SHEEHAN'S LIFE SAVED.
A Sensational Fire at East Providence
Last Evening.
THE OWNER WAS DRAGGED OUT.
He Must Have Been Pretty Drunk and
Had Conc TO Sleep on the Floor
The Horse Could Not BE saved-Two
Sections Of Hose Burst.

ran alarm OF fire was rung In at 915
last evening, for barn on Valley street,
East Providence, owned by john Shee-
han. Charles Slocum was the first one to
reach the scene of the confederation.
Hearing the horse kicking he made his
wav into the barn on his hands and knees,
thinking he might be able to rescue the
horse. A short distance from the door he
found the body of man lying on his side
with his head on his arm. He, dragged
the body out of the blazing building, and
found it was the owner of the barn, John
Sheehan, who was very much under the
influence Of liquor Sheehan's face and
hands were badly burned.
The fire department responded with
their customary alacrity and in a very
short time the hose cart was on hand but
owing to the long distance TO the nearest
hydrant only one line of hose could be
brought to bear on the fire. The fire was
under control from the start, although
had il not been for the timely arrival OF
the hose cart the house would have been
burned as well as the barn. The fire un-
doub; edly started from an overturned
lantern, as Sheehan had arrived home but.
a short time before aud had probably just
put up the horse.
The barn aud contents, including the
horse, valued at 500, and some hay and
tools, were totally destroyed. and as there
was no insurance WAS total loss.
Two sections of hose burst in the midst
of crowd OF curious spectators, and
caused considerable amusement to those
who were too far away to be wet.
II fires are to occur with such frequency,
it seems as il 1t would be policy to have
some sort Of alarm system, as in the
present case some person had to run to
the fire station before the alarm could be
rung, thus losing much valuable time.

AGAMBLER'S LAST SHOT
Charles Rosenfeld Of New York Kills
Himself in Paris.
HIS HIGH PLAY AT MONTE CARLO.
First He Won and Then He Lost All He
Had and More-The Red Cross Con-
ference I'm Rome-Notes Of the Great
Cotton Strike.

NICE, April 2o-After the news, prob
ably read by English speaking people
throughout the world, of Mr.. Rosenfeld's
high play at Monte Carlo. the fact of his
suicide In Paris yesterday created an i'm
mense surprise here. This is the Charles
Rosenfeld. the American diamond ,ner-

made sensation second only to those OF
G. II. Wells.
He returned to the Riviera little while
ago and began losing heavily and contin-
uously. He continued till day or two
ago, when he left for Paris. having lost
all the money he had with him. He also
cashed checks to the tune of $50. 900 or
e35, 900, which he also lost.
Yesterday the manager of the Nice
bank, who cashed the checks, had tele-
gram from Rosenfeld, I'm Paris stating
that before it was received he would have
shot himself. 1t is not known how much
he lost.

HONEY EATS HIS WORDS.
First He Says Redivision is Neces-
sary, and Now It Isn't.
IT is A GROSS INCONSISTENCY.

Dear No, Says Honey.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS. I

NEWPORT, April 22-The bill for redis-
tricting the city of Newport presented in
the House of Representatives on Wednes-
day by the Hon. John j. Peckham has
once more stirred up the political pot,
even to boiling over, and to the lead
ers Of the local Democracy was veritable
bombshell. There Is howl in camp, and
the cry Of wolf is heard on every side.
The Newport Herald comes out In a
denunciatory article headed, "An Out
rage" and attempts to characterize the
bill as forcing yoke upon the people who
cast off the Republican party and its pol
icy at the polls and that a plan for reor-
ganization is in line with that followed in
other parts of the State, but the editorial
fails to give any data for this last state
ment. 1t then says: 1t need not be said
that were the city government in the
hands of Republicans this barefaced
scheme would never be thought of. Its
purpose is SO manifest that no one can
mistake il.
This last statement Is an extraordinay
one aud the writer of il must have bad
memory or else he Is unfamiliar with the
history of city affairs for the past four
months; probably this latter is the case.
As the excitement is so intense it will be
OF interest to reproduce here that portion
OF the mayors inaugural message writ
ten by the hand of the Hon. Samuel II.
Honey and indited by himself to his con.
stituents on the 4th day of January last.
Not word is taken from 1t or added to,
but it is copied verbatim from the inaug-
ural:
WARD LINES.
There should be a readjustment OF ward
lines. As at present drawn there exists a
great inequality in the numbers of the voters
in the various wards. At the canvas of the
voting lists preceding the last municipal cleo
ton the numbers were as follows:

pointed to prepare plans and report at a
future meeting. This committee was
composed entirely Of Democrats. The Re-
publican minority was ignored.
The Newport Netcs is regarded by both
parties politically as an independent or
columns yesterday about hits the nail on
the head. 1t says:
1t will be remembered that the Democrats
took the initiative in this matter. Early in
the municipal year IL was resolved to proceed
with this work, and the City Council took
preliminary action TO bring about the desired
changes. "A committee was ordered by that
body to prepare plan, and to report In due
time. This was eminently just and proper in
view of existing conditions. But when the
president of the Common Council announced
the appointment of that committee, it was
seen that every member was Democrat. In
the Board of Aldermen this was cessarily
so. rs that branch is solidly of that party
But in the lower branch there is a large and
intelligent minority which, according TO all
parliamentary rules, was entitled TO a repre-
sentation. This departure from almost i'm
memorial custom and universal practice
could not fail To awaken suspicious o. a CON-
ing gerrymander, and go far towards LAYING
the foundation for the present movement on
the part of the Republicans. who were thus
excluded not only from participation in, but
also from knowledge of, what was going on,
in a matter In which all alike were inter-
ested. Such proceeding on the part OF the
majority was wholly indefensible, as every
one must admit.
IL musS be admitted that four months
Is ample time for the committee to have
done something. IL IL was only to organ
ize. but even this has not yet been done
though it Is understood that an immediate
meeting is TO be held for this purpose, and
to lay plans for defeating the object Of the
bill now before the legislature. Time
