ASKING THE COURT.

The Democrats Submitted Their Questions
This Morning.
The Democrats, through their attorney,
Arthur X. Brown, who has so yaliantly
fought the South Kingstown battle, this
morning submitted to the Supreme Court
the questions of law ordered sub.
mitted by the Democratic House of Re-
representatives., which refused to vacate at
the order OF the Governor until the court
had passed upon whether his action was
legal or not, or as to whether the Senate,
as part of the Returning Board to whom
the ballots cast by the people of the State
on Wednesday, April g. are returnable,
has right to refuse to perform the duty
Of opening and counting those ballots.
The court Is not only to be asked for an
opinion on certain vital questions of fun
damental law, but the Democratic majori-
ty of the House OF Representatives insists
upon a hearing being given upon each
and every question submitted by order of
the lower bran,h OF the legislature before
the adjournment was taken at Newport
Friday last.
The counsel for the Democrats will
claim before the Supreme Court that 1t is
impossible to know whether Gov. Brown
or the Democratic candidate, David Baker
Jr., received majority on April 8.
Thus far there has been no official count
and portion of the remainining board
refuse to proceed.
Although the Republicans have engaged
the ex- Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
and a coterie Of stalwart Republicans to
give them counsel there is still much
anxiety about the affairs on the part OF
the acting Office holders.
The indications point to a most vigor-
Gus battle, and with an opportunity to hll
any Supreme Court vacancy with a Dem
ocrat the condition of affairs is far from
being onesided, as II has been heretofore.

night. and the two we've heard by those in
the house to be engaged in an alteration
a short time before the finding OF Thomp-
son.
He was taken to the hospital yesterday
In the early morning that Thompson
might have an opportunity to identify him
as his assailant, but at that time the
patient had not recovered consciousness.
Later in the day he became conscious, and
Holland was brought before his alleged
victim. Thompson, however, was still too
much muddled to give the desired informa-
ton.
Thompson's skull is fractured, and at
the hospital it is said that his cha noes for
recovery are extremely slim.

CUM BERlAND

The town election is proceeding quietly
and up to noon no incident OF moment
occurred to mar the smoothness of the
greatest contest Cumberland has ever
known.
The polls opened In both districts at
o'clock, the hour fixed by law, and after
the call had been read, the certificates OF
the supervisors examined and the sample
ballots and instruction sheets posted,
voting was commenced.
In the lower or Valley Falls district
Moderator Thomas b. Harrison presided
and John +. Barry, district clerk, was In
his accustomed place. There were several
party workers in the polling room and
about the doors.
Town Clerk p. +. Kinion, James IL.
Dwyer and John T. Cullen were present
for the regular Democrats and stephen j..
Dexter, John +. Clark and George l..
whipple for the regular Republicans
Thomas Pearson and Lamartine White
head were pushing things for the ENG
lish voters" making IL painfully evident
that their anxiety to win was very great
and their fear OF losing greater.
About $40 ballots had been cast at the
hour of going to press and no person al
the polling place was willing to risk
prediction on the final result. The Dem
ocrats have strong hopes, and for tha
matter, so have the Republicans.

THE SILVER ANNIVERSARY.
The Children WIN Assist st High Mass at
St. Mary's Tomorrow Morning.

The Children WIN Assist at High Mass nj
81. Msry's Tomorrow Morning.
Rev. w. Halligan, the beloved pastor Of
St. Mary's, has !consented In recognition
OF the 25th anniversary of his ordination,
to modify his original announcement, In
so far as he will celebrate at $50 O'Clock
tomorrow high mass of jubilee with the
children OF the schools-his special care
present to assist at the mass.
1t was his original intention to allow
the day to pass unnoticed by any special
exercises, but his flock would not SUBJ
NIT. He could not refuse to have a
celebration of this memorial BILE event with
the children OF the parish, who will also
tender him a reception In the afternoon
In the school hall which will take the
nature OF an entertainment to which the
parents are extended a hearty welcome.
He has also consented to attend the
reception and banquet of the Young
Mems Catholic Association In the evening
In honor Of the event.
1t isunderstood that the school children
will present to him In the afternoon a
beautiful gold ostensorium for the use Of
the altar.
This method was decided on as IL Is
well known that 1t is repugnant to him to
receive any personal gifts. Consequently
all the gifts have been for the use of the
church as was that of the altar boys and
the Young Ladies Sodalities.
The TRIBUNE joins with the whole COM
munity in wishing Father Hslligan a
long and happy life as pastor OF st..
Mary's.

Boston, June 5-A fire originated from
some unknown cause Mt 12:45 o'clock yes
terday morning on the third floor Of the
three-story brick dwelling, 2 Davis street,
occupied as boarding and lodging house.
So rapid was the spread Of the flames that
Minnie Marston, 80 years old, who occu-
pied room in the rear, had her escape by
the stairway cut off, and, to save herself,
she jumped from the third story window
into the back yard. She was very severely
injured, and was removed to the city
hospital in semi-conscious condition,
where she died in 10 minutes.
Patrolman Knowlton and a citizen
named James Lyons made their way
through the flame and smoke to the top
floor of the building, from which they
rescued man and woman and two chill
dren, who were nearly suffocated by the
dense smoke and were unable to make
their escape unaided
The damage to the building and con
tents will be about $1,000.

NATIcK, Mass, June 5.-Tbere are a
great many hints thrown out to the effect
that some sensational evidence will be
forthcoming at the inquest to be held on
the murder OF Jacob Littig, who was
found dead on River street, South Natick,

Thus far there is not the slightest clue to
follow.

The dead laster was not broken, as at first
