RAIL WAY OUTRAGES
The English Travelling Public in a
Panic.
TO REFORM THE CARRIAGES.
This f. the Latest Proposition-71ne Brit
ish Press IL Pleased Mt the Ratification
of the Arbitration Treaty-wbat Ger
man Papers See.

LONDON, April 2l.-A great outcry is
being made throughout Great Britain at
the frequency of outrages in the compart-
ments of railway trains. Women decline
to enter compartments occupied by only
one man to run the risk Of encountering
the railway brute, who is fast becoming
as great terror as was "Jack the Rip
per" few years ago.
Most men, on the other hand, will not
under any consideration enter compart-
ment occupied by only one or even two
women for fear of being blackmailed.
There is only one remedy for this state
of affairs and that is the Introduction OF
the American passenger car. English
railroad managers are fully alive to the
advantages Of the American system and
IL it were not for the immense cost would
effect n sweeping change at once by sub
stituting the American car for the carri-
ages now In vogue.

a french Victory.

ST. LOUIS, Senegal April 21.-Advice
from the interior show that the situation
OF the French expedition under command
OF Colonel Humbert is greatly improved
since the last reports reached the coast
Col. Humbert was sent out to punish Sa-
mory, the native chief ruling most OF
the country along the upper Niger river,
who had resented the interference of the
French in territory claimed by him to be
under his jurisdiction. On March IL, a
battle took place near Keronane. Samory
attacked the French, but he received q
bad defeat and great number of his men
were killed. The French loss was trifiing.
Two thousand OF the natives were armed
with modern rifles, but fortunately for
the French they did not know how to
properly use them.
The fact that the natives had these RI
fies will, 1t Is believed, tend to support
the proposition that the sale Of fire arms
and ammunition to African chiefs, particu-
larly Sammory and King Behanzin of Da-
honey, should be stopped by q natural
agreement between the powers.

The TRIAL is FINISHED.
Rhodes CorneII's Fate Is In the
Hands of the Jury.
THEY ARE LIKELY TO DISAGREE.
The Testimony and Argument Finished ut
Noon and tho Jury Retires to Consider
sverdict-Intercst In the Case 10 Run
ming High.

EAST GREENWICH, April 21.--The trial Of
Rhodes Cornell for the alleged murder Of
John Gaddis, was concluded this noon.
There was but little evidence offered, and
half an hour after the court was opened
the arguments were begun.
James Conley, a cousin of John Gaddis,
and, like him, a liquor dealer, and whose
place Of business is in Crompton, swore
that on the Sunday noon before the shoot
ing Gaddis came to his place and was
there nearly two hours.
This was In rebuttal of the evidence OF
Otis Reynolds and wife, and Of the de-
fendant, to the effect that on that parti-
cular Sunday Gaddis drove up to Cornell's s
house at 2 A. M. to IL p. NJ, and that
Gaddis' horse was tied up to the fence in
plain view from the roadway all that
time.
Mrs. e. G. Smith. the East Greenwich
came to the jail he had mere skin
scratches OH his face and neck that had
probably been made by finger nails.
Mrs. Reynolds, the sister OF Mrs.
Rhodes Cornell, had sworn that by reason
OF the assault upon her by Cornell she
had several black and blue spots and cuts
on her face.
The defence produced two newspaper
men who were at the Cornell house the
day after the shooting, who heard Mrs.
Reynolds story, but who saw no marks
on her face.
The State called Deputy Sheriff Lynch,
who swore that on the evening OF the
assault he saw one small cut on Mrs. Rey-
nolds' cheek, and that he there and then
called DIR. Winan's attention to IL.
The clothes worn by Gaddis when he
was shot were offered in evidence. and
then the case was closed.
Col. Stiness spoke eloquently as he
graphically described the shooting as he
viewed 1.-THE act of a man who had the
right to defend himself and his home
against the invasion of another who came
there to debauch women, to commit adul-
terry and who threatened to kill him with
poker.
During the argument Col. Stiness in
formed the jury that Rhodes Cornells Is
years old daughter had died at Arctic
during the previous night while giving
birth to her first babe.
Cornell had not heard the sad news, and
he, as well as the jury and the audience
were visably affected.
Col. Stiness spoke until the recess at 12
o'clock. Attorney Gen. Burbank began
his argument and at 4 o'clock the case
was ready to go to the jury.
Opinion is about equally divided as to
the probable verdict. Many believe it
will be manslaughter or disagreement.
There are but few who look to an acquit-
tai. More believe in a disagreement than
IN verdict Of murder in the first degree.

A BAD FIRE.


CENTRAL FALLS, April 2l.-About $40
o'clock last evening an alarm of fire called
the fire department to the boarding and
livery stable of Emanuel Vadnais on
Broad street near Cowden. The stable is
of wood and contained about three tons Of
hay, seven horses aud the necessary
amount of harness and furnishings.
The building was mass Of flames when
the firemen arrived. They could do moth
ing to save the building or its contents,
and the seven horses were burned to
death.
The carriages, which were in an adjoin-
ing shed. were saved.
The fire i'm some way communicated
with the residence of Mr.. Vadnais. There
is no sign of fire on the outside OF the
dwelling, and the supposition Is that a
spark flew in through an open window.
Two of the rooms. with their furniture,
were badly damaged. The barn is the
property of James Fournier. aud is a total
loss. It is worth probably 81 900, and is
insured. The stock belonged to Mr. Vad-
nais, aud his loss is probably 8. 500; in
sured for 5000.
