ORGANIZED ROBBERS.
The Police Department is After
Them and Thew Must Go,

The numerous petty robberies which
have of late disturbed the peace of Provi-
dence citizens have aroused the police
force to increased activity in the detection
of the criminals. Several watches have
been reported as stolen from the second
district and the other precincts have also
suffered from the depredations of the
probably organized gang of burglars.
The arrest of William Boney by Detec.
tive Murray yesterday disclosed the fact
that he was running fence for gang
of petty, sneak thieves and served TO show
how thoroughly banded together the gang
were. Numerous hall robberies have oc-
Cured recently aud the clothesline thief
has got his work in" in good earnest.
IL has only been few weeks since the
region Of the Crawford street bridge was
reported as invested by garroters, but the
quick ana effective work of the depart
ment soon stopped this scare.
At any rate there Is every indication of
a thoroughly organized band of burglars
having their headquarters in this city, and
1t will not be long before they are cleaned
out and the organization broken up.

SEVERAL MORE DON'TS.
Views of Democratic Governors on
the Snap Convention.
NO SANDWICH SIGN NEEDED.
The Early Convention Reprobated all
Round-wnn Both Cleveland and Hill
be Dropped and Western Man Taken?
The Fatal Suspicion of Intrigue.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The following
questions have been propounded by the
World 10 Democratic Governors through
out the country:
First-Do you think IL right for New
York to elect her delegation To Chicago
120 days before the national convention.
Second-Do you think n delegation so
elected will have any moral or decisive in
1uence
Third-Do you think solid Hill delega-
ton from New York means Hills nomi-
nation
Fourth-Do you think that IL would
prevent Cleveland's nomination
Gov Russell, of Massachusetts,, replies
that he doesn't want TO talk about New
York State politics but he is heart and
soul in favor of the nomination OF Mr.
Cleveland" Gov. Fleming, of Florida,
saws: "A delegation selected thus would
exert much less influence in "A general con-
vention and would initiate against party
success"
Gov. Eagle of Arkansas says:
IF Hill secured solid delegation
through intrigue IL would in my iudg-
ment have "a tendency TO defeat before the
convention.
II am inclined 10 believe IL would also
prevent Cieveland's nomination"
Gov Buchanan of Arkansas sends n non
committal answer, leaning towards Hill.
Gov. Winans of Michigan says: | think
the natural result of the whole matter
will be the defeat of both Cleveland and
Hill and the nomination of Western
man"
Gov. Fleming of West Virginia, doesn't
think a solid Hill delegation means Hills
nomination. Gov. Burke of North Da-
kota, Republican, looks TO see the Demo
Gratis nominate Palmer. Gov. Peck of
Wisconsin says Hill doesn't need any
sandwich signs; il the people want him
they can find him. Gov. Tillman of
South Carolina is bitter anti-Cleveland
man and says a solid New York deleCa-
ton for any candidate will carry great
weight with the convention. Gov. Flower
of New York smiled and answered rs Hill
would have him.
Gov. Holt of North Carolina says Feb.
o. is too early. Gov. Northen OF Georgia
saws New York's ~ votes should count no
more thau any other q. Gov. Jones OF
Alabama SAYS a solid delegation from New
York in favor of Senator Hin, elected at
the usual period, would go far 70 assure
his nomination. A delegation elected at
an unusually early period would proba-
bly, result in setting aside both candidates
from New York.
Gov. Toole of Montana thinks both
Cleveland and Hill may be eliminated.
Mckinney OF Virginia. wouldn't talk.
Gov. Albeit OF New Jersey thought IL
none of his business. Gov. Baxter OF
Wyoming opposed the snap and Hoies OF
Iowa thought it mot in good taste for a
man with n nursing boom to give an

DARING ESCAPE
From the Topedo Station, Leaving
His Irons Behind Him.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

NEWPORT, Feb 16.-A general court
martial was in session last week at the
Torpedo Station for the trial of Seaman
Gunner Joseph Ceremac on a charge of
larceny of certain electrical apparatus, the
property of the United States Govern
ment. Lieut.. Dickens, L. ;. NJ. c., in
charge of the marine guard Mt Coasters
Harbor Island, was judge advocate-gen-
eral, aud his duties were rendered compar-
atively easy by the prisoner pleading
guilty to the charge. The findings of the
court had been sent 10 Washington and in
the meantime Ceremac was confined in
the brig at the station in irons. Last Sat.
urday night Coxswain Summers of the
Stiletto was captain of the watch, but left
his duties in the care of a subordinate and
came ashore. When his relief came to re-
port il was found that the prisoner was
gone, leaving his irons behind him. Con-
sidering the location of the Torpedo sta
tion, il was matter of sheer impossible .
ity for him To escape in suca~a manner
without the connivance of his associates on
the island, and the affair is a source Of
much modification TO Commander Jewell
and his staff.
Coxswain Summers has been arrested
and placed in irons and will undoubtedly
be tried by a summary court martial.
Commander Jewell has offered reward
of so for the apprehension of the escaped
prisoner. At "a late hour last night IL was
learned on what seemed good authority
that Ceremac had not yet left Newport,
and there was fair prospect Of his arrest
IL he attempted to leave the city.

. Eight More Cases in New York.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-The steamship
companies have notified their foreign
agents not to accept any more Russian
Hebrew exiles
Eight more cases of typhus fever de-
veloped yesterday. They were all from
the Massilia's cargo of Russian refugees.
There was an exceedingly touching in
cident at the pest house on North Brother
Island late Sunday night One of the
young married women of the party of sick
Jews gave birth 10 child. The young
mother was raving with the delirium of
typhus in its most critical stage when the
child came into the world. The poor
little thing only opened its eyes to close
them again, and that forever. The mother
knew nothing Of her babe. 1t is probable
that she, too will die.
Yesterday DIR. Edison received dispatch
from Trenton, y. j., in which this city
was asked to take two typhus patients, as
the pest house in the New Jersey capital
was filled with smallpox patients. The
request was promptly denied.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 16.-Nine passengers
on the infected ship Massillia have been
located here, and great alarm exists lest
the infection spread. Two of the immi-
grants are known to be very sick but they
are SO concealed by their fellow country
men that it is next to impossible to learn
their conditions. The health officers and
local physicians have been notified of their
presence and are now securing the country
in search Of them.
One of the unfortunate passengers was
found last evening. He said the scene in
the steerage was something terrible, and
would hardly be believed. Our suffer
ings were something / cannot described.
The ships hold and in fact the entire yes
sci was filled and crowded with hundreds
of people and all of us were living in the
midst of filth and stencil.
When the disease first broke out we
were kept in ignorance OF its nature until
after perhaps fifty patients were down
with it."
When asked if any of the foreigners who
came TO Pittsburg or New Castle were
sick he said: "They were sick Of course,
but how sick or of what disease l could
not say"
Another case of typhus was reported to
the board of health this morning, AN Italian
immigrant by the steamer Massilia. He
was refused admittance TO the hospital
and will be cared for at his boarding

DIME NOVEL HEROES.
A Remarkably Lively Time I'm Union VII
lage on sunday.

WooNsocKET Feb. 16.-The peaceful
quiet of last Sunday was rudely broken
upon by the lawless actions of three young
desperadoes in Union Village, just beyond
the outskirts of the Second Ward in
Woonsocket.
Mrs. Joanna Marsh, an elderly lady, who
lives alone in a retired spot in that village,
was alarmed TO see three boys come on to
her premises wearing black masks and
carrying revolvers, which they freely dis
played The frightened lady ordered the
BOYS TO leave. but they threatened to shoot
her. and fOurishing their firearms, they
frightened her into the house, where,
after locking the door, she tremblingly
awaited further developments.
The young desperadoes then fired two or
three shots into the house, and then tax.
ing a stand i'm front Of the house, INDUCED
in target practice at the windows, break
ing several panes and nearly throwing the
old lady into Mysteries. One shot passed
through the sitting room window and,
striking the plastering, fell To the hoor.
Several of the bullets were picked up in
the house. They seemed to be OF y cal
ibre.
The young bandits finally departed and
were seen later passing the city asylum.
Mrs. Marsh notified her neighbOrs OF the
assault. but the Woonsocket police did
not get word until yesterday afternoon.
Judging from the age and makeup OF the
bows they were probably trying to imi-
tate the deeds OF some imaginary hero
with whom their brains had been fired by
reading dime novels. The boys are still at
large.
