In view of the great and important work of building sewers, the city has been alow in laying out and improving Morton park. It is well not to be in haste in matters of this kind, but the time has oome when something should be done with the property so generously given to the oity for public purposes, and we are glad to know that the Oity Coun cil is disposed to move in the matter with out unnecessary delay.

He stood the trip very well, and Dr. Polk, who has been his family phyaiclan for several years, decided on Fri day that the patient would soon be ready tor the operation. Dr. Polk's specialty Is abdominal surgery. He therefore called in Dr. MeBurney to work upon the Injured shoulder. At noon every thing was ready. First Mr. Wetmore was put under the influence of anaesthetics. Then Dr. MeBurney removed a large splinter of bone from tbe fractured part of tbe humerus, two and a half inches above the shoul der joint. This done, the next step was to re duce the dislocation—In other words, to set the shoulder j Mnt that had been thrown out. This was nard to do on account ofthe lapse of fourteen days between the time of the dislocation and the re Suction. Now came the joining of the fractured hnmerns. It was a difficult break, bnt skill and patience joined the parted bone. The pieces were wired together. Antiseptics in profusion in sured the safety of every step in the opera tions, which lasted almost an hour. Mr. Wetmore rallied splendidly from the anaesthesia and shock. Da.

Mr. Chase, who has been clerk at the Bay View during tho season, closed his engage ment at that house Friday and has gone to Lynn, where he will enter the electrical ma chine business, In which he has had already considerable experience. The running time of the Conanicut will be changed about the first of October, when the fall time table will be issued. The Jamestown <fc Newport Steam Ferry Company consummated last Saturday,through Mr.Danlel Watson, the purchase of the wharf property lying just south of their present landing/where the Torpedo Station and Fort Adams launches now make landing. The ferry company will probably occupy their present location for a while yet, but will, be fore another season, make Improvements to their new purchase, which can but be appreciated by the patrons of the fer ry. A new sidewalk on the south side will probably be laid, where the old buildings now are, and back and express stands arranged so that upon the arrival of the boat all teams will be kept out of the way of the people leav ing the boat.. This purchase will, with out doubt, result to the great benefit of the com pany, as well as to patrons.
