Two False Alarms of Fire Rung
Yesterday.
GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATED.

Convention Notes and Interesting
Items.

IL is not often that two false alarms ring
in, one almost Immediately following the
other, as was the case last night. About
IL o'clock the fire department responded
to call from Box 22l, on the corner of
Hendricks street and Academy avenue,
which was found TO be on arrival much
ado about nothing.
About two hours after Box 6s, Apple
ton and Delaine streets, was rung in, and
reached the spot. The circumstances of
the case give it a rather suspicious ap-
pearance At both the boxes were gath
cred a crowd who seemingly enjoyed the
discontinue of the firemen.
A Golden Wedding.
Yesterday afternoon, at the Plainfield
Street Baptist Church, a notable event in
the lives of an aged couple was celebrated,
namely, the golden wedding of Rev. G.. III.
Wheeler and wife, of Scituate. A large
number were present TO hail the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage, and to offer
them their congratulations. Some
thing more substantial than words
of cheer were given them, in the
shape of purse well filled with gold coin.
The fifty years during which they have
gone, hand in hand through life's pleas
ufeS ana pains, nave turned lnelf ndlr
and left the imprint of time on their
faces il is true but otherwise they seemed
as youthful as when they the sacred knot
binding them forever in the holy state of
matrimony was tied
The Young Mems Republican club of
Johnston were To have held meeting last
night, but owing to the convention of the
Republican State League at Ppwtvcket,
it was postponed till next Wednesday
evening. About twelve of the members Wis
tied the convention, and three of the dele
gates held over from last year were appoint
ed TO represent them. Messrs George Cur
rier, president of the club, Chas. A. Phillips
secretary, and Herbert w. Parmenter
were the ones chosen. They all reported
themselves as extremely pleased with the
manner in which the affair was conducted,
as well as with the speaking, especially
the speech of Senator Buchanan of New
Jersey, DIR. +. A. Twitchell attended the
convention also.
For two or three days past extensive re-
pairs have been in progress on the High

mark that they fill u long-felt want.

GRAVES ASTONISHED
At the Result Of the Election in
Providence.
1T MADE HIM HAPPY, THOUGH.
The Drawing of the Jury Practically Com
pleted-A Short Session To-day-somS
of the Talesmen Imprisoned-One Man
Fined for An Indiscreet Remark.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l


DENVER, Col, Dec. 3.-Col. Ballou and
DIR. Graves were not little astonished
when they heard the election news from
Providence this morning. For while the
information served to brighten up the
doctor, for il drew his mind away from
the pending trial, but he soon relapsed
into his nervous condition and played
spasmodically with his eye glass. The
jury was practically secured last night,
but the State held as choice morsel its
own peremptory challenge, while the de-
fense cherished their two remaining privi-
leges. To-day's session will be short.
Yesterday was an exciting day, and not
since the beginning of the proceedings
has the court room been In such trmuIt.
Judge Rising's action in committing tales
man Brown to Jail on Tuesday had good
effect, and there were fewer foolish
answers to the lawyers questions. Tales
man 4. S. Rohlfinger evidently had not
heard Of this occurrence, for he attempted
to evade jury duty, and was also COM
mitted to Jail for contempt.
Another talesman told the court that a
fellow worker named Bennett had re-
marked, when he learned that he was
summoned for jury duty, that he ought to
hang the doctor. Bennett was brought
into court later and fined s. for his re-
mark. This mans feelings toward the
doctor indicates the general sentiment of
the people of this city.

JOHN M'MANUS HANGED.
The Last Act ofa Tragedy That Began
With a Drunken Quarrel.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-John McManus
was hanged early this morning in the
Moyamensing prison yard. He suffered
the extreme penalty of the law for the
murder of Eugene McGinnis in this city
February, 1890.
The murder was the result of a drunken
quarrel among set of dsreputable men
and women, and the. victim was stabbed to
death i'm the sreet. McManus was tried
and convicted to hang I'm May, 1890, but
was repreved till following October. Then
through the efforts of his counsel he OBJ
tanned a new trial but was again convict
ed and again sentenced to be hanged.
The latter sentence was carried out to-
day. The prisoner was cool and unmoved
when he took his place on the fatal trap
this morning and his death was to all ap-
pearances quick one.

THEFIGHT is DONE. NOW.
Mr.. William K. Potter Got a Small
Majority Over Mayor Smith,
NO SENATOR CHOSEN YET.
The Way the Democrats "whooped 1t Up"
When They Learned the Result at
Their Headquarters at the Revere
House-First Democratic Mayor for as
Years.

The fight for the mayorality was ended
last night when the returns from the
various precincts showed that William X.
Potter, the Democratic candidate, had a
majority over all the candidates. The re-
publicans made good fight. but there are
turns In politics which nobody can keep
ND with. Mayor Smith seems to be well
satisfied. He has made a good mayor and
has won the appreciation of all good
citizens. The returns came in early last
night, and the crowd took considerable
interest on the result, but did not display
any enthusiasm over the result. The
Democrats finally got together, however,
and there was shouting and champagne
and enthusiasm" at the Revere House
which has all along been the head9uar-
ters of that party. Mr.. Potter was there;
also John NJ Brennan and Franklin p.
Owen. The old-timers were there to some
extent and Mr. Potter had to undergo the
usual hand wringing process, when 1t was
stated that he had 80 majority. The final
result showed that he had about $50 ma
jority
The Republicans were disappointed, of
course, but took it coolly. They had con-
fidently expected the election OF Mr..
Woods for Senator, but the result showed
that he lacked % votes of having enough.
The Democrats lndulged In Brotesque
elarity until late hour.
There not having been Democratic
mayor of Providence for thirty-eight
years, makes il quite an event, but
the Republicans will not allow so unfor
tunate thing to occur again soon, they
say, A.
Democrats I'm 1853 and served one year
He got 2,O41 votes to 1857 for Henry How
ard, Whig. The aldermen will now be
obliged to fix date for another election
for senator, of course, and there will prob
ably be choice next time.
The Republicans met at the City hall
last evening in dignifed way, and when
the result was known went home
and slept on it. This has always
been custom of theirs. There are rum
ors of offers Of positions in the City Hall
To various people but Mr.. Potter will
probably consider the surroundings before
he attempts any changes. The historical
meeting at the Revere house when the
Democrats thought Hiram Howard was
elected was called to mind by last nights
enthusiasm"
The Democrats got Parks Continental
Band and visited Mr.. Potter's house after
shouting in the streets for some time.
At Mr.. Potter's house he was intro
duced by Thomas Cosgrove and made
speech. He gave the crowd cigars and the
crowd gave him red fire. Then they went
away and fired cannon for some time.
The scattering vote for Senator was Al,
which spoiled the election.

Fell Into the Sewer.

Shortly before 3 o'clock this morning
the engineer on section six of the Elm
wood sewer, discovered a man lying on
the bottom of the trench, apparently in
sensible. He made an effort To get him
out, but the man whose name was Charles
Swan, was unable to stand and the police
ambulance was called and conveyed him
to his home at the corner of Brook and
Wickenden streets. Medical aid was sum-
moned and an examination of his injuries
disclosed the fact that while no bones
were broken he had sustained severe
shaking-up.

The Mistaken v,rIict Handed In by an
Indiana Jury.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. BY a strange
mistake jury verdict was rendered in the
j. IL. McCloud of charge of counterfeit
ing, when it was the intention of the jury
to declare him guilty.
The astounded jury at once protested that
the verdict was not the one agreed upon
and after little investigation IL was dis
covered that the foreman had simply
made mistake.
1t was made the occasion of lecture by
Judge Woods, who thought that if the
verdict had been returned sealed instead
of in the presence of the jury, the prisoner
would be entitled to his liberty. As il
was, however, the verdict was changed,
and McCloud was sentenced to eighteen
months in prison.

HOW FINNISH PEASANTS BATTLE,

They Beat Each Other With Little
Brooms and Then Roll in the snow.
In the neighborhood of every little
settlement stands low, unpainted log
house, consisting of one room. with a
tiny door and window. Within stones
are piled. and being heated, water is
then poured over them, creating the
steam bath. into which whole families
Immediately gather. each member car

they beat one another.
The bath is the most important func-
ton. partakinp of religious signii-
canoe, since it is unlawful to attend the
church services on the following day
unpurified, and thus every Saturday
afternoon in the year is devoted to the
bath. Not infrcqaently in winter the
peasants rush out quite naked from tha
bath and roll themselves vigorously in
the snow.

newspaper wits. One of them is even

reason is ascribed to the artist, Fuseli.
One of his pecuiarities was that of
carrying large gingham umbrella of a

How TO Detect Commercials,

III examining the most skillfully
made counterfeit notes there is but one
defect found in them, and that is in
their size. Counterfeit bills are neces-
sarily a little smaller than the genuine.
Government plates. which it is impossi-
BILE to steal, are somewhat larger than
the bills made therefrom, on account OF
allowing for the shrinkage of the pa
per. In making counterfeit money a
new note is pasted on polished steel
plate and transfer paper is placed over
it. The work is then traced with a fine
pencil and afterward marked through
on the steel plate with a sharp engraver.
The plate thus made is of course, just
the size of the note, and the bills made
from it when dampened shrink, making
them somewhat smaller than genuine
currency. Y. Ledger
