CENTRAL FALLS.
A sicI>ening Sight on Gross street Last
Night-The Fire District Election.

A sickening Sight on Cross street Last
Night-The Fire District Election.
A disgraceful sight was witnessed OH
Cross street last evening. 1t was man
and in a beastly state of intoxication, the
woman carrying a child about seven or
eight months old. They fell, rolled in the
gutter togeth her, the babe crawling out OF
their reach and thereby saving itself from
injury. They were helped to their
wrethed home by neighbors.
The Fire District Election.
The annual election of the Central Falls
Fire District draws nearer and soon the
caucusses will be held for the nomination
of candidates for the Board of Firewards--
important officers, because those officers,
have charge OF the entire Fire District.
They control everything and have the
handling of large amount of money and
for that very simple, but important reason,
they should be men of good judgment,
men who are not to much blinded by
politics. so that members of both parties
may be recognized and treated courteous
ly. Lincoln has gained an unenviable
reputation for rank partisanship in the
past ana it is about time the people who
like to sec fair play, those who advance
with time and are not going backward,
demanded that when an election is over
that politics be dropped and that the men
who are elected to serve the people, not
any party, should do so.
The annual election will be held on the
first Monday in January and is not now
very far away. The polls will open at 2
o'clock in the afternoon and close at
o'clock.
One improvement at least, is that the
election and appropriation meeting have
been separated and that the officers will
all be elected on one ballot. The meeting
to regulate the tax and appropriate money
for the current expenses of the dis
trict, will take place one week
later, the hour and place to be fixed by
the Board of Firewards. In previous
years the business meeting and election
took place at the same time and it was
nothing unusual to see weary sleepy
crowd emerging from Temperance Hall at
3 or O'Clock in the morning, having just
completed the business, or, what might
be more appropriately termed, the row.
The people have profited by the LESSONS
OF the past and are of more progressive,
generous spirit.
Major Mallettc club.
Tomorrow evening meeting of the
Major Mallette French Democratic Club
will be held in the Huot building. 1t will
be interesting to every person of that
nationality and all are invited to attend.
Gentlemen from out-of-town will be
present to address the members and their
friends and every voter who goes to the
meeting may consider his evening well
spent. Besides the speaking, naturaliza-
tion papers will be issued-an opportunity
of which persons intending to become
citizens should take advantage.

The entertainment tonight in Tempera
ance Hall is for the benefit of the Church
of the Colored NJ Mission
II would not be II bad idea To have the
cutters on Central and NJ ill streets put in
proper condition before what little winter
we are to have sets in.
Two weeks from tonight is Christmas
Eve. Both young and old are looking
forward to the day Of giving and receiv-
ing, with the hope that they will not be
forgotten.
What the TRIBUNE suggested sometime
ago in regard 20 getting room for the
tiremen at the Broad street engine house,
may be acted on when some of the appar-
atus is removed to the Kendall street
house.
Town Clerk Crawford will go to Lime
rock tomorrow night. This is the only
opportunity the people of that section will
get to register without going to the Town
Clerks Office and they should avail them
selves of it.
The Council seemed to think there was
not much time to lose when it passed the
resolution to widen Central street, but
it seems to be a long time in getting the
highway department at work. At the
present rate Mr.. Pendergrass need not fear
of being disturbed.
He IL the Leader.
