SAVED MANY LIVES.
Presence of Mind OF Engineer O'Brien on
the Pascoag Road.


the Pascoag Road.
Yesterday foreneen as the Pascoag train
neared Woonsocket Engineer Martin III.
O'Brien saw that the switch leading on to
sidetrack was open.
He reversed and put on the air brakes,
stopping the train within three feet of the
open switch. The cars were brought to a
standstill so suddenly that the passengers
were thrown out OF their seats, but II the
engineer had not noticed the open switch,
which was just west Of the trestle bridge
over the Consolidated tracks, his train,
loaded with passengers and school chill
dren, would have left the rails and been
precipitated 25 feet below on the Consoli-
dated tracks, over which south bound
train was due In few minutes.

WORK OF A BRUTE.
Vicious Assault Upon His Wife and Step
Son by Horace Hays.

Horace Hays a colored man. residing at
No. 22i East Michigan street, is wanted by
the police for a vicious assault upon his
wife. Last night Hays was little late in
coming to his evening meal, and his wife
left the house before he came in. When
Hays came home and found his wife absent
he was very angry and cursed roundly.
After eating his meal he retired, and about
10 o clock his wife came in. AS soon she
entered the room where he Hays
sprang at her and struck her in the face
with a pair of knucks. She staggered
backwards across the room, and Hays, fol-
lowing her. struck her a second blow, saying
at the time that he would kill her. The
second blow knocked Mrs. Hays down.
and she fell upon the bed in which her
seven-year- son, Hulley Johnson, was
sleeping. The little boy had seen his step
father strike his mother and, in his feeble
way, sought to protect her. He leaped
from the bed, and his Infatuated. step
father struck him upon the head. The
little boy ran from the room and his step
father pursued him into another part of
the house. occupied by another family.
Here he again struck the boy and knocked
him down.
wife and little step-son he fed from the
house. Mrs. Hays was found in, semi
conscious condition, and the police were
called in 1t was found that she had cut
i'm her left cheek, and DR.. carp was asked
to come and dress the wound. Although
ii was not within the province of the po-
lice surgeons duties, d. carp attended
the case and bandaged the wound All the
police were instructed to watch for Hays,
and it is probable that he will be arrested
to-day.
Mrs. Hays says she left her home for
the purpose of having a. dress fitted. She
says it is the first time her husband ever
struck her, though in a quarrel Sunday he
told her he would kill her.

troller Wocllen certified that the tax du-
picates, shown by County Auditor Tag
CARTS statement, listed taxable property
IN the city amounting in value TO sl0sa A.
S2o. Two per cent. of this. the max mum
amount of city Indebtedness allowed by the
charter, would be S2.0 $3.50. There is pen
atty for allowing the city's Indebtedness to
exceed this sum-
The Indebtedness of the city, aside from
the temporary loans, as shown by Mr..
Woollen's report, is s1,ss4,50o There is
$4,000 of outstanding temporary loan GER
tihcates. Mr. Woollen anticipated $4,000
OF the city's revenues from the No
vember installment of taxes, Mr.. Trusler
obtained 5000 from the city treasurer. and
there is an overdraft OF 5000. This makes
a total Indebtedness of s2,Oi9570. To this is
to be added the S2l 900 of bonds. which must
be considered as outstanding, in accord
ance with the city's claim of the deposit
in Frenzeps bank Thus the grand total OF
the Indebtedness is swollen to $2,030,510,
while the law only allows an indebtedness
of 5000 950-the indebtedness within $685.. 80
of the maximum. This is the reason why
Controller Trusler will issue no more war
rants until more money is obtained. Money
can be borrowed after the temporary loans
are paid from the November installment of
taxes

WANTED-A CAT KILLER.
Man of Nerve Needed to Slaughter
Household Pets at Muncie.

Police Superintendent Colbert is vested
with the power to grant some one a novel
and lucrative situation for few DAYS.
Some time ago the State Board of Health in
formed the Muncie citizens that it would be
good scheme TO kill off every cat and dog
In the city, and recommended that if the
suggestion was carried out the danger of
smallpox being transmitted from one sec
ton of the town to another would be
greatly lessened. Pursuant to the sug-
gestioD a man was employed, but came to
grief speedily. He put in a day extermi-
mating CANNES and felines, and. as a re-
suit. had accumulated a vast army of
enemies. More than half the families who
suffered the loss of one of these animals
extravagantly asserted that they would
not have had their pets killed for enormous
sums. Great Indignation was expressed
over the town, and forcible were the
threats made by the populace against the
cat and dog killer that he promptly re-
signed.
Now the city wants to employ a man
who has the nerve TO slaughter the pet"
population of Muncie without a twinge
of conscience. In letter TO Superin-
tendent Colbert yesterday, DR.. j. c..
Jackson. OF the Muneie Board of Health.
a man. The pay is excellent, the Doctor
says. as the city allows so cents for
each animal killed However the appli-
cant must be utterly without a sense
OF remorse, and must possess enough back
bone to turn deaf ear TO every wom-
an who wants her lovely tabby"
tntendent Colbert will consider applications
from cat killers.

He spurted himself in fine style and victory

HAD PASSED THE CENTURY MARK
Death of Patrick Shea at the Advanced
Age of 104 Years.

Patrick Shea died at O'Clock Sunday
morning at the residence of his daughter,
Mrs Honora Kelley, No. ca Dillon street.
Mr. Shea was undoubtedly the oldest per-
son in this city, and probably enjoyed the
distinction of being the oldest man in the
State having reached the advanced age of
1O4 years. His death was due to no organic
trouble, but simply his extreme old age. He
was born in County Kerry, Ireland, and
came to this country in 1880, and has since
resided in this city. He was not married
until he was ftty-two years of age, and
his widow is now seventy-five years of age
He leaves surviving him five children, all
daughters, residing in this city, as do also
all of his grandchildren and great-grand-
children. Notwithstanding his advanced age
he remained stout and hearty till a few
years ago, and until about six years ago
managed to assist in the support of himself
by working a laborer. During the past
six years he has been totally blind and UNI
able to perform any kind of work. The
funeral will be held from st. Patrick \
Church at ) o'clock this morning, the Rev.
Father O'Donaghue officiating

Ter Trusler draw any sum exceeding this

the power OF city officials to get any more

edness Is paid with the city's installment
