WILL THE FAIR he HELD.

Elaborate Plans of Cos. X, and III. for
Fair Nipped In the Bud.
The members of Cos. K. r and Fl, r. /.
NJ. are greatly exercised over the falling
through of their plans for a fair which
was to be held by the three companies In
the near future.
The committee of arrangements had
prepared an elaborate program OF attrac-
tions and events, and tickets and pro-
grams had been printed announcing the
proposed grand event.
Unfortunately for the COMMITTEES, how
ever, when an application was presented
TO the military committee petitioninR Tor
the privilege Of holding the fair IT was re-
fused.
Brig. Gen. Kendall gave az his reasons
for refusing the request, the fact that
when the militia applied to the General
Assembly for free rent TO the armory
the statement was made that the COM
panies could not pay the large rent de-
manded. and that 1t was found necessary
to hold fairs in order to meet the expense.
He stated that inasmuch as the request
was granted 1t would not be just rignt to
grant the privilege asked.
He, however, claimed that as the fair is
for the purpose of raising money to pay
off the debt contracted by the companies
during the weeks performance OF
"A Fair Rebel" last season at the Opera
House, the statement In the General
Assembly should not be considered in
this case. The military committee have
the matter under consideration.

Warwick's officials Looking Into
the Typhoid Epidemic.
ispEcIAL TO rHE NEws.i


WARWICK. Sept. l4.-The members OF
the town council have notified DIR. Albert
Sprague of River Point to have thor
ough investigation made In regard to the
sanitary condition OF the town, and TO
cause the residents of the different vii
lagos TO properly dispose Of all decayed
vegetables and everything OF putrid
nature.
The various cesspools and drains are to
be examined and everything possible VIII
be done tn avoid an epidemic. AT Natick
the cellars are being cleaned out ana
every available means Is being used by
Mr.. knight TO prevent spread or
typhoid. There are some cases In the
town but not nearly as many as has been
Ex-Goy Henry Howard was interviewed
by the NEWS reporter this morning at
Phenix and said that the village Of Har-
ris was very clean and no vegetable mat
ter or filth was ever allowed 10 accumu-
late as he resided in the village and had
always made 1t a point TO look out for
those things. There were no cases OF
fever among any OF the operatives at Har-
ris or Phenix that he was aware OF.
DIR. Charpentier OF Centreville, for
merly medical examiner of the town. was
also interviewed, and said he was positive
there were not over ten cases or typhoiu,
and that most of the patients were on
speedy way to recovery.
Other prominent physicians, however,
state there are many cases that have not
been made public. and that the Pawtuxet
water will receive more or less germs OF
the disease, and il it spreads it will be
owing TO the drinking Of Pawtuxet
water unboiled. 1t is a noticeable fact
that typhoid makes its appearance In the
valley yearly, and the cause must ori2i-
nate from the hundreds of cespools aud
drains that are not properly looked after.
The Italians have never brought the
disease, as to the knowledge OF the many
physicians none or them have ever been
attacked by symptoms Of typhoid.
The disease cannot be transmitted
through the mails and will be more likely
to visit PROVIDENCE by means OF the
Pawtuxet river than Ia any other man
ner.
12:45 p. M.-Dr. Fisher of PROVIDENCE
was met at the Pawtuxet Valley depot at
half past twelve to-day by DIR. Albert
Sprague of River Point, and in company
with NEWS reporter, will make tho
rough investigation In regard to the vari-
ons cases Of typhoid fever this afternoon.
DIR. Sprague who Is one of Warwick's
Oldest physicians, does not believe there
is as many cases as reported, but all the
patients, cesspools, privies and vaults,
will be visited In company with other
doctors to-day and q report rendered
which will state the exact condition OF
affairs as they now exist.
