The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-11-30

When the people of Providence awoke
this morning and saw the first snow OF
any consequence this winter, they felt
varied emotions. Most people like the
snow. Only those who do outdoor work
or whose business is to some extent inter
fered with have anything 10 complain Of
in regard to it. Anything for change
pleases the people aud it can't be always
summer, you know. The snow this morn
ing seemed to have peculiar propensity
for sticking to things. A nail on wall
would collect great ball of it and il
clung TO the sides of houses and to peo-
ples clothing.
The working people do not mind the
snow very much, as they go to and from
the factories and stores, and the pretty
shop girls are delighted with il, and even
If the pedestrians on Westminster street
experience some Inconvenience they do
not find it any greater than is caused by
the washing of windows in summer.
The girls, OF course, are glad when they
think of sleighrides and parties which
are the delights of winter, although the
sleighrides are scarce enough to give
added delight to them.

Gold and whisky Discovered in the Mis-.
souri, River Yesterday. -'
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 30-A party OF rail
rord inspectors engaged in blasting in
the Missouri River yesterday unearthed
treasure for which speculetors have
searched unsuccessfuly for twenty eight
years. During the winter of 1884, the
John L. Burlington was sunk in the Mis-
souri, River near Rockfort. She was a
large government supply boal. engaged
in carrying food aud ammunition ID the
soldiers down the river.
The vessel was supposed to have had
in her cargo large amount of gold coin,
as well rs valuable supplies.
Late yesterday afternoon one of the ex
plosions hurled large piece of rock
through a sand bar 100 Yards from the
bank. The rock crashed down out of
sight and an investigation showed that {
had penetrated the wreck of the supply
boat, A search of the hold revealed six
skeletons, two kegs of gold. a large
quantity OF -four and five barrels Of
whisky. The upper part of the vessel
has not yet been searched and it is
thought that a large quantity of valua-
bic goods will be found there.

THAT SAME OLD STORY.
A Bright Young Man Ruined by
Drink.
THE WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE
Once They Had Happy Home, But
suddenly the Husband Began to Grow
Into a Beast. and Kept Going Down
ward Until He Lost All Pride.

The old, old story Of the downfall of a
| promising young man, caused by his in
satiable desire for strong drink, was re-
told before Judge Wilbur in the Supreme
Court this morning. in the hearing of the
petition of Hattie c. Carey for divorce
from Benjamin NJ. Carey of Bristol. The
grounds on which the petition is based
are non-support and continued drunken
ness. Miller and Brown, counsel for the
petitioner. submitted the case on the
sworn depositions of several witnesses,
and the facts therein stated are substan-
TALLY as follows:
Benjamin NJ. Carey and his wife were
married in 1887. and for a number of
years lived happily together. Carey was
a smart, bright young man of excellent
standing and reputation, while his wife
was "a most estimable young lady of a
sweet disposition. The husband held
high position in the National Rubber
Company in Bristol, where th. couple
then lived. and was scrupulously neat
ana careful i'll dross and appearance.
All at once Cary began to act strangely,
and il was found that he hal got to
drinking strongly before he was suspect
ed of il His friends did all in their
power TO dissuade him from the course
he was pursuing, but all TO no purpose
he grew steadily worse. He would leave
the office and stay in barn belonging to
the works, aud at night ask the watch
man to keep HIM.
He would be gone from home two and
three days at time. On one occasion he
lay insensible drunk in his yard, and his
wife came out aud after while succeeded
in getting him into the house. At another
time he lay drunk In the parlor of his
house while his wife was seriously i'll in
another room, and by order of the family
physician he was taken from the
house and locked up More than
once he stayed away from home at his
sisters, and his wife would 20 after him
and entreat him to come home She was
always patient with him, and he re-
peatedly remarked when spoken to by
friends that he mad the best wife in the
world.
On account OF his habits Carey was
finally discharged from the rubber COM
pany. AT the solicitation of his friends
he was taken back, but was again dis
charged ms no improvement was forth
coming. In July, 1891, the couple came
to Providence, when after five months of
"A similar character the husband left his
wife in December, 1891, and has never
returned. Since that time his wife has
supported herself principally by giving
music lessons.
Carey is now at Bristol, aud friend
who saw him short time ago says he
does not look at all like his former self,
but appears like "a man who has lost ali
his pride and selfestcem.
fhe petition of Hattie Chadwick for a
divorce from James Chadwick was also
heard this morning The petitioner and
"A sister testified to the defendants nom
support and desertion Of his wife a year
ago last December.

ordinary plow that covers the cow

How the City Handles IL.

The hauling of the snow in the princi.
pal streets Of the city after heavy fall
is matter of considerable Importance.
IL is not often necessary to remove the
snow in order TO assist in travel and to
clean the streets, but it is ways best TO
avoid the possibility of large amount
of surface water which would De caused
by the melting of large quantities of
snow. In very few instances is the
amount OF surface water so large that
the sewers could not carry it with the
greatest ease, but owing to the presence
of snow banks Ut the sewer openings the
water often has no chance to run off aud
remains standing in the streets and gut
ters causing any amount of annoyance to
pedestrians.
The city of Providence has a winter
force OF $50 men upon which IL can call at
any time to man the carts and shovel the
snow off the streets. These men are
those who are employed through the sum
mer in laving paving blocks and for
whom there is no work in that line in the
winter In the city of New York the
employed about six months in the year,
while the citv of Providence paws
then 2.25 to 81 80 per day and agrees To
furnish them work all the year round.
The men are engaged with the under

kept busy in the city yard screening
gravel and getting material ready for
the opening work in the highways
in the spring Then when the
heavy SHOWS come THESE men are taken out
of the city yard and put to work with
shovels on the snow. The city finds it
more economical to pay the PAYERS this
way as they are a skilled class of laborers
whom it is not always easy To find in the
spring when wanted and by giving them
employment ali the year at fair wages,
the city is assured OF a competent force
of PAYERS as well as a sufficient number
of shovelers to handle any fall OF snow
that ever came TO Providence.
The city has many carts and can pro-
cure as many AS wanted at very short
notice, as they are almost drug in the
market. The snow is carted away and
dumped on open lots. where it's melting

the past two winters the land on the old
Cove basin has received its full share of
this surplus snow, and il is probable that
the same will be true this winter. The
present snow storm has not caused any
such precautions as yet though if il
should snow for twenty four hours longer
il is very probable that some of il would
need to be removed,

The Police and Firemen.

The cold, stormy nights and days OF the
winter season, are especially annoying to

all sorts and varieties of weather. While

On Oct 49, 1891 two inches of snow fell
