Frank Green of Exchange street has re-
turned from visit to Providence.
At the last meeting of Woolsey lodge,
Knights of Honor, after the regular lodge
business had been disposed of, q spread
was served. 1t is expected that at the
next meeting three new members will be
initiated. This lodge is taking quite q
boom and 1t is expected that there will be
quite an increase in membership this
winter.
At O'Clock last evening an alarm was
struck from box for q fire In the two
story house of John Mansfield, No. 20 Cas-
tie street. Mr.. Mansfield is employed at
the town stone crusher in the annex and
his wife had also gone away for the day,
| so the house was not occupied when the
fire broke out in the kitchen, located on the
| first floor of the ell 1t is believed the fire
caught from an overheated stove or from
Il "oo
soon burning vigorously, and both floors
were pretty thoroughly burned out, steam
ers and 8 extinguishing the flames before
they had made further progress. The loss
is estimated at between $500 and $500. 1t
| could not be learned last evening whether
the property was insured.
1t is not expected that there will be q
very heavy vote to-day, but there is every
reason why big republican vote should
be polled in the Eleventh ward. Unless
the republicans make an effort Alderman
William E. Morgan and the councilmer
will be defeated. and the republicans GER
tainly cannot afford such a loss. In the
Twelfth ward the republicans have NJ
hope of success because the ward is tot
thoroughly democratic. 1t was understood
last evening that the Sargent factor
would not make any opposition to Franl
w. Foley, the regular democratic candidate
for alderman. Foley won in q good squar'
fight at the primary, and the other sid
could not afford to carry the fight to tn
polls.
