MASKED BURGLARS AT WORK.
Attempt to Enter House on War
wick Neck k--RevoIver Discharged.

WARWICK NECK, Sept. 7.-Early Sun
day morning burglars attempted to enter
the residence of Fred L. Grinnell OH War
wick Neck. 1t was about 3 o'clock when
a colored employe was awakened by the
flashing of a light from a lantern, and ap-
house. He left his sleeping quarters to
investigate the strange light. While
making his way to the rear he ran di.
rectly into the burglar, and in his sur
prise grasped the vandal about the waist.
The burglar at the time was looking
away from the house and so the employe
came upon him back to. This was tor
tunate. for undoubtedly it saved him
from serious injury, if not from being
murdered. For in tie consequent strug-
gle to escape the burblar twisted himself
partly around and fired a revolver at his
captor. The ball went through the crown
of the hat. The captor loosened his hold
and the burglar escaped. His flight was
to a boat. in which were two men, all of
whom rowed away into the darkness.
Investigation revealed that large pane
of glass in ore of the windows had Deen
cut away, aud the lower sash raised. 1t
is thought that the first man did this and
that his lantern signal was to notify the
two waiting In the boat to come on, that
everything was ready for a thorough
looting of the premises. 1t is said the
burglar wore a mask. The house is on
the cove sid. of Warwick Neck, and it is
thought the boat and its occupants came
from the East Greenwich snore.
Mr.. GrnnelPs family was away at the
time, but two elderly ladies were staying
there, together with the servants aud
the hostlers.

POINTS ON POLITICS.
What is Being Said Of City and Con-
gressionaI Elections.

In political circles there Is beginning to
be considerable interest In the coming
events of the campaign. Since Chairman
Goodwin issued the call for meeting of
the State Central Committee, at which
plans will be made and the State Conven-
tions called, there has been moro talk In
regard to the candidates.
In regard to the Congressional candi-
dates of the Republican party there Is
still talk OF Adm Il. Capron on Warren
O. Arnold In the second district, aud
Ellery III. Wilson in the first district.
There is some mention of other candi-
dates but not much. No one Is as vet
prominently mentioned in the first dis
Caprop aud Mr.. Arnold are talked OF as
strong men in the second. The general
sentiment seems to be that the Repub-
lcans will without doubt elect both OF
their candidates this year.
1t is much too early to give any definite
idea of the standing of the candidates for
the mayoralty In this city. There is very
little said yet on either side. The chief
point OF interest at present is as TO the at
titue Of the Democrats with regard to
Mayor Potter. There seems to be consid-
erable doubt whether he will b, renomi-
mated and there are the usual number OF
Democrats talking OF James McNally,
although his name may not come w in
the convention at ALL He has been
brought forward SO often and has met
with such violent opposition from the
other Democratic faction that his sup
porters may give way. Most persons who
presume to predict say that the Demo-
Gratis are not Sin IL" this year IL the Re-
publicans bring out "A good man.
A prominent man in political affairs
said to-day that he understood that Gen.
Elisha Dyer was likely To be "A candidate
for the nomination Of Mayor on the Re
publican ticket.
In regard to the National election II
may be said that tie Republicans will
make one Of the best campaigns on record
in RHODE ISLAND and will carry the State
by a large majority by the votes OF peo--
pie who have good work, good wages and
comfortable homes and do not care to
jeopardize their interests.
