Steam Heating Company tests Boston pipes for leak free supply
The Boston Steam Heating Company tested two miles of pipe with 100000 gallons of water, using six large pumps and four times normal pressure, finding no leaks. Boilers then heated circulating water from 70 to 400 degrees over about ten days, with daily increases of 10 degrees, to ready the system for a first trial. If successful, new pipes may be laid in spring and nearly the entire area served.

Andover Steering Toward Unitarianism or Universalism
Cy Har nes Starbuck of Andover argues over two Boston papers claiming Andover theology leans toward Universalism and Unitarianism. He cites Wood’s long tenure, Panoplist prophecies, and various clerical views to suggest a mixed trajectory rather than a strict path to either. He notes supporters warn of future prophetic trends and urges caution in interpreting current shifts.
