DESPICABLE VANDALISM
Attempts Made to Steal Two Costly
Bronze Pieces.
SWAN POINT WAS THE PLACE,
Portions of Ornamental Iron Chainwork
and Metallic Markers Taken-The Cor
poration Offers Reward and win

The Swan Point Cemetery Corporation
to-day posted notices offering a reward of
$500 for the apprehension and conviction
of persons who steal ornaments or other
property from the cemetery.
The cause of this has been despicable
piece Of vandalism and several thefts Of
articles of minor value.
IL was first discovered that some person
had appropriated sections of ornamental
iron chains that were used as bounds for
some of the lots belonging TO the first
purchasers of burial lots on the corpora
tion's premises. and that smaller pieces OF
probably 20 be sold Tor junk.
Later IL was discovered that an attempt
had been made 10 wrench off the very
costly and artistic bronze medallions
which John Austin had caused TO be
placed over the remains of mis- two chill
dren, and which were life-size and greatly
admired by all visitors To the cemetery.
The thieves, who had probably APP
preached the grounds by the river front,
were frightened away before they could
secure their booty, which would have been
been sold for junk and brought but a
tithe of its real value.
The corporation has securely guarded
the grounds from further like intrusions
and no more depredations are likely TO
occur.
The work of the scoundrels was fortu-
nately discovered in time 10 prevent other
and serious losses to lot owners.

Authority to the City Council.

A hearing was given before the Senate
committee on judiciary to-day on the ris-
ing of the Senate on the proposed act to
authorize city ef Neenseeket to regulate
the time that trains shall remain on cross
ings.

was the first TO speak on the subject and
testified that many complaints had been
made TO him that trains occupied the
crossing an unnecessary length of time,
and he had at various times been obi ged
To climb through the cars or. If he was in
n carriage, to drive around n longer way.
His complaints. he said, had always been
made to the mayor and he had never had
ANYTHING TO say 10 the officials of the road.

Council of Woonsocket. said that he had
frequently seen the trains delay traffic

trains since the last hearing, and had
seen trains wait on the crossing from
four To six minutes, and freight trains
had remained on the crossing while freight
was unloaded, when il seemed that the
train could be separated and not delay
travel so much. The street was n thorough
fare that was much used and the delay
much more than necessary.

York and New England road, said he was
preparing n plan to present 20 the com
mittee, and asked that the hearing be
postponed week. and there being no
