THE EVE OF BATTLE.
A Sherman Man Kicks
FierCeIy.
OUTLOOK FOR TOMORROW.
Democrats Will Win on the First
Day BY Good Majority.

This is the eve of battle. The Demo-
cratic fences are all built up and no gaps
are seen anywhere. The public already
knows that the so-called Democrats who
bolted Mr.. Carroll have not voted the
straight Democratic ticket for years un-
less they were on the ticket themselves or
expected place. Some of them held
office before they were citizens, and some
of them vote now who are not citizens.
IL they vote this year there is talk of legal
measures of, to say the least, an unpleas-
ant nature.
But the Sherman men are now getting
mad. They don't like the White tactics
which are to discredit Sherman's charac-
ter.
One of them who will not permit the
use OF his name said, when he read the
report OF White man about Sherman's
character that il his character wasn't as
good as Whites he'd jump over the
bridge. He said a good many other
things rather libellous to mention, which
went TO prove that he felt quite indignant
But he was completely broken up and
wilted like last rose Of summer under
NhllllEB lIOSl NHtH dShtu IL Ht TtdllN
thought Sherman would get twenty five
votes.
A former White man was seen on Main
street gesticulating quite forcibly and
speaking very plainly to a crowd OF busi-
ness men who happened to meet accident
ally. There were Democrats, Republicans
and Third party men present. The White
man said that he always liked Dave, but
he would not vote for Prohibitionist.
"Dave and l." said he, "have had lots of
good times and / never thought he'd turn
out SO rabid. But it's that id Sheldon, !"
and walked away Indignantly.
T.. w. Bucklin, the chairman of the
Democratic City Committee, was seen and
he said that his fences were all in good
repair. He expected to see the party win
by over one hundred majority tomorrow.
All arrangements had been made by the
various Ward Committees for a vigorous
fight and they expected to get out all
their vote.
awe gained over one hundred by the
canvass" saidvSMr. Bucklin, "whichl is
more than the whole crowd in the third
party can muster.
"Dave White is n good fellow, but we
will whip him. You see, Mr.. Goodwin
got large vote from the liquor element
last year because of his well known anti
Prohibition stand, and White is a Prohi
bitionist and will therefore lose these
votes. Carroll will gain them while
White will not get all of his own party.
Sherman isn't in it at all and is foolish for
driving himself out OF the party"
A great many OF the Republicans who
usually vote the party ticket will vote for
Carroll this election in order to avoid the
expense OF a second election which would
be nearly the salary OF the Mayor for a
year.

MAVERICK BANK CLOSED.
All Trouble to Business Avetted aud
Depositors Probably Secured.

Depositors Probably Secured.
BosToN, Nov. 2.-The national bank ex-
amIuer, acting under the instructions of
the comptroller of the currency, has
closed the Maverick National bank.
There need be no special cause for alarm
in banking or business circles, because the
statement OF the clearing house committee
shows that the bankers Of the city are pre-
pared to rise and meet the emergency in a
proper spirit of enterprise, and il they do
this, the depositors and the smaller banks
in the country will not be embarrassed, as
they might be otherwise. The members
of the clearing house committee are to
BE- commended for their mastery com.
prehension, and should receive the
hearty cooperation Of all OF the banks in
the city.
The street has been full OF rumors con-
cerning the Maverick bank ever since the
tragic death OF. Irving A. Evans two
weeks ago last Ffiday. IL has been claimed
that the firm of Irving A. Evans a. Co
owed the Maverick bank very large
amount Of money, and the statement that
IL was small aud did not affect the stand
ing OF the bank was generally discrcdted
TIE rumors continued to increase in num-
Der and tie bank examiner was called in
to examine the bank.
His partial report to the clearing house
committee, which represents all OF the
other banks, led to their making an exam
ination Of its condition. That committee
has been In session for several days, and
made n very rigid examination. The re-
suit was the notice which heads this article
and clCsed the bank.

LONDON, Nov 2--The strained diplo-

to say that Chill would have reason to re-

Bones was a shaggy, fat skye terrier
with short tail. just why these scrub
by looking skye terriers always find lux
urious homes and fond admirers don't
know, but they seem to do it. Bones
was no exception. He was the house
hold pet. Every member of the family
ruddled and kissed him, and he returned
their affection with equal ardOr.
When any one came home after short
absence, Bones showed exir;lvagant de-
light. and his demonstrations were
usually rewarded with candy or cake.
He had trick Of catching up any
small object which came handy, and
bringing it to lay at the returned ones
feet, as if TO display the generosity of
his heart
Sometimes he overshot the mark like
the rest Of us.
One day the lady Of the house returned,
and Bones, dashing out to find some
token of affection to present her, fell
over three unfortunate little ducks walk
ing primly behind their mamma. He
caught one mp in his mouth and with
joyful haste rushed back to the parlor.
Poor duck! Poor Bones! The duck
struggled. Bones took frmer grip.
The duck struggled harder. Bones gave
hurried gulp, and, to his own dismay
rs well as to tho ducks, the duck went
down Bones throat and never came up
again.
The shout Of laughter which greeted
his exploit was too much for Bones He
ran out faster than he came ill., His
stomach and his conscience both trou.
bled him for long after 1t was only
necessary to say, Duck, Bones!" to see
him stink away with the funniest ex-
preston of doggish shame, caused by
the remembrance of his unintentional
dinner. r.-Harper's Young People.

AT REST.
Funeral of James Mclaughlin of Pleasant
View Yesterday Afternoon.

View Yesterday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon the many relatives
and friends of the late James Mclaughlin
paid their last tribute OF respect by at
tending his funeral and following the
remains to the grave.
During the day his late home was visited
by hundreds who wished to take last
glance at the features they had known so
well in life.
After all had taken their last farewell,
the beautiful casket was closed and carr
ried to the plumed hearse to which were
attached four coal black horses, each
draped in black. The cortege was then
formed and slowly moved to the Church
OF the Sacred Heart where the funeral SER
vice was read by the Rev. Father Hurley,
who spoke i'm very high terms OF the
deceased.
The solemn procession was reformed
and the remains were taken to st. Francis
Cemetery where interment took place.
1t was probably one of the largest fun
erals that has ever been seen in this city.
Sixty-five carriages followed the hearse to
the grave.
The bearers were John McDonough.
William Regan, William Malone, Stephen
Shea, Charles Cummings and Phillip
Crossen.
Among the many floral tributes were
large clock from his wife, the hands OF
which were pointed to the hour of his
death, with the inscription, "Thine Hour
Has Gomez" broken column, with the
words, "My Partner" from James
Callahan; anchor, "Rest," William Regain I;
sheaf OF wheat, "At Rest" from Crane &
Burns; pillow, Bernard Mclaughlin I;
pillow, Mrs. Ann Kelley.
Mr.. Mclaughlin who resided on the
corner OF Park and East streets, was born
in Providence and came to this city with
his parents when very young. Sixteen
years ago he and James Callahan began
to work for James Murphy in the grocery
business on Central street, Central Falls,
and five years later thetwo young men
formed partnership and began business
for themselves but a few doors from Mr..
Murphy's store.
He was genial, generous, whole -souled
man, always pleasant and ready to do
anything to assist fellow man who was
not SO fortunate as himself. He was a
strong temperance advocate and an
honored member ofthe Sacred Heart Tenn
perance Society.
He had reached his 35th birthday and
leaves wife and child to mourn the loss
OF loving husband and kind father. His
brother, Bernard, is a member of the Paw
tucket police force and his parents reside
on North Main street, which has been
their home for years. The old couple find
it hard to bear the loss of their "boy" but
find consolation in having another son to
comfort them in their old age.
