ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE
The proceedings in the House, last
night, were of o nature to be termed
scandalous. Some of the members were
intoxicated, while others appeared de-
termined to create as much confusion as
they possibly could. With the inces-
SAINT rapping of the Speakers gavel and
cries OF "Mr. Speaker" and points of
order, it was impossible to arrive at any
satisfactory conclusion as to what was

on Sunday, the Dist inst, under the auspices of
the Rhode Island Catholic temperance union,
and 1t is expected that number of the Catholic

Providence will address the meeting.

The reelection of Mayor Doyle seems to be as
certain as anything can be. For three or four
years past a great effort has been made to defeat
Mr.. Doyle each year, on the part of few who
dislike him personally. Two years ago they
succeeded. Last year, however, he was returned
to the position which he has so ably filled, and
there is little doubt that he can retain the office
so long as he pleases tocontiuue in 1t. An effort
was made last week to combine the temperance
vote against him, but the leaders of the temper.
ance cause had full meeting, and with great
unanimity decided not to NEEDLE, except so far
as to secure, if possible, board of aldermen
opposed to the license system.
Watcher" the Providence correspondent
of the Boston Journal, says: "Two of our papers
came out with sensation article, about week
ago, in which it was stated that the bones and
garments of woman were found in a building
being torn down on Westminster street. AS
such stories usually are, this was copied or the
substance given, by the press far and near, and
has lost nothing in its travels. And yet there
was very little foundation for the story. The
building referred to has for some years past
been occupied in the upper stories as large
daguerrean establishment, and the operators EN-
ployed there resided in neighboring villages,
and were in the habit of bringing their dinners
and throwing their meat bones away in the at
