ALONG THE BLACKSTONE VALLEY.
CENTRAL FALLS.

CENTRAL FALLS.
This village is well known as having
two distinct districts which at times have
ssrived hard to excel each other In i'm
provements and new ideas. II is also a
well known fact that registered at ,the Of
fee OF the police headquarters is the loca-
tion termed the "Bowery' named that for
the many rough experiences chronicled
within its borders. While the down
town Bowery has had many a sensation
and some severe battles, the western dis
| tIict has been unheard OF as having a
"Bowery" until the past few days.
There is a little group of down town
rookeries that were purchased by the
late Horace Daniels for various reasons
and moved into the then barren portion
OF the village, the upper end OF Central
street. Gradually the old-time families
who rented them dropped away or moved,
has occupied those in the rear of this
prominent thoroughfare.
The mixture Of inhabitants of Bowery
No. 2, 80 termed by the police, at times
has its share OF excitement and last night
was no exception to the regular bill of
fare. One of the residents, who has been
several times In court, got on the warpath
and made matters interesting for the
members of his family and the neighbors,
whom he visits only at times when he
| fills up with more than the ordinary cargo
which he is credited with carrying daily.

have probably had II II Patrolman Hark-
ness had not promptly responded to the
| request OF daughter. The sight of the
stalwart blue-coated guardian OF the
peace had a tendency to ring down the
curtain on the regular performance for a
while at least. Such Is life In Bowery
No. 2.
A Great Ball Game.
There was a bali game Yesterday after
noon on the "foundry lot" which drew a
large number OF spectators who, had the
admission been 81 per head, would have
got their moneys worth. The contesting
pines were the Leisure team and the wine
clerks. The latter have now quite repu-
tation "for poor playing" and Manager
Kennedy states that owing to some of the
members loosing their heads the team
will be re- organized with less profession :
ais. The success of yesterday has In
creased their luck, and some of the men,
bers are to be placed under a guardian so
lavishly did they squander their hard
earned salaries, feeling, like the members
of the Volunteer, sure of a success and
turning out equally as much better. The
game called at 2:30 O'Clock, was hard.
fought one from the start, that is, for the
Leisure club, who have been
accustomed to not performing
any manual labor for 30 long that a new
elixir of life will be injected into then
IL there Is ever another con
contest OF ball playing with the win
clerks. The wine clerks today have ou
their champion colors with the famou
score OF IS to 20 in favor of the dispenser
of choice wet goods. Senator Gookin
who made his debut as a player, was los
sight of. Manager Kennedy of the we
goods twirlers could not be beat at frs
base as his avoirdupois Iwoulc
not admit of such. John Crane
formerly .of Providence, wal
imported for the Leisure team ant
scooped in everything and with a new
invoice of wind he would be able to cop,
with anyone. Every good play which
was noticed was received with great ap-
plause. Probably the next game will b,
played In an enclosed barn, where lesi
time will be occupied in chasing the ball
The Dog Was Crazy.
Some evil disposed person. tied a tir
pail to dogs tail last evening and let the
canine loose. Ia its wild run 1t caused con.
siderable amusement to the many
pedestrians upon the streets, who gave Il

where the owner found it In an exhausted

| The Band Concert.
| Although the weather of last evening
was not enticing to the people for out
door amusements the band concert at
jerks park was fairly we'll attended.
A Double Break.
Thieves, probably boys, practiced bur-
glary at the market OF N.A.Spaulding and
the grocery store of 8. s. Beattie, both In
the same block, corner OF Illinois and
Central streets, during last night. A
small iron grating was wrenched from its
place over window of the market and
entrance was easily gained. The division
door between the two stores was easily
opened and in the grocery the thieves
helped themselves. A small cash box In
the show case was relieved of its contents,
amounting to sI.50. The money drawer
was next visited, about So being taken.
A box OF cheap cigars was also taken and
several hundred good ones left behind.
There is no clue to the thieves.

Cornelius Dugan, who was to have had
trial yesterday for a simple drunk, was
surrendered by his bondsman this morn
ing to the police, and Dugan was taken to
the police station. Friends went In search
of ball for him, aud IL not procured he
