Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1892-06-09
CENTRAL FALLS.


Yesterday afternoon Emanuel Narcotic,
Especial constable, OF Manville, was
placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff
Cook on warrant charging him with
trespass and assault.
After considerable trouble Narcotic
secured bondsmen and was released on
"a, 600 bonds, to appear before the next
term OF he Court Of Common Pleas.
The warrant was sworn out by Adolphus
Lambert CT Woonsocket and the damages
asked is 1900.
II alleges that Narcotic came to his
house without a warrant to recover some
goods.
Lambert could not give up the goods
and then, 1t is alleged, the assault was
committed.
Narcotic would say nothing this morn
Ing except that no Woosocket lawyer
could scare him.
This Is the same man who swore out q
warrant for boy years old on a charge
of being drunk and quareling and re-
Yelling, and after keeping the warrant
ten days arrested the child, whom the
Court promptly discharged.
Central Streets wretched Condition.
Any person who has occasion to drive
over Central street, between Broad and
Mill streets, can testify TO the miserable
condition i'm which il is and has been for
long time. 1t is hardly safe to drive
horse faster than walk. The crosswalks
in some places are sunken and in other
10 4 haV aiaa IL
than the street. Some of the sewer pock-
cts are high and some slant fl ON the CEN
ter of the street. In dry weather it is
nothing unusual to see the street Uttered
with paper of every description and be-
ing blown about by the wind, which does
not add much TO the beauty of the thor
oughfare. Then again the street is un-
even and in rainy weather a medium
sized steam yacht can be sailed over some
of the lakes that form, and in general il
Is as bad as country road in springtime.
The men who pay taxes and rents on this
street have ample cause to complain of
its condition and insist on something be-
ing done. Some time ago the Council
gave notice that improvements would be
made on that portion OF the street, but
nothing has been heard since the note
was posted. Now Is the time for action.
Another Struggle for Office.
With the victory of the Republicans
comes another struggle for the possession
| OF the offices that are within the gift of the
Town Council. Those men who held the
offices last year want them again, and
those who were left out in the cold fee
that their turn has now arrived. IL the
Council appoints the whole crowd they
will make enemies, and il they select a
new set they may except the ill will OF the
present office holders.
Preliminary Meeting.
A preliminary meeting that may be
| termed star chamber session, OF the
| Council, will be held to make up slate of
town officers. The new members have
friends and some OF the old ones will be
frozen out.
| Business Men.
A meeting of the Business Mems Asso-
citation will be held this evening. There
| is considerable business to be transacted
and full meeting is requested. SO far
surveys have been made of High, Central
end Dexter streets, but no work has been
done. The association should spur the
council up a little. They were probably
waiting to see which way the cat jumped
on election day, but now that that is
settled something should be done besides
talking.
| Interesting Items.
John II. Burns is manager of n base ball
team that is awaiting challenge.
| Mrs. ID. q. Littlefield and family are
home from Europe and Australia, having
been absent all winter.
| The John W. Davis Club meets tonight.
A fine photograph of the police force
| graces Clerk Crawford's desk.
1t is said that the High School gradua-
tion class will have to hire a hall for their
exercises. The reason for this step is not
stated.
The handsome diploma OF X. M. Burns
from the United States College OF En-
balmers is on exhibition i'm the window OF
Crane & Burns.
A little girl who said her name was
Annie Daley was found wandering on
Parker street Tuesday evening and was
taxed to the home OF Thomas Parker and
cared for.
John Mccarthy OF Walnut street has re
turned from brief visit to the Old Coun'
try. He has brought with him two sticks
OF wood for which Ireland is famous
blackthorn, and he presented one ito MIR
Crawford and the other TO Mr.. Colds
worthy.
