HAVE We LOST IT?
Woonsocket May Get
That Mill.
A FEW INSIDE FACTS.
Why Some Capitalists Objected to a
Mill on the Plains.

William X. Sayles told a TRIBUNE re-
porter yesterday afternoon that in all
probability Woonsocket would beat Paw
tucket on that new cotton mill.
Mr.. Sayles has worked hard in trying to
get the industry for this city and one
time it looked as though he would sue
ceed. He offered big tract of land over
on the Plains for a site~-and 1t would have
made a magnificent one-and those inter
ested in the project were given promise,
semi officially, that they would want for
nothing in the way OF water, sewers,
lights, etc.
But Woonsocket had the start of Paw
tucket in the first place, as the gentlemen
principally interested reside there.
All along, however, it has been no secret
that certain capitalists were continually
throwing cold water on the project. They
were afraid that il a big mill was located
on the Plains it would make the First
Ward Democratic.
This statement may not be pleasing to
some people but the TRIBUNE gives it on
the authority of gentlemen who have pur-
chased stock in the enterprise, who live in
this city, and who are Republicans them
selves.

books OF record from an historical stand
point, and he told Of many books which
he examined, and told Of interesting facts
connected with them. He then spoke of
rural Virginia, and at the close exhibited

A DECIDEDLY DRY TOWN.
worcester Ciergymen Meet To Take Ao-

Worcester Ciergymen Meet to rake Ao-
tion ON tho Liquor License Question.
WORCESTER. Mass. May 3-The no.
license people of Worcester are stirred up
over the question of druggists licenses.
The saloons oil closed Saturday night for
the year Of no-license, and the aldermen
refuse to grant any siyth.class license To
druggists, In spite Of the law which di-
rects that at least one license shall be is
sued.
There is now no place in the city where
liquor can be- legally purchased for any
purpose. The aldermen take the ground
that TO license all who apply for drug
gists' licenses would practically mean
free rum, and they say they cannot dis
criminate without giving somebody val
liable monopoly and injuring others
equally worthy.
The local Protestant clergymen met
yesterday at the Y. NJ. C. A. building. TO
consider the matter. The general senti-
ment seems to be that unless one or more
druggists are licensed to sell for medicinal
and mechanical purposes, the city will 90
for license next December, as IL did two
years ago. after year of no license.
Some OF the ministers wanted one drug
gist licensed In each ward; others wanted
only three in the whole city. Resolutions
embodying these propositions were offered,
bnt were finally tabled for three weeks to
await the report of committee OF the
most prominent clergymen In the city.

An Anair on Sunday Around which There
Is Some Mystery.

An AFFAIR on Sunday Around which There
is Some Mystery.
There are rumors of shooting affair in
South Woodlawn on Sunday afternoon,
but the police have not yet evidence
enough to warrant any arrests.
Louis Goyette, who resides on Sherman
street, says that on Sunday he went to his
home and found man named Gregory
there with his wife. He put Gregory out
rather unceremoniously, and while he was
doing it Mrs. Goyette, SO he claims, went
into closet and brought forth revolver,
and, levelling it at his head, pulled the
trigger, Goyette knocking her arm up
just in time to prevent being shot. He
took the revolver from her.
Mrs. Goyette makes a somewhat differ
ent statement, as she says her husband
fired at her three times. There was no
tangible evidence to corroberate this
statement. She had a couple of rather
prominent scars upon her forehead.
