The boy stood on the front door step,
nor thought of danger near, he cared
not for her fathers boot--in short he
had no fear. He took his pocket mir
ror and paused for an instant there to
remove his nice, new derby hat and
smooth his oily hair, then grasped the
handle and timidly rang the door bell,
for he knew her harsh father hated
him worse than-anything. A mo-
ment of painful waiting, a moment of
anxious doubt, the front door opened
softly aud foot flew swiftly out. A
moment of quiet agony, and moment
of quiet suspense, and the young man
lutched through the atmosphere and
hung himself on the fence. A horrible
shrek of anguish loud obstreperous
whoop, and the young man flew down
the avenue with his coat tail in the

SATURDAY, MAY 2.
THE SWITCH AGAIN.

The question of whether or moi the
city should assist the Kansas City,
Fort Scott and Memphis railway COM
pany in the building of a switch or
spur tract; from their main line in this
city TO the west end of the Baxter dam
to the extent of paying for the right OF
way for the same, estimated 10 cost
$1,000, is again being discussed by the
city council and people generally.
This appropriation was once made,
hut after considerable litigation the
project was defeated in The court on
the ground that the council had pro-
cceded in an illegal way TO make the
appropriation.
The question is again brought Up
for consideration by the new members
Of the council j. NJ. Cooper aud j. H..
Humphrey, who, together with the
mayor and Mr.. Perkins, strongly fav-
or it, while Mr.. Scott quite as strongly
opposes the appropriation. 1t is
claimed by those in favor of il that the
building Of the switch is almost abso-
lutely essential to the existence OF
manufactures at the river on paying
basis; that the expense of transferring
humber and grain from the depot TO
the mills and the manufactured articles
back again by wagon as now practic-
I'd practically takes away the bulk of
the profit which ought to be derived
from the manufacture of the raw mat
crial aud renders The enterprises locat-
cd there unable to compete with SINH
lar factories at other points where
railroad facilities are better. If this
he true ami We desire 10 retain the
enterprises already at the dam and Sc
cure others to utilize the full capacity
of the water power there certainly the
proper thing to do is to secure the
switch il it be possible. Whether it
would result in as much benefit to the
town as the sanguinc advocates Of the
project proclaim it would remains to
lac seen, but unquestionably it could
be no letriment TO our city. and If, as
result of the building of the switch,
we should secure additional manu-
factories employing say so, 100 or 200
men certainly our city would be indi-
rectly benefited to greater or less
extent.
So far as the actual cost is concern
ed 1t is quite small, if anything in the
end. The city is to pay $1,000 aud the
railroad company $4,000 to $4,000.
The whole length of the switch is to
be about one mile, less than One-hslf
of which would be in the city limits.
This would give the city an addition
al assessed valuation Of about $500,
aud the rsilaoad company would pay
IN this in city and school taxes. alone
about $Il0 per annum. In other
words IL the city makes the appropria-
ton of $1,000 it will be practically up

q number are opposed TO the appro-
priaiion on the ground that in cannot
be made legally without vote Of the
people and even If il could II would
work an injustice to the many for the
benefit of u few. Really I'VE cannot
see what inducement the railroad COM
pany can have for expanding $4,000 or
$4,000 on the proposed switch when
they get nine-tenths of the freight
without il, unless it be for the reason
that it will give them big advantage
over any other road that might want
to come in and run line TO the mills.
The railroad would certainly not re-
duce its freight rates to and from this
point simply because of having built
a switch as proposed, and in this we
believe is the greatest barrier TO
the establishment of more fac
tories and not because of the lack of a
switch. What we want is Compel
ing line of road, though u worthy
member of the council says the build.
ing of one would be one of the worst
things that could happen TO MS. When
we consider that merchants have had
car loads of freight shipped to Galcna,
right through our city, and then haul
ed from that city back here by wagon
at cost considerably less than the
cars could be billed to this point for
this assertion about competing line
being detrimental seems TO lack the re-
quired foundation.
Some object 10 the appropriation on
the ground that the industries at the
river have not been formally taken
into the city for taxable purposes, but
the assessor tells us they have been
assessed in the city this year at total
assessed valuation of $500, which, on
the same basis applied TO the proposed
switch, would bring into the city from
them, as school and city taxes alone,
$233.50 per year.
1t is proposed to make the appropri-
alton so as to BIZ paid in three yearly
installments, and if done in this way
the taxes paid by the railroad and the
present industries at the river, which
would amount to 1888 so, would just
balance the amount of the appropria-
ton, leaving nothing to be paid by
general taxation.
As the people seem to be considcra-
bly, divided on this proposition we be-
lieve the better plan would be to allow
the people to settle the question by a
vote, or at least get all expression
from the resident tax payers.

Hotel. This old land mark was located In
the new part of the city of Providence, on
the west side of Providence river at the
junction OF Cranston and High streets.
A FAMOUS OLD RESORT.
'It was an old-fashioned building owned
by Walter Proctor. wealthy resident OF
the CITY of Providence. In early days
of Providence, Hoyle's tavern was a great
resort, being then some distance from town,
and it was used by moonlight excursion par
ties in summer and fall and sleighing par
ties in winter, to regale themselves with
lunch and enjoy dancing Around this old
landmark many old worthless of
past generation spent their time
and their favorite amusement was
PLAYING checkers; it was here that Freeman
learned the game. His spare moments were
spent in battling with these old giants, who
had played the game in that place for ualf a
century. His duties as errand boy led him
to carry the shoes of the patrons of the
hotel to No. 50 Cranston street, the shop L
opened when I arrived in America from Ire
land in 1873 was born in Killrea, Lon
donderry, ireland, July 4, 1851. In July,
1872, I went to Glasgow, and from there
came to America the following year.
- 'In my shop great number of checker
PLAYERS met Prominent among them was
nv uncle, who had retired from business,
and he put in most of his time playing
checkers The interest in the game got to
be so that 1 neglected my business for the
game. 1t is only. those who have passed
through this stage who know the depths OF
the fascination that Dameth has for those

years, when L came to Pittsburg in 1888.
This gives for the first time an insight
into the early history of this great player
Little did those who played with him in
that shoe shop while he was waiting for the
shoes being repaired imagine he would
stand in the foremost rank of the worlds
greatest checker players. When he first
visited this shoe shop he was not able to
draw game with the players who congre-
gated there, but it was not long until he
was able to hold the best of them even, and
SO rapid did he rise into prominence that
in 1916 he took the first prize in the tourna-
ment for the Providence championship.

THE FIRE RECORD.

AT Philadelphia late Friday night the
mecaroni factory of Cuneo & RaZZio was
destroyed. Loss, $50, 600; insurance, $4,000.
AT Belleville, Tex, yesterday, sparks
from a passing locomotive set fire to cotton
on the platform of the Santa Fe Railroad.
About 200 bales were badly damaged or
destroyed.
AT Youngstown early this morning fire
broke out in the boiler house of the YOungs-
town Rolling Mill Company, entirely de-
stroying the building before it was gotten
under control The rest of the large iron
plant was saved. The same mill has been
twice burned down. Loss, $1,000; fully in
sured.
McKEEspoRr and vicinity was visited by
series of fires Friday night. The first re-
suited in the destruction of an old land
mark in Mifflin township, opposite the city.
A spark from an engine on the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston Railroad set fire to
a row of four houses owned by the John
Neel estate. The buildings were erected in
1s4S. The only occupant was Patrick terry,
who succeeded in saving most of his house
hold goods. Loss, S4C0 ne insurance. The
second fire resulted in tbs destruction of
the house of Jacob Russins, of Germantown,
and the fire consumed all OF his household
goods. Three years ago his home was
burned out, and he was just recovering from
the effects OF 1t.
AT Duquesne late Friday night fire was
discovered in the residence and bottling
works of X. C. Henderson. The flames had
made such headway inside the building it
was impossible to save many of the goods.
Two horses and q small amount of goods
were saved from the bottling factory. The
Henderson family was away at the time.
The buildings were a total loss, amounting
to 49, 5OO with no insurance. The adjoining
frame dwellings were saved with great
difficulty. The same evening the residence
OF j. Rusne also caught fire and burned to
the ground the family barely escaping with
their lives. Loss, $1,000; partially insured.
Both fires are supposed to be the work OF
incendiaries.
