds pleasure in attending mus- ters and fire parades that are within a day’s ride of New London. He pa- raded with the Niagaras when they visited Westerly less than three weeks g0, Judge Baker ruled in the superior court for Washington county, in session at Kingston, that Senator-elect Louis Taylor of Narragansett was not eligi- ble to serve as a petty juror, 'thereby raising an interesting legal point. It appears from statements made by Mr. Taylor that he had built a house on his father's land at Narragansett Pier. The house is a’'permanent structure, erected on permanent foundations. Mr.; Taylor is taxed at $1,500 for this house. | Judge Baker holds that, not owning the land on which thelhouse stands, Mr, Taylor owns no real estate, as the land carries the bullding with it, and not being an owner of real estate, is n‘gt qualified for jury duty. In the case of Clement A. Griscom against Frank" Larkin, Judge Baker in the superior court for Washington | county, in session at Kipgston, handed | down an opinion Thursday in favor of the plaintiff, and awarded damages of one dollar. This case was a dispute over the ownership of a piece of land at Watch Hill which plaintiff claimed was included in the original purchase of the Larkin House property, but which was claimed by defendant. The case has been in court for nearly a year, Judge John W. Sweeney repre- senting the plaintiff and Samuel H, Davis the defendant. Mr. Griscom, who died recently at his home near Philadelphia, was one of the largest real estate owners at Watch Hill, Bernard Colwell, a weaver, who was walking on the railroad track in Shan- nock, met James Conley, another weav- er, en route from Peacedale to Potter Hill, where they expected employment, was struck by an eastbound express and instantly killed Thursday morning, Both men stepped from the westbound track to get out of the way when the express train came. Conley escaped mjyry. Dr. H, E. Rouse, medical ex- aminer, was summoned and ordered the removal of the body., Both legs were broken and the body horribly cut and bruised. Conley gave the information that Ber- nard Colwell was 48 years of age, and that his home was in Pittsfield, Mass. He served in the Spanish-American war, with service in the Philippines, and was in China as an American sol- dier during the Boxer uprising. He was unmarried, and leaves two sisters, Mrs. George Holigan of Plymouth, Mass., and Mrs. Joseph Shaunessey of Clin- ton, Mass. - 8 Local Laconics. James H.
