SELLING OUT THE SOCIETY.
The Auction of the State Fair So
ciety'S Property at a Sacrifice.

The property in the office and rooms of
the Society for the Encouragement of Do
mestic Industry was sold at public auc-
tion at 10 o'clock to-day. Attachments
had been placed on the personal property
OF the society by the following parties !;
Tilden, Thurber q Co., $500; l.. A, Till
inghast Company. 500; The american
Passmeter Company of New York, ~ 900 !;
W. r.. Lovegrove. SIS.
Andrew Mckenzie was the constable in
charge and acted IA auctioneer.
The only bid was one of 500 by George
W. Williams, and the property i'm the Of
fees was Knocked down to him. Mr.
Williams is understood TO he one of the
members who has been opposed TO the
present management of the society.
j. II. Blodgett who represents the Amer
lean passmeter Co, and X. w. Burbank
who represents Tilden & Thurber, were
late in arriving and, although the auc-
tioneer waited some time for another bid
there was none forthcoming, but in all
probability had these representatives been
present there would have been more than
one bid. The personal property at Nara
gansett Park was sold at l o'clock, those
interested taking the 1918 train from the
city.
The property at the park was at once
bid for, aud the price was a little better
than that on the office furniture. II was
finally sold to George w. Williams. who
bought the other property. for $500. The
property sold includes all the personal be-
iongings of the society at Narragansett
Park, and consists chiefly of implements
used in the care of the grounds, few
hogs and sundry small articles. 1t looks
as if the property was still To remain in
the possession of the society. The sum
paid will barely satisfy the first mort gage
of $500 held by the l.. \. Tillinghast Co.

AN EXCELLENT REPORT.
Some of the Interesting Points in

City Auditor Nisbet's annual report con-
tains several new features which il has

the water works, showing the cost of CON
struction, maintenance, interest on tenn
porary loans, interest. discount and prem
ium on bonds, etc, so that at a glance the
whole condition may be seen. The same
is done with regard TO the sewers, except
as TO giving credit to the sinking fund
which is not possible because two of the
accounts are mixed up with the city hall
losu.
The schedules Of real estate and personal
property have also been roarranged
The public property is 80 arranged that
1t may be compared by wards and also
by school districts. The summary of the
property held by the city il very clear,

I'm dead man now" cried Samuel
Bird in the Sixth District Court this
morning. 'rm dead man now," but a
lievelier dead man was never seen, as the
keepers hustled around trying TO keep
him on the bench. "The Lord told me I'd
be dead man at the bottom Of sthe sea,

hospital he sang. and the audience
smiled. Bird possessed "a vein of humor

As he was taken out of the court room
he lifted his voice in song and caused the

as he sharply called the spectators TO or

Daniel Hatton, charged with an assault
on Rose Jordan was adjudged probably
guilty and was bound over To the March
term OF the Court of Common Pleas. Hat
ton, IL will be remembered, was arrested
early In October on "A complaint issued by
Rose Jordan. charging him with assault
ing her violently and breaking her foot
and collar bone. At that time the Jordan
woman was so badly injured AS TO need
medical treatment and she was placed un-
der the care of the physician at the state
Institution. Hatton made strong fight,
but was held over for trial before the
higher court.
At occasional intervals in the session
the musical wall of Samuel Bird came
noatlng in the doorway and enliyened the
usual tediousness of the session.
Louis Costello, the Italian who threw
the file hitting Thomas Parker on the
forehead recently, retracted his plea OF
not guilty and pleaded guilty. He was
fined $40 and costs.
Thomas Conway, charged with an as
sault on Stephen McMaugh, was fined Sl5
and costs. McMaugh testified that he had
Just left his saloon on the night in ques-
ton and was proceeding up Atwell's ave
enue, when Conway sprang from this
shadow of fence and attacked him. Con
way testified that McMaugh owed him
$3.50. which testimony was Indignantly
denied by the plaintiff However, the
amount claimed was an unlucky number,
and Conway was found guilty.
Mary Robinson, charged with being a
common night walker, was sentenced for
six months 10 the StaJe work house.
Annie Lucas, fined - and costs for
stealing "A pair of shoes, and Alexander ID.
Swan, for selling adulterated milk, for

ONLY ONE IDENTIFIED.
Gas in the Mine Caused the Awful
Krebs ExpIoSion.

McALLIsTER, /. T., Jan. Sat the time
of the explosion in the Usage mine at
Krebs last night there were $50 men in
the shaft, and eighty-five men came out
by an old entry and forty-two were saved
by the shaft. This leaves about 223 men
still in the mine.
Of the ten men brought out this morn
ing only one could be identified, so hor-
ribly were they torn and bruised. The
cause of the explosion was the firing OF a
shot when there was gas in the mine.
Kelton was picked up and taken into
the caboose No bones were broken.

Wants Pay for Injured Feeling.

In the Court of Common Pleas before
Kelly against Thomas Flanagan for
breach of promise was called for trial. The
plaintiffs story is to the effect than Flan-
nigan asked her hand in marriage i'm 1888,
and that the date for the event was
arranged, and that she had put herself TO
considerable trouble and expense 10 get
ready for the occasion, when she discov-
cred that Flanagan no longer loved her.
She places damages at $1,000. Flanni-
gan makes IA flat denial Of everything, aud
says he never mentioned marriage TO the

Our Farmer Friends.

The Thrd-party movement, IN the
South at least. has recently received
three heavy blows.
The first was the adoption OF the Min
neapolis force-bill platform the So
cond was the denomination OF Mr.. hAR-
RIsoN, and the third was the death OF
Colonel Polk.
In the two first we see renewal OF the
Republican pHrpose 20 persecute the
South, and the time will soon come when
our Allance-men and aRriculturists gene
rally will plainly realize that 70 vote
for Third. party man is TO give
aid and comfort 80 our old enemy
the enemy which would put the ne
grocs in control Of our state. city,
and county governments. We THINK
il will not be difficult to show the
farmers that the best course they can
pursue is 20 90 into our nominating
conventions and aid in selecting proper
men for Congress, and then proceed TO
the polls and vote for these nominees ana
for the nominees Of the Chicago con-
vertion.
II will be well-uigh impossible for the
Third-party men 20 eli the place OF Colo.
mel Polk. He was peculiarly well qualiiied
for the position that he held; certain
ly. so far as reaching the southern pubic
was concerned. aud he had an enthusiasm
and industry in his work not often met
with. His death is a severe blow to ms
partv. Ii may not wreck 1t, but that II
will damage it great deal there can be no
question.
II prudence prevails in the Chicago con
vention we expect to see the Third party
disappear from tho southern States.

MAD" Dogs.

Now Norfolk has "a mad-dog epidemic

Yesterday killed five dogs. oil of which
we're supposed TO be mad. and it IS stated
that these FIVE had bitten twenty five other
dogs.
How many the twenty-five have bitten
has not yet been stated; but If this thing
goes on somebody down there may get
hurt.
Here IN Richmond more deaths Of people
have been caused by dogs bowling o'nlghts
and keeping nervous men and women ana
sick children awake than by hydrophobia
but still we cannot say that our citizens are
without fear of mad dogs, and there Is an
unmistakable demand that ali OF the pre-
yentive laws that we have on this sub
ject should be enforced.
