R. 1., is. it was stated at the main offices of the company today, nearly ready for occupancy. in fact, the buildings are being occupied as fast as they are completed it is regarded as something of a novelty among rail- road meow—the care of such an exten- sive marine plant as the Consolidated line‘ a outfit of Sound steamers amounts to. The list includes the New Bcdfoid. Providence, Fall River. Norwich, Ston- ington and New Haven steamboat lines. in fact. the road has about as much of a monopoly onthe Sound be- tween New York and .Boston as it has on shore. The general work of building the reg- ular repair plant at Newport hhs been under the eye of J. W. Miller the gen- eral superintendent of the road's mar- ine district. and by means of this plant the road will proceed to repair all the boats of its lines in every way except in taking them out.“ the water, and it may be not In a great dry docking plant ultimately. Much money will be saved to the road by this means. The shops are located on the site of the old shops of the Old Colony line. and but a few steps from the Newport wharf. When the lines were all run under separate management. that Is to say. before they were absorbed by the Consolidated Railroad. their various repairs of bulls. boilers and engines were almost always made at different yards about New York. in this way .the lowest rates for this class of work wore not always secured. There are six important buildings in the new plant. They include a car- pester shop; ”a: machine-shop. brazing and tinulng‘shop'. ands power house. All are of brilliant extensive dimen- sions and are frnm- one totwo stories in height. The work has been done by flgcillulro &~Penniman, of Providence. KILLED iNFANT CHILD.
