There was barely quorum of Senators

The docket of unfinished business was

Senator Woods presented petition for
an act ef incorporation of the Beneficial

OF few routine matters the Senate ad-
journed, after being in session less than
80 minutes.
In the House the annual report of the
Adiutant General and Commissioner OF
Dams and Reservoirs were received from
the Senate. There was nothing of any
public Importance transacted and at II :35
O'Clock the House adjourned.
Immediately after adjournment, quite a
breeze was started by Representative
Salisbury OF this city asking Representa-
tive Darling for his opinion on the recon-
mendation OF the Governor relative to the
closing OF the polls at o'clock. The
latter said he did not entirely like the
proposition.
These remarks were overheard by
Representative Kendall OF Providence and
he at once launched forth against such a
proposition.
He said no doubt it would benefit the
Republicans temporarily, but he for one
was not in favor OF party prime pies at the
expense of the voters, or in other words,
he wanted every opportunity given to
every voter, let him be beggar or banker,
rich or poor, wage-earncr or manufac-
turer, TO cast his ballot for the man or

any such legislation as would tend to

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
John E. Eaton Arrested and John
Mulvey Near Death.

John 4. Eaton, lightning rod agent,
is prisoner, charged with murderous
assault with a razor, and John Mulvey, a
young fellow recently discharged from
State Prison, lies in the hospital very
near to dea h, rs the result Of drunken
quarrel In a house on Blackstone street
in Providence last evening.
Eaton is man about 46 years old, who
is a native of this city and has wife and
one child living in Fall River. For some
time he has been living with a woman
named Hannah McCoomo on Blackstone
street, Providence.
About week ago John Mulvey termi-
State Prison at Cranston, having been
convicted Of breaking and entering a
Pawtucket liquor saloon.
Yesterday afternoon Mulvey went to
the squalid tenement occupied by Eaton
and Mrs. McCoomb, and sent the latter 8
little boy out for a pint OF liquor. The
liquor was drank, and in a maudlin way
Mulvey embraced the woman. Mrs. Nc
Coomb admits having sat on his knee, and
suggested that this might have made
Eaton jealous.
She says that Mulvey insulted the other
woman and was ordered by Eaton to
leave the house. Mulvey was drunk
enough to be ugly. He called Eaton foul
names and defied him, and finally attacked
him. He knocked Eaton down twice and
Mrs. McCoomb went to call a policeman.
After she left Mulvey went out OF the
tenement and Eaton went into bed room
and laid down. Mulvey did not leave the
house, however, but returned, declaring
he was going to thrash Eaton.
Mulvey was defiant and the two men
clinched. The witnesses declare that they
did not see weapon used, saying they
could not be made to testify against Eaton.
In the struggle Mulvey was slashed with
n razor which Eaton had taken from the
bed room, and received wound some six
inches in length, from the left temple
downward in front Of the ear, and INTO
the throat. He rushed out o. the tene-
ment and tumbled headlong down the
stairs. The blood gushed from the gbastl y
wound.
Eaton has been arrested. Mulvey, who
has been taken to the hospital, is in a
dangerous condition.
