The death OF one OF Rhode Islands
prominent sons is announced. The Hon.
T.. III. Hazard died in the home of his
brother, DIR. William II. Hazard, at Wake
field last night. The deceased has been in
poor health for some time and his ad-
vanced age invited the ravages OF pneu-
monia which attacked him last Friday.
Mr.. Hazard was born September 20, 1872,
and after graduating from Brown univer-
sity, studied law and became one of the
states famous lawyers. He was as fam
iliar with men and things OF the states as
any man within its confines.

Police Qf6cer Abel G. Whidden Is Now
Very Seriously III.
MAY DIE FROM BLOOD POISONING.
So IL IL Feared by the Attending Pbysi-
cians--He Arrested Emma Hall Three
Months Ago-she BIT Him i'm the leg
and Now He May Die.

One OF the most popular and expe-
rienced police patrolmen in the depart
ment, Abel G. Whidden of Station 4, is
in a critical condition from blood
poisoning in the leg resulting from the
arrest of a notorious woman, Emma
Hall some three months ago. She has
spent the greater part OF the past ten
years in the state woi'Ahouse, to which
she has been sentenced for lewd and
turbulent behaviour. She lived with
a paramour on Weeden street at the
time of the assault, and as the result of q
drunken quarrel, she cut his throat with
O razor. Policeman Whidden attempted
to arrest her, but found her most for
midable antagonist.
Is u Perfect Amazon.
She is of Amazonian proportions, and is
reckless and violent when she resorts to
drink. Captain Marston and another off,
Ger lent their assistance and she
was handcuffed and locked up.
Subsequently she was sentenced
ment for an aggravated assault,
and is serving out years imprisonment.
She lit the Omcer's Leg,
In an encounter with Mr.. Whidden she
succeeded in fastening her teeth repeat
edly in his leg, and having something in
the nature OF an iron jaw, she lac
Grated his flesh with bulldog ten
acity. The officer had the
wound dressed and returned to his beat,
which includes Atwells avenue and the
historic Italian colony. The leg troubled
him at intervals but he pluckily stuck to
his post until ordered home by the police
surgeon.
Blood Poisoning Sets In.
Within the past fortnight symptoms OF
blood poisoning were manifested, and
Drs. Palmer and Hersey have
been devoting their skill to check
ing the - iHsidious disease. Mr..
Whidden is about So years OF age and up
wards Of 6 feet in height and of muscular
proportions. He is one of the Oldest
members Of the force and has
travelled his present beat for
several years. He has found
frequent occasions to test his courage and
endurance with some of the toug hest
characters which haunt that community,
and has always stood the test with re-
markable courage and determination.
1t is feared in police circles that the dis
ease may result fatally, and much
sympathy and respect is expressed
by the officials of the de-
partment and the law-abiding citizens in
the precinct where his fidelity and eff
cheney have wob their respect and appre-
citation.
