Nicholas Baker.
A trust deed given by William III. Bate
man Of Quidnesset 10 George w. Madison,
also of that section of ;he town, has been
filed for record in the Town Clerks Office.
IL conveys Bateman's entire property,
both real and personal, and since il
bears date of the day following the
removal of VIM. III. Bartlett as guardian,
IL gives color TO the rumor that trustee
ship was practically arranged before the
hearing was held, although numerous
witnesses testified to the opinion that
Bateman had recovered control Of his
powers Sufficiently to be restored 10 the
management of his estate. Snch action
following the guardianship so promptly
also goes TO show that the objection was
chiefly TO Mr.. Bartlett personally as pre-
viously claimed by many. The case thus
assumes a new phase for discussion by
the public.
As the choir nj the Baptist church has
been somewhat disorganized of late the
announcement that a mixed quartet will

POINTS ON PAWTUCKET.
Great Interest Taken in the Pro-
position to Build an Armory.
IT IS VERY BADLY NEEDED.
valIey-A Fresh Budget Of News From
Central Falls.

The mentioning of new State armory,
which it is to be hoped may be built here
as soon as possible, has caused consider
able comment among militiamen, espe-
cially in this city. In addition to three
companies being located here, every men,
Der and the com mmander of the State Signal
Corps reside here. The headquarters Of
the cavalry are also located here. Major
Strauss, who for several years has been at
the head of this department OF the State
militia, being a resident of this city.
Neither Of the two companies here
or the one at Central Falls Is
housed as it should be for drilling
purposes. Major Strauss sometime ago
spoke to the committee on militia about
about the amount which could be saved
in different ways if these three companies
were located altogether.
Capt. Charles Rittman Of the Signal
Corps would only be too much pleased TO
have his headquarters here, and is heartily
in favor of the bill being presented. A
rife range in every armory Is a necessity,
but few armories are so situated that they
have one. The majority OF the members
of Major Stranss staff reside here, ana
the success of all concerned would be far
greater If the opportunity was offered for
them to meet more frequently and become
more familiar with their work. Assistant
Ouartermaster w. Howard Walker, who
is an earnest worker for the State troops,
and who has step by step obtained his
present rank from that of private, Is an
endorser Of the idea.
Better work can be done, money saved
the State and the frequent fairs, etc, be
done away with. Prominent men OF the
city are becoming interested and will do
all possible to secure the passage OF the
bill.
Those who join Prof Walkers gymna-
sium before the date Of Dec. 15, will be
taught boxing without additional cost.
Word was received here yesterday that
Messena Z. Baan, who was formerly in
the tannery business here, died at the
residence of his sister in Warren, Mass,
Thursday. He was we'll known here and
was at one time member of the General
Assembly.
