The OLD COLONY DEAL.
Prospects for Providence Under the
Consolidation.
CITY BOTTLED UP.
Completely Mt the Mercy of One Corpora
don, Says n Prominent CitiEen-De-
prived of the Advantage of COMPETE
tion and Tied to One Railroad.

Providence is vitality interested in the
rumored deal by which the Consolidated
road is to secure control of the Old
Colony.
III consummate ed" said one man this
morning, cit will place Providence en-
tirely at the mercy Of one corporation.
There VIII be no inlet for an other rail
road, aud no outlet for any other road.
The new combination will not only COT
troll all the roads, both north and south
of the city, but IL will be the absolute
master of the new passenger station. 1t
will allow no other road to come into it
unless it sees lit.
"Not only this. but it will be practi-
cally impossible for any other road to
enter the city anG reach tide water. The
Old Colony aud the New York, New
Haven and Hartford have tracks II
lines running from Fields Point TO the
Cove lands on one side Of the bay aud
from Warren TO East Providence and
tnence To the Cove on the other side.
More than that, there are extensions run
ming along the east size OF the SeeKonk
from Pawtucket To East Providence.
1.-The city is absolutely aud completely
hemmed in on all sides, and the bay aud
our shipping Will be absolutely at the
mercy OF one corporation, II this deal
goes through.
at is not in the interest OF good policy
to allow ourselves 90 be thus deprived OF
competition, aud / think the citizens aud
the Legislature ought To protest vigor-
ously against IL.
-Ihe present aim Of the New England
is only 20 secure for itself the right to
run its trains through the new station on
the through tracks. This is only justice
to the road. 1t is justly entitled to that
privilege II IL consents to give up the
land now owned by It."
Ia Boston to-day the Old Colony stock
was strong aud sold at S202. There is a
very decided opposition TO the sale OF the
Old Colony road u steamship company
TO the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford. The sale or lease will have 70 be
ratified by the Legislature. and IL is
thought tina lt will be impossible for
any such plan To receive its approval.
Local authorities predict that II a deal
il consnmmated II will be on a basis of )
per cent guarantee and a bonus In cash,
such as was granted To ,the stockholders
of the old Boston and Providence.

10 the takers in the own paying less ior
water than the takers in the city. Ihat
the town should impose a still further
tax upon the city by taxing the large
mains, thereby attaining still greater al
vantages, is one of the reasons why the
committee claim that the city is not be-

1t the citizens of he town of Cranston
expect to purchase water upon the same
terms aud conditions hat is charged IN
this city, the town shonld exempt the

mend, il they should decide to make
such exemption, that the city should
agree to extend pip's and supply them
with Water at its lowest rates. AS TO the
other property belonging TO the city in
variation, that could be adjusted by
proper legal proce, ulngs.

READY To LEGISLATE.
The General Assembly viii Start
Up Its Machinery Tomorrow.
JUDGE BALL0U'S SUCCESSOR.
Thomas z. lee the Most Prominently
Mentioned for the Place-The judi
ciary, Corporation, State Loan and
other Important Matters.

The commencement Of the regular jan
uary session of the General Assembly to-
morrow will revive interest in the many
projects for the better government of the
state and for a time at least the state
affairs will receive their full share of at
tention at the hands of newspapers and
people who have interests at stake.
The important measures which are
sure to come up at this session have been
mentioned from time to time in the NEWS
but IL is perhaps proper that they be re-
counted at this time before the opening
of the session,
The so-called judiciary bill is perhaps
as important a matter as will come up at
this SESSION.
The corporation bill will probably be
one of the early measures to be acted
upon and "A caucus will probably decide
i'm what position the majority Will stand
and the date of its consideration.
The loan for the building OF a new state
house is assured IL the eager ones do not
try TO make the cost too large. as in that
case the economical country members
will rise up in their might and kill it
dead as u door nail.
One of the minor matters that will at
tract considerable attention is the cleo
ton OF a new justice for the Twelfth
Judicial District, TO fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Ballou.
There are two candidates for the honor
and thus far Thomas Il. Lee. clerk OF the
House of Representatives seems TO have
the preference among the legal frater-
nifty.
There is a general movement among in
surance men to secure the election of Il
commissioner who shall have no other
Office, and shall be "A practical insurance
man. 1t is understood that Gov. Brown
favors such a plan and probable that it

JAMES GILLESPIE BLAINE,
Born January 81, 1880. IL
Died January %, 1893.

At Ills o'clock the first prayers OF the
services were said by Rev. DR.. Teunis =.
Hamlin. Immediately thereafter the
relatives took a last look at the face o.
the departed. The expression Of the
face was peaceful, and the lineaments
showed but few traces of the ravages o.
disease.
At 11.40 am. the body was borne to the
Church OF the Covenant, where the ser
vices were strictly private, only those be-
ing admitted who had received an invi-
tation.
The decorations of the Church of the
Covenant for the funeral were under the
charge of Mr.. George II. Brown, public
gardener. There were palms and fern.
from the agricultural department and the
botanical gardens, and cut flowers from
the ~propagating gardens in the depart
ment of the engineer in charge OF the
public buildings and grounds of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The first eight rows of seats in the
main body were set aside for the family,
the relatives and pail bearers. Behind
them, In order, were seated the President,
Vice President, Cabinet officers, Speaker
Crisp and members of the Supreme
Court, with their families.
In the rear OF these came the Senators
and Representatives. On the south side
Of the church were seated the
Members OF the various delegations
from Maine, Massachusetts, New York
and Pennsylvania, and on the north side
the personal friends who had received in
vitations. Mrs. Garfield and daughter
were present.
Here, as Mt the house, the services were
OF the simplest character, consisting Of
the reading OF the Presbyterian burial
ritual and prayer by DIR. Hamlin. There
was no music save that OF the organ, which
was played by Walter Damrosch, the dead
mans son-in-law.
After those present had had an oppor-
tunity to look upon the beloved states
mans face for the last time, the remains
were borne from the church, the follow
ing gentlemen acting "a pail bearers (:
