NEWPORT,
THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. ~, 1926.
Candidate for The 10Th Congress,
DUTEE J. PHARCE,


day evening, in the steamboat Fulton,
Capt. Bunker, from Providence, on his re-
turn from Quincy to the seat of Govern
ment In consequence of the strength of
the wind which prevailed through the
night, the boat was Unexpectedly detained
at the wharf, until A. NJ. of the following
morning. The detention of the Fulton was
generally unknown in town, or many of our
most respectable citizens would have avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to have
paid their respects to the President.
From the Patriot of yesterday we copy
the following account Of his reception in
Providence.
On Monday last the President Of the u
nited States, accompanied by his son, arriv-
| ed in this town, on his way to the seat Of GO
vernment, and took lodgings at Blake's,
Franklin House. Yesterday morning be
visited the mansion of Gov. Fenaer, and sf-
terward received the visits of his fellow
citizens, m Franklin Hall, many hundreds
| ofwhom were introduced to him. At ~
O'Clock national salute was fred By the Ar
tillery Company, under command of Colonel
Hodges. The President took passage in
the steamboat Fulton, Capt. Bunker, for
New-bork. On his departure, another ss-
Lutte was fired by the citizens on jefferson
Plain.
DISTRICT C0URT.-The regular
term of the United States District Court
for the Rhode-Island District, was held in
this town on Tuesday last: present, the
Hon. John Pitman, District Judge. No
business of any moment appeared on the
docket, and only one suit was called up at
the instance of the Government, which was
continued by consent. The Court adjourn
ed at 10 a. M.
THE WEATHER.-We have been fa-
vored by valued friend with the follow
ing memorandum Of one of those sudden
variations in the temperature of the atmo-
sphere, which are SO strongly Characters
tic of an American climate. We will only
add to the remarks there made, that the
temperature ofthe air last evening had SEN
sibly softened-the thermometer standing
at sunset at 46" the same point which it
had reached at noon.
"Within the last three days a change
in the temperature Of the air has pointed
all prudent folks to change in their cloth
ing. The eleven first days Of The month
reminded us of the days of June; and in
computing their mean temperature we find
that IT accords nearly with the usual mean
heat Of the first summer month. But after
the moderate rain of the 18th, and north
ern light of considerable brightness in the
evening Of the 10Th, there occurred de-
preston Of the mercury to 40'; and the
northerly wind continuing to blow with
great briskness, the thermometer sunk to
So in the morning and evening of the
18th, and to IS on the morning OF the
10Th, yet as We think without frost at the
south part of Rhode-rsland."

Of our General Assembly is a bill for the
better administration Of our Insolven. Law;
reported by special COMMITTEES appointed
for that purpose, but not acted on for wsnt
Of time The bib was generally approved
Of. and il is to be hoped, that it will be en-
acted into alaw at,he approaching session.
The inconvenience has been found to be
very great, Of making the General Assem-
bly, the forum for the trial ofinsolyen, re-
