A Sunday Runaway -Postofiice Ap-
plicants-Notes About Town.

Sunday was great day in this villsge.
and the principal thoroughfares were
lively with people all during the day and
evening, giving drug stores and other
places that were open an opportunity to
do good business.
The good weather called many to the
various houses OF worship. Judge Con
held his regular service, and each OF
the three attendants, who came from
up In the country, were compelled to do
nate f460 to the States contribution.
There was deal of driving, and livery
stable business was brisk.
The hustlers of both political parties
held Sunday afternoon conference aud
began forming plans for the June cam
psign. Central street was alive all
day, and the police were kept busy
moving the gatherings of men In
several places. As usual the local
"Bowery" kept up its former record
aud yielded victims for the police. Town
Sergeant Keene made an early morning
trip, investigating the screen law of the
liquor saloons, and the majority of them
was found to be In the proper condition.
There was not as much drunkenness
noticed as a week ago. The park was a
favorite spot, and many people were
found there. There was no police
on duty, and the youngsters
held "high jerks" at times during the
day. The new circus, OF which News
dealer Conroy Is the proprietor, left town
at an early hour for Woonsocket, where
they opened for three days stay today.
They went overland and took a few local
men to perform the hard work OF can
vsssmen. Three of them returned here
before o'clock, being dissatisfied
with the engagement. The per-
formers arrived here during the day
and created no little excitement ut the
place of meeting the manager. To Bee
circus performers congregate for the sea-
son TO begin, caused Washington street to
resemble Union Square, New York. Moth
ing IL too good for Central Falls to have on
the Sabbath. The officers appointed to
look after the liquor selling will not be
heard OF again until they put In their bills
for salary. They were among the absent
ones a. usual Sunday.
