A Tragic Tale of Love That Met With .
Sad End.
With his arms pressed tenderly about
her lissom waist, Charley T~opnobber
stood with dainty Marie Van Clifton on
the broad porch of the Van Clifton resi-
dence on the heights, and while she rest
ed her head upon his shoulder they looked
up at the scattered stars that sailed
through the scudding mist in the blue
bowl of night. There was little said, for
Charlie is bright enough to know that
his silences are far more brilliant than
his speeches, and Marie was thinking
deeply. At last she moved uneasily and
said:
Your sister hates me-"
Charlie held his peace.
"And l hate her."
Charlie still continued to hold his
peace, also to hold Marie.
"And since this is So" said Marie bit.

her finger, 'you and / would better meet
as strangers only after this. Our en-.

she strove to withdraw herself from her
lovers embrace. He would not release
her. She painted angrily, LET me &c,
sir!' and driving her little hands fiercely
against his chest she pushedherself from
his clasp as he staggered back a pace,
with an expression of pain, and clasped
his hands tightly to his bosom.
"Oh, Marie" he cried.
And she drew back into the shadow to
hide the pain she felt for him in this mo
ment of anguish.
"Oh, Marie, you have broken .
His fingers were clutching his breast.

Some of the popular interest has died
out because OF the an nouncement that
uothing could be done in time for this

VERY DIRTY WATER.
why the CITY Supply Has Been Almost
Useless for the Past Three Weeks.

why the CITY Supply Has Been Almost
Useless for the Past Three Weeks.
There has been great complaint re-
Gently Of the very dirty condition of the
city's water supply, particularly in that
section Of the city where the low pres
sure mains extend. The water of the
western section OF tho city has recently
been filed with sediment and even the
ordinary cotton cloth bag has been
pressed into service in order to clean
the water OF sediment sufficiently to per-
init of It's being used as wash water.
which profaabfy partially account for the
trouble. One Of these is the very heavy
rains that have caused the Paw Juxet
river to overflow its banks, and until
Yesterday it was very muddy as it flowed
BY the pumping station 1t has now,
hove ver, become clearer.
The second reason given is the Begin
ming of the sprinkling cart business.
TheAl carts have for three weeks past
been running. Thew draw large amounts
OF water very rapidly from the mains
and stir up the SEDIMENT, particularly in
the central portions OF the city. Then
too the building OF the new sewer sys-
tenn calls for a larger amount Of water
thar usual and the flow through the
pipes is greater than during the winter
months.
The last reason is one very little thought
OF. 1t il the unusual moun Of water
ussd At large fires. The demands put
upon the rnains during a large fire are
very great, and indeed at times IL is al
most impossible to get water enough TO
supply the lines of hose. Yesterday in
the vicinity of Aborn street and Atwell's
avenue 1t was almost impossible to use
the water at all. and the complaints at
the City hall were numerous
All these causes combiued, say the City
hall officials, have made the supply
worse than usual, but they feel that

Special Advantage Of Wayland Park
Near Knightsviiie.
There is no doubt that a great move
ment has been begun toward the secur-
ing of suburban homes by the residents
of this city and many well-to-do eoule
are waking up to the fact that "A
home In the country where the getty
improvements and conveniences can lie
had Is more desirable, all things
considered, than one in the heart of the
city. This, then, is the conclusiol to be
first arrived at. Next comes the ques-
ton, Where can we secure all the mod
err improvements and at tie same time
enjoy the fresh country air 2"
For answer to this query a glance at
the plats OF the different real estate deal
ers is necessary. One OF these plats
which at once commends itself to the
people is Wayland park, situated In the
town Of Cranston, one walk
from the Knightsville station. and about
three minutes from the town hal,
church and school house. Here
lots are being sold at prices
ranging from s25 to 500 IA according
to location. There have been nit G streets

Blackstone Doesn't Like the Woonsocket
street Railway.


street Railway.
WooNsoCKET, May 9th, Woon-
socket street railway has received a bad
slap In the face, aud one which may
place a decided check upon the plans of
the company for extending the system
and equipping it with the trolley system.
The Blackstone, (Mass.,) board Of Sc
lectmen he'd a public hearing at which
the street railway was represented by
General Manager klingeis NTH, Attorney
j. j. Heffernan and r.. n. Ray. The
hearing was adjourned after two hours
OF hot ~discuss.on, in which plain talk
was used, and which WAS adjourned by
the selectmen without takink action on
the petition OF the company to erect
poles and maintain wires and have An
exclusive franchise to Blackstone
streets for twenty-five years.
Town Solicitor Thayer said he wanted
it understo d that he did o obj set to
electricity, but wanted tim TO consider
which system was the best Que.
General Manager Fliugelsmith sail
that Mr.. Thayer had no need to investi-
gate the storage battery system, as tae
WoonsocKet Street Railway
would not adopt it under any circum-
stances.
Lawrance Boylan spoke somewhat
plainly on the way the c~itizens Of Black
stone had been treated by the street rail-
way officials in not watering the streets,
not erecting n station, not liking up the
highways, and in not living up TO the
promises made in getting the former
franchise.
Thomas McCooly spoke in favor of the
trolley system, but did not wish to zee
the company granted "A franchise for
twenty-five years, and stating that the
citizens of Woonsocket now see their
mistake in granting such a franchise as
quickly as their eli y council did.
The 'rend Of ABOUT al the talk from
the cit Gems was on the line laid down by
Mr.. Boylan, and is u severe blow to the
street railway company.

The entire course was AGO nautical
miles, which was steamed over twice.
On the First Run
the speed was 20:S3 knots and the second
2l:35, the difference being due to the tide
which was against the vessel OF the trip
