BILLS BEING PAID.
Treasury Wheels Set in
Motion Today.
MAYOR SIGNS The NOTE,
Matter Concerning Suspended Police
to be Taken Care OF.

Mayor Carroll was ut his Office early this
morning and the monthly bills which
were allowed by the Committee on Ac-
counts Thursday evening were promptly
placed before him by the City Treasurer's
clerk for his approval. The note for the
hiring of money was also handed him.
Az the bills were for the legitimate ex-
penses of the city and needfni supplies
and materials for the various departs ments,
and contained no items which we're ILL
egal, like the police. payrolls or anything
of a kindred nature, he promptly signed
them aud also the note so that the empty
treasury could be replenished and the
wheels again set in motion.
Accordingly parties who have approved
bills against the city are calling at the
Treasurer's Office and getting their pay as
usual.
II is not the intention OF Mayor Carroll
to keep parties who are delivering
material and services to the city out of
their pay because the City Treasurer re-
fuses to obey his mandate on the police
payroll matter. That matter will be taken
care OF In due time.

The Legislature of Rhode Island VIII Uu-
rayei the Newport Tsngle.
A special session OF the Legislature viii
ne held in Providence, probably within
the present month, to frame laws TO cover
the Newport municipal dilemma. Mayor
Honey and the Democratic Aldermen
there refused to fix the different voting
places under the new ward division, and
something has got to be done or the vot-
ers of the second capital city will be
barred from participation in the Presi-
Dental election in November next.
! The Republicans, who had long
special session in midsummer and passed
some extraordinary partisan measures,
and also unseated the entire Democratic
delegation, are now as mad as March hares
over Mayor Honey's latest political coup.
IL is a long time since the Republicans
have been SO thoroughly worked up over
political matters, and the Democrats as
sert that the party leaders are now getting
something in return for the high handed
legislation against Mayor Honey. Lin
coin, Newport and other localities in the
State are fast going over to the Demo-

Board would hardly bother the Repub-
licans but for the fact that their fight

FLOGGING IN SCHOOL.

A Female Teacher Said to Have Exhausted
Herself on One Boy.
II has been said that corporal punish
ment wss practically abolished, or at the
best reduced to such a degree that 1t was
as good as abolished In the public schools.
1t is a"rule" OF the School Committee
that only principals OF schools should ad-
minister corporal punishment. This was
one OF the great arguments why Garden
of wholesome fear Of male principal by
the unruly boys.
There seems to be one female teacher I'm
the Church Hill school who Is not or will
not be governed, however, by rules and
regulations of the School Committee.
School is usually dismissed about 4
O'Clock, but several boys yesterday waited
around the building casting anxious
looks occasionally toward the door as II
evidently expecting to see some person
emerge therefrom.
An inquiry caused them to remark that
one of the female teachers had detained
three OF the pupils after school In order,
as she expressed 1t before school was dis
missed, "to give them such fiogging that
they would never dare to give offence for
a repetition OF It,"
About half past 4 O'Clock one boy
emit rged tearfully and to his companions
who were In waiting asserted bet ween his
broken sobs that he was fogged without
mercy. The lads outside offered consola-
ton and sympathy but 1t was without
avail for a long time.
In a short while after the other two
boys emerged but they said that they got
off easier than the first boy as the teacher
was both tired and somewhat alarmed
over the serious beating the hrst one had
received.

LOOMS WILL STOP.
The Central Falls woolen MIL to shu
Down Indennitcly.

The Central Falls WOODEN Mil to shut
Down Indennitely.
Soon the Central Falls Wooden Mill will
shut down and there is no telling when It
will start up.again.
One OF the owners, when asked about
the shut-d down yesterday, said that 1t
was true, and that the mill would be
closed Just as soon as the orders that are
now In were filed and the stock on hand
worked on. He said that the principal
reason for closing was the poor condition
of the market. There were more goods on
the market than there was demand for,
and hey could find little sale for their
goods. The idea of closing out the busi-
ness had been considered for some time,
and had finally been decided upon.
While not among the first, the mill is
one OF the early wooden mills in the State.
1t was incorporated In 1870, and the
owners were Phetteplace q Seagrave Of
Providence, and James L. Pierce, who had
been connected with the wooden industry
for n number of years. The brick mill,
150x50 feet, four stories high, with an ell
OF wood SixSS feet, was erected on Mill
street, Central Falls. Six sets OF cards
were first started, and the goods produced
were fancy cassimeres and doeskins. The
capacity of the mill was IA sets, but the
most ever run were nine sets. The COM
pany did an excellent business; their
goods were of the best quality, and
brought the highest prices In the market.
A few years ago the head Of the company
died and the management changed. Since
then there has been gradual falling OF
in the business, and for the last few years
the mill has been run at loss. New men
were tried az the head, and for time the
mill did better, but it had lost It's prestige,
and it seemed that nothing could replace
1t in the position IL once occupied.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-Dr. jenkins this

BOSTON, Sept. I0.-The entryway Of the
house 80 Fayette street was the scene of q
shooting affray between Elijah Stewar,
and j. Gordon Street about 9:45 O'Clock
last night. Tht shooting was the outcome
of trouble over woman, aud oil the

and proprietor Of the Boston Republican.

So near IA can be ascertained, Stewart

she Is said To have taken a number of his
papers home with her TO the house No. 80
Fayette street to put them In wrappers

Shortly after Q o'clock Street went 20
the house, as the landlady says, I'm n
great hurry, and was standing In the
room near the table when Stewart, who
was evidently tracking him. rang the bell
and asked to see his wife.
She met him In the entry and had few
minutes talk He then asked II Street
was there, and receiving an affirmative an.
swer asked TO see him. His wife called
Street, and as he entered the entry Stew
art drew a revolver and fired at Street.

Stewards wife: "Tm afraid am shot"
The landlady opened the door, and
pushed Stewart out. As she did so Street
fired shot, the bullet lodging in the door
casing. Immediately thereafter Stewards
wife led Street down stairs, and he went
out
This IL the last that has been seen of

anywhere. He had not been taken to any
OF the hospitals and had not been home.

OFF|CERAT TH[DEPOT
Taking Note Of All Arriv.
ing Immigrants.
PREVENTION BEATS CURE.
Health officer Stanley Alive to the
Necessities ofthe Situation.

Health officer Stanley has stationed
Special Officer Mooney at the depot to
watch all trains arriving there upon
which immigrants from foreign countries
reach this city. While the danger is not
as yet very menacing, II Is the decided
opinion OF Mayor Carroll and DR.. Stanley
that prevention Is better than cure, and
that II Is better to prevent the introduce
tion OF cholera than to try to suppress it
after 1t gets here.
Special officer MONEYS duties are to
keep a sharp watch of all incoming trains
and note such immigrants as many arrive
He then takes their names, the port at
which they embarked from and also the
place from which they started to reach
the place OF embarkation. This informa-
tion is also supplemented by a detailed
statement of where and when they ar
rived In this country, and at what port,
and their destination In this city and
vicinity.
BY this means the health authorities
will be able 10 keep constant track of all
immigrants from European and other for
eign countries, and be In a position to act
definitely should any serious symptoms
develop in the locality OF any newly ar
rived immigrant. 1t is to be hoped that
the work will be prosecuted carefully and
vigorously.
In this connection II might be said that
the Health officer is apparently thorough
ly alive to the responsibility Of his posi-
tion in the matter. He is pushing the
swill problem and IL Will doubtless be
solved at Monday nights meeting of the
Board. He and Mayor Carroll have often
also pointed out to the Board the neces-
sity Of abating the Hammond's Pond
nuisance but as yet without effect.
