The line runs through a eral towns and many villages on the | road to Lockport, and' all are typical flourishing United States hamlets, pos sessing many advantages that Kings- | ton does not enjoy, paved streets and} other convenieniees in towns of ten and | | thousand population. In every case the new road runs along the main streets of the towns, something that the steam trains cannot do. From a passenger's standpoint, it is certainly far nicor to travel by the| clectric road, and nothing is lost, buts! much gained by it. There is no dust, no jarring, and very little noise, and | one goes just as fast as op the trains and also sees far more than bybcing locked up in a coach. The cars on the road are all of the latest design and everything for the comfort of passengers is on hand. About twenty cary arc now on the daily run and! ap- pearance.

The body was exhumed and identified, but it found impossible to remove ihe re- mains to Cataraqui cemetery as was intended.
