Sergeant Ling Of Fall River No
Longer a Policeman.
SHE WILLED OVER A MILLION.
New England A. 1t Is and What IL "a
Deing--A New Company with . Large
Capital VIII Manufacture Yarns In
Fall River.

FALL RIVER, Mass, May 4.-The latest
police scandal collapsed last night by the
summary dismissal OF Sergeant William
b. Ling from the force. The committee
made lengthy report, from which the
following extracts are taken, showing
that great feeling has been engendered;
'Ths testimony OF the officers was dam
aging because of the evident desire they
displayed for the suppressing OF some
facts. Again, IL common reports can be
relied upon, this man has been a disturb
ing element In the force for years"
1--WE believe that sll good citizens,
whose lives and property are In the hands
Of these guardians OF the peace
demand that the police department, from
Its officers down, should be given to
understand that there Is something more
than wearing brass buttons to be required
of them; thst they should be made to un-
derstand that they are not on the force
for the protection Of those who defy the
law, and that their friends hereafter
must be taxpayers and law abiding citi-
zens, who demand that they shall be ef-
ficient and always to do their duty fear
lessly, without favor"
"No policeman need fear the result OF
his having done his duty, or respecting
the badge which was placed on his breast
In confidence"
The dismissal has caused a great stir
In all circles, Ling having long been re-
garded as great power In political and
society circles.

I'VE believe in the principle of protec-

owned in fee by workingmen, savings
bank deposits proportionately exceeding
those of any other country, and an unex-

We heartily approve of the position Of

EVERYONE MAY GUESS.
But It is Hard to Tell What the
Result Will Be.
A VERY SLOW ELECTION.
Some Wards Did shoy Slightly In
creased vote-The wsrdens and su-
pervisors Were Not Overworked-The
Republicans Gained Votes In wsrd 10.

One would hardly have thought there
was an election going on in the city to-day
If he had not been told or happened to
pass polling place. The voting was re-
ported to be very slow and the vote light.
II was stated that the Republicans were
confident that their vote was proportion
ately larger In many wards than at the lat
est attempt. 1t was also stated that the
Democrats. had more carriages in some
districts than the Republicans and were
working harder. One prominent Tenth
ward man said that the Republicans had
twenty-four more votes at o'clock than
at the same hour at the last try"
In Ward -Four at III o'clock there were
252 votes, against PA at the last attempt.
and in Ward Two at 10 o'clock there were
Ala against All at the last attempt, the
three gained being in the second district.
These wards showed a small gain but
then Ward One at 10 o'clock showed q
loss of nine, being 404 against Ala The
other wards were slow and the wardens
and supervisors had good deal Of spare
time. The result OF the voting is hard to
estirnste. Everybody is at liberty to
guess, though, until the wardens' count
is announced

NEWPORT.

Miss Sarah b. Gibbs of New York ar
rived here Saturday night and took rooms
at a private boarding mouse on Catherine
street, pending the putting in order of
her own summer residence, located on the
corner of Buena Vista street aud Rhode
Island avenue. She had made arrange
ments to remove to her cottage this after
noon and was Oh her way there to keep
an appointments with painter when she
fell in the street in q fit. Two men
rushed to her assistance and took her into
her boarding house, a few feet distant.
Everything possible was done for her, but
without effect. She died four hours after
her attack.
The regular monthly meeting of the
city council was held last evening, and in
result was somewhat Of u surprise party
for His Honor Mayor Honey, inasmuch
as one of his allies in the board Of alder
men has got tired Of things being rushed
through as they have been the last few
months, and last night, over the ques-
tion of the purchase OF new steam fire
engine, boldly proclaimed his opposition,
and voted a sturdy nay"
This Is far more serious matter than
would appear ON the surface as Alderman
Crosby is one OF the most respected citi-
zens Of the city and enjoys the confidence
OF the entire community irrespective OF
party politics. Another good honest
Democrat who has broken with the ring
is Councilman Moffit. These are two OF
the best representatives In the city gov
eminent and their influence in making
this break will put curb Oh any rash ac-
tion in future.
The first straight out and out heat took
place at this same meeting and over the
question of redistricting the city In op-
position to the bill lately introduced by
Representative Peckham. IL was reso-
luton embodying petition to the judici-
ary committee of the House Of Represen-
tatives passed the Board of Aldermen.

The petition was for three or more hear

This defeat is a sore one, and is in effect
an ldorsem snt of the bill referred TO. IL
is genuine surprise party and is the sole
topic of conversation this morning among
business men.
For some time the board OF health has
been investigating complaints of Jones
